Soo...BF has this cousin who recently put up a message on my FB page about "Congratulations on your little miracle".
All I could think off was - "Huh, lil miracle"? Bump wasn't conceived via IVF - it was/is all natural! What do you mean lil miracle?
I replied as such too - and she hasn't responded back .. the cheek of her..
The last thing I want ppl to think was that we were reproductively challenged. I mean, just because you got married and got knocked up in your early twenties doesn't mean we all want kids! I am happy we have Bump but in the meantime, don't assume and put us in a basket that anyone in their 30's cannot conceive without help.
Rant over.

Reminiscing the years
When I first started blogging a fair few years ago, I wanted to use it as a diary of sorts. After all, I was fresh of the plane living in another country far away from family and friends.
It was an adventure - a fresh start even as the move coincided very closely with a breakdown of a 3 1/2 yr relationship so to be honest, it allowed to me not to mull over the loss.
Years have past now, my initial 4 yr stint now looks like it will be a permanent thing. I have moved cities, been promoted, taken on new responsibilities, I bought a house, sold a house, met a wonderful guy who asked me to be his forever after (which I accepted and it has been 2 1/2 yrs being a Mrs) and now we are building a home - all this in 8 yrs.
How time flies.
But I digress. I've summarized my 8 yrs above but I have not really jotted it all down, this journey of mine. I have actually shut down a blog before. Perhaps it is time to be more active or even start doing random snippets more often. Perhaps, mayhaps.

My perfect Sunday
A good Sunday does not have to be filled with activities and drama.
A good Sunday could simply be berry picking followed by brunch and Sunday papers.
*ah bliss*
Forgot to take my camera so pics taken with my camera phone.

Flowers from my garden
The beautiful thing about having your own garden is that you have your own lil haven of flowers.
When we bought this place we now called home, it already came with several rose bushes and the past 2 springs, they have been abundant with buds and flowers. I've always liked having flowers in the house as well and rather than spending $12 - $25 for 1/2 dozen roses, I've been cutting off some droopy stems from the bushes and putting them around the house.
Result - A happy lil me
Snap of the rose trellis at the back of the house 645am.

Social calendar updates - BF's bday celeb November 2010
As always, things have gone a bit slack with the updates as weekends are filled with social activities as we hit the silly season - it is less work, more play now baby!!
It was BF's bday on Sat - milestone of a day, hitting the mid-XX's and all, so it was decided that we take him out for a nice meal and some. Now do tell me, which man can resist getting his teeth into a big chunk of meat?
The place - Squire's Loft, Docklands
The ppl - Usual suspects
The usual suspects
My main meal - Lamb Scotch Fillet (300g) grilled served with hot chips and black pepper sauce 
The starter - Ribs, Beef Sausage, prawns and Garlic feta Mushrooms
The polished off dish of garlic feta mushrooms
Bday cake - Chocolate mudcake!

Lil things that make me go tra la la..
I know I am getting sappy but I would never have thought that I would be as happy as I am now.
Dont get me wrong, work is just as stressful. At this point 4 yrs ago, I would be getting ready to go out, putting on the face as finding something "nice" to wear. If a nice bloke came over for a chat, it would be entertained and if he decided to shout me a drink or two - hey, bonus!
Now - I have my feet up on the sofa and am watching a recorded program off the telly. BF just walked in with a mug of coffee to be had with the cheese and biscuits platter.
Ah - how one's life can change in a mere few yrs :).

Bride thoughts
Seeing that I have less than a month left - hmmm.... I think if I was to have a Bridezilla moment - it would have happened a long time ago.
As of yet - no dramas yet! (my parents aka the wedding planners would beg to differ however)

1 month, 1 week from the beginning of the next step in life.
Was watching a rerun of Nottinghill on Foxtel on telly earlier this morning and you know that scene where Anna and William scale over the gate and walk down a locked up park and there is this park bench that had the inscription
"To June who loved this garden, from Joseph who always sat beside her"
Well, I found myself tearing!
God, I am turning so sappy. Maybe its because I am going to get hitched.
Despite my initial hesitations when we first started going out, (past rships had left its mark and I was truly a cynic when it comes to anything to do with l.o.v.e) - I am now well and truly committed into this rship especially seeing that next month is when we get married!
Yes, it is for keeps. 1 of the reasons why I let it off this late was because I never actually met anyone that I could see myself with for the rest of my life. Despite living here for several yrs, I still do not believe in divorces - once you get married, its for life. I still don't believe in having a soul-mate for everyone but I do believe that when you meet someone and you know, you simply do.

Writers Blues
It has been a bit of a struggle of late. I have things on my mind that I want to put to blog, but on the otherhand, I do not know whether I really want to make it all that public.
Don't get me wrong - everything is still well and fine but it all boils down to finding time to actually sit down and type it up. Furthermore, when I do sit down and decide to get to it - its more like a thought of the moment and I have forgotten what I wanted to write about! Lol.

Fat - or flab?
Well - with 4 months or so left till D-Day - the pressure is on to start exercising to look freaking good for the wedding and the subsequent pictures that comes as part of the day.
After all - *shock horrors* - one CANNOT look ugly and heaven forbid gain WEIGHT before the day can we? What would ppl say?
Let me say that exercise and I are like oil to water - we simply do not mesh! Not these days anyways - I am just too simply knackered by time I get home to even worry about changing and rushing to the gym.
Gee whiz.
