Saturday night..

31 May 2008

Boy...the weeks are just flying by....
I seem to always be playing catch-up.... and my to-do list never gets any shorter.
I have mail sitting here waiting to post...
Layouts needing to be scrapped....
I owe emails.... letters....phone calls... and parcels... and it will all happen.... as I get to it.

Dose 7 went without a hitch on Thursday..... this time John took me... waited with me through out the entire treatment....and then drove me home again..... we came home via the SAAS South Office... and I was able to get my 'Project' that I will be working on. ...and sheesh... its a doozy. Not sure if I can even do it....but Ill have a go.

Had a wonderful visit from Belinda and Makenzie yesterday... I gave them the grand tour of the new house... and then sat and chatted... shared some recent layouts... and drank coffee.... I was smiling to myself all day after they left.... we must catch up more often...

Ian has been leveling the yard and carting dirt all week....the fence is ordered...and was supposed to arrive this week (but I cant see it out there anywhere...lol)...so hopefully it arrives next week. Tomorrow we plan to start filling in some garden beds....and maybe even plant some plants...its so much fun getting the garden organised.

Brent and Alex are well....and I'm getting used to them not being permanently here...they still drop in often...and can smell home cooking from their place I'm sure. Brent has begun working at a packing shed this week.... so he has full time work packing oranges during the week...and then works his casual shifts at GAME on the weekends.....that should help the bank balance.

Mitch played footy at Moorook today ... they lost by approx 2 goals...but he was named in the best players...so he was happy.

Briony played Netball at Waikerie.... they also lost... and she was also named in the best players.

Ian played golf today...I have no idea if he won or lost....but he won a golf ball...so we are just one big happy family tonight...lol

Well....I'm deliriously tired... as you can probably tell by my dribble.... so Ill share a few layouts....and be off to bed I think.....
...oh and the Scrapboxx newsletter is out again..... as usual... its full of inspiration....layouts...and delicious new products...

  6. You know how much I love our catch ups Mardi - the only part I don't like is leaving...lol. I told you that I would keep you if I could...;)
    It's funny - we live so close, yet it's hard to find time to get together. Life is just too busy!

    Yummy layouts - they look just as fabulous on here as they do irl.
