So Friday I turned 33 21 18 ROFL.
Had an awesome day. Got up at 6am cause little Miss K decided I should be up & awake. Went to town and did a little shopping. Went out for lunch at Steve’s Grill with hubby, bub, my parents & the in laws.
If you live in Launceston, you should go to Steve’s Grill. I had a smoked salmon Caesar salad – OMG it was YUM! Hubby had the king steak and couldn’t finish it but it was perfectly cooked. All the meals we had were super yum & super reasonably priced.
From there we went to Myer to pick up the Pixi Fotos we had done of bub. Gorgeous!
Hehe how photogenic is she? This is one of my favourites. A model in the making, don’t u think?
After that I went to the docs – won’t bore u with the details but I’m fine 
Then home for tea – Honey chicken YUM
Bub gave me this
hubby gave me this
and I’m getting one of these (just waiting on it to come in) – the 250gb one not the 4gb one
with this (& a few other games)
so I can get all fit or something LOL
We had a BBQ on Saturday which was nice. I got a little sunburnt on the shoulders. Miss K had a ball in a paddling pool
Today was lovely. Spent the day at home and just watched TV & surfed the net.
Oh yeah, the Scrapping Shoebox Contributors have been announced.
Don’t let anybody should on you
A must read for any new (or semi new) mummas
Off to get some food ready for tea then I plan on heading out to soak up some restoring full moon rays tonight.
the post a day idea has kinda fallen thu lol I thought it might but that is ok. I will, however make sure I post at least once a week – therefore will be taking part in post a week 2011.
Been pretty busy lately. Have done a little digi scrapping. Another page for Log Your Memory
no paper scrapping. I really want to get my 2010 JYC album finished.
Been busy working on The Scrapping Shoebox. Check the previous post for details of the contributor call. Working on an organising ‘challenge’ for the site. Um what else, enjoying summer, trying to organise my birthday (which is next week) and bub’s first birthday.
Anywho off to find some photos to print, I feel like doing some scrapping 
Oh my. I think I have found a new glittery love – Everything Glittery.
At the moment they are doing a give away a week in January. This week it’s a glitter crystals.
too cute. so pop on over to this post & leave a comment for your chance to win.
So what do you think?
Still working on pages & widgets. Hope to be finished tonight 
On a side note, please spare a thought for those in Queensland affected by the flooding and those in Western Australia affected by fires.
I found this article via one of the blogs I read & I thought “hmm this is so true”
Miss K will know about videos as her Dad has a small collection (including 2 copies of the original Star Wars – I swear every time a new version comes out we buy it … speaking of which, bring on September – all 6 Star Wars on Blu-ray *squee*)
I hope the author is wrong about books cause nothing beats holding a book in your hands – I can’t get into reading books on my laptop/phone (or kindle if I had one lol)
CDs – um, so I plan to get rid of my collection & make them all digital?? don’t think so. Heck I still own a heap of vinyl – I love the sound of music on vinyl.
Oh yeah the list isn’t about me lol
This week I’m going to look at the free ABC app. (This is an Australia only app – apologies to my overseas readers)
Site: http://www.abc.net.au/
About: Read, watch and listen to the latest news, sport and entertainment from Australia’s national broadcaster.
Get it here
Cost: Free
What I think: Gotta love our ABC. This app is great when I’m out and about and want to catch up with the latest news.
I like: you can watch and listen to ABC through the app
What I’d like to see: more local radio stations streaming (but I have another app for that)
What I don’t like: haven’t found anything yet
