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.

Goals

So normally my goal is to lose weight - but that's not happening so I have a new goal. My goal is to compete in a marathon (or perhaps half marathon) next year!
I don't run. So I have to learn to do it!
(cue Eye of the Tiger for my training montage)

First goal is to be at the gym at least 3 times a week - and on the days that I don't I will go for a big walk - then at the start of the new year I will begin to learn to run.

So tomorrow, after Dylan gets home, I am off to the gym. No matter how tired I think I am I will do it - also walk Harrison to and from kindy as long as it isn't persisting down!

10kg by Christmas

My goal is to weigh 10kg less by Christmas.
I will start by weighing myself tomorrow morning - then tracking points and going to the gym.

So back tomorrow to fill in the gaps!
