National BBQ Day

I strew some toys on the floor of her bedroom and a couple in the hallway and she has followed the toys and is no away from the front door and sitting quietly on her bedroom floor playing with her inflatable tiger pool, an empty cd case and an old envelope -- these are not the toys I put down for her to play with by the way

How can I make my little girl understand that no matter how long she sits at the front door smiling laughing and calling his name that it's only 11am and her Daddy won't be home from work untill dinner time. Everytime I bring her back down and try to distract her with books and toys songs and games - a few minutes later and she's off again - I try and explain Daddy won't be home for HOURS but she just looks up at me with a grin and turns back to the door just waiting waiting waiting

That's the official word from my doctor. A couple of weeks ago when I took Elana to have her 6 month checkup and innoculations (at 8 months) my doctor remarked how thin I was and that if I lost any more weight I should come in and get my thyroid checked. When I couldn't fit into my jeans the other day - it was so bad that I went shopping in one pair of jeans bought a new pair and wore them around the store then home - I had to go into 5 different stores looking for the right fit - finally...

In a weird twist the bottom three were Marty, Hayley and Dan (not Daniel) -- I really like Dan alot -- he sang really well in the auditions process, I loved his Josh Kelly - his Screaming jets wasn't terrible but I didn't like his Creed. It's sad to see him go and I think once again Australia has made a mistake (but they are keeping Chanel Courtney & Daniel -- for this week at least) oh well - i better call the doctor and see if my results are back... do I want to know?

After many many years being more then four years behind the United States Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless are playing catchup Today at 1pm (and tomorrow at 1pm) there will be a one hour special where they catch up the last four years storylines and tie up all the loose ends before screening episodes that are only 6-9months behind America. Last week on DOOL - Abe agreed to adopt Marlo's baby making Lexie (and Stefano) pretty happy, Kate is having an affair with Nicholas -- whi...

Okay I have my favourites -- and if any of them leave I think Australia needs a kick in the head Top 4 in 5 weeks time Should be Daniel Belle, Chanel Cole, Marty Warrell and Courtney (what's his last name?) tonight was the Pop show Beginning with Casey's version of Don't speak by No Doubt -- I like Casey - I've liked her last two performances but I don't think she hit the mark tonight -- she was okay but not brilliant. Next was Dan - he sang Higher by Creed -- it was pretty passe ...

I just rang my medical centre to get an appointment for tomorrow with my doctor and since moving I haven't had to go but we've taken Elana. So Elana's address records have changed but mine have not (and Nick's wouldn't have either) So when the receptionist (Ben) asked me if it was Stanley Terrace I froze - I knew it was wrong but I couldn't remember the right address. I said my house number but was unsure if I even said the right one - He said they'd put a tracer out there for me -both number...

I think it's safe to say that at 9months my daughter already has a strong personality - she's very dominent - Bossy even. In the past couple of weeks she's been dictating her own pattern -- Bottle at 11am - sure okay but I'm going to drink it on and off until 1:30 -- and I probably won't finish it This is because I'm mobile - I can roll over to both sides, I can crawl, I can creep, I can sit up and bop on my bottom and I can stand on my hands and feet - with all this movement I can do -...

Just because I can I decided to tell the whole world that I'm eating lunch today (a rare occurance in itself) And I'm having a pie - frozen - defrosted in the microwave for 3mins 30 secs - cut the top off mix in tomato sauce put top back on and put more sauce on - in a shape - Four & Twenty made Australia - I had a love heart today. Meatpies (homebrand) were a main staple of my sister and my after school afternoon tea existence -- my sister would probably have at least one if not two eve...

I was watching Neighbours last night for the first time in a couple of weeks and they were introducing a new character - who was clashing with Sky -- and Nick walks in the room and says "Oh it's the lesbian" and I said What? What are you talking about? He's like "yeah I read it on News.com.au - she's a lesbian. I thought - News.com.au reported that Neighbours was going to have a lesbian character? This isn't news -- It's not even new. Home & Away had lesbians like 5 years ago (Shan...
