- My tipple of choice is Malibu and caffeine-free Diet Coke
- I gave up caffeine (in the form of coffee and diet coke) when I was pregnant and can't have it any more without losing sleep
- I'm not keen on the number 31 as it has no even numbers
- My husband (who knows me so well) pointed out that 3 minus 1 equals 2 which is one of my favourite numbers
- My husband and I have been married almost 3 years and a couple for nearly 13 years
- I adore stories with happy endings
- At the end of books and movies with happy endings I tend to say "that was a lovely story"
- I miss the times I could spend all day engrossed in a book or chick flick movie marathon
- I love that Mr Mischief is a fan of books and reading
- It's an annual tradition that my husband makes me tiramisu for my birthday (since around 2008)
- It's virtually impossible for me to lay-in these days (even when hubby gets up with Mr Mischief and leaves me in bed I can't sleep!)
- I'm a horrible person when I'm extremely tired
- This evening when counting the number of people in a photo I missed the number 44 on 2 occasions according to my husband
- 10 years ago I was living in Glasgow, Scotland and working at SQA and had a summer holiday in the Greek Islands
- 5 years ago I was living in Palmy, about to embark on NaNoWriMo which I amazed myself by completing (I wrote 50,000 words in 30 days!)
- It's weird how age used to be so important but now I struggle to remember how old I am
- I have a shocking memory and have to write a lot of things down so I can remember them
- I can be really indecisive and it gets so much worse when I'm tired
- When I first learnt to drive my Mum used to remind me to put my lights on when I drove in the dark. Now my husband does the same. Sometimes I worry that without these reminders I would forget to do it!
- I'm pretty sure that when I was 18 I didn't imagine being where I am at age 31
- I love most of "where I am"
- But there are some things that need work
- One of my proudest achievements is bringing my son into the world and the manner in which I was able to do it
- I still can't believe I'm a grown-up
- In the few short weeks we've lived here in Wellington I've realised how much I missed living by the sea
- I can't walk over stony beaches without looking for heart shaped stones or ones with smiley faces
- It's getting late, I'm tired and can't work out if I'm using double negatives or not
- There's a mirror in the corner of our bedroom which doesn't match any of our other furniture and it came all the way from the UK. It's the 1st piece of furniture I bought and the only piece of furniture we shipped when we emigrated here
- I still can't work out how almost 7 1/2 years (since we left the UK) have gone so fast
- I can't decide whether or not to do a list of things to do aged 31 like I have since I was 27
- I've lost my blogging mojo during the move but hope that writing some lists and hand-writing my thoughts might help the words come back.
