No. 14 - Adopt a kitten




Meet Chase. The newest little Sol member. Over the last 4 weeks my life has totally been turned upside down, and everything I knew and loved has been taken away from me... So one day I am online, and see that this little guy was found on the side of the road by a lovely woman. She told me that he was run over by not one, but four cars... Luckily and by the biggest miracle, he survived, and was not by any of them. (5 lives left!) She pulled over, and picked him up, but couldn't keep him.


Ta Da.


In comes me, and suddenly my life is a whirlwind of crazy ginger stripes, and waking up with a little purring monster on my head at all hours. Words cannot express how he has helped me, and made me so happy these past few days.

The 30 Bucket list.

in exactly 5 months, I will be 30... and as every year my resolution is always to do more, procrastinate less, live life etc. this time- I have a deadline... and what better reason than to find myself after 18 months of marriage, to suddenly be single again.

One thing I think so many of us do when we get into relationships, is we loose our essence... what makes us amazing. You become a "we", and there is nothing wrong with that as long as you maintain your core spirit.

Well this is my way of finding out what makes me happy again... and discovering opportunities over the next 5 months in as much as I can!

So the list I will document and cross off as I go along...
