A Little About Me....






Well, I've finally done it. Put my butt into gear and given the 'blog' thing a go!
A little about me....



Sabrina


I live in a gorgeous little house
in outer Melbourne with
my 11 year old daughter Sarah
(I call her 'Floss'), my 2 lovable hounds
Mr Badge and Sabrina and
my 2 cockatiels Rastas and Tilly.
I'm on a 'backyard blitz' frenzy at the
moment and am really enjoying making
the backyard a nice, cosy place to spend
lovely summer evenings with friends,
good wine and a great BBQ!




Mr Badge

I've recently turned 31 last month and had a fantastic night of laughs and great company. I scored a heap of Bunnings gift vouchers for my birthday so have been going crazy like a kid in a toy store in Bunnings gettings some great things for the house.

I've also just started another job which is a 9 month contract at a place that I couldn't see myself working at forever so the 9 month thing works well!
Ultimately, I'd like to get into a humanities focussed job - preferably where I can make a difference in the world for people with disabilities.

Life's generally great for me at this point in time. I got well and truly 'jack' of the extra weight I was carrying so I've been on a new lifestyle of newfound health and weight loss. So far it's going well and I'm thoroughly enjoying putting on my pants that are getting too big for me!

Floss came home from her 3rd day back at school the other day saying she thinks she's in for a chance to be selected for the school ISSE (exchange student) program to Japan this year. I'm really excited at the thought of it and have made myself a promise that if she's selected, I'll head off back to Samoa by myself while she's away.
Sarah and I have been to Samoa two years in a row
and I really feel like it's my second home.

We've gone for her 10th and 11th birthdays and it
will be great for me to be able to head off there on
my own this time to do the things you just can't do
when you have a kiddie around (like find myself a
gorgeous Samoan demigod? he he).

Floss and I stay the most of our time in a little
village in Savaii called Manase with our dear
friends Grace (Leitu) and Peisi Tanu. Not a day
passes when I don't think about the next time
I go back there. Can't wait to return!
