Well its only two more months or so til I turn 39, 1 more year before the big one.
Workwise all is well, I have contemplated trying out contracting but maybe a permanent job paying more money will be wiser. I do want to retire early and I have my financial goals so I need to decide what my priorities are, I've been cruising along in neutral career wise so maybe its time I stepped up and made some effort.
Healthwise is looking good too althought i still have the chicken pox scars. I'm trying a mix of treatments, bio oil, turmeric, home microdermabrasion, daily scrubs but i think time will be the main treatment so hopefully it will fade eventually. The only annoying thing is I have to use more foundation that I normally would but its a small price to pay.
Kidwise, they are wonderful. They are balls of loving energy and I adore them to bits. I miss them as babies but I love having conversations and showing them the wonders of life. A part of me is sad though as not only do I intend to show them the wonders but I also want to show them the woes as I want them to know the traps and terrors to avoid. Like what could happen if they talk to strangers.
Housewise, things are kind of slow but I guess there is no other pace when it comes to building. We were set to go with our custom builder but then a friend recommended another builder so we are waiting on a quote. I would like to invest in another property (as part of our retirement goal) so I'd like to settle the financial aspect of our principle residence so I can see where we are at for investments.
We've also come up with an idea for an app and had several occasions where it would have been handy if such an app was available so this seems like a good indication that it could be a successful app. We've written specifications and are up to looking for someone to develop it but hubby has decided to learn this part.
Plans for the big 40 year havent been fully realised yet. We were planning a big trip to Vegas to celebrate with a bang but it might be a bit costly for us and our friends so other options are Philippines and Vietnam. I was thinking of changing my last name as a surprise for our 10 year anniversary as well. I kind of like the idea as it feels like I am putting on a new persona heheheh. I'd also like to get him a watch although this gift is likely to be quite expensive as he has mentioned Tag watches which are a few thousand.
So i'd have to say, this year is travelling well if not a little too fast. Life is pretty good, but could it be better?
