RIP "yes"

Has anyone else noticed the death of a very dear friend? It was often the friend that found us taking on much more than we intended or needed, but 'yes' has been killed off. Instead we now have the 2006 /07 buzz word ...... 'absolutley' !?
It's on the morning TV, it's on midday TV, it's in everyday life and phone conversations! It has taken over as the preferred reply to all statements!
I wish I had never noticed it, because now I hear it everywhere. Bring back plain old yes or OK...........please!

Absolutely I hear you answer..........arrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Going Down

I have joined up at my local weight reduction club. It is more a support group and social outing I think!
I need it for the motivation and accountability. If I have somewhere to go each week and weigh in I know I will be more successful than trying to go it alone. I have lost 2.8kg in 3 weeks. I would like to get to goal and stay there this time!

Farm Fantastic

Home again. Traffic was a shocker, nose to tail from about 5km away, but we made it in time. The girls drew a big crowd which was fantastic. I know I shouldn't compare, but compared the dance school that was on after them, our girls really enjoyed themselves and got into it - entertained!!

We then spent the rest of the day exploring and came home with the usual bags full of brochures. Found some great olive oil lip balm and some awesome smelling hand made soap. Try as I might I never did catch the Johnny Cash or Slim tribute shows...poo bum wee bugger and shit!

Harbour Bridge

Kesley arrived home from camp yesterday. She slept most of the afternoon after the long bus trip overnight from Sydney. They have visited Dubbo Zoo, the dish at Parkes, snow fields, Parliament House, War Memorial and Questacon to name a few.

It was very cold down south and Kelsey's comment on her first snow experience - I hated it!

The old digital camera played up a bit (bugger!) but what photos she did take are pretty awesome. Apparently not many of the cameras did work because of the cold. They must be set to Queensland weather! LOL We are off to Farm Fantastic today, Kelsey is dancing and I want to catch the Johnny Cash and Slim Dusty tribute shows if I can. Will probably come home with lots of brochures and very sore feet.

Here we go?

Well I can't quite believe I have done it! Gone and gotten myself a blog. After always saying what a waste of time they were and making up silly sayings for B L O G ......but hey I got sucked in! I have enjoyed keeping touch with so many online friends and sharing in the goings on in their lives, and all by sitting on my bum.
Maybe it's the death of the telephone? No more calls to see what we've all been up to, just a couple of keystrokes and it's all there in black and white and technicolour!
I am sure I have a lot to learn, to make it all pretty, take it or leave it, this is where I am. LOL
