I usually tend to do a survey meme about the year, just to, you know, review it all, lay it all out, whatever. This year I’m skimming. Yes, skimming, as in, not much detail, because I’m lazy and don’t want to fill out a meme for the next hour. Also, my present hunger pains are… Read more »

Quilting Bee Xmas Event
I just want to make a quick post about the The Quilting Bee’s Christmas events, which is really only relevant to other Quilting Bee members. I am seriously behind in adding everyone’s cards to my page, and I still have three cards to make for people. I will have some down time in the coming… Read more »
Merry Christmas/Other Holidays
A day late, I know, but yesterday and the 24th were so hectic I didn’t have time to post. I hope you all had a wonderful festive time, whatever holiday(s) you celebrate! I had a great day yesterday with all my family, and though it was very busy it was one of the best Christmases… Read more »
WordPress Upgrade and Xmas Food
I finally upgraded my WordPress and so far I’m loving it. The new dashboard design is very useful as most things are but one click away. I really hate having to go to two other pages to find what it is I want! Aside from this brief examination I have not explored much else, yet…. Read more »
Up She Goes, Up She Goes
Today I opened up a new bank account to start saving for my overseas trip. I have nice, though little, chunk of money in there, now, and it’s such a good feeling. I am beginning to allow myself to go beyond daydreaming about this and start planning where I want to go, what I want… Read more »
Grandparents
I love being close to my grandparents. I have three that are still living and I am fortunate enough to be able to spend significant time with all of them. Two grandmothers that impart knowledge on many subjects from cooking to values to life lessons and more, and one grandfather that imparts knowledge on pretty… Read more »
Mixed Bag
On Wednesday nights C4 has been playing some decent movies. Last week was Sixteen Candles and last night was The Breakfast Club. So bloody good! I find it really interesting what a typical, I guess somewhat “edgy”, teen movie from the 80s is like compared to one now. I don’t know just how edgy they… Read more »
Writer’s Block
One of the pitfalls I find with blogging is frequent writer’s block. Sure, there are things in my day-to-day life I could write about, but they’re not really interesting to read — or write, for that matter. So now I sit in my sister’s living room with not but a clue what to write about!… Read more »
Christmas Tree and Cards
Today my mum and I bought a tree and I decorated it using our new decorations. We had to buy new ones because we can’t find our usual ones (they’re packed away somewhere).
It’s not really shopping if you don’t have money
This weekend was a fairly busy one, actually. On Saturday I met a friend I’d known online for about six years for the first time. She’s in New Zealand for an internship until mid-2009 and lives in the city, so hopefully we’ll get to hang out again soon. I had a lovely time. That night… Read more »
