Here we are again another year, they are passing so quickly.. I have bveen really bad about keeping this blog up to date and yet I write in my "hard copy journal" every day.
Ok So quick update on Us.
The Bloke is working and keeping himself busy, will it ever end? At this stage no!
I have made four New Years resolutions because my one of last year was so successful that I'm upping the ante!
1- look after "ME" mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually... whatever it takes let's do it.
2- Read more pages than last year. ok let me back track a little and explain that- in Jan 2007 I started an excll spread sheet and on that I keep track of dates, Book titles, Authors, number of pages and a rating of 1-10 and then "what next"? Which is where I write what I do with that book, so in there you'll see "donated to the caravan library" or "passed onto ...." or "Sold on ebay!" So anyways I read 29,528 pages, I know this because each month I do a sub total and at the end of the year I do a total. My goal is to "read a million pages" on of many tasks I have on http://www.43things.com/person/ladyofshallots.com/person/ladyofshallot Last year I was studying and so I read less pages than I normally would read.
3- Keep current on my correspondance- emails, letters, greeting and postcards etc.
4- Work on my bucket list, which you'll find on my 43 things site. http://www.43things.com/things/view/1866962/create-my-bucket-list
So all in all I've got very do-able goals.
So far this year I've had one "Date day/night" with the Bloke.. Jan was his month and he took me to see the movie "Sherlock Holmes" and we had lunch.
The idea with "date day/night" is to go out once a month, no kids and have a date, preferably to try new things that we've not done, but when you have this many kids you take any chance to escape when it's offered and this particular day they were at the Pool so we had some spare time. We alternate months and try and out do each other or not.. I like to try and do things we've not done, so this year I'm going to try and work some of my Bucket list into Date day/night- sneaky huh?!?!
"Billy-the-skid" has finally learnt to ride and bike and so in November he become the proud owner of a new Mongoose BMX bike, and he's hardly been off it since, so The Bloke and I were forced to start riding bikes, I've not ridden a bike since B-T-Skid was a little boy in a bike seat on the back of the Bloke's bike. So there were a few days of pain to go thru but since then we've had lots of fun.
Over Christmas we took all our ikes down to St Leonards to our on-site carvan and left them down there, we hardly drove the car at all, so it's all good for the environment as well as helping us loose some excess weight, Oh and that was one of The Bloke's New Year Resolutions "Get Fit" and "Get his teeth fixed" so now he's committed because I've written them down!!
But because we have a smaller car "Jennifer" our Volkswagen Jetta, we can't carry the bikes around without some juggling and so we decided to leave those bikes down there and we all got other bikes, B-T-Skid was given a BMX and so that is down there and he brought the new Mongoose home and The Bloke and I just became proud owners of new "Appollo" brand bikes, I've got the "must have" accessory a basket!! and now we're able to ride all over town so look out Sunbury-ites!
