I am officially 32 and at this juncture in my life, things are pretty good so I am grateful for all of life's blessings.
I have 2 lovely daughters and a cheeky niece who provide constant entertainment, been married for 7 years and so far no itch yet, work is ok (it pays for the shopping and can be quite flexible so I really shouldn't complain), I have a roof over my head (in a central location too!), the extended family are well, I fit into my old skinny clothes...all that's missing are more holidays!
I am itching to travel but Nick won't go anywhere this year and it's hard to get up and go off on a whim with 2 bubbas to think about so I just have to be patient. I've compiled a list of unexplored places I have to go at some point in my life but I don't want to be a senior citizen by the time I get to them! They are (in no particular order):
1. Italy (Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Capri, Sorrento, Venice)
2. Spain (Madrid and Barcelona)
3. Provence in France (to see fields of lavender)
4. Hokkaido (never been big on Japan but Hokkaido is appealing)
5. Bora-bora (Paradise on earth!)
6. Melbourne/Sydney (to see where Nick studied, 12 Apostles etc)
7. Scotland (Went through a tartan phase once!)
8. Holland (to see the tulips in season)
9. California / Nevada (Hollywood, San Fransisco, LA, Vegas, Grand Canyons etc)
10. Alaska or Scandinavia (to see the Northern Lights)
There's lots more places of course i.e. would love to go London, Paris, New York, Maldives and Santorini again but we're not printing money! Maybe my birthday wish should have been to strike TOTO instead of just a night of 8hrs uninterrupted sleep!
Was on leave today, I try not to work on my birthdays. Woke up to Sasha's gummy grin and Nat singing me 'Happy Birthday'. She gave me a big kiss and hug too, awwww.
Brought Nat to gym, Swana was on leave as well, and Mummy and Aunty Sarda tagged along so we all had lunch at Bakerzin after. In the afternoon, I brought Sasha for the second dose of her 5-in-1 jab. Naturally she threw a fit when the nurse jabbed her!
Dinner at home was Aunty Sarda's treat, she won some money on 4D thanks to a number provided by Lita and ordered Banana Leaf Apollo - Nick was a happy man!
I had requested a strawberry shortcake from Bakerzin, that was yums. Nat and Gigi helped me blow out the candles.
Nat is a budding photographer, she prefers to be behind the camera instead of in front and will proudly show off her shots. These are ones she took, not bad for a 2 year old huh?
