September 15, 2005 - Well Its my birthday today
31 today would you believe it? I know I know, I only look 18. Sheesh what can I say? Sometimes I feel 21 and sometimes, usually in the morning, I feel 61. I think maybe I shouldn't have been so rough on the old body in the early years. Oh well thats what an outdoor childhood and nearly 10 years in the Army does to you.
I wanted to go diving today as that would be a superb way to spend a birthday but Little Darlin had other idea's.
We are flying up to Auckland tonight to see my family. Little Darlin said it's so we can catch up with them all but really it's a chance for her to gossip and chinwag with my Mum and talk about wedding stuff.
You see, being a bloke, I don't really get into the whole wedding planning guff. I know it's a big day in my life and an even bigger one for Little Darlin but jeez. I just can't get excited about all the stress that has led up to it, and all the money that is being spent on it.
I wanted a quiet little wedding somewhere on the beach, in the sun, so I could wear my flip flops, boardies and a nice hawaiian shirt, esky full of quality beer and a few good mates, but apparently that was a really bad idea!
You see her Mother and Father want her to have this huge big wedding befitting of their precious daughter. Well thats not me, and it ain't really her either(unless she is fibbing). However I think she is looking forward to being a princess for the day, even if she is my princess every day. Anyway I digress...
So it will be good to catch up with family and friends. I was planning on a dive while in my old stomping ground but my mate pulled out. Apparently his wife wouldnt give him a leave pass. Sheesh is this what I have to look forward too?
So my blog might be a little quiet for the next few days. Be good while I am gone please.
