ageing ungracefully...

Happy Birthday to me...

Another year has passed and another birthday has come and gone. Fortunately this year I wasn't surprised by another party, instead enjoyed a dinner with the family overlooking the beautiful night lights of Melbourne. I also can't believe it has been twelve months since I lasted added an album or some photos...as you can see I lead a thrilling life with so much to share! As with every year I become way over analytical about who remembers and who forgets my birthday! As with last year the people I expect to forget remember, and those I expect to remember forget! I'll say nothing but over the next few days I'll receive a couple of apology messages!

I'm so incredibly lucky to have the amazing friends I do. Sometimes I wonder what they see in me but I'm glad they see something. A text message or a call brings the biggest smile to my face, to think that someone cares is so humbling for me. I always think about stuff like this on my birthday because I like to think about the year that has passed and what I've achieved and failed to achieve. I also think about my biological mum and whether she spares a thought for me...given she squeezed me out 31 years ago!

It's back on the diet for me...seriously. My birthday fell on a Monday and diets traditionally start on Monday so it seems like a good idea. I've put on approximately 15kgs since my birthday last year, I feel absolutely disgusting and not fitting into any of my clothes makes me feel horrid. Two years ago I weighed what I do now, I'm so pissed off with myself that I lost 15kgs and put it all back on again within twelve months. Admittedly the work situation didn't help but I can't use that as an excuse. Last time I lost that weight in four months so come January I hope to be in the low 90s again. Chicks hate guys who have bigger boobs than them so it's bye bye Moobs!

I've made another short-term goal that I aim to achieve by Christmas. They mean more to me when I don't blab them to the world much like my three life goals. I've never been one for setting goals because I never take them seriously, probably stemming from the constant reminders back in High School about the importance of setting goals which were often met with sniggers.

Umm, what else I can report? We're seriously considering sending Monty in for another operation, this time on his left hind knee. Apparently it's quite common for this breed to dislocate their knees and poor Mont (still being a puppy) like to run flat out, then all of a sudden he'll pull up with an awful squeal. So the operation would be to fix this. Poor bugger has already had two operations on his hip and been desexed...he has endured more operations that me!

That will do. It's late and I really can't be bothered writing more. If something exciting happens before my next entry I'll upload some photos of it! Geez, one year and nothing new to show off...so damn lame!!!
