Description}: Mother's Day last week I ran in the 8km Mothers Day Classic, a pink event raising money for breast cancer research. It was the first time mum had ever seen me run and she was overwhelmed with emotion. I didn't realise just how proud she was until I received a card in the mail this week. PS: I was aiming to run the 8km in less than 60 mins and I did it in 56 mins 37.3 seconds, so I was elated. :) Katie Pertiet: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/16081]Stamped Blocks No. 31 Brushes and Stamps[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/15227]Thin Classic Photo Frames Curled and Flat No. 01[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/11031]Banner Strips No. 01[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13411]Watery Banners Brushes and Stamps No. 01[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13687]Curled Journal Spots No. 06[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/15021]Hey There Kit[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13382]Artistry d'amour Kit[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13729]Flagged Sentiments No. 01[/url][/b][/u] Lynn Grieveson: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/15367]Loved One Kit[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/12477]Ripped and Stitched Do-it-Yourself No. 03[/url][/b][/u] Maplebrook Studios: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/16053]Just Linens Paper Pack No. 52[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/11814]Jelly Alphabet No. 20[/url][/b][/u] Ali Edwards: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/15289]Quote This Brushes and Stamps[/url][/b][/u] Font: Century Gothic Journalling (page 1): Dear Carol I am so very very proud of you. From where you were to where you are now. You have achieved so much. To see you run was so emotional and to see you finish was so great. You have made such great friends on the way and you look so fantastic. Keep up the good work. All my love, Mum xxxxx PS: Dad would also be so proud of you. xx Journalling (page 2): I was running the in the Mother�s Day Classic in Geelong, everyone was wearing pink for breast cancer research. This would be the first time mum had ever seen me run. She was pretty excited, all dressed up in pink along with the other race goers and families. She was snapping the camera like a crazed woman. When the race started and I ran by her, I heard her cheering, yelling out �Go Carol�. I was elated as I sped down the hill and through the finish line, having run the whole race. The first person I saw was mum and she was calling and clapping and cheering all at the same time. We then set about and enjoyed the carnival atmosphere watching other runners come through. I had thought she�d had a pretty good morning, despite the cold weather. During the week I got a surprise card from her in the mail. It was only then I realised just how proud she was of me. Thanks mum, I love you too.

It's almost cathartic to put it down there, and it's the type of journalling that some of it is hidden, some of it can be read, you get my drift. About the dark time we are going through in our relationship that has quite frankly broken down. But a story that will be integral to my family history so I am telling it.

I had grand plans to go jogging, but instead I rolled over and went back to sleep. I woke again 10 minutes later and lay there listening to Mike, he was fast asleep still. I toyed with the idea of staying in bed longer, but no, I had to JFDI, I had plans to jog and by heck I am a woman of my word, so I was up, fed the dogs and out the door. I ran the new route that I had made in my head and did the whole lot in one big jog, no walking! 2.4 kilometres, my best outdoor distance ever. I came home on a high, minus one gold earring :-( Obviously it was surrendered to the jogging Gods! The Christmas decos came down today, the most depressing day of the year. Mike ditched me and started work. It was only the dogs for company, even Molly wasn�t impressed and went to sleep. At least I knew Sonia was going through the same torture in Tassie, we were i-messaging each other. Late afternoon Mike decided to go out coin detecting, ah ha! Lucky and I were going to catch him in the act this time. About five minutes after he left I grabbed Lucky and we went for a drive and found him, he had no idea we were spying. He found a one dollar coin, woo hoo! The thrill of the chase he keeps telling me. Lucky and I then went for a wander around Tea Tree Lake, he was sniffing everything in sight. Cruisey night tonight, had the remainder of the turkey, watched the summer repeats of 60 Minutes, realised I�d forgotten the washing on the line and went out to get it and now it was damp and cold, so it�s now in the dryer. Really looking forward to tomorrow night, New Years Eve, the end of 2012.

That's the catch cry of the diet/health/exercise program I'm doing. Imagine you can't be bothered, it's all too much, the last thing you want to do is get up and exercise, or you've reached the end of your tether. Err ... I'll let you work out what the intials stand for! ;) I love this photo that Mike took at the start of a fun run I did back in February.

Even old Molly looks over it, so not interested in anything. Although it's the weekend, the life of a sole business owner means you don't get many days off, particularly when you work from home. Mike did a bit of work in the shed while I did the laundry from my overflowing washing basket. Then the dreaded ironing. Turkey toasted sandwiches for lunch, that's the best thing about Christmas leftovers. I scrapbooked in the afternoon, while Mike pottered. I then took Lucky for a late afternoon walk, I swear he pee'd at every tree. Made a delicious lamb, pumpkin, feta, bean and pinenut concoction from 12wbt for dinner, one of our firm favourites. Found the remainder of the red and green M&Ms in the cupboard! Eeeek, couldn't stop munching. Mike wanted a haircut during the evening. El cheapo, never goes to a barber. It was well overdue. I have no idea what I'm doing, I just use the clippers, cross my fingers and hope for the best. I like letting out a few �oops� comments when I�m doing it to keep him worried. Ha!

Roll on the weekend. Still feeling a bit exhausted after the last couple of big days, looking forward to doing nothing at all this weekend. But best laid plans and all, that may go awry. I went to the gym after work, I needed it. I ran on the treadmill, my best distance yet in one hit. 3.7km in 30 minutes. I was absolutely pumped. I�ve never run that far without stopping before. I just know I�m not going to be able to run 6km in the upcoming Surf to Surf fun run in January, but I�ll be doing my darndest to run as far as I can. Mike was going to wait for me to come home for a late dinner, so popped into Safeway for some salad things, so we can use the leftover ham and turkey with it. Absolutely gobsmacked when I saw hot cross buns in the bakery section. Are you freaking kidding me??? This just makes me sad. Easter is still months away. After dinner we played with Molly and Lucky, they had energy to burn, whilst the cat hightailed it over the fence. Mike settled down to read one of his new books from the Game of Thrones series that I gave him for Christmas. I played around outside with my new tripod taking photos of the clouds in the night sky that the moon was lighting up. Looked eeriely cool. I also played around with the sparklers, I have no idea what settings to put the camera on, I am going to have to google it. Mike went back to his reading, I did some scrapbooking, and the dogs and cat have gone to bed. Such a cruisey night.

It was one of those brilliant mornings to be alive, blue skies bright but not too warm yet. Mike was still in bed when I got home. I ditched the sales today, I'd normally go, but I wanted to get things ready for tonight. The kids were coming for dinner. I was in the throes this afternoon of prepping, cutting, dicing, washing dishes, and on and on it went and Mike decided to paint the window surrounds in the toilet. And then napped on the couch. His timing is amazing, especially when I could have done with an extra set of hands. I made Vietnamese rice paper rolls with three different dipping sauces, a peanut sauce, a honey soy, and a sweet chilli. Also a vegetable slice with a big bowl of salad. But the piece de resistance was the raspberry chocolate trifle. Even the jelly was made with real raspberries. The kids devoured it all, and announced it a terrific dinner. We love having all of them here for dinner, I know that Mike holds it very dear to his heart to have his children around, all happy and laughing. I see a look come across Mike's face, hard to put a finger on, but he lights up. A frenzy of gift giving, paper was flying everywhere, squeals of delight, it was just wonderful. We also gave Tabby and Aaron their engagement present ahead of their engagement party on New Years Eve. They loved the cutlery set. We watched a magician show on TV before Wes had to leave to head back to Melbourne, the other kids headed back to Warrnambool then too. And then there was silence. Dishes done and finally sitting down with our feet up. Christmas was now officially over.

Description}: Christmas Day was a big day, the two of us spent it on our own together and we crammed so much fun into the day and made sure we took lots of photos too (some with tripod and auto timer, some were selfies!!). So it ended up on two double page spreads, just because. By the way, I'm going all the way through to the end of the year to a very special evening on NYE, can't stop here!!

I was up and at 'em just after 7am and out the door for a jog. Mish had asked for a special Christmas gift, for 12wbt'ers to do some sort of exercise today and wear something Christmassy. I hope I gave the neighborhood a giggle as I jogged by wearing my santa hat. Even more impressive was that mike got up and took photos of me jogging down the street on the way home. Went back to bed and had breakfast and opened our Christmas stocking gifts. We just cruised today. It was a day for us. Amazing how many people want to invite you to a big gathering if they think you�re spending it on your own, but we love our quiet Christmasses here at home. We certainly make sure we have a blast. I got things ready during the morning for lunch, and made the choc fudge cakes for dessert, made sure I got a nice photo of both of us courtesy of my new tripod from mum, made a few phone calls and messages to family, gave the menagerie their gifts, yep Lucky�s new ball was definitely the best 5 minutes he ever spent! Didn't last long. We opened our gifts from under the tree. Mike was thrilled with the pang hat. He had completely forgotten about me making it, definitely a case of out of sight out of mind, so it was a great surprise. I love my new hiking back pack, and the beautiful " Live Love Laugh" necklace. How perfect for me, I will treasure it. Lots of other goodies, all perfect, we truly spoilt each other. Lunch was soooo good. Ham and turkey and lots of vegetables, gravy and cranberry. It was delicious. The dogs got a special Christmas lunch too. Mike ended up napping on the couch, the dogs played with their toys and then ended up napping too! I was the last one standing, there's a turn up for the books. I thought about my dad and just know he was enjoying watching over us. Hard to believe it�s been five years. Later in the afternoon we had the special chocolate fudge cakes with raspberries and ice cream. Delicious! That evening we ended up cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. Mike rang his Uncle Jim and Auntie Gwen tonight in the UK. The perfect end to a perfect day.

Bo was most put out that Wes was staying overnight and made it known last night. She usually sleeps on the spare bed, yep right we have a cat that has her own double bed! Meow meow, scratch scratch at the bedroom door. I got up just after midnight and picked her up and took her back to her basket in the lounge room. Ten minutes later meow meow scratch scratch again and then thump! She had actually pushed the door so hard it opened, it has a dodgy catch anyway. She was happy and slept on the end of the bed as usual. Wes got more than he bargained for last night! The day was so nice after the stifling night, the news broadcast said it was the hottest December night on record. The breeze today was just wonderful. Mike called it stumps about 5pm today but I knocked off at 1.30. I headed to the IGA to pick up fresh fruit and veggies for Christmas day. No lines so that was a bonus. Also free parking in Warrnambool, that made a change. Made pizza tonight for dinner and then we walked up to church for the Christmas Eve service. It was packed and we got seats in the back. It was nice singing Carols along with the community. Came home and Mike made his obligatory �Santa� calls. One to Eliza and Daniel; the other to Jessica and Sean. Boy, Santa has to think quick on his feet with some of the questions he�s dealt, these kids even remember things he told them last year. At the end of the conversation with Sean, Santa did a final �ho ho ho� and told Sean as he rang his jingle bells that the reindeers were getting restless and as Sean said goodbye, Mike heard a little voice say �I love you santa�. Yep, that�s the reason he still does this. A bit of magic never hurt anyone, even Mike. Mike has been closely watching NORAD on the computer as it's tracking Santa. It�s now 11.32pm as I�m typing this. Tomorrow Christmas Day will be upon us, the most magical day of year. So we better go to bed now before the bewitching hour is up, I�d hate to run slap bang into the big guy :-)

As we were walking around the junk, let�s face it, there was a lot of junk, old bathtubs, broken chairs, scratched records, boxes of crap, I noticed there was a table with odd pieces of beautiful English fine bone china. Mike had noticed me noticing it too. I couldn�t stay for the whole auction, so left Mike there with the words of �don�t bring any crap home� ringing in his ears. Imagine my suprise when I got home later this afternoon to see this little beauty sitting on the kitchen bench all shiny and clean. Mike had stood there in the rain when the downpour came, and bidded on it. Not only that, he got into a bidding war with a little old lady and still he won it. I think there was a bit of the thrill of the chase going on too, winning the auction lot. But when I saw this beautiful set and knowing the lengths he went to to get it, I know that this is love. This beautiful cup, saucer and plate set, discarded on a table, ready to go for fifty cents if need be, will get a second life to shine brightly in our home. Thanks Mike, I love you too honey.

Description}: Decided instead of going overboard this Easter, I'm sending out a card, maybe with a little flat choc bunny inside or caramello koala. Must apologise for not linking up, Mike backed up my computer and now I can't open Excel or my OUtlook, gaaaaah!!! He has to install something.

The Grampians

Description}: We have had Mike's uncle here from Scotland for the past few days and have been showing him around. The Grampians is my favourite place on earth, I visit whenever I can, which is far too infrequent. He loved it! This is a photo I took which had him in hysterics, I was crouching down and taking the photo through the fence in amongst the grass. I could hear him calling out ... "Aye, take a photo of it will you, what's all this wriggling round in the grass, it's there right in front of you lass!!"

Description}: After knowing I was planning to try my hand at art journalling this year, darling Pattie gifted me her two art journalling classes for Christmas. Such kindness I will never forget. So Pattie, for you, my very first attempt at an art journalling page. I hope you like it beautiful lady. Despite never having met, I will never forget you. Rest in peace and keep them in line in heaven.

Description}: Back on the December trail! This was a fairly busy day and I couldn't decide which photos to put in, so I overloaded it with photos :) Don't worry, I was in the middle of nowhere when I crawled down on the road and took that photo, no chance of being run over, I was the only person for miles, with only the cows in the nearby paddock watching me!

Couldn�t work out why until I rubbed my eyes and realised with Mike on one side of me, Lucky had hopped up on the bed and was curled around my feet, and the cat had decided to join us and snuggled in on the other side of me. Lordy Lord, no wonder I was hot. So I was up early after a late night and still feeling tired, but I have things to do! I made out a shopping list and headed over to Camperdown to Safeway to grocery shop, taking my trusty shortcut. I have to love a farmer with a sense of humour when I saw the farm gate with santa riding a cow, down near McKinnons Bridge. Something made me want to park and go for a walk along the shops over there and I ended up in Clobber. I swear the store was subliminly calling me, that�s my defence anyway, when I walked out with an amazing green jacket. I wasn�t even going to try it on because I didn�t think it would fit. I loved it and practically floated out of the store. I still have to get my head around that clothes shopping is now fun because I fit a regular size. It was warm today, Lucky found a good spot in the shade while I was practicing taking some bokeh photos of the cherry plum tree. Mike later said after he did a bit of tuning that he was practicing also ... napping! He was out like a light on the couch. Vietnamese Spring Rolls for dinner, I have only made these once before and I remember a disaster in trying to roll them. This is a practice run as I plan on having these as part of our Boxing Day dinner when the kids come. I also knocked up a batch of shortbread for some munchies for Christmas and Boxing Day. We went out to Bushy�s farm tonight, it was magical as always, I love the huge effort he puts in to delight the visitors. I wanted to practice with my tripod and he told me to go for it. He was most chuffed that I gave him some of my reindeer droppings too. It was a perfect Saturday night.

Another growth has developed, but this time it�s weepy. The vet said it needed to come out or it could ulcerate and infect. We looked at each other in dismay across the room with Molly laying on the floor, the area shaved so the vet could see the lump better. There�s still so much life in her eyes, but perhaps not her body, do we have the right to put her through the trials of the anaesthetic again? I can�t stand thinking of the alternative of her in pain if the wound infects. So we raised our eyebrows at each other, a silent agreement at that moment, then looked at the vet and said yes, to book her in. I�m so sorry girl, I know come Tuesday night you are going to be in a world of fuzzy confusion. I hold your heart in my hand and you hold my heart in your paws, and I�m just not ready to let you go, not just yet. I need to give you a fighting chance. You be a brave girl and I will be too, and everything will be okay. I promise.

I'm feeling a bit out of control at the moment. I was on early mail shift, but got up even earlier than needed to do a few more rows of that blasted good for nothing darn pain in the arse hat (note how the name has lengthened, it's not just "that darn hat" any more!) It was a terrific day, blue blue blue skies, just makes me happy. We had decided on giving Tabby and Aaron a really good cutlery set for their engagement present and I spent lunchtime going over all the various patterns, and ended up selecting an absolutely beautiful set for them. Mike loved it, thought it was a great choice, we really hope they like it. We plan on giving it to them on Boxing Day when they are here for dinner. I got home and Mike was ready, we were heading over to Terang to the Gala Traders Night. Quickly changed into my jeans, yay! my Levis now fit again, and off we went, stopping briefly to take a photo of the decked out mini minor just past Noorat. The late afternoon sun was really glarey has it was deep in the sky. We sat outside and had a nice cup of coffee at Cafe on Latte, the sun was bone warming. I tried to take a photo of Mike and he was all in shadow, he took a photo of me and I was awash with light. We wandered down High Street and stopped to buy tickets for the various raffles for the clubs, checked out the shops that had stayed open, and Mike ended up buying a big greasy hamburger for dinner, which he said went down really well. We were late going to bed tonight, being that Mike started watching Lord of the Rings on telly. I walked into the bedroom to see that Lucky had made himself right at home on my side of the bed. Naughty boy (naughty but cute).

Up at 6.30am and back to that good for nothing darn hat! It's going to be the death of me. I only have limited times to crochet without Mike seeing what I'm doing. He knows I started it, but I want him to think I've forgotten about finishing it and ta daaaaa, there'll be a surprise under the tree for him. Maybe! Lucky protected us from the Great Garbage Bin Monster which he does most Thursday mornings when he hears the truck rattling down the street. He almost does backflips chasing the truck up the fenceline. It was so nice after days of grey to see beautiful blue sky again, the sun was glorious. Lunchtime I popped down the street, BEDLAM! Ended up at Thomas the Jewellers and saw they had Jim Shore santas half price. Score! When I think back. it was Kelly from Designer Digitals who started my love for these santas after seeing a special scrapbook page she had made. Last year I bought the fantastic bagpipe santa, and now I have a cute new one holding a cat. And because I had parked outside Moonlight Lighting, I picked up two new swish light fittings for the toilet and laundry. Out to Spotlight looking for masquerade masks for Tabby and Aaron's New Years Eve engagement party. Looks like Mike is going as spiderman which should make him a happy chappy, and I got a black and silver mask for me. Tonight we headed over to Terang for the Terang Masons Christmas Party at the middle pub which we were looking forward to, they are a good fun crew. We had a lovely time catching up with Kelvin and Beth and hearing all about their overseas jaunts and saw some Christmas lights on the way home. Home, cuppa, bed.

I had taken my lunch to work so stayed in at lunchtime, watched The View, and continued with that blasted hat (as it�s now being called)!! I was meeting Lyn at 4.30pm for a coffee and cake at Wytons. It was so lovely catching up, we didn�t stop yacking the whole time. I�ve missed my friend since she retired at the start of November. We ended up closing down the joint, ha! I�ve always wanted to say that. Well it was obviously time to leave when we looked around and everyone had gone and the waiter was putting the chairs up on the tables. But not before a quick photo. I came home to see Mike painting the toilet. We are such procrastinators, we bought the paint back in September to do the toilet, bathroom, laundry and to date only the toilet ceiling had been finished. It looks so nice and fresh and has pumped me up to get cracking on the bathroom now. I had asked Mike to take a photo for the day's entry today and left behind my big camera for that purpose. He looked mighty satisfied when I got home from work, telling me to look on the camera, he took a great photo. Hmmm mysterious. Oh no! It was a photo inside the cupboard where I had stuffed one of his presents, he had found it!!! I remember now the other day, I had bought a singlet to put in his Christmas stocking from the menagerie, and had started wrapping it and saw him heading inside from the shed and quickly opened the cupboard and threw it in, paper and all. Oops, he found it. I did get excited though when I spotted a huge santa sack with a tag to me under the tree. Looked like fun gift wrapping as the tag had "Kathmandu" on it, one of my favourite shops. Adventure gear, I can't wait to open it!

Photoswap - for Ang

Particularly when she did such a gorgeous job with the photo I sent her.

SSL - I am a runner

Sat, 19 Jan 2013 06:35:53 +0000

by: carollee

Description}: Because I feel safe in my DD bubble I will post this photograph of me after the fun run. Sweaty me in lycra ... should be rated PG! ha I really must work on my "post race" dorky faces, or ensure Mike stops snapping the camera at every little move and waits until I look composed! I think I was flushed from the fact I did it, totally exhausted and finished on adrenaline at that stage. [[ edited to add - I ran about 3/4 of the race, walked about 1/4 of it, I'm still building up my stamina! ]] Scraplift of a fabulous page by sterkeurs [url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/ideas/showphoto.php?photo=187350&cat=fav]Polar Bear Swim[/url] Andrea Victoria: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/12313]Breeze Solid Paper Pack[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/11227]Nouveau Bloom Solid Paper Pack[/url][/b][/u] Katie Pertiet: [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13687]Curled Journal Spots No. 06[/url][/b][/u] [u][b][url=http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/14600]Lens Flare Brushes and Stamps No. 01[/url][/b][/u] Journalling: I never thought I would be able to use the term �runner� as a description of me, and yet now it is. I ran. I loved it. I was exhausted. I was elated. Mike was incredibly proud of me and snapped this photograph as I came over the finish line. I was proud of myself. My first ever timed fun run and now I have a PB, a time to beat. I really am now a runner.

Realising that I still have that hat to finish, I busied myself crocheting again in my lunch break. And yet I made another mistake and had to frog a bit of it. Billy Connolly has a lot to answer for. I stopped on the side of the road on the way home from work to take a photo across the paddocks to Mount Shadwell. I�ve always thought it kind of cool that Mortlake is based at the foot of the volcano, dormant at that. But then dormant isn�t extinct, maybe it will blow at any moment. Ha! Living on the edge! This is the scene, the countryside, that I see each day as I drive in and out to work, sheep grazing, cows on the way to be milked, kamakazee cockatoos, wayward koalas trying to cross the road, whoever would have thought I�d end up such a country girl. But the best sight of all when I am driving is the sight of the mount, because it means I�m nearly home. Got home tonight to the fresh smell of sweet grass, Mike had mowed the lawn, but it was too thick and sludgy for the catcher to work, so there are clumps of mowed grass in patches. Looks like we�ll have a green Lucky dog tomorrow!! Mike decided after that to head across the road for a bit of festive cheer with the boys. All he was planning to do was to take a map to them so they could find Bushy�s farm and see the Christmas lights, but they plied him with wine. He came home with a grin on his face. Oh ... and Ringo the Elf has finally made an appearance!

I joined with seven of the local 12wbt girls for a challenge where we bravely said we would climb a mountain. Mt. Abrupt in the Grampians was chosen, the day was selected and as we gathered at the base and looked up, and despite my bravado, I had serious misgivings in my ability. These 48 year old legs would surely not carry me to the top of that mountain. But carry me they did. Slipping through gravel, scrambling over rocks, holding onto tree limbs for support, hoisting up boulders, amazing views, lungs screaming, legs aching, laughter ringing out into the air, each of us encouraging the other but still going at our own pace. And there was no sweeter moment for me than reaching the summit. The air was cold, the wind whipped about us, but I was invigorated and at that moment, looking out across the neighbouring mountain ranges, I felt alive for the first time in a long long time. Flushed with achievement I realised I had no limitations. I had lost 20 kilograms, climbed a mountain and life really truly was beginning for me.

He saw me off with a smile! NOT! He's so not a morning person. After patting myself on the back and congratulating myself for finishing Christmas shopping and having everything wrapped and done, I remembered the blasted Pang Hat I'm crocheting for Mike, who wanted one so he could look just like Billy Connolly in�Journey to the Edge of the World�. This hat is going to be the death of me, I've already pulled it out three times! So I grabbed it to take to work and I spent my lunch break crocheting. Pressure is on. Maggie�s letter box that I pass on the way to and from work always makes me smile, the cow even has a santa hat on now. I met up with Jen, Michelle and Lisa for a movie night tonight, we went to see �Pitch Perfect�. Hardly anyone in the movie theatre, there were lots of empty seats. What a great feel good movie, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ended up late night shopping at Target singing down the aisles much to the amusement of staff, then went to the late night kebab shop. Yum. We drove back to Mortlake in tandem and I realized when we got back to Jens that I hadn't got a photo of us, so a hurried one as Lisa was getting out of Michelle's car. The girls are used to me and my camera so they didn't think this at all stange, in the middle of the street, in the dark! Mike had made himself pork ribs while i was out and did some work binding reeds, seeings I was getting home late. I got home to see him watching a special called Pricing the Priceless about paintings being genuine or forgeries on ABC. Had a cuddle on the couch which Lucky decided he wanted to join in. A cuppa and then off to bed.
