Catching Up.

I am back from my little blogging siesta. The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur as so much was going on. However, things are slowing down so I feel like I can sit down and post without a guilty conscience. I know you are all dying to know what I have been up to the last few weeks so I thought I would enlighten you and give you an update (yes I am being sarcastic - I am going to enlighten you whether you want to know or not).

Brayden had his surgery and it went well. The recovery was rough as he was so ill from the anaesthetic and got very dehydrated but he's a trooper and we got through it.

I also managed to complete a work deadline with a week to spare. Phew! I even finished the taxes for the trust fund I manage a whole month before they are due. I hate having stuff like that hanging over my head. Big sigh of relief. Now let's just hope I did it all correctly!

I also celebrated my 37th birthday (funny when I type 37 it sounds so old, but I still feel so young). The kids surprised me with a hand made card which they hid in my dresser drawer so that I found it when I got up. My husband also completely surprised me at the end of the day (before he took me out to dinner) with a lovely new pair of shoes. I was completely stunned and elated. You see this is completely out of character for him. We have been together for 20 years and he has never bought me shoes. It's not actually the fact that he bought me a cool pair of shoes that fit that pleased me so much. What made me so happy was that he made an effort to find a gift that I would truly love and not expect. Thank you!!!

I also saw the movie Juno and was pleasantly surprised. I was not expecting to like it. I thought it was going to be a movie that glorified teen sex and teen pregnancy, just like Hollywood seems to be doing lately. That was not the case. I wont spoil it for you. You will have to see it for yourself to see what you think.

Last but not least I decided to get my hair chopped off. I do that every so often as I get tired of constantly wearing my long hair in a ponytail. I decided to get something a bit more sophisticated. It feels so great having short hair but I tell ya it's a lot more work trying to tame the curl/frizz when it's short.

The weather here has been absolutely glorious. T-shirt, sunburn kind of glorious. Well at least for my pale Irish Skin it's sunburn weather. Can you see it on my cheeks and nose??? It's been so warm out that my tulips and daffodils are starting to come out in the garden. I am hoping the warm sunny weather will carry on into the weekend.

I hope you are all doing well. I hope to catch up on all my favourite blogs this weekend. I have missed you gals! Have a wonderful weekend.
