air but it is only about 25 outside anyway! It is supposed to be in the mid forties later in the week but I won't care 'cause my air con is fixed!!! Hurrah... hurrah... lots of happy dancing!!
Had a busy weekend. Spent a lovely girls day out on Saturday with Susy and Maria. We took off for Mount Gambier for the day. Visited 3 scrapping places and had a lovely lunch and afternoon tea. We scored some bargains - definitely a good day! What a way to spend the day, even if the car had a sheepy smell!! Thanks Susy!
Sunday was cool enough for housework so that is what I did - all day!!! Vacuuming, packing up Christmas stuff, mopping, washing, dusting, ironing - I now have a very clean tidy house and am allowed to do scrapbooking today - yayyeee. So back to it....
Quote:Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

Children
This is a photo of my gorgeous big boy. He is almost 14 and is mostly a typical teenager. I find it very hard to get a decent phot of him. I caught him here while he was talking, after lunch on Christmas day.
Quote for today.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men - Frederick Douglass 1817 - 1895

Only a quote today....
too dang hot to do anything else.
There are only two ways to live your life. One as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Albert Einstein
With that thought I bid you good night.

A little bit naughty...
I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.' -- Eleanor Roosevelt
I love Eleanor Roosevelt's quotes she said some doozies!! She must have been an amazing woman!
Today is stinky hot - yep no air con man with the much anticipated part - they hope it will be here Monday - bloody better be!!!! Today only got to 39 not the predicted 40 - that is a blessing isn't it??? NOT!!!
A friend texted me and said they were coming through on their way to Adelaide - did we want to meet them at the swimming lake for a cool down before they went on their way. Most certainly I said! The breeze was cool enough and the shade thick enough for this fatty to sit and watch everyone else in the water - gotta lose some more weight so I am brave enough to venture out into the togs world! Anyway was lovely way to spend a couple of hours - came home to a late lunch and then lay down for a nana nap.
It was quite nice on the bed with the fan whirring - sleep..... not likely!! Decided to jump up and tidy Dan's Lego infested room. Put up the new shelves I had painted earlier in the week. He hates it when I say I am going to clean and tidy his room but after the inital whinge he joins in and helps me and is so happy in his tidy clean room after that we don't see him for days!! Well worth the effort of the cleaning on my part - a quiet happy kid - what more could a Mum want for??
I know a good coffee - finished that now too. Yum. I am so glad I bought Andrew a coffee machine for Christmas????
Okey Dokey gotta go revive the yard now and maybe splash myself as well. See ya tomorrow!

Three Out Of Three
days of blogging for the year - hurrah for me!
Have spent the day hoping that the air conditioner repairman would pull up out the front with the new part - it is going to be 40 again for the next 2 days!!! But no - haven't seen him! Poo Bum Wee - that means I'm gonna be awfully hot tomorrow!!!
Did some scrapbooking this morning - worked on my "Me Right Now" mini album for the local shop. Was enjoying myself for about 3 pages then did a crap one and stopped for the day!! Will share when it is completed.
Today's quote:
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury. -- Groucho Marx
An appropriate one for today - as Andrew and I have been married for 21 years today! I said last year -"you get less for murder!" Must be onto my 2nd consecutive term now!! LOL!!
Anyway hope you all had a great day - see ya tomorrow!

Happy Second Day of the Year
TODAY'S QUOTE : The cardiologist's diet: If it tastes good, spit it out.
It was pointed out to me that yesterday's quote was missing the fifth main food group - chocolate, so to rectify that the Irish Coffee has have chocolate sprinkled on top!!!
Yesterday we spent the day at the beach. It has been very hot here - 44 on Monday!!! We thought we had been transported back to Western Queensland. The best bit is that our brand new air conditioner went on the fritz last Saturday. The new part is still not here! Much cooler today though - only 30 - thank goodness!!
Anyway to get away from the heat off we went to Port Macdonnell. Yep it was cooler - about 25 and very windy. The only one who went for a swim was Daniel. I did stand in the water most of the time though - it was delicious!!
And last but definitely not least -
Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law, Sheelagh.
Hope you had a lovely day! Pressie is on its way.

Windswept tussocks of grass on the foreshore.
Windswept dog, Pixie, on the beach.
Windswept Daniel playing in the sand.
And a perfectly happy seagull not fazed by the wind at all!!
And last but definitely not least -
Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law, Sheelagh.
Hope you had a lovely day! Pressie is on its way.

Happy New Year
Can you believe it - another year just beginning???
Lots of people talk of making resolutions.... I have been thinking about what mine could be but they are the same every year - have been for the last 20 years!!! Lose weight etc etc.
So I am not going to say them..... This year's resolution is to blog more! That's so easy becasue I haven't done a lot in 2007, so 2008 will be a breeze! LOL!!
I have been thinking of starting each blog with a quote - serious, funny or just plain silly.
So here is the one for today....
Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat. -- Alex Levine
And with that I bid you all a Happy New Year. May it bring all you could wish for and more!
