Happy birthday to me
Today’s daily food intake… Just a quick post because it’s my birthday today and I’m still celebrating (read that as I’m sitting on the couch with Mick spending good, quality time together). Have had a super lovely day and had some super lovely food and went way over my calorie limit – with dinner alone – but every single bite has been worth it. I know I should be sitting here saying that I ate super clean and healthy, but I’m of the opinion that I have...
Read MoreHappy Valentines Day
Well everyone I leave you with a short post tonight to say that I hope you all have a lovely Valentines Day. I am going to have a lovely meal with my other half and spend some good quality time with him tonight, which sadly doesn’t include blogging. Till tomorrow.
Read MoreSoftball and I are not the best of friends
Today’s daily food intake… When we first moved over to Port Lincoln five months ago I was talked into joining a softball team. I had my reservations because in my (nearly) 36 years I’ve never, ever, played team sports. I did calisthenics for a while when I was very young, and did jazz ballet for a couple of years in my early teens, but I’ve never joined in with sports that involved balls, I have this irrational fear of balls that come flying at me. I don’t know why,...

Todays daily food intake… So what have I been up to in the last few days? Well on Thursday (Australia Day here in umm Australia…) Mick and I ventured into the National Park to climb Stamford Hill to see the Matthew Flinders Monument. When I looked at it I thought “hell no” that’s way too high for me and it’s going to take forever. Funnily enough, it’s not as high as it looks and only took about 27 minutes to climb (and only 16 minutes to descend), but that...

Todays daily food intake… Short post, internet is rooted again. Am ready to throw the modem out the window.
Read MoreBest laid plans
Today’s daily food intake… I had all the best intentions of the world in getting up early this morning to go for a walk/run/jog/shuffle and start the C25K app that I download, oh about a million years ago and which has been sitting on my phone doing, well, nothing. However, to actually wake up early, one must set one’s alarm clock so that you don’t sleep till your normal time. And if you do happen to wake up earlier, one should not roll over, look at the clock and then think...
Read More2012 Resolutions
So as I do every year, I have sat down and come up with my list of resolutions. It is not a great long list this year, because I didn’t do so well on last years list, so let’s first re-cap on the 2011 list: Tell Mick that I love him more often. Check. This one was an easy one. I tell him every day and more than once. It’s hard not to tell him to be honest. Learn to say no. Well this one only kinda happened. I definitely said “NO” a lot more often this year, than I...
Read MoreThe fog is lifting
Well I’ve had a very quiet month on the blog front. I really just haven’t wanted to read, quilt, exercise, blog, do anything really. I realise that I was probably back in the land of depression, that I’m still there, but the fog is slowly starting to clear and I’m feeling a little bit better with the world at large. I only have five more working days left at this place, and then I’m officially on leave for three weeks, before I head back to my old department, new location, and new...
Read MoreI thought I was stronger than this
I’ve fluctuated through my life in how I feel about myself. Most of the time I’m kind of MEH when it comes to self thought and worth. I don’t think I’m particularly great, I don’t think I’m particularly bad. But lately, it’s been a real struggle. To set the story: we had a merger back in August last year and the existing manager from the other area took us all over. Since then it’s been feeling very much like the end of the original team and a slow invasion of the “south”...
Read MoreResolutions and To Do list
So today I finally sat down and wrote up my list of resolutions for this year. I had 10 resolutions and then I thought of one more, so I thought why not – it’s 2011, let’s have 11 resolutions and see if I can actually keep them up. Every year I vaguely think of things that I am resolved to do, but I never really write them down or even try to stick to them, but this year I thought why not. Then I thought of the things I would like to do – craft-wise, so I made a list of...
Read MoreHappy new year
Just wanted to post quickly to say happy new year to everyone. Busy busy busy here trying to organise my life for the next year. I really don’t like being unorganised, but every year I tend to get more and more unorganised so this year, I’m trying to plan a few things out. As well as making a comprehensive new years resolutions list (yes I still do those…. Does anyone else?) So again, happy new year everyone, and here’s to another happy year of blogging.
Read MoreMerry Christmas everyone
Yes it’s been a while since posting. I’ve been quite busy, little bit of sewing, little bit of writing and a whole lot of stressing out about getting ready for Christmas. And finally, I think I am ready, which is just as well because we are having traditional Christmas Eve dinner in about 2 and half hours. Tonight will be a bit of a mix between good Australian food and great Danish food as Mick is a true blue Aussie and I am from Danish background. And I cannot wait. The only sad...
Read MoreRecap on November and sewing happening again
So, it’s been a week of holidays from blogging and I have to say that it’s been great to come home from work at night and know that I don’t have to try and find something witty or interesting to write about, and that I can just sit on the couch, watch some tv, read a book and just chill. Though having said all that, I was beginning to miss my little blog over here. It’s bee a week since I have done any writing of any sort. I’m missing it all to be honest. So a recap over November...
Read MoreNovember is nearly over
WOW what a ride November has been. It has been full of ups – huge highs and downs – major lows. I have to say that at the beginning of the month I knew that I had set myself up for a full on month. I stupidly thought that I might still be able to do a little bit of sewing, but who was I kidding? The closest I got to sewing was the craft and quilt fair at the beginning of the month. The fabric that I bought there is still sitting on my desk waiting for me to start cutting it out and...
Read MoreI need a tree
First off I would just like to say thank you very much to both Marshmallow, Chris and Linda for their kind words yesterday. When I woke up this morning and saw your comments you put a smile on my face and Marshy your Hugs just brought a warm feeling to me. When you think everything in your life is getting low, and you can feel yourself falling into the deep black hole that you thought you had crawled out of for good, just a simple hug can make everything a little brighter. So thank you once...
