That was easy, here we have beach, sea, house, garden, blue sky, sun. All of that makes me happy so imagine how happy I am when I'm here, looking out at this.

30 Days of Me - Day 20 Someone you see yourself being with in the future
Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future
Is this a trick? I've already got one you see.
I started to write out our life story then thought pictures might be better.
Starting with Batman, The rebel (age 14), Bedroom wall he painted, (remember Roger Dean?), when we were young, the day we bought our first boat 1989 (thanks Bignose), Crossing the Atlantic, Stag night in St Martin, Wedding Day in Anguilla 1994, Wedding Reception in St Martin, With Ryan 1 week old, Sailing past Dominica 1997, Digging the pond 2009.
What more is there to say? - we've been together for 26 years! It only seems like yesterday. Most of its been fun and theres heaps to do together yet. We love it.

30 Days of Me - Day 19 Nicknames
Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them.
The main one at home is 'Queenie' bestowed upon me by my family.
Maybe because I have a propensity to expect that flights of angels shall sing me to my rest.
Maybe because I'm a little bit strange.
Probably because I'm quite bossy.
She is one of my favourite characters of all time though, apparently, when they cast Miranda Richardson for the part they had to re-write her as she did such a wonderful and quirky job.
I also have my Rapper Name which is K-Dizzle, from @alansmitheejr, one time creative at work now living the dream in the 'Dam.
I think everyone should have rapper names.
Oh and then there's Kezza, KP, and Major Payne I'm not too fussed what I'm called so long as its not rude - Major Payne is kinda annoying tho' but so was Edgar, I used to get my own back by calling him Eddie, I don't think he liked it.

30 Days of Me - Day 18 Plans/dreams/goals
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have.
Plans - work, work, work. Retire, Buy a bigger boat, sail around the Pacific on it.
Dreams - Still need to travel more, tied in with the retiring plan I think, doing what we can afford to do before that, seeing the rest of NZ would be good though - we got here 9 years ago and haven't seen any of the South Island yet.
Goals - Apart from the sailing around the pacific thing. I'd just like to ensure as much as I can that my son continues to grow up into a nice young man.
A goal I have for someone else.
I'm allowed, I'm his Mum.
I'm also allowed to scare him shitless and put him off slides for life!

30 Days of Me - Day 17 Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why
Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why
When I was at primary school there was fish tank in the hallway by the admin office with a shitload of Neon Tetras in there.
I always wanted to be a tropical fish, I figured it would be easier than school.
Either that or Mother Teresa (OK so she's dead, when she was alive then)
Or maybe this guy just to have balls that big would be cool.
I sense a watery theme going on here, Hmm.

30 Days Of Me - Day 16 Another picture of yourself.
Day 16 - Another picture of yourself.
Work Christmas Party 2008.
The theme was 'Soul Train'. I kept the shades on most of the night, virtually no-one knew it was me! I think Auckland might have sold out of Afro wigs that week - everyone had one on.
I enjoy dress-ups I probably enjoy putting the costume together as much or even more than actually going out.
I made the dress, trimmed it with feather boas and scouted around all over the place for the rest. Great night was had by all. and yes, I've still got all the gear in the dress up box!

30 Days of Me - Day 15 Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play.
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play.
The thing is, I have an iPhone that i don't really use for music, a Gen II iPod that I'm not sure where it is, (it does have a purple glow in the dark cover though) and an iPod shuffle that I use in the Gym. Most of my iTunes listening is via my laptop. My iTunes Library has grown to 85GB, mainly cos I've stolen all the nice music I find from other people as well as importing everything we have at home on CD.
Sometimes I've nicked whole iTunes libraries from people - means for a whole lot of weird, wonderful and eclectic music. I surprise myself sometimes by just putting it on shuffle.
1. Green Gloves by the National - quite nice - I will find out more about that artist - I did, I like them http://www.myspace.com/thenational
2. Woman Trouble - The Artful Dodger http://www.last.fm/music/The+Artful+Dodger. From Southampton! the town of my birth.
3. Rock n roll Singer - AC/DC I really love AC/DC at most times of the day or night!
4.Constant Craving - KD Lang Is it a man or a lady? dunno.
5. Aint No Sunshine - The Jackson 5 :) when MJ was still black.
6. 'Crooklyn Clan'! - some out there Rap mix (God knows where that came from, its not labelled properly or anything.)
7. Glory of Love - Peter Cetera - I like a nice Rock Ballad in the Morning!
8. Happy Birthday - Altered Image. 80's much?
9.Open Minded - Bellcrash cool, funky tune.
10. The Wood in the Fire - The Mighty Sparrow - I'm glad this came up - a nice reminder of the Caribbean
Now I know I like Bellcrash, the National, Artful Dodger.
Its actually a good way of weeding out the iTunes, by putting it on shuffle and seeing what comes up.
