Got home last night and just crashed. I was sooo tired.

The appointment I had at 1 was cancelled because the guy was sick but they forgot to ring me & let me know so we ended up spending a couple of hours just wandering around town, ended up meeting up with my MIL (we had FIL with us) for tea before hubby & I went to the Ante-natal class (more bout that on bub’s blog). and then when we got home hubby wasn’t feeling well. so it was an interesting wedding anniversary LOL Gonna do something special for him 2morrow night if he feels a bit better – like cook a candle lit tea.

So in Shimelle’s class yesterday we discussed what we put on our blogs & scrap pages, and what we choose to share & what we choose to keep private.

There is lots I don’t blog about especially when it comes to family. I guess the same is true for my scrap pages. I’m not very good when it comes to journaling. I’m trying to add more hidden journaling to pages now so I can tell more of the story.

The prompt for yesterday was to choose a story I’d like to scrap about (not today but in the future) and share a little bit about it here with you all. The rest will be hidden journaling that I won’t be sharing. Things that are more personal and stuff I guess the world doesn’t need to know

So what picture do I want to scrap about????

I’m slowly working on bub’s album (the little wolflet) so I might share the story of the day this scan was taken. (All the journaling in bub’s album will be written to bub.)

“This is you on October 22nd and you behaved beautifully for the ultrasound technician.

The funniest thing happened during the scan. We were chatting away to the tech while she did the scan and she turned and said to me “did you feel that too?”. Yup, you kicked the bit she was scanning and we could see it.

Both your grandmothers were there for the scan too which was nice.”

I plan on adding some hidden journaling to the page sharing our hopes and dreams for our little one. Something they can read when they are older.

Just a quick post this morning to wish my hubby a Happy Anniversary.

3 years of putting up with me LOL. Love you heaps hun *hugs*

Will be back later with all the interesting info from our first ante natal class 2nite. still thinking bout my response to today’s prompt from Shimelle.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I did a survey for Colorbok and got sent this amazing pack of goodies in the mail yesterday.

 

I’m looking forward to scrapping with this lot – not sure what I’ll put in the album yet.

in other news, we bought a second hand car – it’s a 2001 Commodore. Hubby has a head cold. I’ve got a nasty case of hay fever (can’t take anything for it either) that seems to have developed into a head cold today ( i hate having a cough – it hurts my throat, my chest & the bump is sore – bub seems oblivious to it all thou & is moving around quite happily). that’s bout it really. off for another scan on Thursday.

Before I go thought I’d share this cute pic hubby took yesterday – it’s Cola lying with her head on my bump. she loves padding on it and starts to purr when bub kicks or moves – I can see those two will be friends when bubby is born.

Okies heading to bed to see if I can sleep off this head cold.

I gots to share the love for one of my favourite button sites. Seriously these girls are AWESOME & their buttons are totally rocking.

I can hear you say, get on with it woman, who are you talking about?

KITTYROBOT, of course. These girls rock the handmade sculpey buttons AND their Australian!!

They make buttons (I think I already said that LOL), like these,

Keyrings,

Necklaces and so much more. Can you tell the cupcakes & owls are my favs lol

Normal blogging will resume shortly 😉

Found this over at Holly’s blog while cleaning up my saved bloglines & just thought I’d share 🙂

The 36  Rules of Life:

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides nice contrast to the real world.

25. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.

26. If you had to identify in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.’

27. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’

28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with  them.

29. You should not confuse your career with your life.

30. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

31. Never lick a steak knife.

32. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

33. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment

35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.

36. Your friends love you anyway.

 

Have a great day!
