Things That Just Make Me Happy

I think "Catherine is adding X to the list of things that just make her happy" is one of my favourite facebook status updates, regardless of the fact that I don't actually have a written list! Or even a consistent mental list.

So this is me at least starting some sort of written record of things that make me happy enough to want to write about them!!

Outdoor cinemas I have decided is the first one of these! I have been twice in the last couple of weeks and they are so much fun. Affordable when you are taking three kids (less then $50 for all four of us and that is including buying chicken and chips for dinner). The one I have been to also donates all profits to charities (so I can feel good about that too). We've taken dinner, caught up with friends before the movie has started then all cuddled up under a rug to enjoy a movie. That's right even in the heat we have been having it is still cool enough in the evenings to do that when you are right by the river. My only complaint is that I forgot the mosquito repeallant last night and that Aimee is the wiggliest person EVER!!! Other side benefit is I have got some really nice photos as a way of killing time before the movie has started.

PS I have just realised my last post was actually on New Years Day and I have decided I am fairly impressed with myself for that one!

New Year, New Decade, New Beginnings

Oh ... and yes ... recycled resolutions! Yes I am going to "reuse" mine from last year. I like them and I think they are still things I would like to do. However to list I am adding working out to use this blog properly (including adding pictures!) and working out how to use the WiiFit ... oh and the Wii in general!! The entourage was excited about New Years resolutions, in particular Erin. You will be pleased to know my "public" resolutions have passed approval. I strongly suggested that Reanna and Erin made their resolution to stop fighting! And that Aimee start sleeping in her own bed. My suggestions were not necessarily met with great enthusiasm but you can not blame a girl (or a mummy!) for trying.

I am excited though! Only six weeks until I turn thirty and it is a new decade. I am ready to take the challenge, to grow and to see what happens. Well I hope I am as it is clearly going to happen regardless.

My challenge for 2010, and one of the reasons I first decided to blog ... this one will have to wait until next time!
