Craziness

One more sleep till the big man in the red suit pays us a visit. I ducked out to the shops this morning to grab a few things. Pure madness. Glad I don't have any need to go back today!

Started to think about new years resolutions yesterday. Then reminded myself that I try not to get caught up in the whole resolution thing. I'm going to try and focus on being a nicer person. I'm such a cow sometimes. Thing is, I know I'm being a cow but I can't stop myself. Whats with that? Like last night, the power went out. I couldn't find the number in the yellow pages for Origin and the kids were bouncing around.. I was getting so pissed off! Why? Its not as if I was in the middle of anything. Maybe I was pissed that my two boys can find fun in running around in torchlight while I just sit there annoyed at the inconvenience. Anyway.. hopefully a nicer Shelley in 2011.

Before the nice Shelley comes out to play though, I need to have a whinge about my car. I can't remember when I last had it serviced. Why do I leave these things so long? Took it to be serviced yesterday because of the strange noises it was making. Ouch... $850 later. Plus I need to take it back asap to have the timing belt done... ouch ouch ouch. Hopefully I've now learnt my lesson and will have it serviced more regularly. I had to have the brakes done yesterday too - they started to make that awful grinding sound when we were up in Toowoomba.

While i'm on the shit off bandwagon... I've made a mistake in the latest project. I'm hoping I can get by without having to pull any stitching out though. I've left a row of about 7 stitches out of silhouette of the soldier to the left. Funny thing is, even though no one will ever notice I'll know its there lol. Progress shot - I must have a mark on my camera lense because the cloth does not that that smudge mark on it in real life.

Its forecast to be a wet wet wet Christmas here. I'm glad we didn't have any grand plans to have the family over for a barbecue. Its going to be a nice quiet one here. Seafood, ham and salads. Finished off with plum pudding and custard.. YUM!
