So you're either really excited to find a new entry here, or I've lost you all cos I haven't written in a while... apologies as usual, but as you probably know I've just been too busy having too much fun to write.. just kidding... life just flies by, but here I am so that's all that's important... I've just got back from Sydney (well nearly three weeks ago now), seems like ages ago! It was interesting going on a holiday back home, not sure what too expect, but by the end of it i was kinda sad to leave :P
The flight back home was good... I got upgraded (thanks again jase :P) and I ended up sitting next to an old friend from uni which was a bonus... I got through 3 dinners in a row and about 12 movies. Finally got to Sydney and oggled the vast expanse of sky I could see everywhere, as well as grass on the sidewalk... both things almost foreign to me now! Whilst it was great to see all my family and friends, for the first week all I wanted was to be back in NY... I guess that means I'm not so ready to come home just yet... nothing at home was as good as it is over here right now... not in an offensive way, but to me it just meant I have more personal growth and exploration to do over here before I decide to come back home... (hey you should stop complaining and be happy the phrase 'before I decide to come back home' was in that sentence!!) By the end of the first day I'd caught up with those near and dear, and of course visited WBJ... can you believe it, WBJ on my first day!! im sick...but it was mum's fault. I didnt buy anything there till my second day though so thats still thats impressive...
...great now its been 2.5 weeks I've forgotten what i did....lots of breakfasts, lots of lunches... lots of drinks!! I spent a great day with my sister cruising the harbour which was lots of fun and spent quality time with all those that mattered... I went to Melbourne for a quick 12 hour stint which was awesome (sorry if you live there and i didnt see you, it really only had one purpose).... and i also got to welcome beautiful maya into the world...by the second week I was much more comfortable being at home and enjoyed myself a lot more, it may have been that I was over the jet lag, but i think more then that i was just slipping back into life as it was before i left... not in a bad way, but it's something I'm just not ready to slip back into yet...leaving was sad, but it was a little better knowing the night before I left I booked my next ticket back home... and no sorry its not a one way just yet...
..so back in the city that never sleeps is great, thats almost what I've been doing!! Memorial Day long weekend was lots of fun.. dont think I've done as much in one long weekend then I have then... i wont bore you with all the details, but the two highlights being discovering a new bar.. called the frying pan it is new yorks answer to watsons bay... a massive deck out on the hudson river, bands playing at night, sangria and burgers in the day, and the beautiful sun (which yes has decided to come out) shining down on everyone...its a great atmosphere... I also got my ass back into excercise mode by going on a day hike about an hour north of the city... any excuse to get some clean fresh air is a highlight!!
Work is going well too, we've recently one 3 big projects so its all systems go and I'm being kept super busy... lucky I've booked my next to holidays and have something to look forward to, Seattle next weekend for a netball tournament, and Miami for the 4th of July holiday, can't wait for either..

now i need sleep.
hope all is good by you!
write soon... hugs and kisses, m. xx
