Give me an 'A'!

Just booked a trip to Atlanta!

Let the wedding season begin!

Actually, it begins at the start of May in Norfolk ... but I haven't booked the ticket up there yet...

Tuesday Tribute

Friday Fanks fell by the wayside ... and it may be next Christmas before I get around to finishing my blogs about our trip to the states. Yet time forges ahead regardless and I just sit while life happens to me...

The countdown to my birthday continues. Although I don't think there'd actually be a countdown if it weren't for my parents persistance with the vicious rumour that I always create a massive countdown and drag my birthday out as long as possible. Hence the mystery flowers which they found highly amusing. And the pre-birthday card that arrived yesterday. Thus, the newly created tradition of a countdown is formed.

And, though they are on the list more often than not, that's yet another reason why I'm so very thankful for my parents, who love me, guide me and support me while never failing to take advantage of any opportunity to laugh at me.

I worry for their future grandchildren.

Oh Look! Another interruption! ... perhaps I'm losing my mind ...

I may have mentioned earlier, that I will shortly be turning 30. It's not really bothering me, other than that I haven't got around to organising a celebration. But it's over a month away - i figure I have time.

And that's today's issue ... my birthday is over a month away ... so why oh why did I receive flowers at work today? Not just any flowers - birthday flowers. From my parents.

Now, there are a few people who are pretty much guaranteed to remember the anniversary of my birth. Me. My parents. The people at work who listen to me harp on about my birthday day after day. So you can see why I'm slightly confused to be the (very grateful) recipient of a lovely bunch of gerberas today.

The best thing I've got is that at the time they were delivered, in Australia it was 30 days until my 30th birthday.

Anyone else got a clue?!

I interrupt this incessant blogging *cough*

to announce that my parents have gone on holiday for the next month and will be neglecting me unless they're in one of the few and far between spots with mobile reception, or if they can find a payphone at the exact point in time I happen to be sitting next to my home phone.

I know I'm nearly 30 but I'm just a wee bit gutted.
