busy once again :o)

A & I went on a date on saturday, went to the movies & saw 'Wild Hogs' too funny well worth the admission price. after we went down to High street there was a festival on with a parade "dont ya just love parades"
HUGE day on Sunday, left at 8am to catch the 8.24 train to the city for the Harbour Bridge Walk. it was a great day, it was overcast & not too hot. Lime Green hats all round. there were huge speakers all the way along each playing different things. News headlines from 1932, the opening speech & Australian Rock. Old Planes flying over head & heaps of news helicopters.
it was just soo cool i am really glad i made the boys come.
after the crossing we went to the Historical Society Building, had some Japanese Pancakes filled with Chocolate, Cheese & custard YUM, also purchased a certificate of the 75th Anniversary Bridge Walk "that will be going on the wall". went into the Rocks listened to some Jazz & then watched a street performer, juggling flaming torches he was really excellent. the whole show went for about 40 mins. well worth the $10. lined up to get the news paper just for the $1 coins {way too many people pushing & shoving NOT fun i can tell ya}
wondered around the Rocks Markets for a bit but there were just soo many people you couldnt even see anything, so we walked down to Circular Quay then over to the Opera House. walked around town for a while got some great Architectural photos, there really are some beautiful buildings in the city. it was about 3.30 when we got to Central, the boys had some lunch & then we got on the train. got home about 10 past 5.
AWESOME day.

4# wednesday 31st Jan, my Boys go back to school {year 8 & year 10}

5# little sisters B'day

6# Valentines week , yes i said week we celebrated for a week from wednesday 7th Feb, till wednesday 14th Feb. heart shaped cakes, cookies, bread, pasta, potatoes. poems & messages in lunches, heart shaped chocolates on pillows every day, Kisses & Hugs

7# quite a few trips to the beach in the last few months, as well as picnics & days to car race

8# things started to get on top of me in December & slowly got worst over January & into February, even tho we were busy with everything that goes on over the holidays & all the things we have done since i was feeling
sad, over whelmed, stuck, no way out, mad & even pissed off. i think it started with way to much to do & then all the bitchiness, back stabbing & emails on some of the scrap sites it just got too much. so i ditched all the sites stopped logging in, & only checked my email once a fortnight if i was lucky.
the last week or so has finally started to get back to normal, well my kind of normal anyway

9# went to the stitches & craft show on saturday, had a great time & came home with some fabulous stuff

10# on sunday Andrew & i went on our first date in more than 10 years, went to the movies to see Pursuit of Happyness. excellent movie definitely worth seeing

11# on monday Andrew came home with 3 bunches of flowers for me, he is soo sweet i love him like crazy

12# still cant believe its me when i walk past a mirror or window {20.5 kg lost}

13# been looking for a job, thought it was time i went back to work. it has been really hard, have sent out way too many resumes have only gotten one interview, they gave me a call back for a second interview but declined the job cause it was 3 nights a week & as i dont drive & i wont catch the train at night it was not the job for me. it is difficult because i have not worked in over 15 years, so lots of places wont even give me a go. but fingers XXed something will turn up soon

14# i want to say a HUGE HAPPY B'DAY to Karen, sorry i missed it sweety but look out for something in the post.

15# listen to music every day its good for the soul or maybe it just makes you feel good, even put a smile on your face, maybe go one step further & dace around like crazy. its FUN so go ahead & try it. {everyone needs some FUN everyday}

17# Ail E has a challenge, to find yourself a word for the year & until just now i didnt know what i was going to choose
FUN is my word & im also including SMILE & LAUGH, these 3 things im going to try very hard to do everyday {then maybe the SAD wont come back}

18# someone asked me the other day 'what makes me Smile' you dont always think about those things so im going to start a list {& im sure it will become a page one day} in no particular order
