Missing tooth!!!

I got an sms from my sister yesterday telling me that my youngest nephew has lost his first tooth... at last! He wants me to put it up on my blog so NOW YOU KNOW! :)
Isn't it great being a kid? I mean, that's the only time in life I'd think I'd be happy about losing teeth!
Okay, back to my books now. Goodnight!

Lest we forget

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- For the Fallen, Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

When the war is over

I'm listening to John Farnham tonight. I read last night of a boy having drowned off Surfers Paradise. That is so sad. His mate couldn't help him as they had been caught in a rip. His body was finally found at Mermaid Beach.

I miss looking at the Pacific Ocean. I can't imagine how many lives have been lost to the waters there. John Farnham's magical voice always reminds of the Pacific. I miss watching the sun rise over the ocean. The scene always brought peace to me. I miss hearing the waves crash onto the shore in the dead of the night.

Burleigh Heads was my fave beach though. I loved climbing the rocks and looking for stones in the puddles. I wish I could go back there one day to just breathe in that ocean air.

I'm still here...

I hadn't written in a long time, eh? Well, it's just that there hasn't been much to say. I've been kept busy and I've been reading a lot but I've taken a break the past week. It was my birthday a week ago and my best friend sent me something I absolutely love... a Tom Jones cd set! hehehe She knows me so well.

Okay, this is a short one. Hope everyone is doing well.

It

I had coffee with a friend a couple of days ago. It was loads of fun. We walked around and looked at the shops for a bit too. It was nice to go out and just enjoy the company of another human being.

I still haven't watched 'Borat' which is a shame because I doubt I'd have this much time on my hands next week. So perhaps I should go to the movies on Monday. I never like going to the movies on the weekend. The cinema tends to be dreadfully crowded and noisy. I hate that. Perhaps I'll watch "The Queen'. I heard it's quite good. I watched 'The Mummy II' for the millionth time last week. I never get tired of watching it. I think Brendon Fraser is sooooooo cute. That's more than enough reason to watch his movies.

I should get a haircut this weekend. My hair is growing really quickly and it's all over my face right now. I feel like Cousin It.

Mel, are you reading this?

I've had another lazy weekend. I didn't do much apart from some housework. You know, I enjoy doing the ironing. I know, many people hate it. It's just that once I get started, I can't stop. So today, when I got through the entire ironing pile, I started ironing the bedlinen. Ha ha, how anal is that?

I also ate a little too much today. I had a heavy lunch, light tea and huge dinner. Darn! There goes my diet.

I am supposed to meet a friend for tea on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to that. I always enjoy a cup of tea and it's doubly fun when I have someone to talk to whist drinking it. We haven't decided where we'll have tea at. I want to some place where I can have nibblies like sandwiches.

I'm in the mood for jelly beans now but I haven't got any at home. I like the green ones the most. I like the ones by Allens which you can get from KMart. But there isn't a KMart where I live now and so, no Allens. I hope my best mate is reading this and so she'll post me some Allens jelly beans from KMart for my birthday.

Talking about my birthday, it's not so far away. In about three weeks, I'll be a year older than I am now. I was watching America's Funniest Videos yesterday and this kid made this fabulous discovery whilst looking at the calendar. At the top of his voice he shouted, "Hey Mom! I was born on my birthday!" That just cracked me up.

Okay, time to go to sleep and dream of talking doughnuts. It's true, I really dreamt of a huge talking chocolate doughnut the other afternoon.
