So in general, my life isn't that interesting, really. Come to think of it, I think it could have been better but then again, who knows, right?

I'm sitting in the French Lady's kitchen typing on the Mac listening to kids talk about make believe play with Ken and Barbie while the French Lady and her friend are chatting in the lounge with a cup of tea. I still must say, though, the MacBook has an amazing font on it. Just love the way things are displayed on screen. +D

Today is a grey and cloudy day.

And having read this article on the Stuff website a while back, I guess if this is true, then the deadline has just been shifted to 35.

So how do I live life to the fullest within the next twelve years?

Maybe I should try and start ticking things off that above list.
