My Little Lauren is one today!!!!! I can't believe it. Time has passed by so fast. 

ABCs of Me

A - Age
35. A big ol' 35. Funny thing is I don't feel old. I've always had a young outlook on life. I hope I feel the same when I'm 65!

B - Books
I love reading. Horror, thriller, serial killer type books. Real life crimes like the Manson murders or fictions by authors like Martina Cole and Patricia Cornwell.

C - Caitlin
My first born, my love and my life.

D - Dream Destination
Maldives. Since before I met Ivan, I've always wanted to visit the Maldives. I use to dream that I'd honeymoon here but alas it was not to be! I've made him promise to take me for a special anniversary!

E - Exercise
Something I need to do more off! Caitlin asked me yesterday if I had a baby in my belly! When I said no, she said "oh, it's just fat then"

F - Friends
I don't have many friends in real life but I've made many special friends online who I will treasure for ever.

G - Greens
I don't eat enough veg. I've only recently started eating salads.

H - Hairdressers
I love going to the hairdressers. I love playing around with my cut and colour as often as I can afford!

I - Ivan
My soulmate, my husband, my best friend.

J - Junk Food
Hate to admit it but I'm an addict. I could live without McD's, Burger King & KFC but now without pizza, garlic bread, Chinese and Indian food.

K - Kylen
I hope & pray every day that this little angel pulls through. She is constantly in my thoughts.

L - Lauren
Little Lauren. My angle. Can't believe she will be 1 on Tuesday. Where does the time go?

M - Mommaville
My favourite website.

N - Nails
The only time I've had nice long, well looked after nails was when I was pregnant both times. Otherwise they are a mess!

O - Online
I could spend hours at a time online. Best invention ever. Ivan doesn't get it (until he discovered eBay this week and bought a load of The Who stuff!).

P - Parents
I love me parents to bits. I wouldn't be where I was today or who I am today if it wasn't for their love and encouragement.

Q - Qualities
Best quality would be my outgoing personality. I'm a people person and love meeting new people. Worst quality would be my lack of patients. I'm sort of a 'if it's quicker to do yourself' type of person and it can sometimes lead to a short fuse!

R - Ring
Engagement ring. I never seen it coming. We'd been together so long. Christmas morning 1999, I just wasn't expecting it. Ivan had given me a gift box with beautiful earring in it. Later when he give me another gift box, I immediately thought 'matching something'. When I opened the box and seen the ring he had picked all by himself, I cried.

S - Scrapbooking
My new addiction. There are not enough hours in the week!

T - TV Shows
My favourite shows are ER, Holby City, casualty (all hospital dramas!). Lost, CSI, The sopranos.

U - useless Info
I can touch my nose with my tongue. I auditioned for an American film and got shortlisted. I love to dance. I hate eating cheese but love it melted on pizza etc.

V - Vatican
I went on a trip to Italy with the school and we met the Pope. I love the Vatican City. I'd love to go back.

W - Work
I've worked, full time, for the same company for the last 14 years. I never thought I'd stay there that long. Now I don't ever think I'll leave.

X - X-Ray
When I was little I closed my thumb in a car door. I got it xrayed and they said it wasn't broken. A few weeks later I was still in pain. We went to a different hospital and it was xrayed again. It was broke in 3 places!

Y - Yesterday
I visited mum & dad and we had a little party for Lauren. If was great. My mum, dad, brother, two sisters and two nieces were there. The girls love getting together.

Z - Zodiac sign
Aries. Aries belongs to a group of Zodiac signs which astrologers call fire signs. By this they mean that people born under these signs remind them of a warm, bright, crackling fire. They have a fiery, impulsive quality. They tend to be outgoing and sometimes have hot tempers, but they forgive easily as well. They are optimistic and rarely remain sad for long. Me to a T!
