We hired an architect, an interior designer and a general contractor, but I am that person who wants to be sure I understand what is being done and why to the "T" before it is done.
It must be done, but I hate it. House renovation/beautification projects suck.
Oh year, FWP2 - this city girl is moving to a house in the suburbs. With desperate housewives-type streets and minivans. Minivans!!!! | | | | |

So it is Friday and I worked all the possible hours, coming back home and looking forward to having one of my seasalt caramel/cherry/mint chocolate mixes. To find out I ran out of milk.

So. it's the weekend.
This means that all and every EFer will either be in a Spa or on a plane somewhere long or short-term.
It gets a bit lonely here in Zurich sometimes.

It is 6am and I still got no milk, ha.
It is going to be a gorgeous day, who cares for hot chocolate.

Somehow I forgot to eat today. And shopping doesn't seem to be in fashion anymore either. So I wish I had your problem right now.

The recipe for happiness: A)Someone to love, B)something to do, C) something to look forward to.
Sobeit has just been deprived of C) by virtue of having been served the perfect cup of tea, so anticipation of that is now gone. Presumably, C) was served by some form of A) who has now paradoxically reduced Sobeit's level of happiness, which eliminates A) as A).
Cheer up Sobeit, at least you still have EF.

I’m happy - contrary to your thoughts. Maybe the perfect cup of tea wasn’t so perfect.
