I have been super busy of late but a break is coming ... by the name of the Pacific Pearl. I am so looking forward to 9 nights of fun, time with my boys, and no internet! I will probably go crazy not checking my emails and social media after 1 night, but it will be good (I may just need to repeat that over to myself a few more times).
So in 12 sleeps we will be bound for Vila, Mare, Lifou and Noumea. Lets hope Quinn loves kids club!
I have been making progress on my list ... even managing to squeeze some reading time in ... yay for the Japan shop that sells LED lights which clip onto your book!
At 542 days to go I have ticked off...
2. 20 books (8.5 down) ... So I must admit the 3 books I initially read may have been the Grey's books, but since then I have read a few more that I can recommend...
The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch and Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart - Gordon Livingston, M.D. are two books I try to re-read each year ... it's amazing how much you forget, and how each time I read one of these books I always take away something. If you haven't read them - check them out.
Being the Apple geek I am of course I had to read The Apple Experience - Carmin Gallo. It's all about building insanely great customer loyalty. After three 'intellectual' reads I went back to read the new PostSecret book by Frank Warren, and then the tried and true author Kathy Lette with Nip & Tuck. I'm already half way through another Kathy Lette book which means the next book off the rank will probably be something a little more 'substantial' like Steve Jobs or iCon.
Hopefully I will be able to relax poolside and do some reading on the cruise so I will be at least halfway through the 20 books come the end of June.
5. After such a great Gold Class experience last time (nothing to do with the amazing Ferrero Rocher sundaes of course) we went out to see Iron Man ... it was a great movie with enough action for the boys and comedy and lovey dovvey stuff for the chicks. Might have to get that one when it comes out on iTunes.
24. I will be ticking this one off in the next few weeks - when we visit Vila, Mare, Lifou and Noumea - don't know they are actually 'cities' but they are all new places to me :)
47. Take a mini break twice in 12 months {April 2012, May 2013}
Although a few days out this one is getting the tick as we also had a holiday in July/August last year and are away again in June this year. We headed down to a VERY cold Queenstown for a few days to celebrate Quinn's 4th birthday at the beginning of May. He had a great surprise when we told him we were getting on the plane.
Still, there's lots do do ... I am aiming for the blue items to be completed by the end of June ... time for some BIG decisions and to get my A-into-G on others...
