I was reading some of teegs' blog and I caught one about RSJ - how when you don't hear a song/album for a while that you really liked it's like catching up with an old friend - I feel exactly the same way - and the weirdest thing was that as I was reading that I was listening to a local radio station and I heard once such song - Boys 2 Men and Mariah Carrey - One Sweet Day. What IS it about songs and movies from your childhood that bring about such powerful memories. I don't know about you...

I think it's later now - the other day I was talking to someone and for reasons bemoaned in my last post about biscotti I can't say much which frustrates me no end - I can't even make up codes like James Bond - because because anyone who knows teegs knows who james is BUT she's talking about herself so she has every right to talk about that me i'm only talking about myself in how stuff effects me how I feel (besides frustrated) and if I said anything all the people who know james would also k...

I Love Days of the week songs!! - Manic Monday (The Bangles) and I don't like Mondays (Boomtown Rats) and Monday Monday (Mama's & the Papa's) Ruby Tuesday (Rolling Stones) Friday on my Mind (Easybeats) and Friday I'm In Love (Cure) Saturday Night (Jimmy Barnes) Saturday Night's alright for Fighting (Nickleback) Easy -like a Sunday Morning (Faith No More) But I haven't been able to find any Wednesday or Thursday songs - oh well Like I've stated previously I like TV - and generally a ...

Woke up this morning in a pretty good mood - which was good for Nick because I'm not a great morning person - sometimes I can be grumpy if I'm woken up and not left to wake up in my own time. Then I remembered my mum was coming to visit today which is always interesting. This week Elana was in a good mood, and mum was in a good mood which meant I also was in a good mood. Once again she told me something weird - last week it was that doey was "ready to talk to someone" - she reminded me abo...

(i so prefer verdana over arial) Okay - that last post s b4 m - was in response to dan's sex before marriage - I posted an exerpt of that post very quickly because while I was typing the longer version Nick came home. So I saved it here under sb4m and selcted the Just Me viewing audience and noon can respond boxes thinking that noone could read my half formulated thoughts and I could go back to them at a later stage and formulate it all properly. So I was kinda shocked when I saw a reply f...

Today is a very grumpy day! It's completely miserable weather all grey and threatening to rain any minute and today I'm feeling as bad as the weather. Last night my parents, 16 year old sister and her boyfriend and my mum's brother who's staying with them came over for dinner - and while it wasn't a very late night - they left around 9:30pm - it took alot out of me. We woke Elana up after they left and she happily drank about 150mls of her bottle and she was put back to bed - it took about 10...

I read that post by Dharma which made me cry and I went to the link and it broke my heart - especially that letter. Anyway I was talking on MSN to a friend of mine I've blanked out her name for anonymity but that conversation just made me so mad!!! I just felt she was being so apathetic because she's got a house a husband and child (as do I) **** says: hey trina says: http://www.gardenofangels.org go here - it broke my heart **** says: k **** says: u all set for tonight? tr...

Every second Saturday is market day at our house - we all get up nice and early and are out of the house by 6:30am This morning our walk was brisk because of the cold - Nick didn't think it was too bad I was frozen The Farmers Markets are held at a school that's about 5-10minutes walk from our house - so we did our first lap - where you check out what each store has and found that the mushroom man, spice lady, herb lady and the patisserie we buy breakfast from were all there today unlike t...

I was feeding Elana this morning - as I tend to do everymorning and I was singing along to the radio - bad habit I know anyway I was singing along to Jewels - Hands and everytime I got to the chorus she would look up at me and smile then giggle and then full on laugh - she would smile through the verses and laugh for the chorus. I didn't think I was that bad - I mean I'm never going to audition for Australian Idol but I thought my singing was tolerable - especially when I'm alone. She...

Hi, I feel like I haven't blogged in about a week although I know that it was Tuesday and today is Thursday (& I read the comments from jamie and mugz about the time they were posted by I didn't have any kind of response..still don't I guess) I like and don't like that my blog is a public forum as I've stated in the last 10blogs - I think it would be okay if there wasn't six degrees of separation. Unfortunately I know someone who know's someone who know's someone who knows someone who k...

I don't know what I want to say anymore - at least not in a public forum - I had that other blog up but it had me feeling even MORE negative stuff every time I looked at it so I took it down - sorry Dharma - thanks for replying though. I really wish there was someone on my MSN list who only knew ME and not anyone else I know - unfortunately it's 2:00pm on a Tuesday afternoon and most people are at work - that and I don't have anyone that actually fits that description........It was an inte...

OKay so I have this 21st party to go to tonight. I had a baby 5 months ago and I have nothing in my closest that fits or looks nice (IMO) - I didn't gain any weight - pre pregnancy I was 56kg during pregnancy I got as high as 70kg and post pregnancy I'm 48kg - which I haven't been since grade 10 I've gone from a 10 to a 12 to a 6 in a year. And the problem with this is the stores I like to buy clothes from - Target, K-Mart, Best & Less don't have anything less then an 8 (a 10 in some things)...

I was just visiting the blogs of the people I always drop by on a regular basis as opposed to ones I visit beause they write catching subject titles and I noticed that MY blog was a favourite of someone else - not tegan - but Jamie Burnside - so thankyou Jamie I'm honoured!!! And I feel loved! You've made my Thursday

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...
