Ten Questions

2010-05-20T22:30:00.002+01:00

I've been tagged by Tammy to answer these questions...

1. What is your happy color? Green, love green it's so mellow and goes well with my ginger hair!

2. What one product could you live without but wouldn't want to? Hand cream, I worry about getting "old lady" hands :O(

3. What is your guilty pleasure? Chocolate!

4. If you could travel anyplace in the world, where would you want to go and why? A deserted beach, with beautiful golden sands and clear blue sea, anywhere, to experience true peace and quiet.

5. Favorite t.v. show? Greys Anatomy. It makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

6. You have 24 hours of free time with no expectations, no work, no cleaning, no fixing meals, just free time. How will you spend it? Sat relaxing with Ray, watching the twins play. Laughing and enjoying each other.

7. You are being given the gift of one super-power (think cartoon characters - flying, xray vision, super strength, etc.). What super-power do you choose and why? The ability to stop time so that I can stop always being in a rush to do things. My life is passing too quick!

8. Favorite quote? The definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result!

9. Describe one of your funniest/silliest/most embarrassing moments? It's all three but very rude, involves a tent and a fish and chip wrapper. Enough said about that!
Will have to think about another one, haha, cos I'm soooo sensible :O)

10. Optimist or Pessimist? Optimist 99% of the time, you just gotta be these days.

The Best Way To Begin The B's

2010-01-16T12:35:00.003Z

So we're into our B weeks already, I feel that this year is going to fly over!

Ok, so I kicked off our B's with a big glass of Baileys and I'm now relaxing whilst watching the Bounty Hunter. I love this show and so do the kids, they love seeing the bad guys being caught. Plus Duane Lee is hot ;O)

I also have planned on watching Beaches, never seen it all the way through before! I'll read Body Rides by Richard Laymon and will try and bake Brownie Biscotti, I never feel very confident with any kind of biscuits so we'll see what happens with that one.

I hardly ever eat burgers but I have bought some that are only 5 syns per pack of 4, so I'm going to enjoy Burger for my supper tonight whilst I sort out our budget, another thing that I hardly ever do but really needs doing.

With the kids I'd like to make Balloon animals and some bird feeders 'cos I think we're going to have this cold weather for a long time.

Happy New year! Can't believe we're starting yet another new year so fast.

Right, so this year I hope to be able to share some nice photos with you and I'm also joining in with A to Z Year which should be fun. It's going to be a family thing so anything is possible :O)

Here's to a fantastic year!

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ New Year Edition

2009-12-28T22:14:00.004Z

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY...

Outside my window... is snow that's no longer soft, but icy hard.

I am thinking... that tomorrow I need to give up junk food and start getting back on track with the healthy eating and exercise.

I am thankful for... being able to have a wonderful Christmas with my family.

I am wearing... my favourite pj's.

I am remembering... my nanna, she's been in my thoughts a lot this Christmas and I still miss her loads.

I am going... to keep relaxing and not over stretch myself anymore.

I am reading... nothing. A trip to the library is needed as I'd like to read Stephanie Meyer's The Host.

I am hoping... that I have the willpower to get back on track with the diet and exercise!

On my mind... what to do tomorrow with Ray and the kids, hoping for something fun.

Noticing that... I have an urge to take the Christmas tree down, maybe tomorrow.

Pondering these words... Life is what you make of it. Always has been, always will be.

From the kitchen... I can still smell Christmas cake!

Around the house... everything is quiet. The kids are sleeping and me and Ray are relaxing.

One of my favorite things... not having to rush anywhere and being able to enjoy my family.

From my picture journal...My baby, Abigail, enjoying her reading system.

Really can't be bothered today at all so here I am, watching The Wright Stuff.

Wisdom for the weekend: 5

2009-09-20T17:40:00.001+01:00

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
