I actually feel like...

8 November 2008

...a pretty slack blogger!
I know I have that little badge in my sidebar....the 'blogging without obligation' badge....but I still feel guilty. Its not that I havent updated as much as I should.....or that Ive missed recording some of the things that have happened recently..... whats made me feel the worst is.... I havent been to visit anyone elses blogs in weeks....and that makes me sad.
I am making it a priority in the next few weeks to touch base and check in.... so expect a visit...

So... for family and friends who keep tabs on me through this feeble excuse for a blog... heres an update.... dot point style as usual...

* Anna-Bella is a dream .....shes feeding well.... gaining weight... sleeping from 10.30pm until 6.30am..... becoming more alert when she is awake... and still melting our hearts with every little grunt and cute face she pulls.
*Mitch is still loving his job...and has already begun trade school.... its certainly a lot better that it used to be...and such a relief that he doesnt have to go to Adelaide for weeks at a time to attend. Now days trade school comes to him .... so ..one day every three weeks is spent doing trade school and his tutor comes to him.

* Brent has begun a new job this week too.....hes working at a car dealership.....detailing cars and whatever else needs doing...best bit is ...its full time. He is so relieved to finally have fulltime work...and although he is still going to do the odd weekend shift at the mix grill.....he has resigned from GAME.

* I have been keeping up with the gym.....going three times a week....even though it almost kills me. Im aching in every muscle...and feeling incredibly tired every day....but surely in the long run Ill feel the benefits....please just humour me...... tell me Ill feel better eventually...

* I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Girls night in' at the Boxx last weekend....and I had a lot of fun with the challenges that were set on the night.....

Lucy challenged us to create a layout with lots of flowers and no photo.... so I took the oppurtunity to create this canvas for Anna-Bellas room.

Donna challenged us to create a layout with more than one photo....ribbon...a handmade embellishment and journaling....
Tatum challenged us to create a layout or card as long as it was BOLD... so I created this card.... love the journal spot....thanks Yvette...
Mmmm...well thats about it for tonight.... hope you are having a great weekend.....

  5. Oh Mardi.

    Anna-Bella is such a little doll.

    I had a cuddle last week and she make my heart melt *cluck cluck* (well I kind of snatched her off of Alex - oops! Hope she didn't mind...lol.)

    Sounds like things are busy - but well.

    We need a catch up - soon!
