*arms open to catch the girl running at me … to return just as big a hug*
Hiya gorgeous one 🙂
(insert profuse apologies here for not writing before now…. I warned you I was atrocious….)
I’ve missed you so much, think of you daily (at least!), and have Mark planning a bank heist so he can pay for me to fly over to Japan….. can you tell you made a major impression on us? *wry smile*
But seeing as you are now planning a visit back to Oz, let me know when, so I can plan a trip to Melbourne to coincide… That way I may be able to grab a minute or two with you in what will be a very busy schedule 😉 *bouncing now I don’t have to wait 2yrs to see you!!!*
Love’n’hugs (lots of ’em!)
Nikkicat xxxxxxxx
ps: Thankyouthankyouthankyou for the figurines … they are prominently displayed in our cabinet (and remind me of you every time I look at them). Mark also loved for the “sumo” postcard 😉
*much hugs and bouncing around* After a crap day, this was just what I needed to come home to…gorgeous gal wrapping her arms around me and telling me of planned bank heist. Yay!!!
Dunno yet when I’ll be coming home..all depends on what date those who have enticed me over choose to wed! If pos I will come for two weeks…I have spring vacation sometime around then so if dates match I could stay for my hols. If not, I imagine about a week. I would aim to get to Melb five to seven days prior to wedding for settling in, dress fitting/finding and catching up with people’s. How would you guys feel about a possible roadtrip!! Will be driving up one day to see my dad, prob a day trip which will mean approx 7 hours of driving…would allow for lots catch-up time!!!
Hugs n love to you and Mark. Miss you both. See you soon! (ish)
ps. Are u on my mailing list? If not, e-mail me and I’ll remedy that…
Sorry to hear you had a bad day – but really glad I could cheer you up 🙂 Wish I could be there in person to give you those hugs!!!
As for being “stuck” in a car with you for 7hrs or so….hmm…. now let me think…. OF COURSE I’LL DO IT!!!! The hardest thing will be stopping myself from distracting you while you’re driving *cheeky grin* (Seriously though, I can share the driving load with you, if you want). Anyway, let me know when you have firmer dates.
Look forward to seeing you (quite a bit sooner than originally expected)
love, hugs, scratches, purrs & mriaouw’s 🙂
Nikki (& Mark)
ps: yes, I’m on the mailing list (I only missed #1 I think) so I’m fairly up to date with your busy schedule 😉
pps: we now have “kids” … well 2 kittens actually – we got them on the day you flew out …. (I needed something to cheer me up / distract me… ) I’ll send photos later (or put them in my lj picture options)
(ppps Renee & Nigel: if you’re reading this… THANK YOU!!!)
Trust me, when I have dates, it will be written in the sky in flames. Excited much?!?! *exhibiting much restraint in not dancing around the staffroom*
Glad to hear the figurines made it…I thought the ninja doll was perfect, traditional Japanese with a twist 😉
You think you’ll have a hard time not distracting me on the drive..well that goes both ways, mischief!!! Maybe I should hire a van instead of a car *wink*
And as for mailing list, I think everyone missed #1 – never quite figured out where it went, but go it did, into the ether somewhere far away from the many addresses it was meant to reach.
Oh, how was con? Was so wishing I could’ve been there…after the last one you dragged me into *fully kicking and screaming the whole way…not* I am eagerly looking forward to more…just another two years to go!!
loves to you *mmmwah!*
okay – so i’m really behind on lj but amber with the mailing list – log on to the admin website and it should be archiving the list so all posts will be saved – if not you can set it to archive the list – which it really should be doing. i’d log on and do it myself but i’d have to remember the admin passwd 🙂
Its good to see you like the kitty icon 🙂 I dont think i’ve seen you use it before – did i mention i visited ophelia?
hugs and you are welcome nikkicat 🙂 now you just have to post. and cute icon – i said i’ll make you one – just need to find something purrfect first.
Oh, it is archiving…I have actually checked. No, update #1 went the same way as the toga party update…POOF! Unexplained computer phenomena. I suspect most likely incorrect addressing on my part, but that doesn’t explain the lack of saving to my sent folder. Dunno…I sent, computer said it was sent successfully and thereafter was never heard of again…just one of those things that reminds me to backup, backup, backup.
Oh and once I get my own plaything then I will be asking you re:putting photos up so I don’t have to annoy you (not that i’ve been doing that much, I know). Once I have new plaything with full colour optins, will start playing with lj setup…everyone elses look so funky but half are unreadable on my home pc, so sticking to readable until new laptop. Within the next two months..promise to self!!!
With you current computer problems – i suspect its just simply lack of correct video card drivers – bear is happy to attempt to talk you through the installation of such over the phone one day?
Thanks. I’ve had Tuck try and talk me through…figured out it was simply that video cards not installed properly, or something like that. Anyway the whole help over the phone things is vastly handicapped by my pc being in Japanese, me not familiar with versions beyond 3.1, and me not being able to read the Japanese adequately. Have now met another JET who is both computer wiz and reads Japanese so am going to ask him for help. Still, heart set on laptop..heck it’s been on my wishlist for a good 6 years now and I will need one when I get back..well…maybe not technically a laptop, but I want one! *determined face*
Sprung! 🙂
