If I weren't so tired, I would 'opinionate' about this, but for now...'hmmm - comments please'

Eventually, I’m going to figure out how to get one of those scroll-down-window-type-thingy-ma-jigs for my sidebar…(hey, give me a break – I think I’m doing pretty darn good here for a ‘technologically challenged’ person!!) Anyway, I’m going to title it – BRAIN BUBBLES – and I will keep it updated with my lasted ‘brain skips’. Until then, here's today’s…

6:45 am – shower – After wetting hair I pick up bottle and begin squeezing conditioner onto hands - *sigh – oops! Forgot to shampoo…rinse hands – squeeze out shampoo onto hands instead…only to remember…YES you silly moo! You have already washed your hair this morning!! – My hair was Very Clean today!!

....I promise, it was just one....and I reeeeally needed it!!!

No, I am not into body modification!!! *That* would be a pimple on my forehead!!!! I swear - where is the justice? It's bad enough that my mind keeps glitching on simple tasks like putting the milk away...instead of in the fridge, I found it in the cupboard this afternoon - and this morning I was brushing my teeth with my electric tooth brush. I brushed, spit, rinsed, spit then rinsed the tooth brush and as I returned it to the shelf...I (only then) switched it on!!! So, I've reached the age of doing silly things, I sport the darker circles under my eyes (albeit - they are possibly somewhat self induced), I notice the effects on my skin after a few afternoons in the sun, the little wrinkles are beginning to appear around my eyes...and I am not worried! I *really* don't mind. Growing older holds no deep fear for me (yet...), but why now? Why the agonizing pustules now instead at the age of 16??? Why at same time as I have to hit the 'thirty something' adjustments? The doctor offered a solution, and it's supposed to fix the 'I'm a bitch this week' problem of mine which seems to have spiralled off the ‘acceptability level’ chart of late...but do I really want to saturate my system with hormones....again? I mean...Didn't I send my hubby for the long walk to Dr Snipit so I wouldn't have to ingest hormones for the next 20 odd years? *huff, puff, and sigh* I guess I'm just venting here...but by all means leave a comment if you know of a better cure than what looks to be my best option so far... Oh, I forgot to say - when my very thin Dr suggested the pill, I said that I was worried about the weight gain aspect (being pleased with my recent dieting efforts) and she said "Oh, it's not going to make you gain weight" I replied, "It has in the past.." She countered “Ah! No, it won't make you gain weight, but it might make you feel hungry...just because you’re hungrier, doesn't mean you have to eat more!" Well, I wanted to just drag her skinny little self across the table and punch her, but then I realised...Hey, she's got something there (her being so much thinner than I!!)...and I've let it inspired me several times over the last few weeks on my grand régime... So, I guess I am to become a much more pleasant-natured-spot-free being...and if I plan to continue getting thinner…I am possibly gonna be a very hungry creature indeed!! Hmmm…

It was back to school today - and fortunatly, the kids were as excited to return as I was ready for them! We didn't have one tear (yippy!) and Heidi started 1st grade today with alot of quiet confidence! Little Rosie was NOT impressed that she didn't get to go to school with Daniel. I finally called her nursery teacher and asked if she could attended today. It wasn't really what she wanted but it will have to do until January! I hope to get our summer 2003 photo album up before the end of the week...we'll see...It's amazing how much I got done today and how many more things there are to do!!!

This is the first picture I've been allowed to take, whenever I tried before I was met with a bear-like growl!! He must be 'on the mend' though...I sense there is a little posing going on here, no?

Okay Mr Monkey, this one didn't really look like much fun to me, but my curiosity got the better of me! Heh! I'm kinda scary huh?

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Zang! Who is that, prowling through the tundra! It is Amber, hands clutching a reflective halberd! And with an ominous grunt, her voice cometh: "I'm seriously going to turn you into part of my balanced breakfast!!"

The pleasure I found in dinner tonight went beyond a mere meal!! This was just incredible!! Len and I walked to market this morning and bought all the ingredients fresh…Michael and Catherine came around and I think this was an exception to the rule that “Too many cooks spoil the broth”- Man, we did good!! I wish we could have all sat down and experienced it together but I guess the recipe will have to do you for now… Tuna Steaks – fresh Marinade for 20+ minutes in: Grated Ginger – fresh Chopped Coriander – fresh Ground Sea salt Fresh ground black pepper Lime – fresh squeezed Sesame oil Soya sauce Diced Green chilli – mild Grill for a couple minutes on both sides and serve with green veggies stir fried in oyster sauce… Bon appétit!

So sorry babe!! I know it's gotta hurt! I love you. xx
