Answers to some questions

  • No, I didn't do the half-marathon yesterday. The weather was actually almost perfect - very cold, but no rain and only a gentle breeze. I went down and cheered on a couple of guys I knew who were doing the run, then raced home to watch the All Blacks game (truth be told, that may be the real reason I didn't do it; have to watch the games live).
  • Yes, my eyes are that blue. I don't wear coloured lenses.
  • Yes, I'm pretty sure you do still sweat while doing aqua kickboxing. I didn't go bright red in the face like I do with normal kickboxing, but I did have this somewhat repulsive clammy feeling while in the water - guessing that was sweat!
  • No, the imminent onset of the empty nest is not tempting me to have another child. Get over it people! I'm 41. I'm waiting for grandbabies.
  • Yes, I was expecting to be in Sydney this month. Not happening for all sorts of reasons. Vague discussions about November. You'll be the second to know.
  • Yes, you can touch the bottom in aqua kickboxing.
  • Yes, I was overweight for a long time. I am now the lightest I have been since before I had Jake, but was seriously overweight for 13 years.
  • No, this is not the thinnest Mark has ever seen me. We had a brief 'fling' when I was 20 and size 12. Didn't get together till six years later, when I was a solo Mum and about a size 16.

Anything else you'd like to know?

My god, I can't even imagine having a child now. I get seriously stressed when I hear about people my age having kids. I'm more than happy to wait for grandkids and hopefully then not for a long time.

Yes, next time you are in Auckland would you like to have coffee? :-) Lol.

Couldn't think of anything worse than a baby at 41! You can always hand grandkids back:)

I think it's great that you and Mark found each other again after 6 years... (I'll be 40 next year but still planning on another baby - eek, I know - I have rocks in my head!!)

Yes... what color nail polish are you wearing? LOL! (jk)

You and I can wait around to be grandma's together! I've been waiting for 8 years already ... but that makes sense ... cuz I'm 49! I can't believe somebody thought that you really MIGHT be interested in having another baby now.... ESPECIALLY after just having lost all that weight! ;)

Kt said...

um, no, no more questions right now :)

A baby? At 41? Um, NO. I would check you into a mental institution if you suggested anything of the sort. My dad reckons that if he's known how much fun grandchildren were going to be, he would have had them first...

Aqua kickboxing sounds FUN!

Yes - has your sense of humour always been this sharp :D

Wait ... Mark isn't Jake's dad?
