Best Night's Sleep

...Last night I went to a Perfume Party and really enjoyed it, which is surprising since I am not really a perfume person. I felt like I was actually doing something for me for a change.....I found a couple of perfumes I liked and even.....wait for it.....booked a party myself!!!
I haven't bought any perfume since we got married....24 years ago....cos hubby gets headaches from most perfumes. He will just have to get used to it when I finally get my new perfume! LOL

The surprising thing is that I had the best nights sleep I have had since my op???? I actually slept in and didn't wake until 7.30am which is unknown for me. I am nearly always an early riser....somewhere between 4am and 6.30am depending on what's going on in my life. Is there a connection, I wonder???

A Good Inside by the Fire Day!

Morning All, well today is cold and wet again.........a great day to be by the fire. We have had so much rain recently that surely the drought we have experienced for the past 10 years must be over. The storages are at last filling although nowhere near full it is promising to say the least.

Today I am home alone, it is so quiet and peaceful I just want to soak it up. I'm sitting here with a cuppa and surfing the net. What a life!
There are heaps of things I should be doing but what the heck.....they'll keep. Lol.

Will get the knitting needles out and do some knitting while I watch the midday movie.

Cheers, hope you have a great day too.

Time Flies!!

Well here it is almost a week since we went to Melbourne........and I feel that I have achieved so little......the week has been full of trying to get washing dry. The weather has been very wet and icy cold.....just LOVE it but it is so hard to get the washing dry LOL. Oh well can't have it both ways.
Spent yesterday at the footy and only 1 out of 4 teams won...Jamies team has made it to the finals...they have one more game to play but cannot go out of the top 4 teams. Yay!
Brenton's team not so lucky and haven't made it to the finals this year.
It was freezing and blowing a gale at the footy yesterday but i did manage a few rows of the knee rug that I am knitting. Almost halfway now.

Haven't done any scrapping at all this week either.....everyday I've thought today is the day but then life has got in the way. Grrr. Maybe this week????

It is so hard to believe that we are halfway through August already, it'll be Christmas again before we know it.
Only 132 days to go.......yikes!
Best get off this computer and do some work,

cheers

A Big Day Out

Sunday saw us off to Melbourne for the day, weather was good although it was very windy in some of the alley ways in Melbourne. First stop was William Angliss TAFE where we enjoyed looking around and finding out more about the school and what it offers for our 17ish year old son. Then we walked down to Spencer St. DFO and had a poke around all the shops followed by a wander around the Victoria Market. It's years since I have done so much walking and certainly the most walking I have done since I had my knee replacement 3 months ago. I was rapt in how well it stood up to the task.
All in all a fantastic day.

Just Wanted to Share.......

I received this email this morning and thought it was hilarious so decided to share it with you. Hope you like it as much as I did!

A mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, and everything was picked up. Then, she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow.

It was addressed, 'Mum'. With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

'Dear, Mum.

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you.

I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew
you would not approve of her, because of all her piercings, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Mum. She's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Mum, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday,I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your many grandchildren.

Love, your son, Nicholas.

PS: Mum, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house.

I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than

the school report that's on my desk..

I love you!

Call when it is safe for me to come home

I've been BUSY!

Woohoo, I managed to do another 3 pages in my 52 weeks of 2010 so am gradually catching up and just loved completing the challenges.

I had fallen way behind when I had my knee replacement but am trying desperately to catch up. Have only another 9 challenges to go and I will be up to date.

I also managed to complete Courtenay's bean bag so that's one job I can wipe off my To Do list. Yay!!

Will put up photos just as soon as I find the USB cord for my camera cos the pics are on the camera's internal memory and not the memory card. :(
I went to the place where I always put the cord and sure enough found all the cords for the other cameras but not for mine. Don't you just hate that when it happens? It seems to happen quite often here......
