Currently I am counting down. Not to the due date, but to the day I finish work, next Tuesday. So many things have been put off to then. This includes doing any Christmas present organising, packing a bag for the hospital, washing copious amounts of baby clothes, actually sorting through the things that people have […]
Tagged Baby, blather, PregnancySo, I’ve been having to tell myself recently to not take everything my body does (pregnancy wise) personally. It’s not like it’s out to punish me. I don’t blame baby (which is good, right), but I do occasionally rail at Beau. After all, how fair is it that I: -can’t roll over in bed without […]
Tagged Baby, PregnancyI’ve been wanting a garden for a while. A few things have influenced this. 1) teaching a Horticulture unit 3 years ago. Seeds germinated and grew in much less than perfect conditions. We managed to grow beans in pots! If we managed to do that, I can grow veges. 2) There are teenagers nowadays who […]
Tagged gardenSo, as usual, I’ve been busy and while that always led to a certain amount of tiredness, I’d say that lumping the bump around makes me a more tired than “normal” (read pre-pregnancy/offspring). Mid last week I had a bit of a freak out over how life will not be normal for a long time, […]
Tagged Baby, blatherAhh, we have the internet at home once more 🙂 Well, we actually always had it, but we went over our plan cap and were having to pay per gig. Brrr. How could we not know that in NZ the gig cap is based on download and *upload* traffic??? Anyway, I have my sweet ‘net […]
Tagged BabyI do and it is seriously awesome. Well, I make lemon cordial and use that to make lemonade. It’s all good. I can’t remember the first time I made lemon cordial. I know I made it with my Granny though. Lots of my first cooking experiences were with Granny. All that I can recall were […]
Tagged FoodSo, a few years ago, I kinda got into knitting. Not enough to make anything big, but I totally ruled at garter knit scarves made out of fluffy wool. I also managed at least one beanie and a pair of fingerless gloves. I bought wool, needles and TWO books on knitting (the stitch and bitch […]
I am currently a provisional member in a club. It’s one with a long family tradition in *every* family, so you’d think maybe anyone could get in. You’d be wrong. No men allowed! Although there is a Man’s Auxillary. After that, the membership criteria can get a bit funny. At one end are women desperate […]
Tagged BabyI really can’t deny it anymore, because I am so well moved that I have started working again. Le sigh. I managed to get some time off between moving and working, mainly due to Beau also being at home for a few days. It was pretty much awesome to be hanging out with him. It’s […]
