Be right back!

Hello! I hope you're well!
Thanks for all your lovely birthday greetings. :) It cheered me up. I know I have the coolest pen pal ever.

I had one hell of a birthday week, and we even got to travel a little bit in the South Island. It will be the closest I will ever get to Antarctica! (Unless, I have the luxury of one day visiting Stewart Island.)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Eat a tofurky for me. Our friends will be gathering for our annual Thanksgiving-on-a-Saturday feast.

I'll be back with lots to blog about.
Thanks for reading this blog. <3

It's my birthday! (In one hour)

Welllllllll, I'm part of the new decade club. I'll acknowledge it, but from now on...I won't tell people my age anymore :)


Here I am dressed up as Sailor Moon with teddy bear Batman :) just before Armageddon Expo about two weekends ago...kinda similar to Comic Con in the US! I didn't get to celebrate Halloween this year, so this was my little bit. I'm still young at heart.

I read this blog entry a few months ago, and it helped me become NOT as terrified of getting older. I HIGHLY recommend reading it for those of you who might be bummed out about birthdays. I need to adopt her attitude.

More thoughts and milestones on this birthday:
I still listen to and love the same albums I loved when I was 18.
I have paid off 75% of my university loans. YEAAAAAAAAH!!!
I can't believe I'm still friends with my dears from LNC & MOC :P
I am married.
In XXX years of existence, I have travelled to 29/50 States.
Visited Canada, Mexico, Spain, Fiji, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand
I have always considered time with family and friends to be extremely precious and value this more than ever before.
Life is too short, and I'm beginning to see this. This is why I fear getting older. I must absorb each day, take in and appreciate every minute we are here and make it count for something good.

I already know this year will be a HUGE year for my husband and me. I'm looking forward to it. Even if we plateau or fall, there will eventually be nowhere else to go but up! :)

Much Love Monday: November 14, 2011

Happy Monday! Starting the week off on a positive note, here are my Monday favourites...

I saw "Drive" this weekend and was very pleased with the movie and Ryan Gosling's character. (I won't spoil the movie for you.)

& Blair Waldorf will always be my style inspiration. LOVE THIS!

Last weekend of this "Age Bracket"

Hi hi, hope you enjoyed your weekend.

In a few days, I'll be entering a whole new age bracket! Funny how it feels like my teens weren't that long ago, but while at the movie theatre this weekend...I winced when I was surrounded my loud mobs of teens. I suppose, I am getting old!

On Friday, I had a few glasses of wine at work with my colleagues. I went to sleep so early while reading a graphic novel/comic book my amazing pen pal L gave me. :)

On Saturday, we cooked breakfast for our friend visiting from Wellington, had lunch with our neighbours M&J, attempted to go shopping but went window shopping instead, we watched The New Girl, and then went to the movies to see "Drive!" Oh be still those Ryan Gosling hearts :)

I took a photo with Noisy Boy from Real Steal! We didn't see Atom anywhere, but maybe he's around there somewhere.


Today I did some chore work and ran some errands. We watched the pilot episode of "Pan Am" and enjoyed the rest of my lazy Sunday. After this week, I'm looking forward to my nice long weekend. I'll have lots to write about after next weekend!
