"I knew you were going to say that!"

This is a phrase James and I often say to each other. Another common one is, "I was just thinking that too!"

I find it fascinating that after 3 years of marriage (we celebrate our 3rd anniversary a week from today) we often think the same thing at the same time. This phenomenon becomes particularly apparent when travelling in the car or during ad breaks on TV, when one of us will make a particular observation, to which the other will respond, "that's what I was just thinking!"

Even less coincidental is when an event or observation reminds both of us of the same thing that needed doing or discussing. The two may be mildly related but are unrelated enough to still generate surprise that the other was thinking the same thing.

And then there's that ability we seem to possess to accurately predict the other person's reaction to an event, comment or joke.

Is it just us or does it happen to you too?

My boss showed it to me at work today. The amount of control Aaron has over his body is amazing - in his own words, he "performs ballet on a rope".

My boss is having an official launch party for our new studio and this guy will be performing at it. Cool!

Another thing - I now feel like an official part of the team. My profile is on the website and everything! If you want to check it out, send me a message or email and I'll email you the link. I just don't want to put it here for the world to see cos it's got my work address and everything on it.

Been Offline A While... here's why

Sorry, friends. I know I've barely been around in Multiply/BlogSpot/Facebook world. I've been at work. As of late my average waking time is 4:30am (for a 6am start at work). I've transformed from "I'm not a morning person" to "7am is a major sleep-in for me"!

... and I'm often in bed by 8:30pm.

Oh, and I now work 6 days a week.

Most other people would find this tiring. Apart from often being well and truly ready to go to bed by dinnertime, I am loving my current situation.

At one point in my life, I wanted to study to become a doctor. But now I'm glad I didn't. I wanted to do it to "help people". But what I'm doing now helps people too! I believe that what I am doing is saving lives... Sure, I'm no heart surgeon. But I'm playing my part in helping to reduce the number of people who need a heart surgeon - one life at a time.

And this is what wakes me up and pulls me out of bed on a cold, frosty Saturday morning at 4:30am (that and my husband, who is so dedicated to supporting me that he also gets up with me!)

What does it take to get YOU out of bed?
