5 Years Captured For Memories

I asked Heinz to take a photo of us while walking around the zoo yesterday...

I had to have a photo for my memories of us together on our special day as so many of our past anniversary's I've been in Cape Town on holiday and Heinz in Germany, so far we've only spent two anniversary's together...

Thoughts....

It's Monday morning in Germany, a lovely 8 degrees outside as I sit down to do this entry.
I look out the window and wonder if I should take the car and drive to the gym that's 4 kl away, walk ( never walked to gym before ), or go for a 8kl run outdoors.

Last week I had a goal - I wanted to save 2 points per day from my daily allowed points for last weekend, my anniversary weekend - I'm sitting here wondering what goals I can set out for myself this coming week. If I don't have any goals set out I'm wondering if I'll even get myself to gym...( am struggling to get going this morning )

I'm going to be working on my 2010 Photo diary today and tomorrow. The company I use, Photobox in the UK, has a special running which finishes tomorrow...Buy one, get one free...I want to do one for myself and the free one for my daughter in Cape Town. Of course her diary will look different to mine. Mine will be filled with photo's of all my family members and her's of her little adorable boy!

My baby turns 23 this week. She's in Charlottesville, Virgina, USA working as an aupair for a stunning family. It's her first birthday out of her home country, and her 3rd birthday away from me. I'm really hoping the host family do something very exciting for her...she would love to visit New York...but not sure if that wish is going to come true for her.

I'm keen to experiment in the kitchen - I have a hubby who dislikes spicy foods, he loves dinners to be plain...but I'm bored and mentioned to him that I need to make dinner time more exciting for me. I need something to think about during the day....

*WHAT AM I GOING TO COOK FOR DINNER TO NIGHT* and then go through sites or books and find something new to try out. I hate inviting people for dinner as I know my cooking is shocking and can't put anyone through my meals...whenever we invite people over, we braai - it takes all the pressure off me. I've had enough of that now, i want to improve my cooking skills and think it will give me something to do and work towards...I love going through the WW cooking sites and reading the bloggers cooking tips, now have to start putting everything into practise.

Heinz and I have decided to stay home for Xmas day, we were thinking of going away, but instead we thought it would be nicer for us to go to Berlin over New Year...join in the big party they have there as back home it's just the two of us lightening a few firework crackers and sitting in front of the tv.....I think its going to be much better getting away for New Year...Party baby!!!!

The photo's with this entry I took at the Opel-Zoo in Frankfurt yesterday. It was such a good day, emotionally a good one for me as I mentioned, it lifted my spirit and removed the anger feeling's I've had for the last two weeks - I've been so down in the dumps - but by now you would think I would be prepared for the after holiday blues as I've been experiencing this for the last 5 years - yet each time I leave for my holiday feeling that Germany is home and in such a good place I can't imagine returning and being down...come home, am happy to be surrounded by my own things again, my own bed...then BANG...it hits me...depression!!!

It's 10 am and I'm still sitting in front of my laptop...I need to get to gym and have a workout...then this evening am teaching a class to my ladies as this Thursday the hall is not available.

Let me get out of here...HAVE A GREAT WEEK...
