Things I Know

Yippeee - it's Friday which means it's time to link in with MC from Saturday Morning Ogre Mum and tomorrow it's the weekend - I'm not sure which brings me more pleasure - the linky or the weekend !!!!  (OK I do know but I don't want to upset either MC or the weekend !!!!)

As always, a random list of things that I know :

- I know that next weekend will be even better than this weekend because A is due home on Friday afternoon sometime.

- I know that I have started that count-down.

- I know that, while I have missed A dreadfully, I have enjoyed the one-on-one time K and I have spent together.

- I know that I am glad that she has still gone out with her friends a few time and not felt that she has to stay at home because I am there by myself (funnily enough I am more than capable of being able to amuse myself for a couple of hours when I am all alone, in complete charge of the remote, my books, my crocheting and the bath !!)

- I know that I had a great time with some of my blogging friends on Saturday and I am very grateful for their technical knowledge (because I am only just a little bit better than totally useless) when it comes to anything technical (hence not being able to use the home computer since just after A left because I can't get the keyboard to work !!!).  In the past, I have had a few people ask if I could have an 'E-mail Subscription' for my blog.  I have not been able to do this UNTIL the other night !  Because of the clever ladies there on Saturday - they told me, step by step, how I could add the e-mail widget to my blog - AND I MANAGED TO DO IT !!!  (Yes, it was really easy, yes, most people can probably do it in their sleep but whenever I manage to do anything slightly techie, I am thrilled !!!)

- I know that you can now subscribe to my blog, via e-mail (see on my side bar), should you wish to ensure that you never miss one of my absolutely riveting rambling posts.

- I know that I was surprised at how many people said that they would like/love to be part of Project Brighten Someone's Day and then didn't send me their address.  If you want to be part of it, please send me your physical address as the project is a snail mail project.

- I know (well I think I know) that if the weather doesn't fine up over the next two days, The Color Run may once again be postponed.

- I know that if it goes ahead I am going to be walking the full 5km and be proud of being able to walk that far (sad, but true).

- I know that, even though I am totally nervous about meeting Crashtest Mummy tomorrow night, I will have a great time.

- I know that I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to my kahuna massage on Saturday - after my I Must Confess post on Monday and some of the lovely comments left, I decided to book a massage and, while it may not land up being my perfect day, it will certainly go a long way towards me having a great day !

- I know that I am looking forward to meeting a client's 9 day old baby boy after work today where I can get a chance to cuddle and smell a new born baby and say "Thank goodness it's not mine" and then go home with K and have a peaceful night's sleep !

- I know that, while time seems to be flying by at a rate of knots faster than I can keep up with, this week seems to have dragged something terrible.

- I know that I love my on-line friends - thank you all for being the supportive, encouraging, inspiring and amazing bunch of people that you are - don't change !

- I know that, while I keep complaining about how fast time is flying by, I can't wait for July to come as my new Personal Planner arrived today - it is sooooooooo cute and I can't wait to start using it.

- I know that, while I don't give a rat's butt about stats, I am just amazed at how many people are visiting my blog - thanks to everyone for stopping by.  When I started this blogging caper 'back in the day before it was cool to have a blog' I never imagined that there would be so many people stopping by on a daily basis.  I must be doing something right otherwise you wouldn't keep coming back (or is it just that there are that many people in the world and new people are finding me, every day, but never return ??????)  No, I know some of you keep coming back because you leave me lovely comments - thank you for those - they make me smile and laugh and keep my sanity sometimes.

What do you know today ?

Have the best weekend !

    1. Thanks Rhianna - I'm glad that I can help to make you smile !!
      The new Mom was really protective last night and didn't offer to let us cuddle baby A, so I just got to smell from a distance !!!! But, it is all good, once she is more confident she will let others hold him.
      Have the best day !

  4. Oh this is the best TIK post you've done in ages! Love it!

    Go you! You'll be a super tech head before you know it!

    Have you noticed something about your blog yet? As down as the days can get, you find the positive. You always do, and I think that's an awesome gift to have. A lot of people get stuck down in the negative and can't bring themselves to get back up for air... You, always seem to breath in positive no matter how small it mighht be, you find it. And I love that :)

    Have a great weekend hun! MWAH!

    1. Thanks MC - no I hadn't actually seen it like that at all. What I do know is that I have said I am not going to get old and be a Negative Nelly like some people that I know. I am SOOOOOOOOO glad that it is coming across in my writing because that must mean that I am living it as well !!!

      I think EVER calling me a super tech head is a loooooooooooooong way off but thank you for the compliment - all gratefully accepted !!

      Will definitely take photos of the color run if it happens.
      Have the best weekend !

      Love, hugs and positive energy !

    1. LOL - it's all good - you weren't the only one. I am going to do an e-mail around ('cos I can't do a ring around !!!) to everyone who said they wanted to be part of the project but then didn't send me their physical address - I would have gotten to you then !!!
      Have a great weekend and take care !

  6. Exactly my own sentiments on newborn babies - gimme, gimme, gimme - I must inhale that precious smell. But then take it back quickly because I dare not tempt my ovaries to do that ever again...! Enjoy the massage - so glad you booked it!

    1. LOL - my ovaries were running a million miles in the other direction so I knew I was safe !!!! K would probably be mortified if I landed up falling pregnant now because then people would know that A and I were 'doing it' !!! PMSL
      I am so looking forward to the massage - and if it is as good as it should be - my next one is going to be a 90min massage !!!
      Have a great weekend !

  7. I had noticed how positive your posts were :)
    I also think you underestimate yourself with tech stuff, yay for working out the subscription stuff!
    I never did opt in for the snail mail project but would love to, you know my address ;) when A gets back, you'll have to take him for a big drive to see the trees and open spaces and settle on a house, come be my neighbour!! Have a great weekend x

    1. Thank you Stacey-Lee. LOL you are already on the list !!!!
      When A is out this week maybe we will try to get to look at some properties - depending on how many other things he needs to do while he is home.
      Have a great day !

  9. I too am totally amazed at how many people come to my blog. I too am a technophobe, totally useless. I too love my comments and the fact that people return.
    I am also watching the year slip by, but cant wait for our trip to come either.
    Ah, so much in common :)

  10. Gigantic technophobe here too. Clueless. That massage sounds wonderful.

    I'm surprised that anyone other than my Mum reads my blog.

    Hope you had an amazing time on Saturday. Sounds awesome. xo

    1. Hi Ness - I did have a great time on Saturday. The massage was so good I booked another one !!!!! Because I am a massage therapist myself, I find it really difficult to find a good massage therapist - so glad I have !!!
      Have a great week !
