Girls day out....


Susannah and I had a girls day out today - we went Christmas shopping, went to the scrapbook store together (which was fun except that a lady went to the bathroom, came out and left the door wide open and it stunk out the entire store and then we couldn't stop pulling faces and giggling the whole time lol - omg it put me off buying anything lol).

We also went for lunch together. I took Susie to Montanas - there are moose and deer heads on the walls and the whole restaurant is made to look like a hunting lodge - they bring you paper to go on the table and you can then draw and colour all over the table!!! we had fun drawing Santas and Christmas trees all over the table! I had roast beef and yorkshire pudding, and Susie had a turkey sandwich and skewers of shrimp! It was fun!

We were exhausted by the end but it was fun :) She got all her shopping done and I picked up a few things too!

New Years Resolutions....

What are your New Years Resolutions.....for 2009?

I have a few thought out - and yes I AM one of those terrible people that makes and often breaks them lol but I like to make them now and in September lol......I'm going to have a think today and then add them here:

Tuesday....

Please don't get me wrong...I didn't say I was unhappy. I'm not unhappy. I simply said I wasn't feeling 'Christmasy'. I'm not interested in Christmas. To me Christmas is in the way - its preventing the work on the house being completed - its a waste of time and money - its causing stress to a lot of people I love and care about - needless stress that a lot of people could do without. And it feels like only last month that we did it all last time!!! Maybe if we had Christmas every two years it would feel more special and less materialistic.

THAT was my point!

Christmas aside, I am fine, happy and well. Lloyd and I have been spoiled with all our date nights together lately which has been a lot of fun and lots of trips to the Indian restaurant in town lol) the kids are all doing great, Chris seems a LOT happier lately thankfully too! Abigail is returning to homeschooling which should help her relax after a few weeks of being home - once the others go back to school and our routine gets settled (again the holidays are in THE WAY ggggrrrr). The work done on the house so far is STUNNING.

I will be wearing my new size 6 pants (trousers) on Christmas Day and they will be loose!!!! This will be very weird lol - on Sunday I tried on 4 bathing suits and they were ALL too big!!! One was a tankini and it looked terrible because it was TOO BIG!!!! It was a size 8 lol!!! Um....I need to go shopping at WEM next week - I saw one in the swimwear store there that I loved but then we couldn't find the store again when we tried to find it!!! So my size 8 pants are all a bit big on me now and I need to get some size 6's.....and I could fit in size 4's if I wanted!!! I am forever grateful to Tanya for the recommendation of Topamax - my migraines are slightly improved but not half as much as my body ;) and it has been EASY!!

And like the commercials say - for the first time this new year, I will not be choosing weight loss as my New years resolution!!!!!!

Hmmmm which brings me to my question for my next blog post!

Anyway, today Susannah and I are having our girls day out - she is going to get her siblings gifts - our annual tradition - and then we have lunch together.
