So it’s been a long time since I last posted. A very long time. I don’t even dare to look back and see what the last post was, but I’m guessing it’s probably about 18 months or so. A lot has happened to me over the last 18 months, and I’d like to say it’s…
Welcome 2013
Happy New Year everyone. I hope that 2012 was a good year for you all and that 2013 will be an even better year for everyone. I’ve spent the last few days going over the past year in my head and thinking about what I would like to achieve over the next 12 months (and…
Let the Christmas celebrations begin
Why does Christmas have to include masses of food celebrations. I mean really, aside from the gift giving aspect of Christmas, the only other thing I can really see happening is eating – eating lots and lots of food (of course, this eating is normally done with loved ones, but it’s still all about the…
Yoga and the fat girl
So two new things have happened to me lately. I have started using the word FAT. *ugh* *shiver* I hate that word, but hey, let’s be honest, I am fat, it’s a truth I can’t deny, in fact people have called me names of so many variations of the word for almost my entire life,…
A loss… and a win (or two)
Tuesdays are supposed to be my super smash it day, the theory being that I get up first thing in the morning and go for a swim, do my 40 laps and then have a nice relaxing spa for ten minutes before heading home to start the day, whereupon I finish work and head back…
Another round of 12WBT
This year Michelle Bridges has decided to run a holiday round of the 12WBT program, and this year I am partaking in it. After my dismal attempt at the beginning of the year, I just sort of gave up on the weight loss thing. I knew in the back of my mind that I shouldn’t…
And here returns the slackness
WOW for someone who was going to post every single day in October, I’ve not really done so well have I? Let’s see what else has fallen off the bandwagon shall we? Rocktober? Umm that’s a bust. I hadn’t exercised at all until today…. Octsober? Huh, this one was supposed to be the easiest one…
Quilting conundrum
I stopped off at my local patchwork store today and grabbed myself some luscious fabric. I grabbed four fabrics from the Mint Collection Down Under collection. I’ve had my eye on these pieces for a while now. I am having a bit of an obsession with grays and there was something about this collection that…
Not so much crafting, but a lot of working
Why is it that when you set yourself a goal to do exercise and be crafty and to generally do things that you want to do, that something gets in the way to destroy those plans. And to generally mock you! Such is my life today. I’ve been at work all day, come home and…
October – the month of many’s
So I’ve been seeing things all over the internet about things that are happening in October – First there’s Rocktober – which goal are you going to try and rock? Secondly there is Octsober – obviously, that’s keeping sober and not drinking all October. Thirdly, there is Blogtoberfest – a month long blogging festival. Fourthly…
