Friday 31 August 2007: Heidi wants you to see her hair... See it? Sarah is trying to tell you something with her eyes. But what?


Sarah says:
Heidi is probably holding her nose because we both stink of garlic from what we ate for lunch. Onions actually. I mean shallots. Strong ones. Bad aftertaste but great lunch!
It's weekend! That's a good thing. School starts for the kiddies here Monday so summer is coming to its end. It's cold. End of summer, pre-school cold. Days are darkening and shortening.
I have a home full of kids. I can hear them playing dress-up downstairs. They sound very vivid. While they sleep tonight and my husband is out at a music quiz that Heidi is at too - I will hopefully get some friends I have been wanting to call on the phone! It is very difficult to ever find time to call anyone. It barely happens. I long to talk to some friends from America but that damn 6 hour difference makes it a challenge. I hope I reach some tonight! I can't wait to see a few of them when I am in New York soon! In a little more than a month!

Anyone out there interested in buying a pretty row house right near our that has two apartments in it that you can rent-out after renovating a bit? It's Euro 165,000 ($ 225,000) to buy and needs at least Euro 20,000 ($ 27,000) of renovation so you'd be looking at Euro 200,000 ($ 275,000) at the end of the day. BUT - then you can rent out the two apartments and earn money each month - probably a combined amount of about Euro 1,100 ($ 1,500)!

Well - the kids are here now all dressed up and ready to watch TV. I have a strange feeling right now. I can't describe it well though. I have that end of summer feeling. That little dip feeling. A little darkness inside. Today I felt so happy and yesterday too and so full of good energy. But right now I have a sort of hole in my gut feeling. It will pass... I think it has to do with ends and beginnings. Saying goodbye to one thing and looking forward to another but hanging somewhere in between for the moment - one foot in the past and one in the future. I guess it just feels better to have both feet on the ground in one place and not to feel divided... Maybe that's the source of my dip feeling. Yesterday I felt like I was in the future and it felt great. Today I was more in the past than ever sort of... Time will solve it all!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!

Can you please share with the rest of us what HTMYF means?

I already figured out WYTAW (What you talkin'about Wilus).

Many thanks,
ASG

Actually, I think it's most common to say WYTBW, with the B standing for 'bout. But arguably it should just be WTBW, as the what and you are contracted into something sounding like whachugh. It really sounds more like four words--whachugh talkin' 'bout Willis--than five--what you talkin' 'bout Willis--when said properly. Entire tomes could be written on the topic, but IVPOY for figuring it out at all.

And HTMYF means how's that make you feel. Sometimes, however, it's written HAYMTFBT, when one wishes to employ the passive voice. But that's a whole other topic best saved for a rainy day.
