Get well soon...

My poor little bonsai :(
Click here for the story if you havent seen my layout yet... cant upload pics today!

He (the bonsai) obviously didnt like being removed from his big pot where he has been for 2 years into his proper bonsai pot.

I love bonsais but the fun is in the shaping of them in my opinion. SO i bought a tiny, twig of a plant, put it in a big pot with lots of growing room and got to work on shaping the little fella. It was looking great until about 12 months ago when the dogs decided to eat a few of the branches and give it their own touch :) Now it kinda looks a bit bare as it has three branches sticking out instead of 7.... Anyway it had been 2 years in the big pot and had gotten nice and big (well, as big as i wanted!) but the poor thing has been on a downhill spiral for the last 2 weeks... I finally noticed some new shoots on Saturday.... lets see if they last or if they will go black and dry like the rest of the leaves and flowers!

anyway... had a good weekend.. was so HOT on saturday!!! We took the dogs walking at 8:00am and already I was in shorts and a singlet and sweating.. and these are dogs just amble along slowly! Anyway bought them inside with the air conditioning while we started cleaning the house.. did some aerobics and then got ready to go out. We were going to a friends house for dinner, and staying the night so we didnt have to worry about counting drinks. Didnt have a late one because we were all so tired!!!!

Came home on Sunday, watered the garden, did the grocery shopping, did some kickboxing, the last of the housework / washing and then it was time for dinner! so I didnt get much time to scrap, and have to make up for it this week. I have lots of new goodies to play with, but am also working on a "project" which I need to finish.. so no scrapping until this project is done!!

This weekend is going to be a write off as well....

On friday we are going to see Merrick and Rosso in the city (comedians, also on Sydney's Nova radio station in the morning) and then going to a Spanish place to get some Tapas afterward. yummoo!!!! Never had it before but am looking fwd to it! We will be staying in town (in Sydney) for 2 nights as it is also our anniversary weekend... 2 years already!! Time has gone fast, but at the same time, the whole wedding business and the honeymoon seems like it was ages ago!

and on another note... I have been waiting for commissioning letters from Scrapbooking memories (FOUR of them!!!) for MONTHS and FINALLY I got 2 :) and another 3 layouts accepted during the week as well!!! Im on a roll!
So keep a look out for me in vol 8 issue 8 of SM.. I have 2 in there :) Both of Alyssa!!!

Not long till our "concert week"!!! In three weeks we will be seeing Pearl Jam 2 nights in a row (long story as to why we are going both nights! LOL - we have front row seats on night 2 though!) I think that is the Tuesday and Wednesday, and then on Friday we are seeing U2!!! so three big concerts in one week... Im saving my accumulation of RDO's (rostered day off) for when we go to Italy later in the year, so I can save up my annual leave (for NEXT year when we are planning a biiig European trip) sO i cant really take that week off like I want to.... might just had the day of the 2nd pearl jam concert off.... try to recover and get some sleep up my sleeve! LOL
So yay im very excited!!!!!!!!

ok well I guess I better finish off this marathon post!!! LOL Thanks for reading if you managed it!!!
