Celebrate the Small Things - 6 SEPTEMBER edition

Greetings all and how are we in September? What are you celebrating this fine week?

Celebrate The Small Things is simple: sign up on the linky, find something to celebrate, and hop around and celebrate with others.

It is September, and the children return to school and people return from summer holiday. So what are you celebrating?

I'm celebrating that I haven't taken my week off yet, so in a month or so when everybody's forgotten their holiday I'll still have mine!

I had a fun day with my nieces, as I said last week - ahh I do love the cries of 'Auntie Vikki.' :)

I am working this weekend, so I'll hop and visit people on Monday  ;)

What are you celebrating?

Here's the linky:

  1. Glad you had fun with your nieces and I bet you'll pick the perfect time to use that one week holiday.

  2. Nieces and nephews are wonderful! I got the best compliment ever from my nephew once. My niece (the older one) was about 4 years old and was meeting me for the first time. I came into my parents' house, started toward the living room, and heard Rick (nephew) whispering to Tracey (niece) "That's Aunt Diana - she's really Cool!!!" How can you beat that?

    And how nice to have a saved-up week to take when you wish! cheers!

  15. I don't have school-age children, so term-time doesn't mean much to me. However, there is still something about September that makes it feel more like a new year than January does. Perhaps it's because there is such a definite turn in the seasons, while in January we are in the middle of winter.

  17. Glad you have a great vacation week to look forward to.

    As you know, vacations are 'holy' in Europe. All the years I have worked in the States, I always insisted on three weeks starting with year one...and you know what? I usually got them. The CEO would shrug his shoulders to the vexed personnel director and sigh: "Oh well, she's European." On the other hand, they had me work a lot of overtime (uncompensated, of course).

    So, hurray to dream vacations--and exotic vacation spots, all of which, alas, I have left behind; now, I only travel in my books.

  18. I've just got to tell you how grateful I am for your brilliant "Celebrate The Small Things" idea. Through a comment from one of your subscribers, Kate Larkindale, on my last blog a whole month ago, I managed to squeeze out a "Celebrate" blog on Friday!

  20. I also have not yet taken my vacation this year so in a couple of weeks I'll be celebrating that, too!
    BTW, I'm hosting Yolanda Renee over my blog today so if you get a chance to stop by you could win a free copy of her e-book!

  24. It is great to hear your name being called in such an "ownership" type of way. I love hearing "my auntie". :) I'm sure you'll look forward to using your week vacation when the time comes. Writer’s Mark
