This outfit really didn’t pan out that well and my photographer is losing interest in me as a model {translated as he just wants to take silly face pictures of himself}. I think this skirt needs to be saved for summer with a tank top …
This week has had a frantic feel, one of those weeks with a multitude of appointments, people to call, things to schedule, bills to pay…… sans husband of course. But Dave has been available via the inter webs to help me make a big decision …
It had been over 18 months since my last gym workout. A snappy, shitty 18 months that saw my stress levels hit an all time time high as we battled through an audit, a miscarriage and Dad’s cancer diagnosis which got the better of him after 9 months.
At the end of those dark days I had nothing left after I came home from work, tried to keep some semblance of a ‘normal’ home life and tried to be a good or at least average wife and mother.
I let myself forget about what made me feel good and have ended up at a point where I hate my body, feel completely weak and can’t remember what it is like to feel good about myself.
Despite the launch of the marvelous KFC Double Down Burger today, I have been changing my eating habits over the past few weeks and I went to my newly joined gym for the first time last night.
I was so nervous and self-conscious at first (which is ridiculous considering how much time I have spent in the gym over the years). Yet I settled into an awesome 50 min cardio workout and then did a 75min yoga class afterward.
I surprised myself, worked really hard and LOVED it!
Back again tonight for round 2, my new weights programme and more cardio. I have set myself a 5 kg weight loss goal with another 5 to go hopefully after that
There will be no fingers crossed this time because I just have to get it done, the big genes run thick and fast in my family and I’m determined not to see how many of them I picked up!
I am celebrating a wicked mothers day by blogging on my new iPhone! The stars have finally aligned and all my wishes come true. Aside from Ethan’s obession with my new phone (he assures me that 5 year olds need iPhones too) we had such …
I can’t even tell you how I found out about this little interwebs-game, but I did and I signed up and it was very interesting and fun. The basic premise of the GIE is that I interview the person who signed up before me, and …
I am soooooo excited about my vege garden this summer, I haven’t felt this excited since the summer of 2006 which is when we moved to opposite land and I couldn’t stop planting shit because we had a GARDEN AND WE DIDN”T LIVE IN AN APARTMENT!!!!
Anyway, here is what I have planted so far;
This thing is going off, see those lil baby zuchs!
This is the sunny bed out of the two, L to R I have, tomato, rosemary, zuch, tom, lettuce, zuch, eggplant, tom, zuch, lettuce, thyme, lettuce, capsicum x2, parsley in the herb patch and swan plant for Ethan to grow monarchs on.
This is the shadier bed which I have left pretty empty for the 2nd batch of seedlings coming soon. In here I have cucumber, 4 tomato plants, zuch and scarlet runner beans. At the back under the bird cloth are my 6 strawberry plants.
This is my little seedling operation down at the pool shanty. The spa is enclosed with big glass doors so it is super warm and sheltered for the babies. In the big pot on the left is a habenero pepper which is kicking ass, more scarlet runners are in the hanging basket, the bushy pots are heaps more toms (god kows where I will put them all), then there are tonnes more capsicums, eggplants, zuchs and basil.
It has rained for almost 5 hours straight today so I can’t wait to go out tomorrow and see how much everything has grown, LOVING this time of year and loving that we have charged our planting and are looking pretty good for a fruitful harvest, if not a little late, but hey.
The nice flip-side of my darling boy growing up and starting school dawned on me today. I mean, I realise that there are many flip-sides such as the confirmation that Dave and I have seemingly done a great job these past five years and have …
…..but I made it through. I went to work and picked Ethan up from kindy at lunch time and shopped for Halloween party snacks and face paint and pumpkins and came home and carved my first Jack ‘O Lantern and painted my first Cheetah face …

Bye to everyone!
Hmm, your list of available narcotics is …..ok…..but where’s the rest of the alphabet, what about Mummy’s Little Helpers? V is for Valium and X is for Xanax. You are doing the drug trade a huge diservice by only stocking products A-D!
