Good stuff

estepheiaA friend gave me a bunch of roses yesterday.
My ex-lecturer asked me to deliver a half-hour lecture in one of his seminars this July. The topic: modern technology and its impact on literature (or something like that) - he wants me to talk about the fanfiction phenomenon. Whoheee. He didn't actually mention pay or anything, but I'm very flattered by the request. Yay.
I got paid today (for teaching and stuff.)
My auntie not just treated us to a fabulous meal yesterday, but she's also treating us to steaks and asparagus tomorrow. Double yay. She also bought several nice potted plants for the garden (she has a thing for gardens).
I weeded and mowed the lawn, ergo the garden looks better than that of the annoying landlady next door (I mentioned her in previous posts). *shadowboxes* Hah, take that! (the sore back and legs are a small price to pay) Also finally stored all the tons of folded laundry in the wardrobes, where they belong.
Was the perfect mom today: treated the kids and a friend they'd invited to good food, and later a picnic. And we watched The Princess Bride with them - which they absolutely loved. Toyah also told me that she "true loves" me and kissed me madly. Awwww.
Had two blueberry muffins. Yum.
Watched Veronica Mars 1.20. Oh the angst! And I watched Was tun Wenn's Brennt? (What to Do in Case of Fire) - one of my favourite German movies about a handful of small fry anarchists who build a bomb in the late eighties that only goes off 12 years later, when most of them already in much more respectable circumstances. A friendshippy movie with a wonderful Til Schweiger.
Only three Friendship Ficathon dropouts so far, and about half a dozen delays. That's not too bad.
Bad stuff? None that I can think of, other than my dad's bad health. But that's outside my power anyway. Now if only there were some Spethan porn, my day would be perfect. In absense of that I think I'll turn in. Toodles. *waves*

If the kids behave, that is. They are not terribly good when they get dragged through town for a round of window shopping. Maybe a trip to the toy store will appease them. :-)
