Firday night and the weekend lies ahead...

Well we've all been there...its friday, we think we should have lots of plans made for the weekend when infact we have maybe one if we're lucky...well i know I have lol but in all honesty I am looking forward to my weekend!

I've had a hectic week, what with Burns night, anniversary celebrations, the ballet and a turnmoil in my dating life (yeah i actually have well had one of them lol)...all i want to do tonight is have a bath and crawl over my bed into a blissful coma (my cold might have something to do with this also).

The rest of the weekend will be gyming it and meeting some friends for cocktails tomorrow night (if the weather doesnt put heed to that!). And i cant wait, honestly! Gone is my need to have my day planned out to the max, my weekends filled with 'to do' lists and coffees with friends here, there and everywhere (mind you I still love wittering away the hours in a coffee shop :) ). Am i getting old? Perhaps but I would rather be getting old and enjoying my weekend than rushing about all weekend and counting down the days till the next one.

So whats the point to all this blethering you say...well i suggest you take time out this weekend to do something for you and relish the moment!

Have a good one!! :)

New Years Resolutions....

I absolutely hate them!

For the next month the gym becomes a minefield, everyone is depressed because they have cut out the excess from their diet and the weather doesnt help much!

Roll on February when everything is a bit calmer lol (and i can get a decent workout at the gym)

(Plus I am in vegas woohoo!)

Musings...

Firstly Happy New Year to you all!!! Hope 2010 brings you lots of sparkle and joy :)

What is it with turning 30 that has you re-evaluating your life? Looking at what you have
achieved and whats instore in the future??

Now to the people that know me I am quite a bubbly person, I take most things as they come, I enjoy my friendships and think family is one of the most important things to treasure. I like to achieve certain goals throughout the year and always have something to keep me busy.

Tough since i think more and more about the next 6 months I begin to wonder more what ifs and it's definately more on the relationship theme. Is it years of media that has me thinking that at 30 I should be settled with a man I want to spend my future with? Have 2.4 children and the house with the picket fence? (For the record the picket fence and children part are still undecided) Or maybe it's just because one of my closest friends just got engaged and another family member is expecting her first child. Or maybe it's my own biological clock sounding out the familar noise that everyone my age dreads to hear?

For what's it's worth I am happy in my life as it currently stands. I have a great friendship/ family circle. I have a wonderful flat and the boys (the cats) keep me entertained with their shenanigans and I love my freedom of being single. So what is all the musing about?? Maybe it's time that I threw myself headfirst back into the dating game and see whats occuring.

Maybe it's just that 30 is the first great milestone in adulthood. We have to readdress our life to see if it fits our goals and if not we still have time to do something about it.

So what am I going to do???

1. Firstly right a list of everything I have achieved so far and what is still to be done.
2.Then see where I still want to travel and set plans in motion.
3.Get sorted about my weight. It has been a battle all my life and at the moment I'm not at my happiest. SO I plan to swim 5k for charity in April and then walk the West Highland Way in June (93miles of scottish terain!) all goals that i know I can achieve and it gives me a reason to get my bum to the gym/ swimming pool!! Plus i know I will see results!
4. Get more focussed on my career. I have 3 more exams to sit....time to get working towards the next one I suspect!
5. Enjoy the here and now! Life is far too short to be worrying 24/7. It's the time to enjoy :D

Now to see if any of this works lol
