Mika Brzenzinski

This poor women to have to work with such patronising jerks. I think she did a good thing. The whole Paris thing is pathetic. She went to jail - thats what happens people who BREAK THE LAW. It really makes me wonder why people idolise paris.
Any way - Mika Brzenzinski is my new hero - watch this video to see her refuse to lead with the Paris story over actually news stories such as Iraq etc...

Hi

Hey, haven't posted for a few weeks. Too busy....or too lazy (either one - I haven't posted).

Went and saw the Beauty and the beast musical. It was done so well! For a 'country' (ish) production they were great - and now they have been invited to the gold coast to do 5 shows. they were also invited overseas to do the show - but they couldn't get the copy write to take it overseas.
Meanwhile, rehearsals for Pirates of Penzance has started. I had to go in for some dancing today and I'm a little unsure of it all. I tripped once and almost died of embarrassment. To make things worse, I will be right up the front for this scene - so no hiding behind people or watching others to keep up.

Im on holidays for two weeks now! YAY! Thank goodness, I really need the rest. This term is going to be full on. With Ekka stuff, and the youth display for EKKA with school and pirates rehearsals. But I guess I can handle it since at the end of the term Ill be tripping around Europe!!!

Just a few layouts I completed this weekend after taking up an online challenge to complete a layout that included journaling. I normally don't
journal any photos so thought I'd give it a go. Ended up doing three pages!






































I have swapped places with Chris in the study. Now that he has a flat screen monitor he wanted to move into the cupboard, where we have built in a table and some shelving for my scrapping. So now I have an *entire* room for my scrapbook space. So in the holidays we are doing a Ikea shopping spree to buy a new big desk for me and some storage/shelving. I cant wait to redecorate the study.

Just a few layouts I have done today. Still doing blank baby layouts, not sure what Im going to do with them!

Have finally scrapped a few photos of my SIL's Hens night. We had a poledancing lesson - it was lots of fun, and harder than it looks!!

We have had a very lazy weekend. Chris and I have just been watching movies and playing on the computer. I finally have my laptop up and running fast enough to play world of warcraft - now i just have to afford to buy the game and internet time for it.

Tried to do some cooking - but it wasnt very successful! If you cannot tell by the biscuit - I was trying to cook peanut butter cookies. This is why I dont bother cooking and just go and buy a packet of biscuit. It wasnt too bad if you ate around the charcoal!














Mmmm....Home cooking - full of charcoaly goodness.

Another page for the baby album Im doing.....


















And Im slowly getting around to scrapping all of my SIL's wedding photos. She was married last September, so Im not that late.

A complaint free world

Because of a stomach bug on Tuesday I stayed home and watched Oprah. They had a part on a church that has begun a campaign to help people stop complaining. Basically putting across the message that there are much worst situations in the world - so what do you have to complain about? The Pastor of the church sent out a challenge to his congregation to change their habits of complaining. So he gave them each a plastic bracelet to wear and each time they found themselves complaining they had to change the bracelet to the other hand. The challenge was to keep it on the same hand for 21 days.

Do you think you could do this? I dont know if I could this! The church sends the bracelets all over the world if you wish to order your free bracelet. Though Im sure any bracelet with do for this sort of cause.

If you think you might take up this challenge, please leave a message and even more importantly - leave a message if you make this!

Hi All,
Hope every ones had a great week. Although it was only a short one here (monday was labour day), it seemed to have gone on forever! Four weeks of the term down and 6 more to go. The end of term does seem to be sneaking up. My seniors have 4 weeks until their exam block! Then there will be exams to mark and report cards to write. sigh.

Have spent the weekend playing world of warcraft (dinged to level 33!), sleeping, watching movies and playing around with my scrapbooking stuff. On Friday night school had the senior ball so went along to that also. It was a 1920's themed ball. Every one got into the theme and dressed up!

Have started to do a few pages for baby album. don't get a shock - its not for me, I was thinking about it for a friend who is expecting.







































Also spent some time making some flowers.















Have a great week every one!
