I do realise that my introduction was rather garbled and probably did not seem at all like an introduction, sorry about that, but actually that is a real picture of what I am like - yup, you got it - I am a weirdo! Never mind, I will have to piece it all together for you as and when it pops into my head, and seeing as my memory is acting up since being on my current medication, we probably have no hope of knowing what I actually should be writing, ha, ha. Actually I need to make sure I take the bloomin' stuff at the same time every day, that might help......, that and go to bed earlier - groan.
My mission - which I chose to accept! This is the reason I have started the blog and everything else I do this year, I want to feel like I am a better person at the end of the year. I mean in all aspects and whatever it takes to improve myself as a person I will attempt to do. Now I am not including anything drastic or plastic, just to reach out and have more purpose - or something - oh, I don't know. I just though that if I had an achievable challenge then it might be an exciting journey to get to the goal.
So.......... the mission is quite simple and I have already done some of it due to my love of travel and my age!! I want to visit all the capital cities of Europe. I have listed them on the right and also put a link to a Google map to show the ones I have been to and which are left. I expect it will take some time as I don't have any money!!
Anyway, so far so good and off to a great start. Yesterday I set up a Twitter account @crazyladyabroad so I can update the ether on my every movement and hopefully make some connections across the world. Amazingly I sent my third tweet today about buying postcards and got a reply from www.postcrossing.com about an International meeting being held in May. Coincidentally I reinstated my postcrossing account yesterday as well to send and receive postcards from all over the world. I did it a few years ago and it was brilliant getting little glimpses of people from everywhere. I am thoroughly enjoying writing them, I am allowed to send 10 at a time now and I try and make them colourful and interesting about myself and Oxford. I wasn't too pleased that the price of stamps had gone up to 87p though, still, at least it is one price for postcards all over the world. Oh listen to me going on about the price of stamps!! I almost sound normal...............
Plus........... I rejoined Slimming World. Yup, it worked when I did it last year and I managed to keep off what I lost, but I couldn't go after a while as I had to step in to do Cub Scouts on a Wednesday evening as the other leaders left. There is no excuse now as other leaders are covering the nights until we get a permanent leader. It was one of those things that was getting too much for me and I have to say... NO. So I will be posting my weekly weight loss - just in case you are interested, I need to see the numbers go down so it will help me which is the main thing.
I also felt very pleased with myself as I managed to write and post my thank you cards to my family for my Christmas presents. Yup, very smug about that one!!
Had a bit of role-reversal with my 21 year old son this evening. He moved out last year and shares a flat with a friend of his as he is an independent working chap now, and I popped round for a cuppa to talk about the holiday to Athens in a couple of weeks. He is treating me and my youngest daughter, she is 19, to the trip - how amazing is that. Well I obviously did something right because as I left he handed me a pot of his homemade vegetable soup that he had made earlier, ohhhh it was delicious!! Proud mum alert........ :)
