Yup, it's Friday the 13th again! I know lots of people aren't very happy with this, and would rather stay at home or something ;) Silly superstition! For me Friday the 13th is a lucky day really! A few years ago I had my beautiful tattoo done on that day. And today the dentist was gonna pull a premolar.
I hate dentists! I hate people poking in my face and on my head! But I have to admit: it was waaaaaay less horrible than I thought it would be! I was the most scared for the anesthesia but that really was a piece of cake and of course I didn't feel a thing when the dentist pulled the tooth. So again: Friday LUCKY 13th :)
Last Monday we had a family gathering at my aunt's house, in memory of mom. She would have had her 70th birthday on Tuesday. Everybody except my kids were there, son had to work and daughter and granddaughter couldn't come, too fussy for Layla. My aunt had the event catered, lovely food :) Even my aunt from California was on Skype for a bit, was so good to see her too.I stayed a bit longer so I could have a talk with aunt.
But I celebrated mom the way I did last year: on her birthday I ate white asparagus with ham, eggs and butter sauce, mom's favourite meal! And I know this may sound harsh but I am glad mom didn't have to live to be 70. We really lost her when she lost her voice but the last few months of her life were really hell. She started the New Year in the best way possible!
2 more weeks and I'll be on my way to Chicago! I am super excited, can hardly wait to be there with my dearest Dan...I have all the declarations for customs ready, tickets printed, dollars ordered...All I have to do now is pack my suitcases (that's gonna take quite a while ;) ) and order a cab. Oh and pay online for my 2nd suitcase :p
The weather in Chicago is 'jumping' up and down. Hot, cold, wet, dry...Good thing I already decided to take 2 suitcases (and leave a lot of stuff there) because I am probably gonna need it! Summer clothes and cardigans I guess :D You'll see, somehow it'll be just HOT again, like every time I visited Chicago. And if it's cold, I'll just have to ask Dan to keep me warm :D
Well, don't know anything else to tell you! Just have a very Happy Friday the 13th!
Hugz and cya soon,
Anna
