What a busy and exciting time ahead for me!
In just over 3 weeks I'll be visiting Sydney for the very first time!!!! It's exciting and scary at the same time, because I'm going solo. But I like to explore on my own, do my own thing, so it's not too bad.
I'll be meeting one of my half-brothers' and his family for the very first time too, another slightly scary prospect, but I'm still curious about my origins.
Then I'll have a couple of days to play tourist and be shown around by a friend who I showed around Brisbane a little while ago. I've made a list of things to check out, but no-one ever really does everything on their list ;) and of course, there's chances for coffee! Lindt cafe' mmmmmm......
Next on the list is the piercing course. Now fully paid and just waiting, watching the calendar. 7 weeks away pretty much, I can't wait! Also adding to the excitement is getting to stay with a special gf, yay for girly sleepovers! LOL Much coffee and gossip to be had...It'll be a long week, long days, but I'm looking forward to it ;) I still need models too, so if you're interested, let me know!
So after that, I'll be home for the first week of the school holidays and looking for work...
Then I'm off to Adelaide in 9 weeks!!! Gee she gets around, doesn't she? No, it's not a mid-life crisis...No, I'm not about to abandon my family....I decided I want to meet some of the friends I've made online, I didn't travel before I had the kids, never done anything mildly interesting like that.
So I'll meet quite a few people around Adelaide, even including someone who babysat me as a child! I was too young to remember her (sorry Sharon LOL) but I remember her sister was Mums' hairdresser. Now I have no idea what's in Adelaide besides churches and wineries, not that either intrigue me. Ah well, plenty of time to google between now and then ;)
Two of the parties I'm meeting are arch enemies (not really hehe), so that's bound to make for an interesting time...and I'm not sure it would be the right thing to try to patch them up either :/
But I'm sure I'll have a ball, just hanging out watching Britcoms with one, trying to appear interested about footy with the other ;p
So after all that, it might also be time for my gastric sleeve and hernia repair surgery...they still can't, or won't, give me a firm date, but they've excluded the time up to the piercing course, as I can't miss that now.
Hopefully it'll be after SA though so my plans remain the same.
Will I get bored or restless after all this??? I have no idea. I just plan to enjoy every second of the experiences and show the kids that it's fine to do things on your own, even scary things.... :)

ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you're heading off out and about on little trips, it will be fun and spending time away from the family helps everyone at times because you all remember to appreciate each other more. It's healthy to do some things on your own (and I mean everyone), we all require some time out to recharge our batteries.
I have had a few little breaks before and thoroughly enjoyed them. I've also met up with friends from online and it's been great fun.
Adelaide..got some great cafes, bars, the Adelaide Hills are nice, West Beach and Glenelg aren't too bad, kind of touristy in an Adelaide way. You'll be surprised how little traffic is on the road and how short the buildings are in comparison to Brisvegas.
I do like it there though. And if you're able to get out on the road at all, Victor Harbor is really pretty!
Anyway, I think you'll enjoy the trips.
And as for girly gossip week while you're doing your course, that's going to be great fun!
Hell yes! I have to drag you out to see my brothers' band while i'm down there too ;)
