:)

merry christmas to the invocrew!! x

happy hundy

far outttt. one hundred posts.
i didn't think i even had the dedication to go half that long.
yet here i am
at post

one hundred

with nothing to say except....

go me!

the simple things

today was down right rotten

i got mad with everyone, i was busy to the point of ridiculous and had two arguments - one with someone i like, and someone else i don't like a bit.

but i felt like a crazy and... i hated it

it took standing out the front of a church in a quiet street at someone elses funeral, under this beautiful tree to make me realise that it didn't even matter

not even one little bit

there's lot of pretty things amongst the ugly and crazy -

i just have to look for them

temple tins

our young women are spoiled rotten...

imagine their delight when they showed up last night and we had a room full of pretty wedding stuff, complete with things to cut up - and cake and "champers" to boot

temple tins were the on the nights agenda :)

all the glory to dannii... when she was in yws in mandurah, they made a temple tin each - an oversize coffee tin (which mum scored from the ages care kitchen she works in) filled with fabric samples, dress pictures, flowers pictures, generally every possible idea you can come up with for your wedding - plus a slip of paper with a letter to your future husband, and even possible kids names. freaking love it!!! i am just annoyed i never got to make one when i was in youth!!

but it was so much fun - the girls got really into it and got to work

i just can't wait to see if any of their predictions actually come to pass when they are opened when it's time for...

their temple marriage :)

i love winter best

i've been slack this week - and haven't written a thing - cause the week is dragging and it's so freaking hot

there i was... thinking i could escape summer in all it's violence this year - yet here it is, burning me already

sometimes i wish i was one of those people who love summer... who jump at the chance to go to the beach - stay in the sun and go crazy.

but i'm not...

cause i love winter best

dreaming...

so... as all of you know - i am more than just a little obsessed with cardigans and seahorses, so imagine the look of "iwantiwantiwantiwant..." that was on my face when watching ep603 of himym last night.

i am in love with this amazing cardi -and totally want it, but much to my disgust it is a whopping 335 american dollars!!! don't think i'll be getting one any time soon.

but hey - i'll keep dreaming... and if anyone wants to buy it for me, did i mention it's my birthday in 29 days!

what's in a name??

i have to share this - cause i thought it was the cutest thing ever

sandra at work, has a sister clare - who has just given birth to the most beautiful little boy

isaac william

and where did the name come from?

well... we were throwing names around when she was 8 1/2 months preggers and sandra was getting frustrated beacuse she hadn't chosen one yet... the only thought was zac - which meh... i don't like all that much... i commented "i like isaac... -it's my brothers name... i'm just not into the name zac"

the name was suggested - and here he is - inadvertedly named after my big brother!!

let's just hope he doesn't take after him - he'd be a terror!!
