Five Happy Moments - Simple 29/08

I’ve only missed my post by one day! I’m sorry ;; But yesterday was a day filled with art, walks and baking, so I do apologize.

So now! This is my list of five happy moments this fortnight.

Remember! We grateful for the little moments in your life, as well as the major ones.

1. My friends and the zoo.

Not so much a moment, but a whole day! My first time ever to Taronga Zoo! Well, the first time I’m actually aware that I’m there. I don’t get why parents take their children to the zoo when they won’t even remember it… anyway!

James and Lucy and I went to the zoo! We saw lions and tigers and a sleeping bear, elephants and Meerkats and a little baby hippo. We ate Woolworthes hot chicken with Taronga zoo fries on a free newspaper. We saw a bird show and I had a coin taken from me by a cheeky cockatoo. I DIDN’T get sun burnt, we bought Lucy a lion fridge magnet, and James bought me a plushie Red Panda because we could not find them in the park. It was a great day.

2. Walks by myself in the sunshine.

Yesterday was one of the few days I got to spend by myself. I could do whatever I wanted. So around lunchtime, I went for a walk. It was a really nice day, all I took was my Ipod and my wallet, and I walked up to the local shops and bought an ice-cream and some lunch. Out in the sun, I was able to forget for a little while that Buxton is where I am, and didn’t feel quite so trapped.

3. Weird meals.

By saying that I bought lunch, it really meant that I browsed through our local corner store in search of something that could be made into some sort of an excuse for a meal.

You know, those meals that you would never ever EVER attempt to even make when others are around? That only really taste good to you and no one else?

I enjoyed my rice noodles with chicken, pineapple, egg, sesame seeds, smothered in sweet chili sauce with a glass of peach tea cordial on the side.

Don’t look at me like that, you all have one.

4. Wasting three quarters of my newly bought credit on one phone call.

You know, you have those days that start off really good, you spend it by yourself because you need that time alone, but then everyone else in the house comes home from work and outings and ruins your peace.

This was my day yesterday.

I would have loved to have gone to bed last night with that feeling of peace and have everyone else come in after me, but that wasn’t how it is. Sure, my Aunt and Uncle took me to the movies to see a movie that my Aunt really wanted to see, I didn’t have to pay for it and she even bought me a choctop and some popcorn, but when you’re down about something, you really don’t see things that way. This is not to say that I don’t appreciate what they did, I do, I really do, going out with an adult male and a female figure is very foreign to me. Sure it wasn’t a movie I was very thrilled to see, but we did something as a family, and I miss doing that.

I was missing James so terribly, I was missing everything, he was out with his cousins having dinner and I wished more than anything that I was there with him. So to somewhat quash that feeling inside of me, I used up three quarters of my newly bought credit and spoke to him as long as I could.

It was worth it.

5. Seeing Mum eat a whole Large McDonald’s Chocolate Sundae.

I’ve seen too much of my mother not touching her food, and to see her finally eat a whole Chocolate sundae? It was fantastic. But they screwed us on the chocolate. More next time!!

I hope to post something of interest soon, I’m starting a scrapbook soon, as per my list, so I might do something on that, my first entry will be about the zoo. I’ve even kept all the receipts!
