2011

Age is just a number

A shout out on Twitter yesterday resulted in tremendous amount of well wishes.

And amazing perspective to life. Some of it, blew my mind. Well, literally 😉

It’s a BIG year for me! I turned the BIG 4-0 this past 9/11. So far…it’s been a GREAT year!! Seriously amazing.

Well happy birthday!! It is actually my dear mother’s birthday today. =) (and you and I are the same age)

happy birthday today! Mine too but I’m a bit older than you. (43 and not afraid to admit it) 😉

The only time I celebrated (announced) my birthday over this blog was in 2009. We celebrated the big 3-0 during a visit to India. How does it feels since then?

As of today, I am adding 2 more years of wisdom.
Appearance of GRAY HAIR! Nightmarish!
Added responsibility, (ahem) weight & backaches.
Completed MBA. Phew! Currently thinking about PhD. Kid you not.
Love every minute as a SAHW (stay at home wife) with flexible priorities. Less of “Just Do It”, more of “Do It Later”. Sort of laid-back.
Health becomes a priority i.e yoga, biking & running.
I am more likely to have similar experiences with people I often converse with. Do I feel smarter if I can relate? That’s a topic to discuss some day 😉
Proactive arguments wins all the time.
Sense of personal style.
Negotiation skills are test and put in good use.
More nieces and nephews are added in the birthday book.
I have OLD friends. Just kidding, you know who you are 😉
Taking health supplements and reading nutrition labels.

Being in the 20s seems mischievous with least caution. Do I miss it? Hell, yeah.

Took a little risk with a vlog. Don’t stone me for it 😉

Here’s to another year of awesomeness, a little acceptance towards wrinkles, GRAY HAIR (Yikes!) & backaches. Cheers 🙂

A few weeks ago, we were delighted to discover a hidden duck’s nest filled with eggs in our flower bed. I didn’t waste any time, clicked away and posted it over at our photo-blog for the family to see. Yup, we instantaneously share each and every minute discoveries to our families back home.

Sweden Spring-y

Spring is finally here! And wishing it would stay longer 🙂 Pretty birds chirping away, flowers and sweet scent in the air. Roses are blooming in the garden. I am sure the tulips in Amsterdam are just as beautiful this time of the year. What’s in your garden?

Failed brownies

Clearly my failed attempt at baking a brownie almost had me kicking myself. Instead of using all purpose flour, I accidentally threw in self-rising flour. That (supposed) brownie turned out puffy, dry and cakey. Eatable, but not that we would go for seconds or thirds. Sorry Hubby. I tried to salvage the celebration last Friday with a celebratory night out stretched well into weekend 😉 Yup, the Hubby had loads of fun this year 🙂

Time to celebrate

Happy Birthday Hubby!!!

We have a fun evening planned that includes stuffing ourselves with brownies, dinner and movie. The celebrations continues tomorrow at Epcot & Magic Kingdom. Wahoo! Leaving you with a photo of what’s baking in the oven.
