MOTHER'S DAY SPREAD















My friend Jodi sent me some photos of Mother's Day spread that her step mum Gabi did. Gabi you are a clever little dick, spread looks fantastic and the cakes I want them to come to life now so I can eat them.

FUN RUN/WALK - OVER























The Mothers Day Classic Fun/Run Walk went well last Sunday, had about 50 participants which included adults, kids and dogs. Fun was had by all.

PINK T-SHIRT

As in a previous posting I did mention about the Fun/Run Walk happening this weekend, I ordered a pink T-Shirt in a size 12 well I am not sure how they make their sizes ( I vary in sizes from 10, 12 to 14), when I received it yesterday it looked liked it should be a kids size, I just cracked up laughing. Mid-driff tops are definitely not in fashion and when I tried it on & thought oh my god it is mid-driff, what the hell do I look like a"sl-t"! If I had the body for it no problem - but I ain't no Elle McPherson!! (I wish). Nikki that is also doing the walk offered to swap her size for me, but I declined as her T-shirt is a v-neck and mine is a round neck and not into v-neck tops, thanks Nikki anyway. I am hoping I can get it to the length I want by stretching it, so have a few days of s-t-r-e-c-t-h-i-n-g before the walk. I dare not wash it just in case it SHRINKS.

PEE, PEE, PEE

I love my water but never drink enough of it and now have decided to drink more water and less Diet Coke (as Diet Coke is another addiction I have and was my main source of fluids). They say we should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, I am probably drinking a little over half that, so slowly working my way up to drinking the recommended amount. This is my 3rd day and quite happily substituted my Diet Coke for the good old water, the only problem is I am up and down to the toilet more often. Gotta go, pee time again!

GOLDEN GIFT WEEKEND - JUNE 2007

Here at work we are busy with the preparation for the annual Golden Gift Weekend, which has professional athletes from around Australia arriving in our town competing to win big bucks and gold nuggets.

Over the weekend we will also see:

  • Troy Cassar-Daley & Sara Storer (performing on Saturday night)
  • Dorothy the Dinosaur & Wags the Dog performing shows for the children
  • ARCANUS Circus - Fire Show
  • Aerial Fireworks Display
  • BMX Bicycle Demonstration
  • BBQ Breakfast
  • Horse Races & Two Up at the Race Course
  • Market Stalls
  • 50km Cycling Challenge
  • Athlete's competing throughout the day in local and non local events
We here in the office have to work over the weekend so we don't get to see much of the weekend which is a real bummer but then again someone has to do it. I am not a big fan of country and western though considering we do live in a country (outback) town, country and western is appropriate. If I had my way, someone like Jimmy Barnes or Shannon Noel would be perfect then again Ricky Martin would be right up my ally.

EVICT "TJ"

As I am an avid viewer of Big Brother I just have to vent my anger towards Darwin-ite TJ, what a pain in the arse she is, she annoys the hell out of me. I cannot believe a couple of the girls in the house said that they would hate to come across her when she is angry - god if I was in there I would be putting her back in her box. She wants to cause arguments with everyone (I am sure she likes the sound of her own voice (I don't) then she is all over them like a rash, she's a nutter no two ways about it. Every time she opens her mouth I just cringe. The sooner TJ is evicted the better.
