It's A's birthday today! I have such trouble thinking of presents for birthdays, christmases and anniversaries and get a little stressed about it sometimes. Especially Christmas, when A will tell me weeks and weeks in advance that he's got everything sorted for me and spends the next weeks and weeks asking if I've worked out what it is! Often I do work it out but when I do I pretend I haven't!
Anyway, I think I've done well this time. There is an adventure race on this weekend in Canberra and I've entered a team. I know he'll be stoked because he's mentioned it a few times in previous years and normally it's not something I'd put my hand up for so he'll like that I'm going out of my comfort zone a bit! That is one of the downsides, the other is the forecast of rain but can't help that and we are going to get wet anyway, I believe it involves some kayaking and tubing down a river. I did only enter us in the novice race so the notes say it should be only about 2 hours long. 10km of biking, 3 of running and 3 of paddling. I thought the 5-6 hour version might have been a bit much for a first go!
I went to get a card and realised that, for the first time, I could buy one that said 'husband'. They were all so terribly soppy that I worried I'd need to buy a bucket to go with the card. But, I bought one anyway. Why not?
Off to cook birthday dinner - roast tandoori chicken, hope it's yummy. Luckily A wanted a cake from a particular shop that doesn't open work friendly hours so he went out specially to buy his own birthday cake. He won't tell me what flavour it is but boy is he excited about it!
Hope you are all having a lovely week!
