Snuggle days



Oh, today is one of the days I love most in the world. I get snuggle time with one of my most favorite ladies in the world.... We are having a jammie couch day full of tea and snacks and drawing and writing and talking and hugs and yes I admit a little TV...oh and don't forget "String Bear"...
Mind you the bad part is this snuggle time comes due to the extremely high viral load my house has at the moment. (cough drops have become a food group for me!!) Himself is the only one not showing outward signs of the unshakable coughing ick that seems to be rampant in our area at the moment...so our motivation levels are all very, very low! So not much is being achieved in our little corner of the world...although there needs to be food cooked!! Hmmm chili sounds good...I make mine with Yves veggie ground round as Himself is a vegetarian...
Yesterday I actually got a date with Himself, we got to see Juno and go have a coffee... Juno was ok, not as fantastic as the hype for it but the soundtrack is really great and I really enjoyed Ellen Page and all the teen speak. Then that evening we took all our little people and some of their friends to see The Water Horse. This was a movie that got very little press in our area and was really wonderful! Although the setting (Scotland) made himself homesick, not helped really by my Valentine's gift to him from http://www.foodireland.com they have all the Irish "memory" foods. And their prices aren't too scary! We got one loaf of the Brennans bread and with one bite we were almost in tears with memories and longing...sigh... and right now if you order before Valentine's Day and type in LOVE in the coupon code they give you 5 dollars off your order!!
I should be writing my letter for the http://www.themodernletter.com. This is a project that pairs you with another participant each month to encourage the art of real letters and communication! I was always a big penpal girl in school so this is fun and you only need write two letters for the month one to the address you are assigned and one back to the person who writes you. Plus this aids my love of all things stationery and paper!!
Ok onto food and tidying!! Enjoy the day!

Mmmm...They have Dubliner cheese! I'll have to play around with that site when I get more time.

How much of a bribe do you need to pack me in one of your suitcases when you go next?
