Willow!

We may have inherited a new member of the family!

Meet Willow!

She is gorgeous......but will she make Jimmy any less neurotic??? or will she become like him???

My vote apparently does not count, it is 3 to 1 and even Jimmy and the cats seem won over!!!

Time will tell..........

A fun day out! Cupcakes and more cupcakes!!!

Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Karen. For her birthday I bought us a cupcake decorating class . It was run by Jennifer Graham from Crabapple Bakery.

When we arrived these are the sample cupcakes that greeted us!

Oh my goodness!!! What had we let ourselves in for??? They were amazing!!!!

It was a large class and we spent the first section of the class with Jennifer sharing her knowledge of baking and decorating. After this came the scary part - having a go ourselves!!! We had six cupcakes to decorate but somehow I was so bad at the 'blue' one I ended up with 8 to take home. These are mine...... I am happy with how they ended up but it was much more involved and difficult than I expected. Although I bought a piping set I am not sure just how much I will use it, I am very sure though that I will  use the pot of glitter I bought, that was definitely Karen and my favorite decoration!!!

Since I last posted......

Since I last posted.......
- HS has played his first game of football and escaped uninjured but losing by a massive margin!
- no football today as he has gone on a fishing charter
- hockey began again today for the 'horsey' one who is in the A Grade team, they had a win and she got a goal
- a flying trip to the big smoke to buy shoes and jewellery for the 'horsey' one for dinner dance which is fast approaching
- a 'practice' fake tan (a freebie) for the 'horsey' one, she is now a walking advertisment
- SH has had a trip to Tassie for a conference
- while SH was away I did fulfill my parentel obligations and I did feed my children and wholesome food at that!
- Work has interfered with life!!! anyone else have that problem?
- I attended parent teacher interviews with the 'horsey' one , without SH again!, a trip to Tassie was convenient!
- I managed to get to quilting today and worked on my clamshells, left early to see some hockey but misjudged the time and missed the whole game, oops!
- made a new slice, will post photos and the recipe tomorrow!

In a nutshell that is it, nothing of any great excitement or interest...................

I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER AND ONE DIRECTION. THEY ARE THE SPUNKYEST BOYS ALIVE AND I WISH MY DAUGHTER COULD MARRY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM XOXO

Just wondering?

If the last time you played football was in year 10 and in the first 5 minutes of the first game of the season you broke your ankle and you had 2 major injuries in the last 6 months, one  involving your left wrist and the other involving your right hand and a bone graft from your hip would you ever consider that playing football this season for a senior country side was an option or a good idea????
As he is 20 years old he is not paying a lot of attention to what Mum has to say and trust me she is saying plenty!!!!!

Easily distracted!!!

Sprung!!!! SH has just caught me bloghopping , answering emails, looking on facebook and generally doing anything rather than the pony club treasurers books that I promised to do and used as an excuse not to go for a walk with the dog......mmmm and we wonder where the 'horsey' one gets her time management skills????/

but I just found he had put the left over gravy (to be fair - in a honey jar) from the weekend in the pantry thinking it was very runny honey?????

Looks like you will not find any blog content of interest here tonight, apologies xx

Over too soon!

Well it is back to reality and work again tomorrow and I will have to limit the coffee and chocolate being consumed! Such a hardship!! Winter weather here today, a good day to have a final Easter celebration and have lunch with friends. We took a vegie dish and were in charge of dessert (what a surprise!!) so made a triple choc brownie and a white choc and caramello brownie! Even better there is still some at home to enjoy because I am sure I have been deprived over the last few days!!!!! Lucky 'horsey' one is still on holidays for another week so she will enjoy sleep ins along with a lot of year 12 study. We may have a flying trip to the city later in the week to find shoes and jewellery for dinner dance which is fast approaching.
