Yesterday….

Was my birthday.  Ahh – hit you up straight out with some bad grammar.  Welcome to today!  Yesterday didn’t quite go as planned. There were no cupcakes, no hotsprings and no chocolate melty things.  Instead, there was a glorious morning, and the inclination to go running.  So i did.  A gorgeous 8km of head-clearing, heart pumping, check out the beautiful sea running.  I LOVED it.  Fat Hervey (dog) loved it too – although he did start to lag when  upeed the ace in the 6th km!).  Then I wet to the gym and did a powerbar class (similar to pump).  I picked up the littlest M’s and whipped down to the local super expensive gourmety shop and bought the LOVELIEST hunk of smoked salmon fillet and some sppinach to make a super yumbo salad.  Ah – heaven in a bowl.  The it was nap time for the girls, and after nap – Mackenzie had to go for her heart check-up with her cardiologist.  All is going well – still much the same.  Waiting for her to grow, and see how her heart develops.  All is good.  Home for delicious soup and off to karate with Madison.  I was the VERY lucky reipient of a gorgeous bunch/box of flowers from my darling Wilbur, some roes from my girls AND a set of these, from the wonderfully fabulous buddy Nancy (she knows how to make me giggle with delight!).  then there were the wonderful emails, messages and phone calls.  Lovely. A wonderful way to turn 35.

I have a new set of things to accomplish before I am 40.  Nothing too major – but here they are.  Snowboard in New Zealand, learn to kitesurf, become a proficient surfer, complete a half-marathon, AND a full marathon.  See – no career goals there at all.  Oh – actually – yes – I will be THE photographer for the Southern Mornington Peninsula.  Katie - you can have your end!!!!!!!

So – today is a day of not moving – my butt is sore from yesterdays frivolity!  Actually – the best way to get rid of soreness is to get out there and do it all again – so I will.  Not the run – but I ill do a spin class.  tat’s fix my backside up and show it who’s the boss around here!

Apparently two spoons are needed to correctly lick the bowl!

I LOVE where I live…..

Took the M’s rollerbladng (or rather – only the biggest M actually put blades on) for the first time.  She picked it up really well, and ventured away from the wall a few times.  Go  Madison!  looking forward to taking her again!
