Happy b-day Eva… once every four years… “leap” year, the guy said yesterday, is really a dumb expression, because it really is an extra day between you and spring, so it should be called “restrain” year! Well, spring sure seems to be here so I’m not complaining about the extra day especially since I am a bit overwhelmed with my work. Yesterday evening, I ate dinner outside for the first time this year, with a good friend, and it was wonderful!! I still had my coat on, and as soon as the sun went down it became a bit chilly again, but oh, how good it was to feel warmth and light on me again!!! I also saw a few people on a canoe going down the Wabash, for the first time ever! It was so cute I almost had an accident watching them! It’s hard to believe that Europe is currently experiencing an unusually bad winter! That’s only fair, though, because a few weeks ago we were under the snow up to our chin and my family was telling me about the warm weather and the flowers that were already coming out in France and Switzerland… hehe… now it’s our turn!

I just talked to the man of my life, the big love of my heart… he makes me laugh… I don’t miss him anymore the way I did when we separated, but every time we chat on MSN I feel my heart go all happy again :)

That’s it, I’m submitting my “article” for publication to TESOL Quarterly! Wow, that’s a BIG step and if I am published there, well, let’s just say that my self-esteem might just go up a few inches… or miles…
