Happy Happy Happy...

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to me and New Year to Y'all...

Can you believe that its already a new year? 2007 no less.... i think as we get older, time just seems to plummet along at a rate of knots... i can't ever remember days going quickly, months zooming by when i was younger... it makes one sit back on a day like to day... and think... where did it all go... why didn't i do this or that... Makes me feel so very wasteful of my life, the opportunities set before me and the time that i have friverously let slip through my fingers..

Don't get me wrong.. i try and do as much as i can with every single day though sometimes.. i just wonder if i could have some how done more.. but that again, may just be the perfectionist in me... the part of me that always whispers in my ear "is that really enough...? I guess friverlous is too strong a word for my justification of things.. but... i can't think of a better word for it...

Though.. if someone was to ask me if i were to be able to turn back the clock would i... so that i could do things different would i say yes? NO! Not at all... i seriously don't think i'd change too much..

Anyway... onto the brighter thoughts of today...

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! YAY!

Downside... i feel so old today... even though in merely 33 i had the roughest night last night... honest to god i though by 4am this morning i was having a heart attack... i was in a lot of pain... was sleep deprived... all in the cruel humour of air caught under my diaphragm.. can you say OUCH!?

Though... ofcourse, i refused to go to the hospital... (don't frown Lyn, i know you ARE frowning)... who wants to be in hospital on their birthday!?! The kids had planned an outing for me... and i was NOT going to spoil it for them... even though it was my day.. (true mummy words.. huh!?!)

So... even though id had 1.5 hours sleep all night, we all piled into the car with sunscreen, towels and swimmers and headed down the coast ... i've always wanted to get onto the great ocean drive and just go... and today.. we did!
While we didnt get too far along the road today, we went far enough... we got to torquay and Bells beach, two other places that i've always wanted to go... even though i didnt get to touch the sand at Bells i saw the waves... which was plenty...
The rain which had held off started before we were half way along the path to the sand so we decided to turn back since we were having a birthday dinner with friends...

I thoroughly enjoyed my day and got totally spoilt...

Happy birthday Me... and heres to a year of firsts... definately no lasts... and lots and lots of fun!!
