Well, it is kind of, but I usually hear just the regular "able to laugh at yourself" much more. Keep the English simple and it will be better understood by all, even those without total fluency.
In about 12 hours, we will be settling the Cat in with the in-laws for 2 weeks while we visit the US. Leaving her behind will be hard, but she will be so spoiled. I can't wait to go, and yet I don't want to leave. I am packed but am I really ready? Sadness not just because of leaving the Cat with her second favorite people but I also know this will probably be the last time I see my mother. She turns 93 tomorrow (which is why we are going back to the states). So, a bittersweet visit.
