Only at the Bank in Dhaka - Wow!

My brain hurts.

I heart my new racket

More presents on the way to Dhaka from Canada - youpeeee!

NUUNs are my saving grace here

(Thanks MOMMY!)

Yay - for being well hydrated!

I have never owned a laptop always a desktop.

(Gulp)

This is a big step for me.

Times are a changing.

YOUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yeah, I know.

I AM FREAKING LUCKY!

Waiting for the other shoe to drop...but until that does, gonna enjoy being spoiled rotten and 

appreciate everything about where I am in my life right now.

Starting with this second.

BOOM.

Did I mention how much I love you guys?

True story.

Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-thank-you!

Again, sorry about the bragging all about my gifts thing....spoiled BRAT can't shut up sometimes.

p.p.s

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and STILL there is New Years to come.

This day just keeps getting better.

Smiling*

T'was the night before Christmas...

Loving that right now it's Christmas Day in Dhaka 

but 

still Christmas EVE in Canada.

Watching videos of my family and laughing at just

how lucky I am to have

such GREAT nephews, nieces, sisters, brothers and 

more than one set of moms and dads.

*It seems that I have been adopted by more than one 

family over the years.

Happy Christmas 

&

Merry New Year, World.

(Particularly to those whom I love - you know who you are!)

Now back to writing applications, job searching, and unit planning....

...but maybe some TENNIS and BREAKIE first!

Bahhahah. 

When in Dhaka for Xmas TREAT yourself?

I didn't think it was possible but....

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN SALAD in Dhaka and YES;

it was delicious and delightful.

Only at the Nordic, of course ;-D

I don't even remember what I put on it...I think it was EVERYTHING!

Table for one? YUP!

The INTENSITY of my stare was appropriate since it was been 7 hours since eating.

Pheeeew!

Thank goodness for the Nordic Club and all its charms.

Just another day in Dhaka.

So...yeah.

Alexander Chalmers said it best, today!

Thought Of The Day

The three grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for...

Christmas Item # 6 - A Goat? Why not?

Here, goatieee, goatieee, GOATIEEEE!

No dice.

The old hag wouldn't budge.

Ohhhhh yeah, two can play at this game.

What if I offered you a HALF eaten apple, then would you come?

NAILED IT.

And of course, I had to video this magical moment outside my school!

Ahhh - only in Dhaka!

And then there was THIS little angle the next day.

To sum UP?

Lauren Hilary Wells would like a goat, ASAP~!

Make it happen SANTA.

Bahhahahah.

Christmas Item #5 - Emergency Purchase Santa, SORRY!

I still have no idea how it happened....

This was my first EVER racket.

We had been thru so much together...

Of course, I kept playing...not a good idea.

The court will be calling my name tomorrow - what choice did I have?

Look at that BIG empty bag...right!?!?!?

Helloooooooooooooooooo!

Santa has 24 hours to make a decision.

Stay tuned.

Christmas Wish List Item # 4

Pretty sure I wouldn't mind having him around this Christmas....

Not just because he is a 

bartender,

great tennis partner,

fantastic listener....cuz it's my little brother.

Yup.

I just said that, I want my little brother to come and visit me 

for Christmas.

True story.

Hah!

My Christmas Wish List Item #3

I can't remember the last time I had an advent calendar...

Maybe 4 - 5 years ago?

And perhaps with a lack of chocolate in the world, it's a good thing that I 

am not stuffing my face every day....

Sigh*

However,

I still wouldn't mind a small chocolate bell....Mary would have wanted that.

Double Sigh*
