Branded!

At least thats how I feel.. LOL Like a cow thats been branded with a red hot iron stick thing :)



And this is Travs:




And I have my 2nd one all planned, I took it in with me to check that it was do-able. So after this heals I will go and book it in. Although it may have to wait until after we get back from our trip.. I dont want to have a healing tattoo while we are overseas. So thanks SM :) I saved up all my recent cheques and it was enough to cover both of these and I have just enough spare to get my 2nd one!! woo hoo!

Apart from that, not much has been happening. At work on Friday I dozed off at lunch (we have comfy lounges and a TV in the lunchroom.. I always fall asleep!) And I woke up feeling so off. My throat and/or ear was sore.. I couldnt tell which one. ANyway I just got over a bout of the flu and I hate it when people come to work sick.. I take days off to get better, come back and everyone is coughing and spluttering all over me.

So I did nothing on Friday night, except scrap... wrapped up in a blanket, listening to the footy on Tv and scrapping away.

Saturday I woke up feeling sick.. all achey, sore ear/throat and one eye was really sore and itchy. Anyway we did grocery shopping, then came home and did some housework. At about 12:30pm I sat down on the lounge with some soup and the dogs. Onlsow curled up in my lap and went to sleep, I thought that looked like a good idea, curled up around him and fell asleep in 2 seconds. Travis had to come in and wake me up at 5:00pm!!! I was out like a light for 4.5 hours straight... Onlsow had gotten up, went outside, came ben an hour later and curled up with me again and I didnt even notice. I was feeling a bit better, took some cold and flu tablets, rugged up in a billion layers of clothes and went to the footy. Came home, watched The Departed and then went to sleep.

And I woke up on Sunday feeling perfectly fine!

So I cooked up a storm. 2 lots of stir fry vegies with U-don noodles for lunches at work, home made gnocchi and a very tasty sauce for dinner and a double batch of pumpkin scones. I was doing all three at once, and whacked the scones in, checked on them 15 minutes later.. and they were stone cold. The oven was on, it had been pre-heating for a good 20 minutes while I made the scones, and nothing. I could touch all the racks and they were barely warm. SO looks like the oven has carked it!! So I put the scones in the microwave and they are rock hard!! LOL They still taste delicious though.

well thats all from me.... catch ya later :)

Tagged and stuff

I joined Twitter! LOL Its so much fun :) I have spent all morning sending and reading updates hahaha!

And This is just a little something I whipped up last night.. credits in my gallery over to the left. Too lazy!



I bought a new exercise DVD! A hip-hop cardio workout:

ROTFL Its like a full on dance routine and so HARD! It will be heaps of fun when I can learn the steps.. there is a "learning the steps" section where she goes through each step slowly, and the actual workout is a proper dance. I was puffing and panting half way through the WARM UP! LOL Anyway I got it from Home Fitness Delivered, I received it within 2 days of ordering and including postage, it set me back a whopping $13.48! Worth every cent too :)

Anyway the weather has been nice and chilly, forecast today was 14C, but its raining and there is a very cold (and strong!) wind blowing :) Its GREAT! I love weather like this!!!

I was tagged by Kate a while back.. I am finally getting time to do it now! LOL

The rules: Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs the 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

Ok 7 Random Facts:

1- I hate it when people {travis} sing the wrong words to songs. It drives me mental and Travis makes all the words up and sings on the top of his lungs. The more I correct him the worse he gets LOL

2- When I was 17 I got my first part-time job at the local bowling alley. I worked HALF a shift, didnt get paid and they never rang me back ROTFL I had to go collect all the empty plates from the alleys and I "accidentally" picked up all the ash trays and washed them, and then packed them away in the kitchen, thinking they were just normal saucers!!

3- I have no co-ordination.. :) well, I semi do in my legs and hips, it's just that my arms seem too long and skinny for my body and fly around uncontrollably.. much to Travis' amusement. He sneaks in when I'm going aerobics and laughs at my "gumpy arms".

4- I wish I had a pet goat! I went past houses with pet goats on my way to uni and would love some. I love goats in general :) Wonder how they would get on with the dogs?

5- I barely watch any TV and I cant stand reality shows. I sometimes watch the news, usually watch ACA to see which Councils they are bashing and hope they dont do an expose on any of the food shops in MY area! LOL. I flick through foxtel a lot and we usually end up watching the comedy channel or a movie. Oh and every single game of rugby league! hahaha

6- I used to hate seafood but I actually enjoy it now. I had grilled baby octopus the other day.. and mussels! mmmmm tasty :) 2 years ago I would have gagged at the thought of even looking at either of those! LOL

7- I love cooking!
