:: All That Glitters ::

A few weeks ago Mr LG and I took off to the beach. We decided we needed to get away for a weekend and just relax. I love going to the beach. I think that, one day, I'd like to live closer to the ocean. But for now I'm happy to be a little over an hour away.

I love the way the sun glitters off the water. You've got to wonder if that's where the original creators of glitter came up with the idea.

Sunrise is my favourite time of day. It's so calm and serene. I'm lucky because on the East Coast, the sun rises over the ocean. Two of my favourite things rolled into one!

Yesterday was my blog's second birthday! Stay tuned for a combined birthday 100-followers give away!

I tend to get overly excited when I see a blog post where a blogger has posted a video of themselves. I love knowing what you all sound like, what faces you pull when you talk, do you move your hands around a lot (I do!) ...

So, with this in mind, I took a few little videos while I was at the coast for Easter. I got home and uploaded them to my computer to listen/watch and nearly died of shame. The video is of the beach and only my voice and really, after hearing what I really sound like ... I have no idea how I have any friends. My voice is so annoying! Does anyone else hate how they sound in videos? Worst.

A couple of years ago I visited some friends in Sydney and they could all tell I was from Queensland. Apparently that means I talk really fast and my voice is slightly nasal. Nice. I don't think I talk too fast in the video below, but in real life I think I probably do.

Okay, enough hesitating ... here's what I sound like!

PS. 106 followers? What? When?! Time for another give away soon, I think.
