How to be inordinately happy...

OK, so Viola and I finally went and found the mall this evening. I don't know why I'm so delighted...but I am. I even bought this really cute jacket at H&M - see, in Europe, H&M has a line that is called BiB (Big is Beautiful). These are clothes that are cut to fit more than a stick figure. I'm just a wee bit over (or think I should wear a bit over - I can squeeze, but it's a really bad, bad thing) most sizes in "average" stores. So, I need to shop around a bit to find clothes that fit me properly. Imagine my delight finding such a store so close to my house. Viola found a dress that looks astounding on her.

I've managed to astound and (I hope) delight my supervisor. I thought that Access was fairly common, but no one ever built a database to house the information from this fairly extensive survey (actually surveys plural - there were 2 of them) pertaining to implementation of the New York Convention pertaining to arbitral awards. I threw one together somewhat quick & dirty this morning, and was met with great success! I've been given leave to continue foraging ahead with it and my supervisor asked if I was going to be in the States in February - she offered to put me on the list for the 50th Anniversary of the Convention in New York. I'm thinkin' I'm going to go! My report and database will be presented as a current status and it would be so lovely to see my work come to fruition. Viola invited me to stay with her and I might just take her up on it. Like as not she'll be attending too - it will be like a reunion!

Next week - having a wine party at my place on Tuesday night (of all nights). Should be fun!
