I have many of these... happy places i mean. One of the most predominant ones is in the kitchen cooking - i LOVE to cook and enjoy it even more when it is received well and gobbled up by my 2 taste testers. I am always being asked for the recipes i use (which are mostly from cook books and magazines but who cares?) and i enjoy giving them to whoever asks cause' it means they will also enjoy the yummy food we are!
Tonight i made Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Pies (not spicy at all) and they were YUMMY and better yet, the boys devoured them! AND even better there are leftovers so they can be thrown in the freezer for Child Care days. I made Zucchini Slice the other night, another great one for the lunch box! I think i will blog about food more often, it is one of my many passions and some what of an outlet for me... just like blogging.
My family and close friends are also happy places for me... i can't wait for Christmas and New Years - i get to spend some awesome quality time just hanging out with my family and some of my bestest friends. It's only an added bonus that their is gift exchanging (for the record - prefer giving over receiving, seeing the look on the other person's face when they open their gift takes the cake, given they love what they get of course) and alcohol involved hehe. In saying that, this year is going to be 'quiet' for us... it will more than likely just be myself and my 2 boys, my parents, my younger brother and my grandparents. My older brother, sister in law (SIL) and 2 nephews are heading to Whyalla to see my SIL's family for Christmas this year. Quiet but good... sitting outside at Mum and Dad's on the deck looking out over the pool, drinking some bevvy's and enjoying good food and laughs - i think i can deal with that :D!
I love to read, always have... reading a good book on a rainy day, snuggled up in a blanket with a hot cuppa sitting next to me is definitely a happy place!
I have many other happy places too... some im not willing to divulge into on here :p but for now, i need to go and study for my last 2 exams... one tomorrow morning and another Monday afternoon and then im done (aside from placement of course) until next year. Oh, and don't even get me started on next semester, i have NO idea how i will get through it! *sigh*
Best of luck with the exams, you'll do fine :)
