Lets play tag

glo girl tagged me. Here it is...

The rules are : List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Dont forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

Yah thanks for that. I've spent all w/e trying to come up with something. I asked DH if he could help me out. I could see his face change as he thought of things, but would he share - NO! Maybe he thought it was safer that way.

All right so here I go...in no particular order of weirdness.

1. I like to keep my pantry very straight and neat. I have all tupperware containers and can't stand things being in the packets, I take them out of the packets and put them into the tupperware containers.
2. When I type if I make a spelling mistake or leave a letter out I erase all the letters with the backspace key to get back to the one that is wrong/missing then type them all again. I know I could use the mouse or the arrows to insert the letter, but I don't.
3. Every morning I weigh myself. I get up, use the toilet and then weigh myself and then wash my hands. In that order. Feels weird if I try to convince myself not to.
4. I will cook up a storm in the kitchen before cleaning the storm in the kitchen.
5. I stick all my photos to my pages when they are blank before adding anything else, just with a little peice of adhesive in the middle and then will take them off again later when completing the page.


So who to tag... V, Chrissy (because your blog hasn't been touched since April), Agent713, and if Mel and Nell got a blog for themselves then I could tag you too.

Its been a full on day today, although when are my days not like that? Its 10:15pm and I've just finished my chores. Today TJ had dancing, then the kids had a swimming carnival, inbetween I raced home and made a picnic lunch for them, Then this afternoon, it was get in the washing, make dinner, do TJ's hair in rags for tomorrow and wash it, wrap her present for tomorrow, wrap the present for BMW to take to the birthday party, make the birthday card. ::sigh:: And somewhere this afternoon I fitted in going to the shop, buying said pressies and getting extra holes punched in the tie of her new shoes for tomorrow.

BMW got 3 2nds at the carnival, TJ got a 4th, 5th, 3rd, 6th and a participation ribbon. Nath didn't swim.

Oh and tomorrow - my girl is doing her First Holy Communion. I'll post a pic tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be gorgeous in her white gown and shoes and headpeice. Hopefully she won't pull a face at the taste of the bread. lol

Anyways shower time for me, gotta steam up the bathroom and try and get the creases out of her dress. Lata!

BLOG CHALLENGE: Acrostic

This challenge was set by Cowtown Stacey on SS.

W: whirlwind. This is how I feel my life is on most days.
E: enjoyment. I really am trying to enjoy those little special things that just happen.
N: nice. I'm not the person that someone would travel miles to be with, but people don't dislike me either. I'm just 'nice'.
D: dreams. I have lots of dreams. Some will be revealed soon.
Y: youthful. I do try and keep up with the kids, and I am certainly younger than lots of other people around here I know. And how many other things start with y apart from yellow!?!

today...

today they are laying bitumen in the coldesac (sp?) at the end of the street. they are making a mess, but it is getting done

today I gave the workers a small thrill as Nath wanted to check out the machines and we had just got out of the pool. Bikini top and boardies. Not so hot, but it made them stop and look.

today it is really hot. 31degC. Blimey what will summer be like?

today I finished TJ's headpeice for her communion on the w/e. It looks lovely.

today I am going to take the kids to the beach after school so DH can get some sleep. The trucks have kept him awake all morning out in the street.

today I did a load of washing and remembered to hang it out 5 hours later

today I mulched around the palms I planted on the weekend

today I treated DH with hamburgers and chips for lunch which I picked up while out doing some chores.


And its only 2pm. More of today left yet.

All caught up

Ahhh, finally caught up. Yes its taken all morning - with a trip to school to drop the kiddies off, and to the hardware store for the pool chemicals, but I am finally caught up - on glo-girls blog. ::smiles::

So since I don't have the time to comment on everything I wanted to, glo this 'tis 4 u.
1. bananas: cost a fortune because of the cyclone that wiped them all out earlier this year. Hopefully the price will be reasonable again by Christmas. I am so hanging for a banana!
2. I also love spring. I feel like I am smiling everyday. And I luv your happy pics.
3. Nettles hurt. I got one it my butt one time when trying to have a squat whilst camping. Not fun!
Oh there was more but I can 'member right now.

Thanks for the email on how to refresh. Took about 5 minutes before the dumb 'puter would do it. I so gotta clear some space on this laptop. Its not happy.

I've been creating lat night. Its still spread across the kitchen table. I've oficially taken over 3 rooms now, the study - aka my happy place, the dining room and kitchen table. I so love it. I need a trip to the lss for some more goodies. I am craving some cute embellishments. I am hanging out to share, but I want to wait until its finished.

Chrissy shared pics of her new happy room. So I was thinking I need to buy myself some desk lamps and actually work back in my study. Something to cover the doorway would be cool too. One of those frangipani bamboo things.

On another note, my Mum retired last week. Her birthday was the Thursday , a week and a half ago, and she retired on the Friday. So I spent most of last week with her. It was actually pretty cool which was nice. Although we did clean my house. She doesn't stop when tired, so I had to keep going until I was ready to drop! Sad part is, although still tidy, it needs cleaning again. ::frown::

So on that cleaning part I've got a stack of dishes to wash, floor to sweep and the patio man coming over soon to give us the quote on finishing the rest of our awning. Better make sure I sit down for that one. Oh and I have to iron. I hate ironing.

Yesterday we gardened. We are moving part of the pool fence to accomodate the water slide that Santa bought last year. So that meant creating a new garden so we can move some of the pavers to go under the slide, and move the plants out of the garden - the ones that were actually growing and surviving this drought. I only have 2 weeks to water them with a watering can and then on October 1st we go to level 4 water restrictions and can't water at all. I so hope they survive. They are gardenias - my favourite.

All right, better go clean up.

::mwah:: !!
