Our miniature beings

You soon realise how you speak when your two year old starts talking to people. We had a landscaper here yesterday to work on putting up our gate and Master 2 kept going up to the guy saying, "What are you doing mate?"

You think you're having a bad day

Just when you think you are having a bad day, someone else is having a worse one! I woke up feeling sorry for myself today but anything that I was worrying about all paled into insignificance when I found out friends of ours' three week old baby is sick in hospital with bacterial meningitus! Here's hoping he has a speedy recovery and that there is no long term damage to his brain.

This will mess with your head

Three men go into a motel. The man behind the desk said the room was $30, so each man paid $10 and went to the room.

A while later the man behind the desk realised the room was only $25, so he sent the bellboy to the three guys' room with $5.

On the way, the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split $5 evenly between the three men so he gave each man $1 and kept the other $2 for himself.

This meant that the three men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27, add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29

Where is the other dollar?

Chomping Chimp!

I always thought it would be so cool to have a pet chimp - something to have a laugh with, cuddle, take to the park ............... that is until I read an article today about a woman in the US (yes everything always happens in the US!) who was attacked by a 90kg chimp. The chimp went to town ripping off the woman's hands, nose, lips and eyelids. That's some serious damage!

Hmmm think my thoughts have now changed ...... but hey I have kids now to do all that with!

Scary toys of today

There is something awfully scary about a story I read on ninemsn today about a Bulgarian who gave birth on her wedding day. The scary part ................. she is 11 years old!

Apparently she is excited to "have a new toy". If you want a toy, go and play with a Barbie or something!

Skincare Direct

Since moving to the Southern Highlands, I have had trouble getting my shampoo and conditioner. Huge dilemma I know!

Problem solved - I now buy online. I came across this Australian website based in North Sydney, but they ship from Hong Kong. Not only are they a few $$ cheaper than buying in the shops here, but they also don't charge shipping. Bargain I say!

It also arrives within a couple of days!

They sell many other hair, skin and makeup needs with many top brands - worth checking out Skincare Direct.

Another caring and sharing moment proudly brought to you by me!

iPhone killed the blogging star

Well it's official ...... my new iPhone has taken me away from my computer time ....... and hence has slackened my ability to write blog posts. Let's face it, with e-mail and Facebook now on my iPhone, my computer is slowly becoming redundant!

This is the reason for my slackness in October. I am going to be even worse for the next week as I soak up the sunshine in Noosa.

The countdown is on..............

The big countdown is now on until we head off on a plane to finally have a holiday ...... and hopefully some rest. Tuesday week we are heading off to the beautiful Noosa for some sun, beach and relaxation!

Now we just need to convince Madeline to sleep longer than three hours at a time to make it even more relaxing!

Marketing stuff up worked its magic on me!

OK so I caved to marketing hype. Walking down the aisles of Woolies yesterday and my eyes were drawn to iSnack 2.0 (now (Cheesybite). So my curiosity got the better of me and it slipped into my trolley. I just wanted to be able to say to Jackson: "Would you like some iSnack 2.0 on your toast!"

Anyway, thought I might get in before the labels are changed to the new name!

Verdict - not bad ...... although no replacement for the real Vegemite! But for those who find Vegemite too powerful, they might actually enjoy this.

Slow off the mark in October

OK so I'm a little slow off the mark posting anything in October. My brain has had a slow start to the month - sleep deprivation is slowly but surely frying my whole being!

But I am excited to report that I have been busy surrounding myself with new technology, with the introduction of the iPhone and Austar into my little, but important world!

I now have an iPhone addiction ....... which also further feeds my Facebook addiction!

It is also great to have pay-TV back after 10 months of surviving on free to air. Boy was that doing my head in! But Austar is not close to being as good as Foxtel in terms of speed and its program guide, but it is all that is offered here so like it or lump it! Like it I say!
