Seriously Weird Thing To Do

I was visiting Jen Hall's blog (gosh I feel posh saying that!), and she's got this funny thing to do you put your first name plus the word "needs" into Google and note the first five things that come up... So, being the type that has to try these things, I put linda needs into google, and this is what came...

Linda needs the following donated ... LARGE "CIRCUS TYPE TENTS"--

Linda needs to provide a fast response to customer needs

Linda needs to be part of a loving, committed marriage

Linda needs a new best friend

Linda needs as much free space at the front of the platform as possible

Now I know I'm not exactly svelte but the first and last are just plain rude! Actually, I kinda sound like a loser all round with these! Think I'll change my name to Lucy or something *grin*

Well I really HAD better go, things to do, places to be (pix to scrap!)

Cheerio

What a slackie!

Dear oh dear, havent blogged for a bit!

Hmmm - since the last exciting instalment, I have been WORKING!!! Yay for me! Well, OK, it was only three days, but that's still better than a kick in the teeth. I hope I get more.

I got an amazing package in the post yesterday. I sent for what I imagined to be a desktop size display board - and it turned out to be big enough for Lachlan to hide behind - standing up! Well, I will certainly be able to make a visible display, no-one will miss seeing me at the craft market next week!

My website is up and running now. It wouldnt work at first and I was feeling quite stressed about it all, but the next day I went to log in and *wahoo!* it worked! Some sort of time lag, I guess, very weird.

Well, I'll probably put some PICS on here tomorrow, but for now, it's time to toddle.

Cheerio!

Super Angelrat!

Thursday - payday!

Yippee!!!! I love payday - who doesnt?!!! Lachlan and I sallied forth bright and early this morning, as we do on Thursdays. We went to Woollies then McDonalds. The others didnt wake up for a while though so they had to reheat theirs. Ugh!

Still have to get Robert his new shoes. Fun fun fun. Not! I cant imagine why on earth some women like shoe shopping. It's the bane of my existence. Hate hate. Pity you cant go barefoot all the time!

Cheerio for now

My Urban Lily comp entry

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Here is the layout I entered in my LSS's comp. It took AGES to cut out the flowers, and a long time to sew on the buttons.... but Stephanie liked it, and she's now thrilled that she is "famous" cos she is on display in the shop!!!!!

Angelrat.

Wow it's Wednesday!

Great start to the day today, the kids slept in! They had been up until very late (or is that very early!) last night, and Robert and Stephanie didnt surface until lunchtime! Even Lachlan didnt get up til about 9:30 so it was really really quiet here. LOVELY!

Angel is going demented. She has put all the paper towelling from the bottom of her cage to the top shelf, and she's keeping the Undertaker up there too. When the 'Taker tries to get down, Angel nips her to keep her up. OK, Angel IS the 'Taker's mum, but really, Undertaker is 9 months old! I would wonder if she was pregnant but I dont think she met any boy rats when she got out of her cage not so long ago. Plus she isnt particularly fat...! Psycho Angel.

Stephanie and I spent a fun afternoon at Bernadettes, we were making star albums. Stephanie liked mine so she wanted on too. Hers is pink (of course!) and full of bright stickers and random photos, but it's a fun album. It took two and a half hours to make!!!!!

Payday tomorrow, hooray hooray hooray. Gotta buy Robert some new shoes (pooie! I HATE shoe shopping), and probably pick up some pencils, markers and the like for the kids for next term.

Cheerio for now!

Monday Morning

It is soooooo nice when it's Monday but NOT a school day! No Mondayitis around here!!!!! The kids are all asleep still, they were up late last night watching Police Academy movies. Scott has decided that late-night movies are the way to go these hols, so Stephanie and Robert are both camping out in his room so they can all watch in comfort. Poor Lachlan falls asleep too early and so he misses out...

TTFN - I'll put some pics of my star album in here later once I've uploaded them. It's pretty spiffy, if I do say so myself - Stephanie wants one too!

Sunday Stuff

It's amazingly windy today! I'm glad I'm not teaching - for some reason kids seem to be silly as chooks on windy days. Weird!

I visited Bernadette AGAIN today, got some Urban Lily to make a LO for her UL challenge. I'm going to make a flower border for a pic of Stephanie, I hope it looks as cute IRL as it does in my imagination!

There's a South Park marathon on Foxtel. I dont think Robert is likely to go far from the telly until it ends! I think South Park is clever but I surely couldnt be fagged sitting and watching it 24/7...!

Oh well, time to go cut flowers......

Goals for This Week...
* Get my domain name registered.
* Make lots of little tags for the craft market.
* Finish my star album.
* Enter Bernadette's UL challenge.

Saturday Evening - or - Fun at the Funny Farm

*sigh* I must be the only mother in the world with a footy "oval" in her lounge room... Our loungeroom has no furniture (!) so the kids play footy in there. They use a vinyl covered foam ball about the size of a mutated tennis ball, and they use the arches at either end of the room as the goals. I have to have my bedroom door shut or else the footy gets in.... I sometimes wonder, are all kids like mine, or am I just lucky (!!??)

They are resourceful, at least. As we dont have any kind of timer, they set a Nintendo game on computer mode so it basically battles itself for five minutes. Each quarter lasts for five minutes. There is even a chime at the one-minute-to-go mark. As usual, Scott has kicked a**, but it seems to have been a good match as there was no crying, and they walked off the "oval" congratulating each other.

Well, now it is all quiet on the western front, I can go back to my scrapping zone.

In the words of the immortal Kev Heinze,
CHEERIO!

Saturday October 1

Dang Scott, he got me with the pinch-and-a-punch before I got him. I was actually thinking about it while I was shopping but when I got home I forgot - and HE got ME.

So far today I have done the shopping, done two loads of washing, got through the green polluted planet in Ratchet and Clank, checked to see if any of my missing CJs had turned up (they hadnt, note to self, dont do CJs unless you know ALL the participants!), and downloaded some Swans pics so I can do a LO of Scott's happiness when the Swans won the premiership. Of course, I also need to get some red card, must go see Bernadette (wow, that's hard to take!)

Lachlan came home from being at Anthonys' place, clutching a handful of daisies he'd picked. (Goodness knows were, someone presumably now has a bald daisy plant!). I was sooooo touched - what a sweetie!

TTFN
