A month ago from the last post ...

facebook summary since the last post ... the week according to facebook lol

Wed

has had a gutsful :-l

Tues

Ate too much orange choc chip ice-cream .. :-p .. and is ignoring the dinner dishes .. while hubby snores on the chair ;-)

.. is friggin' chilly .. (but fire now going) .. went for a walk .. got drenched .. but that was OK .. until I got back to the car to realise I forgot my change of clothes .. so was a bit soggy picking boys up from school .. then glasses dilemma was sorted .. came back to do calves and got drenched again .. so warm .. yummy mince dish for dinner to warm us up!

..what a wet windy and wild day ... was thinking of going for a walk this afternoon .. but bbrrrrrr... will have to be wrapped up warm!

Mon

.. plan for today .. go for walk .. get groceries and then the usual after that .. :-)

.. is ready... don't ask me what for, but I'm ready dammit!

Sun

is watching the pursuit of happyness .. and thinking it still makes me all emotional even tho' I've seen it sooo many times before .. and multi-tasking and reading a book in the ad breaks .. while thinking she 'should' be folding washing ;-p

.. jeepers it's turned cold .. off to get wet and goobered on .. lol

round up of the boys rippa rugby today (after yesterdays tournament was cancelled due to thunder lightening and rain) .. so there was an exhibition game by the under 6's (boys vs the other team) .. speeches, awards and then the 'bun fight' .. some photos here: http://roundthebendnfurtherdowntheroad.blogspot.com/2009/08/last-day-of-season-for-rippa-rugby.html

SAt

............/\................\o/............. ....... Shark! Help!!!

says - Try to keep repeating the phrase "Red lorry, yellow lorry"

is a little teapot short and stout; here is my handle, here is my...other handle? Shit, I'm a sugar bowl!

wonders if the queen ever pulls the duvet right up to their neck and says.. "look philip I am a stamp"

was in a better mood..... yesterday. bwaahhhaaa!

..is sitting watching the Aromoana movie on tv3 while eating Neopolitan icecream with choc chips added .. while hubby is fast asleep in the couch .. typical *rolls eyes*

yay rugby tournament was cancelled due to weather (rain, wind, thunder, lightening) .. but of course when the time came had cleared up ... now tell me does this make sense??? .. they are now going to play a game of rippa rugby tomorrow then have their team photo .. imagine kids, mud and a rugby ball .. then photos .. can you tell it was a male who organised that ..

 

31/7 - Fri

went to this show: http://www.artsfest.co.nz/pennyAshton.html last night .. so "embarassingly" funny .. had a sore face afterwards .. had to be open minded ... but I thought it was hilarious .... just what was needed for the "arrghhh" week ;-p

Phew .. was a positive appointment .. no deterioration from last year - wahoo .. few concerns the same as last year .. but no worse - so that was "pleasing" Dr said .. so YAHOOOO!!! .... and good news he can play soccer next year .. which is fantastic .. cardiologist is of the mind .. do what he can while he can .. so that's good too .. phew .. such a relief .. and also appts go back to yearly !!!! :-)

thanks everyone .. it's such a relief .. can semi-stop worrying for another 12 months ;-p

Great news Cheryl!!

..pulling hair out .. trying to keep calm .. was a cr*p night with one boy with nightmares and one little missy full of sn*t ... my *cold* seems to just simmer away .. got up late so dropped boys at school and missy at carers .. then got lunch organised for hubby as he's kinda STRESSED big time with farm stuff .. and yeh stressed about today's appt for Cam .. but will probably be fine :-)

All About Zodiac Characteristics and Personality

Cheryl just analyse his/her Zodiac Characteristics and Personality.

All About Aquarius Characteristics and Personality

Aquarius Characterisctics and Profile
The symbol for Aquarius is the Water-Bearer, a universal man who is pouring forth water from a jug. This universal man represents the community of mankind. The waters of life flow, like ideas coming from the unrestrained mind. Many people mistakenly think that Aquarius is a water sign, but it is an intellectual air sign. As such, Aquarius can be interested in concepts and ideas. Because of its universality, Aquarius can seem somewhat detached from personal emotions. It´s not that you Aquarius don´t have feelings; it´s just that yours are different from most others. You dance to the beat of a different drummer.
Element: Air
The air of Aquarius can be like the winds after a lightning strike. Large amounts of air are moved around suddenly in such a storm, and that which survives this intensity gets to enjoy the calm after the storm.
Eleventh House: Future
Friends will support our dreams of the future.
Key Planet: Uranus
As the key planet of Aquarius, it encourages us to rebel against social injustices and to seek freedom of expression in our lives.
Aquarius Greatest Strength:
Your eclectic way of seeing things
Aquarius Possible Weakness:
Know-it-all attitude puts others off
