okay, yes, my Christmas tree is still up, which surprised the girls that came over last night for some wine and cheese. Nathalie and Jyoti from work came, along with Jen, Rikki and Laurence from the CHUV. At first glance they didn't notice and then they all did a double take and asked, 'Why are your Christmas decorations still up?' well, here's the official answer: I need to pack all the ornaments very carefully to transport them back to the States and I haven't had time to spend carefully wrapping all the glass ornaments in bubble wrap. in other words, Joe and I have been too lazy/preoccupied with other things to take time to wrap the ornaments carefully. Really though, I was preoccupied this week and wasn't being lazy. Monday I went climbing; Tuesday I went for Thai with Adrian, Sai, Stephan and Iraklis; Wednesday I had ballet class; Thursday lunch at GE with Adrian and Jen and then Girl's Night. Tonight I'll be cooking Sai and Adrian my world famous lemon rosemary chicken with Hasselback potatoes. It's one of the few dinners I like to make! So there goes one more week and the Christmas tree is still sitting in the living room....maybe we'll take it down on Easter Sunday!
So Joe and Jacqui are on their way back to Switzerland from California right now. Poor Jacqui... it's actually her birthday today, and she's spending the entire day on a plane, then gets back to Lausanne tomorrow morning, missing her entire birthday traveling from California to Switzerland! But we'll go out and celebrate as much as we can...Jacqui may sleep through happy hour, but the rest of us sure won't miss it!
Happy Birthday Jacqui!!
