Mos Nicolae or the return of the meme
Zu has tagged with the making of a list for Saint Nicholas’ Day, which is on Dec 6th. Saint Nicholas is celebrated here as an anticipation for Christmas, with kiddies all around the country shining their boots and putting them in the window for Nicholas to bring them gifts. The bad kids are supposed to get a stick instead of the presents. I have yet to see a kid that got one of those, though.
Anyway, here’s the list of things that I want from Mos Nicolae for 2007:
-A second baby, at least as gorgeous in every way as Timi is.
-Health for us and our loved ones
-To get a new and better paying job along with / instead of the one at the hospital
-For Timi to learn to speak well both Romanian and Hungarian in the next few months, and to be able to meet the kindergarten germs without getting sick
-To be able to pay the loan for the car entirely.
I’m tagging Romerican, Deea, Andy and Mirona (I tried to choose only people living in Romania this time, what with the national day of Ro and all, but any non-Romanian that feels like being tagged with the list … please, go ahead)
Mission accomplished, ma’am.
