Coffee, cake and the impending seven year itch

Thought I would grab a moment while indulging in some coffee and cake - a friend's birthday brings this moist banana cake my way - aren't birthdays great?? :)

I told Tyler last night that I have started this blog and he was none too impressed. But I was stern and told him that he had his footy and I had my blog. I need to tame him - he is becoming unruly! Friends remind me of the 'seven year itch' - as we are heading into the seventh year for our marriage. I just remind them that it is simply a Marilyn Monroe movie - that is all.

Ty does not know my blog address however - as it is private - well to him anyway :) Secret Em Business! Very much like the conversations he and his mates have at the pub or footy. Secret Ty Business.

A little about me ...

This is my very first ever blog. I have never written a word about myself online before. I don't even have a Facebook account. I thought blogging would be more 'me', like a diary of my thoughts and to make some 'blogger' friends.

Well, I will tell you a little about me ...

I am a blonde (but not a dumb one I hope). I have blue eyes. I am 28 years old. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I am I79cm tall and weigh about 60kg - well, most of the time anyway :). I try to stay fit and healthy, usually by running and swimming, but I do like my food and love to cook. I work as a freelance designer in publishing and advertising agencies - which I love. I love camping, cycling and romantic movies - and sometimes a scary one - for a thrill. I love to travel and have recently visited Europe - but I don't get to travel as much as I would like. :( I love all types of music except for heavy metal - I really love that new track from Evermore "Truth of the World".

I own a home with my husband Tyler. We have been married for six years now - we have our ups and downs - always have - and to be honest, we are on a down at the moment. The passion in our relationship is waning - does this happen to other couples? How do they revive it? And he is the reason that I don't travel a great deal ... Tyler doesn't like to travel and would sooner "hang with his mates" at a BBQ or the footy :( Men!!

Anyway must dash. I am enjoying this!! tehehe
