Elana can match. As I've said in many previous blogs and comments Elana has a thing for the W's (not the awesome Christian band, but the letter magnets on our fridge) We gave her a second packet of letters for Christmas and so she has 2 of every letter. (except I took the letters that spelt her name E-L-A-N-A and put them on the fridge just above the point where she can reach) But now as well as the 2 W's (which are both blue) she has now started carrying around other letters both Q's which...

I went shopping with my best friend today which was great and we went to K-mart and Target and all over Indooroopilly ran into my in-laws and had a Boost and a kebab. I went with the sole purpose of trying to find an outfit for Christmas Day (boxing day actually) with the family and a pair of overalls for Elana to wear to her birthday party at the park. And do you think I could find anything? NO! I found some beautiful dresses and pants/top sets in Target, and a gorgeous overall dr...

After what seems like weeks of blockage and nothing to write about - Not even blogs about Elana - I seem to be on a role this morning and I can't seem to be able to stop saying every thought that comes into my head. And I still haven't written about my bad day. Or my irrational fears or the Chinese food I ate last night So bare with me as I continue to spill what seems to be verbal diarrhoea of my thoughts - My brain is spilling out but it's not articluating correctly the way I think ...

Thanks Brad and other admins who put the watch list feature on - All my articles are on watch list - which is how I know that I'm being spammed. I check my email notice that one of my old articles has been commented on and immediately I suspect spamming. And I'm right so I go straight to the article in question delete said spam and go about my day. Thanks Stardock!

It is 8:33am - Elana is sitting in a Breville Breadmaker box with some of her toys and I'm almost asleep. You see Elana refused to have a nap at anytime yesterday so she fell asleep on her bottle at 6pm last night - she drank half of it stopped drinking and rolled over (in her sleep) -- we put her to be about 6:45pm (her bedtime is 7pm) Last night I watched the Emmy Awards and the special on Channel 9 (I flicked) and was intending to watch some if not all of the Brownlow Medal awards. But...

It's 9:22am - I've been up since 6:30 and I'm having one of those who can be stuffed doing anything kind of days. The problem with the internet is you can't communicate HOW you're speaking so the person on the other end could take something you think you're saying calmly - as angrilly or incensed. To clarify - if anyone reads this -- I'm not taking sides - I understand it is anyone's perogitive to delete and blacklist whomever they want for whatever reason they wish. I did however agr...

After an EXTREMELY unmotivated bored out of my brain completely unproductive day, I'm dressed, the washing up is done and Elana's bottles are made. And it only took 8hours Normally I get up at 6:45am make Elana's cereal and Nick's sandwiches, put the kettle on for Elana's bottle and switch the coffee machine on. Then Nick goes to work at 8am and I wash the dishes from the night befores dinner and breakast, wash out and sterilise Elana's bottles, put her down for a sleep go put some clo...

It's kinda silly and I'm not crying anymore but I was about 2hours ago I had a pretty good day today - My parents came over and we took Elana to the park and then we had fish & chips for lunch afterwards. Got home and Nick got home a bit later and about 5ish Andy called to ask if I wanted to go to the hospital to see Jess - which of course I did. But 20seconds after I got off the phone I remembered I had a blocked nose -- I have that winter nose - actually its a winter and a summer nose -...

It was roughly this time 15 weeks ago (april 22) that I wrote my first blog - it seems like much longer and then again not that long ago. 107 articles 496 replies 6 pages (I remember being excited when it was just 2) Link numerous irrelevant comments on other peoples articles (I wonder if anyone has those numbers - I wonder who has the most comments in total ever) Since this is my 108th blog and 108 holds no significant importance to anything I'm just going to write about well noth...

My MSN looks funny right now -- this probably shouldnt be in any category but the ramblings of a silly girl category BUT the people online on my msn list are a bunch of irrelevant people - (including roc - I rock at fixing stuff which I totally misread when he first signed in) In00briated -- which is Mugz - I just mentioned that because if he read this and thought he was irrevelant he might get cut - but the people are irrelevant because they have nothing to do with Matchbox 20 Nick ...

There is no colour in the above selection that could represent a bowl of cocoa pops but since the bowl I ate them from was white with a blue rim - I choose to write in blue MMMM Cocoa Pops. It's 4pm on a Thursday afternoon - and I just finished my second bowl of cocoa pops. See I had breakfast this morning at 7:30 with Nick - he made bacon & eggs and toast - and I made that into a sandwich. MMM bacon & egg sandwiches - and then he went to work and I continued on with my day. About 10...

babies that turn intelligent people into babbling idiots? I find myself regularly speaking an octave or two higher then when I speak to "adults" when I'm speaking to Elana - I find myself speaking absolute jibberish -- and I don't mean too - Elana is a baby but she's intelligent just because we can't understand her doesn't mean she can't understand us - She knows what we're saying - so why do I find myself singing everything Oh look you smell so lets go change your nappy (diaper) -- and wh...

I have Matchbox 20 in my head - It just popped in - I was thinking about the first line I was going to type - what to say when suddenly "It's sitting by the overcoat, The second shelf, the note she wrote That I can't bring myself to throw away " I don't have a clue why that line popped in my head and I don't know my my mind skipped the rest of the verse and went on to "And I'm soTerrified of no one else but meI'm here all the time I won't go away " Reach down your hand in your pocket P...

I'd like to write a really profound thought provoking blog someday. But I doubt that day will come soon - but I still want to blog about something so in celebration of my own insane randomness I'm just going to keep talking about whatever pops into my head and post it. About 3 minutes ago I walked out into the lounge to turn the kettle on and the radio was on - it was All Star United - I love all star united but I'm not a fan of the particular song that was being played by the radio dj ...
