Booze Busters 30 Day AF Challenge - Week of June 2
I'm still here!!
Hi all - sorry haven't been here much over the last couple of days .... after a really busy week, have had an incredibly busy weekend with getting the bricklaying done around the compost, doing a major cleanout of the kitchen cupboards (like: first time in 7 years!!), constructing an i-pod playlist for my best-friend-and-business-partner's 50th birthday party in a couple of weeks time (that was great fun!!!!) and (inspired by Anna and DG!!) making a fabulous meal last night! In the interests of spending less money and being a bit experimental, we decided to buy a whole fish (trevally - I think it is an Australian and NZ one), rather than fillets and i discovered that I still knew how to fillet a fish. And less than a third of the price!!! And served with tomato and cardamon sauce, plus lots of salads (no carbs .... still trying to lose weight and not having any luck so commiserations with all those others who are feeling similarly!!).
And we are also in the middle of a house re-organisation (with people moving in and out) so I shifted my lap-top into another room. But it is upstairs (in the new office!) rather than down (which is where I spend most of my time), so more difficult to get to on a "just passing by" basis. It is a bit like Grand Central Station here at the moment (lots of visitors and waifs and strays) but my partner (dont know what to call him now that uncle Max has disappeared from my gravatar!!) and I have decided that it is just going to be him and I and puss (and his kids when they are around) until at least the end of this year once our current crop of temps have moved on. A messy bathroom and crumbs on the kitchen bench are all I need to find and excuse to open a bottle of wine, and I want to put myself at the front of my priority list for the rest of this year.
V. quickly - DG yes, these are muppets (of the ma-na-ma-na variety!!) and when I have a chance to take in the you-tube instructions I'll post the link! Is my all time favourite!! (and I had decided that Aunty Mame was not quite my preferred identity for those that know the story!! However, cant find any way of changing my name on the site, so will stick with this for now!)
Babies - two beautiful girls born! One Thursday night, one Friday morning. There is something about new life that makes me want to be a better person ....
Anyway, hope everyone is doing really well and that you have had a good weekend - this coming week is a much quieter one that last week so I hope to be around a bit more. But the sun is about to go down so I'm heading out for a walk before it does!
