Another pic
Me and my brother here...I was about 19...going through my nothing but jeans and lumber jack shirts and a don't mess with me attitude. Unless I was hanging upside down of course!
Memories of my youth
Hello all!
I've been sorting through some old photoes of when I was younger...I honestly don't think i've changed that much. But i'm glad i've found them! It's nice to look back and realise that contrary to what I thought I was a good looking girl. Now when I reach a ripe old age I know I can look back and see the me of yesteryear!
Below, I have added a couple so you can see what I mean...you'll have to let me know if I've changed a huge amount!
February's news
Well it's nearly half way through Febuary and a variety of things have happened. I've left the airport...which my friends at the airport know...to some extent. But there are a few that are slow on the uptake that are still asking my brother where I am. Well that's what you get people if you don't get things done straight away...you dawdle and then wonder where I've gone!
So I have been given a position in the London Offices of Rosetta Stone...Woo Hoo (that's my happy sound) which is like having about three promotions in one as far as i'm concerned. I'm just hoping that I do as well as I can and make them proud of me....yes I know that sounds really sappy but at the moment i'm stuck between feeling really peppy and scared stiff.
For this month I have alternated between the two states....started a new class at the gym to work of the excess energy that being off work for three weeks has given me. I'm doing what amounts to martial arts to music....it's called body combat but I think now that i'd never be able to throw a punch unless I happen to have really loud music in the background to time myself to. I can just imagine trying to fight and hum at the same time to keep the pace going!
I've been doing a lot of shopping for what you could term office wear....tailored skirts, blouses, court shoes and trousers. I'm trying to keep to a sort of 1940's, 50's feel. Pinched in waists, pencil skirts and a couple of thigh high slits to show a bit of leg. I'm thinking Mad Men era. It suits me and I don't have to look to much like I work in a bank or something, so i'm happy with it!!
So my days lately have been sorting things out at home and getting new things bought and done and clearing out different cupboards and drawers and boy does my life sound boring!! I've really got to get away and Just Do Something!!!

Pains of the head
Hey people
Well the last couple of days have been a right pain....literally!
I've had what I can only assume is a migraine of epic proportions for the last two days, and even today I get the odd shooting pain going around my forehead, temples, around the back and down my neck. Now that is not normal for me. I've been popping co-drydamol and paracetamols and neither have made much of an impact.
I'm just waiting for it to fade away now because I have no intention of living through the benefits of chemical intervention....it's not my way.
I'll be back on later in the week when I can stand to gaze at the computer screen a bit longer. See you all then.

A very odd day.....
Hey all,
Today has been quite strange. Actually it's strange that for the past couple of weeks my days have been strange....What's with that??
So scrolling through the news has been enlightening: A fox in Belarus shoots hunter!
Yes you did all read that right. Apparently said fox resisted violently (well wouldn't you?!) and his paw slipped into the trigger area and actually set off the gun. The hunter is apparently in hospital due to his injuries. What happened to the fox isn't mentioned but really, that's Karma for you. I love it!!
Hmm, what else? Oh a man in Italy accidentally got shot in the head. Went through his temple, behind his eye socked and got lodged in his nasal cavity. He lived, got taken into hospital where upon two hours later he SNEEZED it out. When asked how he felt by the doctors he said baring a strong headache he felt fine and was sent home. I should think he did have a strong headache. Lucky begger.
Oh and the rest? Floods, floods and more floods....the odd earthquake, threat of tsunami by the doom Sayers and a multitude of deaths. Obama in America is poetically talking about "puddles of rain in heaven" about that poor nine year old girl that was killed. He'd be better off if he stopped eulogising and did something about gun control and teens with mental issues. I mean the army rejected him twice!! If he's screwed up enough that they don't want him carrying a gun into a war zone then he really shouldn't be allowed to buy one in his home town!
They've really got to consider sterilisation as an option.
Oh and the royal family (primarily Charles) is sympathizing with the Australians. Because that's all right then, "My house is gone, my family might be swept away and dead and everything I own is covered in tonnes of mud and water, but as long as Charles sends me his best wishes....all's well with the world!
So as you can see I'm hovering between ambivalence and Hysteria. And I'm not sure I care which wins.
Signing off for the day.

Bucket List
In the event that I live long enough there are things I would like to do before I die. Everyone should have a bucket list and at least attempt to achieve some of the things they want to do.
"Every man dies - not every man really lives"
"The only people who fear death are those with regrets"
by William Ross.
Now I don't know about you lot but I don't want to die with regrets.
So here they are, my slightly long bucket list.....and that might not be all. I reserve the right to add to it when I want to. (Oh and in no particular order)
* Attend one major sporting event - like the Olympics
* Joint skydive
* Skinny dipping at midnight (somewhere exotic)
* Make love on a forest floor (minus the pine needles)
* Own a room with a view (not the film, already have that)
* Buy an around the world ticket and a rucksack and run away
* Send a message in a bottle
* Fall helplessly in love
* Tell someone that I love them and mean it
* Shower in a waterfall
* Sleep under the stars
* Extreme camping (somewhere inhospitable but lovely)
* Rio for carnival
* Buy my own house
* Dive the barrier reefs
* Attend one big rock concert
* Look into my child's eyes and smile
* Climb Mt McKinley
* Ride on the Orient Express
* Make love on a train (see above. i'm not talking the daily commute)
* Visit the northern lights
* A drive in movie
* Get a tattoo
* Learn to ride a horse
* Visit Las Vegas
* Read the Iliad (and remember it this time)
* Visit death valley
* Go on Safari (without shooting anything)
* Hike in a rain forest
* A canopy tour- see above
* Be arrested and ride in the back of a police car
* Be kissed in the rain.
Like I said these might get crossed of or adapted as and when...................
