As Days Pass By
I'm almost tempted to call this the ultimate update. lol So many little things in life have been happening. This here, that there. It wouldn't make much difference in your life if I didn't tell them, but each in someway has made a difference in mine. So why don't we do my favourite list trick? ;)
* Abscent
The reason I've kind of been abscent lately was firstly because I was extra sick and just had to "escape", but these last few days have been because my wonderful grandparents are here. Plus I've been faithfully slogging away making a so-called website/blog for my darlin' older sister, Tach, and her hubby, Matt. I promise to give you their web address as soon as they begin posting so you can all pop over and plague them with comments ;)
* Odd Site Decor
To explain my stuck-in-mistakes look at the moment. I decided I needed a short break from my purple wildflowers, so I popped up my latest favourtie photo. Then found myself with this ugly green for background accents. In an attempt to fix that I ran into a cul-de-sac and haven't had time to try and climb my way out yet. Unfortunately I hit the Stop button to keep my blog from republishing too late, and so you all have to live with it for the time being.
* Mother's Day!
That one day that always hits you every year when you're not expecting it. lol I always have so much trouble finding the *right* thing that this year the three of us (Josh, Hannah, and I) pooled together and bought her a card that said on the front: "My Mum is Adventurous" and on the inside "thanks for encouraging my sense of adventure". To give her the opportunity to prove she was adventurous we bought her chilli chocolate. The expression on her face was halarious. And just to prove that we aren't cruel children, she actually likes it now.
* Silver Anniversary
As of yesterday my extroidinary, wonderful, wild, insane, loving, fun parents have been married for a total of 25 years! How amazing is that? It's over half of their lifetimes. And to celebrate they're hoping to be able to go over seas in August. Maybe Vanuatu because it's actually cheaper to do a full-fledged trip over there than to go to Western Australian (and more exotic too!). To tell the truth, it'll be the first time my Dad has been out of Austrlia, too.
* New Blogger
Blogger has upgraded and renewed itself. All-over. They now have tons of great templates (If they had have been up when I first signed up I don't think I would have ever taught myself HTML), their own comments, and---yes! So much :D Tach reckons that since I learnt HTML I've tunred into a computer/internet nut...yes, well...I'm hoping to have my own website out on the net in July. Who knows if I can figure out how to use FTP before than, though. *grimaces*
* B'day Wish List
BTW, just so y'all (yes, Kayci, I spelt it without the extra '. And Ruth Ann no comments :P) it's my birthday on July 9th! Because of the blank expression on Mum's face when I asked her what I was getting for my birthday, I've begun a wish list. It does include:
> pistacio nuts
> The Bourne Identity DVD
> Anna & the King, the soundtrack
> money towards a $1,000 camera
> more winter PJs
> Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson
> the rest of the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson
> money for a facial or massage
> one year subscription to FTP
> money towards my US of A trip
> flat-screen computer with the works
> peppermint chocolate
Just so you know, I'm also accepting any donations towards my big-stop-in-Brazil-and-Europe trip around the world ;)
In addition I do add...
* Aussie to Texan Phone Call
Please note everyone this great historical moment. Kayci got her first phone call from an Aussie the other day! Yes, it's true. And if you'd also like to claim this same historical moment for yourself, I'm more than happy to help out for the miniscule sum of $6.50 (cost of the phone call that I have to pay :P) and peppermint chocolate. BTW, just to say, we had a fun chat. :D Wasn't it like 2 hours? About 1:00 in the afternoon for me and 11:00am for Kayci. Sorry, babe, obviously we didn't calculate right. I'll try to ring you *much* earlier next time. lol
