Second day and so far no nail biting.
Also eating things with my hands is a bit harder - it really does taste foul!

Trying

My worst habit is biting my nails so i am attempting to break the habit. Today i bought some of that horrible tasting nail polish and it really does taste gross!
Just put it on now so we'll see how it goes

finished

I finished my bag - not perfect but good and usable! (And pink and floral!)

I have started on Easter bunnies - I am making a practice bunny and then one each for the boys. I have also started on some little canvases for J's room - they have jungle animals made from scrapbooking (patterned) paper on them. So far we have a monkey - lion, elephant and giraffe to come!

busy

on the weekend I got my crafty going and finished my apron, made a shoe bag for me and a marble bag for Harrison. I also decorated a wooden J and a wooden H with paint and stickers AND I started on a nice bag for me (in floral pink). So far it has a lining, a base and a handle - I am a bit nervous about starting the actual bag!

Harrison had his first school visit today so we got his uniform and his stationery pack. Ohhhhhh my baby!!!! i think he'll be ok - he already made a new friend :)

Sick

I have a cold. it is a bad cold which involved spending all yesterday lying in the lounge, watching "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" and feeling sorry for myself as I sniffled my way through 1 1/2 boxes of tissues.

Bonus - sold a massive heap of baby things - $30.

Sick - time for chocolate and sympathy I think :(

Hmmmm

So I seem to have a few posts about losing weight - as it slowly creeps back up again.
I know I need to - even just to have more energy!

So I am tracking my food in an online food diary and attempting to gym at least 2x if not 3x a week.
I went yesterday and will go Wednesday and Friday too.

My goal is to be 68kg (or around there) and I would really like to lose about 1kg a week for a while!
I have a freezer full of WW wraps so I really have no excuse!

Just need to be a bit more organised I think, make sure I have healthy snacks around me (and try to break the eating at night habit!)

Fairy Princesses

I want a girl!!!!

We spent the day celebrating Rhiannon's 5th birthday - first it was off to Lollipops where we played and chatted and mocked the worst cake in the world (supplied by Lollipops - looked like shit and tasted worse) and ate what was not the worst cake in the world (supplied by Bridget - gorgeous and yummo).
Then it was back to Bridget and Darren's place for merry making and eating and what not.
Kids played, adults chatted, adults played, kids fell over/off/on and cried.

Good times!

There was much pink, purple and drag queen Barbies (Fantastica Aquatica) - I LOVE that group of friends!!!!

It's official

I have the most boring life.
It's Friday night - tonight I have ........ gone to the supermarket to get something for dinner ........ made dinner for kids and put them to bed ........... made white chocolate fairy wings for my cupcakes .......... given J some more bottle and put him back to bed ........... put the wings onto the cupcakes ......... ate a mini pack of bagel bites and watched the start of "The Cutting Edge"......... did the dishes ......... mucked around on the computer ........ watched Idol with my mum ........ ate some cheese on crackers ......... and now I'm back to the computer!

It's a Friday night!?! What has happened to me?

It doesn't help that Dylan is working every Friday night from now until whenever The Apprentice is all done. So I am kiddie wrangling by myself for a while.
Still - something to do on a Friday night would be fantastical!

Cupcakes

I love to make cupcakes - it is a new found passion! And I am just getting into making things with fondant which is a lot of fun.
I have a fantastic chocolate cupcake recipe which is egg, milk and butter free - and then I also have my secret recipe for frosting - shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Tonight I made a batch (24) cupcakes for Rhiannon's 5th birthday on Saturday. She is like me and loves girly girl things so tomorrow i will ice them with gorgeous pink frosting (piped on of course) and then top with little fondant fairies with white chocolate wings.
I am quite excited as it is the first time I have tried anything as elaborate so fingers crossed for them turning out the way I plan!

Ohhhh

I prettied up my blog today!

This

I guess I get busy.

I am currently on a mission to become the healthy person I see myself being - so that means losing weight and getting fit.

Today i have eaten 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter and jam, 6 pieces of sushi (yum), 3 crackers, some licorice (which is now all gone so no more for me!) and pasta carbonara for dinner.

My main aims currently are to go to the gym at least 2x a week, to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, to not eat after 7:30pm and to stop eating after i am full.

So tomorrow morning i am off to the gym.
