Lil update

We were meant to be spending the day at the aquarium with our bumps and babes group today, but Poppy got sick while we were there, so we've come home early. And now she is sleeping and i'm feeling restless because our plans got changed and flame is still poorly and i'm worried about her, so Sir sent me on here to do some blogging and then this afternoon i'm sticking in all the photos into the Poppy albums and then me and Sir are going to watch a DVD together. i wasn't sure what to write about, so i thought i'd do a '101 list' update to let people know all the things i've crossed off recently:

#9. grow my own fruits and vegetables in the garden - i'm soooo impressed with myself because this is the first time i've ever tried anything like this, and i got some beautiful tomatoes and beans, loads of courgettes, some carrots and parsnips, and tons and tons of gorgeous fruits like raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries and blueberries :)

#71. incorporate BDSM elements into our wedding ceremony - i was a bit worried about this one, expecting some difficult questions from my family and friends afterwards but nobody batted an eyelid about the somewhat unconventional vows or the butterfly release and theme or my necklace (collar) etc. so it went really well, and all our BDSM friends appreciated the symbolism and it made it mean so much more for me and Sir.

#98. travel to new countries - we did this on our honeymoon cruise, stopping off at Greece, Italy, Spain, Croatia and Gibraltar, and had a fantastic time!

#92. gamble in a real casino ... and:

#100. have something named after me - both of these happened on my 30th birthday when Poppy gave me a rose which is officially named after me, and Sir gave me money to spend in the ship's casino for my birthday treat :)

#89. send somebody flowers - i sent flame a bouquet of white, yellow and orange lillies for her birthday and she was so pleased with them :)

#8. learn how to make smoothies ... and:

#25. make photo albums of all the Poppy photos - both these i have done (or will do) today to stop me fretting and getting restless - the smoothies i made this morning in the smoothie maker i got as a present, using some of the fruits from our garden - some were recipes in the book and then once i got the hang of it i started making up my own recipes and they all turned out really yummy :) And this afternoon i am spending some time sticking in all the Poppy photos in order in her albums :)

Which brings me to 19 things ticked off, and another 13 being worked on all the time, so i don't think i'm doing bad so far.
