JAMBEROO

What a great weekend!






I mentioned in one of my previous posts that we were off to Kiama/Jamberoo for the weekend with a large group of friends ... 59 of us.

We stayed at a bunkhouse complex .... just like being back at school camp.

I love the South Coast ... it is just so country by the sea! Really think i could live there, just beautiful!!

Jamberoo recreation park was a great day. For anyone who hasn't been, do yourself a favour and take a trip. LOTS of fun!

This is just a quick post, hope to have the time to upload some projects i've been working in the next few days.

Talk soon,

VERY SPOILT

I have been very spoilt this week.
A wonderful birthday last Sunday which continued through to Monday with out to dinner with my girlfriends. Such a thoughtful bunch and lots of beautiful pressies ... a pink 'bling' ring, a recycled jeans dilly bag (very groovy), lotions and potions, scrapbooking supplies (they know me well), and a pretty little travelling jewellry case.
But wait there's more ... family presents ... a labelling machine, gorgeous jewellry set (chunky beaded necklace & matching earrings), candles & choccies !!
And, just when my birthday celebrations are over ... then there's Valentine's Day.
My DH is very thoughtful and always marks a special day. I got a very sweet & meaningful card & a beautiful flower arrangement. I think i'll keep him for a bit longer !!
On a different note ... you may have notice that i have changed my music video (I love playing with this thing!). I love the Dixie Chicks ... yes, i am not ashamed to admit it ... i am a Country Music girl. I like other music too (not heavy metal or the like), but my favourite is country especially the modern country music that is out these days. In particular, i love this song. I have it on one of their albums which i play in my car regularly. I turn it up and sing to my heart's content ... must be an interesting look for passers by !!?*#! LOL
Well, other than singing, the rest of my days have been filled with hectic schedules at work, busy finalising the details for out group trip to Kiama-Jamberoo next weekend (very excited ... can't wait) and even busier finalising the arrangements for a trivia night i am hosting in Sydney this weekend ... Phew, talk about no rest for the wicked ... I must be a very bad girl !
I won't get a chance to post again til next week ... so, have a great weekend!
Cheers,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !

Well ... I have entered the 2nd half of life in my 30's !!

I have had a wonderful birthday and been very spoilt by my DH, little man, family & friends.

Today i went out for lunch with my family (whilst DH was at work). Lovely weather & great food sitting on the pier at the yacht club ... very nice! Got some lovely pressies and will share some pics in the next few days.

After hubby got home from work, him & our little man had a lovely evening planned for us ...

Just need to rewind a little here .... It is a well known fact in our family (in fact everyone is probably sick of hearing it) that I would really love a BMW! They have always been my favourite car. When i got my new car last year (Mazda 3 - which i really love), i had the option of getting my dream car but the budget only allowed for a 2nd hand one. Now, don't get me wrong ... i am not being snobby or selfish here, but this is one of those life goals. I work hard and put in long hours; and one day hope to reach that personal reward/goal ... a new BMW!

So ... my little man (with some help from dad) built this model BMW as a present from him for my birthday. Priceless!




The idea is to take this to work to sit on my desk mantel and this will keep inspiring me to work harder!

The other beautiful present i received from my two men was this gorgeous Jadore perfume/beauty pack in it's own vanity case!



Then we headed out to 'Jonahs on the Beach' at Noahs Newcastle. A window table booked overlooking the beach, delicious meal, lovely wine, a yummy scrummy choc birthday cake and my two favourite men ... What more could a girl want!!

More celebrations tomorrow night with my girlfriends ...
Oooohhh, i luv birthdays!

Talk soon,

AUSTRALIA'S MOST WANTED!!

Just Kiddin' ......


We arranged our Passports yesterday for the secret ?? 10th Wedding Anniversary holiday in June ... only 4 months to go!

The list for the photo specification is nearly as long as my arm ... not too dark, not too light, not too close, not too far away, no smiling, must be front on, have to see both ears etc. etc. etc.

The end result is very flattering heh!

I am surprised that with "mugshots" like these that they will even let us out of the country!! LOL !!

Oh well ... at least we don't look like terrorists ... we just look very boring!!

I can't believe it has been nearly 2 weeks since I have blogged. I have been having a quick read-up on others; but, just didn't take the time to update mine!

What have i been doing ????? Getting back into the routine of back to school, P & F meetings and organising for 2007, work Work WorK WORK has been hectic, normal busy home life, organising passports & absolutely no time for more scrapbooking (will have to do something about that situation) and taking care of the final arrangements for our group weekend away in 2 weeks away ... can't wait!

57 of us are off to Kiama-Jamberoo for the weekend ... the South Coast won't know what has hit it and will never be the same again !!!

Birthday celebrations tomorrow ... the next time I blog i will be a year older !?#@!! Off to lunch with family tomorrow; and the two special men in my life have arranged a special outing tomorrow night ???? Have no idea where I am going, i've just been told that i have to 'dress up' .... oooooh sounds good!

Have a great weekend everyone.
