Went and saw Breaking the Code yesterday at Mordialloc Theatre Company. Went to see Matt, and found an old friend in it as well (Steve Shinkfield). We really enjoyed it, all of us. It was a drama, but there were plenty of funny moments - not sure I always laugh that much in a comedy. The sherry beforehand may have broken down some of my ( Read more... )

So, Jonny's out of Idol. *pout* Could have done with a good solid hair-washing (I'd have bathed him!) and some advice re clothing, but the boy was cute under that hair, and he could sing.

*edit* Oh yeah, he could also do with learning how to perform. But still ... nooooooo!

Funny the difference somebody's attitude can make. So I'm doing this huge filming/editing job as a favour for a friend. Yes, I knew what I was getting into, and yes I'm getting $500 for it. However, that's about a quarter of what I think the job's worth at the low end of my estimation, so I consider it a favour rather than a job as such. However, ( Read more... )

Sometimes, when the kids are being particularly annoying, I wonder how children ever make it into adulthood. And then they go and do something that just melts my heart. Yesterday I was having a meltdown over a job I'm doing - doing as a *favour* to a friend, no matter how much she may think that tossing a few dollars my way gives her dominion over ( Read more... )

So I was at an underwear store today, one that supposedly prides itself on being able to fit anybody (or at least it used to), and out of the whole store, there were only two stands that claimed to have D, DD and E sizes! We're the ones who most need a bra, and yet they're so dang hard to find! And rarely are they pretty. *pout* Oh well, I ( Read more... )

I was petting my cat the other day, and I was about to stop when he gently took my finger between his teeth and pulled my hand back toward him, then started rubbing his face against it. The message was pretty clear. :)

Test-drove a Nissan Micra today. How bleedin' cute is it? And not as cramped as I'd expected it to be. I used to own a Festiva, so I know small cars are bigger than they appear, but this one does look even smaller than the Festie. But the kids' legs would fit in the back seat there for many a long year yet - heck, *my* cows ... I mean calves ... ( Read more... )

Just means too early to rise. I don't feel particularly healthy, wealthy or wise now, come late morning.

Today we rode our bikes along EastLink for the open day. At least we were smart enough to choose the 10km family ride over the 30km "fun" ride option or the 65km challenge. I think we did about 16km all up by the time we rode from the car to the official start of the ride (and back). The trailer makes a huge difference - I am so thankful that ( Read more... )

Got paid today for Knowing (a bit more than expected too, so huzzah on that), and it comes in good time. My favourite jeans are starting to look silly-big on me, so mama really needs a new pair. Let's just say that I can pull them off now without undoing them. This is excellent though, b/c I was feeling a little discouraged in my self-reduction, ( Read more... )
