Birthdays and great friends

On Thursday i celebrated my 31st or start of the 32nd year of my life as they say in Turkey. 

On wednesday evening we my fellow birthday celebatee and i J celebrated our April Birthdays with playgroup friends and dear friends with a dinner in Alsancak. I love sharing this day i usually dont enjoy my birthdays but the last 2 years have been such special days : ).I really think sharing takes the focus of the me and creates an "us". About 2 months ago i was shopping with 2 dear friends and fell in love with a very cute summer bag.. this was my gift i nearly fell off my chair i was so excited. Love you ladies thankyou for another magic birthday and my beautiful gift..

THE BAG !!

Happy Bithday J& I

I have an awful lot to write about but really dont have enough time at the moment... this past week has been long and tough my father isnt well so Ceyda and i are flying to Scotland this evening. 

Easter catch up : )

Here are a few pictures of our Easter Weekend... we did have a nice day but the event was a tad disorganised for my liking.( waited 2 hrs to eat.. games started after most people left) but my friend Julia and i planned out own mini Egg hunt and everything turned out just great. However since all the older kids had already taken all the eggs i had to egg snatch from 10 year olds..now that was a fun experience he he : )...
p.s its lovely lovely lovely to be back

So happy to be back

The ban has finally ended. I am so so happy to be back, this blog i realise is so important to me, it gives me a voice connects me to dear friends far away and brings me new knowledge, it truelly nurtures me and lifts my spirits. I was so sad not to be able to view pictures or make comments on blogs that i wanted to.Yay i am back.

Momentum

It seems almost strange to me that all the things that i have been planning to do yet never quite been able to get round to doing or completing are suddenly all either being done or more shockingly complete. 

Perhaps it is because Ceyda is a little older she plays a little more on her own.. no thats not it, there is momentum in the air it is pulling me pushing me driving me...How is it that a 2 year plan to start a small home based business has suddenly been realised. How is that after months of trying to get in shape and fighting myself over what i have or have not eaten that i am am waking at 6.30am to run..How is it that i have been craving to learn knew things yet it is now that i find e courses that are home based and cost effective. My days are running relentlessly into one another yet i cannot stop it, its like a runaway train. I hope that i can find the brakes soon as i am guessing i might just run out of steam soon : ) : )....

or maybe thats the idea maybe i dont run out of steam maybe i throw a few things off the train reduce the weightload get rid of the unwanted and focus..maybe i just found the answer...

Finding you...

It really seems like forever since i last posted. Blogger is still banned in Turkey but i can post sometimes which is kind of odd as i cant then view what i have posted. I do plan to get the computer man from my husbands office to  see if he can help me view blogger normally but these past weeks have just been so busy...busy in a nice way full of energy and inspiration. 
The nice thing is that i can stilll read the blogs love in reader (a week ago i couldnt). I really enjoy spending a half hr in the morning catching up with the blogs that i love and the women that write then.There is alot to catch up on but i will start with a super cute picture of Ceyda and Lucky...i have no idea how he managed to wriggle his way onto her bike. I just love to see them together, yesterday she had her play peppa pig medical bag out she i watched her from the kitchen window was listening to his heart and chattering away telling him he was all better. He just lolls around her in adoration its so cute. 

Here is a pic of Ceyda and her Lucky ( i hope it works as i cant see it ? )

Almost back

Yay i just read that the blogger ban will be reversed on Monday cant wait to catch up : )

xxxx

I can post...

Blogger still banned I can post sometimes but not view my own blog : ( weird... i must say i am really really missing catching up with the blogs i follow...i dont know what to post on my wordpress blog its just doesnt seem me.
I hope to sort this out Sat with some magic from our office computer wiz.
