My Life. The Blogable Bits.

Well today is day 9!!!!!!!!!! I cant beleive that I have not let one morsel of chocolate pass my lips!!! I am so excited and happy! Only ONE more day to go until I have broken the habit! WOOHOO!!!!! My waist is enjoying it also – the squeeze into my workpants isn’t so tight! The walking has also helped that though!

We have put our Christmas lights up! I am so excited about Christmas! I bought 4 sets of lights this year to go with our one and only set for outside!

I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS TIME IN 4 WEEKS IT WILL BE CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!!!!

Scary but true….. LOL!!!!!

So I have decided to make some festive food this year! Starting with some Gingerbread Houses and Chocolate Fudge! I will have to make a practice batch first though! LOL!!!!!

Found a great recipe for dinner tonight – Chicken and Dumplings. I admit – I am obsessed with food lately….. well cooking food anyway!

Stephen ‘guessed’ what I was going to buy him for Christmas. He was spot on too! I wonder how he knew…..

Well the smart**** has found that if he asks me questions as I am just switching from the awake to asleep mode that I answer them!!!!! GGRRRRR!!!!!!!

I cant believe he asked me and because I was semi unconcious I told him!!!!!!!!!!!

Now what am I going to buy him for Christmas????

I know you read this Steve, so guess what you are getting???

NOTHING!!!!!!!

Serves you right you sneaky bugger!!!!!

I am on day 6 Moi!!!! Almost there!!!!! Only 4 more days to go!!!! But after the 10 days I am going to aim for another 10 days!!!

Chocolate – the old faithful friend of the thighs – I have jumped on the wagon and given it up! I simply refuse to fall off the wagon! Refuse! And now its written here I have to keep up high on the wagon!

I have still been walking and I am really enjoying it! Nothing like my ancient walkman to keep me company!

So I am slowly changing my lifestyle for the better and I am feeling great!

Kate usually doesn’t eat dinner. It frustrates me to no end! I myself was getting bored with the meat and 3 veg thing too and subsequently we had been having a lot of ‘throw in the oven’ things. So I decided to turn to my old friend Google and do a search for dinner recipies and he found Betty. Betty Crocker. My new saviour.

It has a recipie box that stores your favourite ones. I printed 2 off and headed for the shops. Armed with the Pasta Primavera and Lemon Basil Chicken and Vegetable recipies I picked up the necessary ingredients.

I made the pasta.
Kate ate all her dinner and wanted it for tonights dinner too.
I love you Betty!!!!!

I have some other good news, no I am not pregnant, but will tell you all as soon as I am allowed!

*Sigh of relief*
This layout has taken me a week to complete!!! I am so glad I have finished it as I was starting to get bored of it…. but I am extremely happy with the way it turned out! Click on the layout for a closer look!

Journalling reads: Kate, if I had one dollar for every time I have said “no blood, no bandaid” to you I would be a rich mummy! You are the biggest hypochondriac just so you can have a bandaid! You point out bumps that dont exist just for a bandaid! I dont know why you like them so much but it is turning into a fashion statement!

Yesterday afternoon we went to Luna Park! Neither Stephen or I had been before so it was as exciting for us as it was for Kate and Luke!

Well it is a long story……
But lucky for you I will abbreviate it! LOL!

Hairdresser was late which was ok since she didnt know she had an appointment at all the day before! She tried to give me an 80′s hairstyle. I was so close to tears it wasn’t funny! Lucky Felicity came to my rescue and got her to change it! But fair dinkum she teased my hair so much that I thought I was going to have to CUT it out!!! Anyway it ended up looking ok but a little messy from all the teasing.

The makeup lady cancelled my appointment because I forgot the trial appointment. Oh well she made room for us and I have to admit she did a great job!

Flowers were just stunning – once I found the florist! I was so close to tears at this point but seeing those gorgeous flowers put me at ease – a little.

Got back to the cabin to dress at like 10.35 – ummm the wedding was supposed to start AT 10.30! Anyway we throw on our clothes and go!!!

We get to the wedding about 20 minutes late. As soon as I got there I burst into tears! I am just putting that down to stress though! But I quickly got over it and then the wedding commenced.

It was truely beautiful and I am very happy to now be an old maid!

The only thing I am dissapointed with is that a friend was supposed to bring his video camera and he didnt, I would have taken mine otherwise, so I only have photos. Oh well…. I guess I wouldnt have really watched it anyway….. *sigh*

And since you were so good reading all that…… here’s a photo of the newlyweds……

I am an optimist! I truely am!
Thats why when I saw a link to this site I thought it might be funny….. and sure enough…..
