I am cheating on my husband ...

when I'm home alone!!!

There I got your attention for sure! :)

I am, but the thing I'm sneaking to do when I' m home alone in January and February is to listen to vintage Christmas music! I miss it SO much! I can't help it - I simply have to have more of those romantic tunes from Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Bing Crossby, Doris Day, etc. etc. And if I finally got caught I'm sure dear husband would grin broadly and shake his head. He knows I'm Christmas Crazy.

I have lots of vintage Christmas music, both on modern CD's and also on vintage vinyl, here is a lovely LP with Santa's face all over. The music is Bing Crosby but the record is so scratched that it can hardly play. I just use it for decoration.

My New Library

I have invested some of my bonus in an e-book reader:
Nope, not a Kindle. This was inexpensive and according to the technical specifications it can what I need. I have wanted an e-book reader for long, but they have been too expensive and I also had to have some extra money to spend. I LOVE books so it will never replace my real library, but it is a great alternative. Especially when reading so many English books as I do, and I also have lots of old classics to look forward to – they are often free due to their age.

It has 4 Gb internal memory which is about 4,000 books – so I think that’ll do for a couple of days.

Valentine’s Day

Is not something we celebrate at our house. Son and I introduced Halloween in 2001, because we needed some decorations and cosiness during Autumn. We had a great time each evening for a week making a lot of home made decorations. Many Danes think we are silly – they think it is very American. That’s how I feel about Valentine’s Day – if you love somebody you should tell them every day, not only on 14 February.

Monday, DH came home with a bag full of Valentine’s gifts for me:
He had visited the local “dollar store”, because he knows I love MANY gifts.

I got (from left): a box full of bathing goodies with a lovely old fashioned rose scent, nice socks with glittering stars, a red heart shaped alarm clock, a snow globe in which I was told to put a photo of him, love tape (I’ve never seen such before), and kiss magnets for the fridge.

I think I will reconsider introducing Valentine’s Day! :)
