The Meaning of Life?

Hi

I indulged my inner child this weekend. There's a shop where you can pick a teddy bear, have it stuffed, give them a voice and then buy them outfits. I may be thirtysomething years old, but something inside kept crying out for one of these little chaps. So the latest addition to our family is Steve; up to now he has an England tshirt, jeans and trainers, a tshirt that says 'Whatever', a wizard (Harry Potter style) outfit and a postman outfit.

Maybe he's my substitute child, I don't know, my hubby thinks I'm daft, but what's wrong with being a bit daft every once in a while?

I've been watching a programme today (Xfiles) and there was a genie granting everyone who found her three wishes. However, every time someone wished for something it didn't turn out as they expected - Mulder wished for world peace and the genie just got rid of all the people.

It made me think - if I had three wishes, what would I wish for? Money, my late father, special powers? I don't think any of these would bring me true happiness in the end, even without the inevitable catch - and there's always a catch. When you think about it, it's not a very easy question to answer is it.

What would you wish for???

I was dreading today. I finished work on Friday thinking today would be awful however, as it turns out it has all been fine, great in fact. So my words of wisdom for today are 'always look on the bright side of life!' It's rarely as bad as it seems and even if things do go wrong you might as well be happy beforehand.

Well, I've taken the plunge and signed up for my very own blog. Don't know much about them yet, but I'm sure I'll pick it up. The first challenge will be to find a photo that won't scare you all away!

As my profile says, I've been happily married to Mark for 15years. We've no kids, but several animals. As well as four cats, I have a hamster called Lex. I sadly lost my rabbit, Gracie earlier this year.

I enjoy reading, walking, arts and crafts, and I've just joined a gym. I'm a bit of a hippy and I love Sci Fi. My favourite shows are Charmed, Smallville, Invasion, Bones and Doctor Who. I've also just got hooked on Lost.

Anyway that's all for now. CL
