I REALLY MUST

try and update this thing a little more regularly.

The weeks just go way to fast ... i think i'm doing ok then realise that it has been over a week !

We've been busy (as usual) but not doing anything terribly exciting ...

Last Sunday i took Blake shopping for his Winter wardrobe. Once upon a time i looooved a day out shopping ... these days i treasure my time at home and shopping is a bit of a chore. But we did have a lovely afternoon together and came home with all that we set out for. Our shopping trip wasn't without drama though .... we had a hellraising experience with the new pay/ticket parking system at the shopping centre and almost had our car locked in .... but that is a whole other story that i won't go into !!

My hand is coming along well ... still has limits and lets me know if i'm "overdoing it" but on the whole i'm very happy with the progress.

Friday night i took Blake and two of his friends to the movies ... we were to go and see 'Indiana Jones' but at the last minute they decided they wanted to see 'Ironman' instead ... i was a little apprehensive thinking i would have to sit through one of them movies that would be so not me ... but ... i have to say that it was actually quite a good movie and i did enjoy it.

This weekend we have had a whole weekend of soccer. Yesterday was their normal game (2 all draw) and then the boys had to back-up today to play a 'washed out' game from a few weeks ago (nil all draw) ... so much for weekend plans!

We are starting to get very excited about our holiday to America .... we have received the final intinary and details from the travel agent and have spent lots of time on the internet looking at our accommodation/s, all the theme parks and other attractions we will be visiting, reading up on their "tipping system" (this is something that has got me a little worried cause i want to make sure we do the right thing), etc etc. All of this has stirred up lots of excitement and taken over the general topic of conversation in our house !! Bring on September !!

On the countdown for this week too .... this weekend is the Scrapbook'n'Bits Weekend Retreat .... Yipppee (Thursday to Sunday) ... three days of uninterrupted scrapping, chatting etc.

I'm all ready for the workshop i am hosting ... here are a few more sneak peaks...




Hope you have all had a lovely weekend ...
Have a great week.

Have a great time at the S'N'B Retreat! It will be a blast, I'm sure!! It's nice to get away from home for a few days and have some "you" time.
Your trip to America sounds wonderful...I'm excited for you!!

Hope you have a fantastic in America. We go every year and still don't tip correctly. Don't stress too much, they just blame it on being Aussie lol.
