I had a feeling that this year….the year of being 30….was going to be a good year. Towards the end of last year, things just started coming together for me.

I scored a new job.
I started losing some weight and surprisingly I’ve managed to keep it off. Although I do keep weighing myself every week to make sure that the winter kilos are not creeping back on.
I discovered a new enthusiasm for some exercise and realised that it wasn’t going to kill me and could actually be enjoyable at times.
I got back on my bike and found I could still ride it – although not without some significant degree of buttocks pain afterwards.
We found our perfect block of land and our perfect house is getting built on it.
My “skinny” cat has gained a little weight and my fat one at least hasn’t got any fatter.
I learned how to cook a few new things and surprisingly they are edible.
I’m working my way through a self-study CD and getting some nice results from my time out in the great outdoors.
I’ve managed to stick to a 365 photo challenge (that astonishes me more than anything).
We finally finished installing our spa and it looks great!

Our house is coming ahead quicker than we possibly could have imagined we quite possibly could be in it in under two and a half months from the time construction started. It still has a way to go but it’s getting closer every day. We finally got ourselves a bedroom suite – how grown up!  But the best part of the new house?? Three words – polished wooden floors! I can just see myself skating across the floor in my fluffy bedsocks a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I even have a pair just suited to the job.

In the meantime, can I be 29 forever?? I suppose not but if the lead up to the 30s are as good as the 30s themselves, I’m sure I’ll be happy even if I have to turn 31 at some stage.

PS – If you love the look of my bedsocks as much as I love wearing them, check out the range at My Socks Rock. I can vouch for speedy service and comfy, warm socks!
