A Revelation or Two

Today tv provided me with 2 new revelations.

One a new show called Hillbilly Handfishin - umm hello, crazy people!!!

Im sort of tempted to send Rod though as it looks kind of fun in a sick twisted way and really, my twinkie lil toes are far to precious and cute to use as bait, so ill just watch him from the bank. - Wait, are there alligators there?!?

Two - a few posts ago I made fun of my husband for his debilitating condition,

Dadjokeitis

( ok slightly fun of my self as well, but as I also let you know about the teenage secret code that is eye rolling. So you know im really cool right?).

Well while watching the pilot of New Girl ( can I save love love love), I realized that I myself suffer from a debilitating condition

Wierdgirlsingitis....

(As you can sufferers look totally normal....ish)

Shortly before watching said show I made some sweet crisps ( can I say love love love) and whipped some cream to go with it, which caused me to sing Ahh Ahhh whip it, Whip it real good. Loudly. Very Loudly. At the top of my voice Loudly.

My microphone

Watching the show, where she randomly sings, my husband gave me that look ( now I know it was just cause I was singing so awesomely). I thought oh heck, I sing a lot, at random times at random things, from random words to start me off and give myself awesome theme songs. So I self diagnosed....

Wierdgirlsingitis

I dont know if its something I can come back from, or if I even should try and cure myself, cause really I would be just denying the world of such beauty as my voice. But Im a sufferer. Its something that will probably effect me for the rest of my life. Im sure my friends will be glad that I am coming to terms with this and will show me love and support.

The thing is though, Im sure I ant be the only sufferer, right?!? Come on 'fess up!

Ps - The television did give me another gift today - Grease. Rod was horrified about how much I can quote it. Does he not understand that that sums up good times in my early teenage years with my girlfriends?!?

PPs - I really promise you that I am a terrific singer, that whole voted worst singer in my final year of high school ( unfortunate true story...) - total jealousy, and the reason Rod wont let me sing in his band - he just does not want to lose me to international stardom!

PPPs - Layout is one I did last night, with awesome wallpaper from the opp shop, that Scrapbooking Master Beth and I found yesterday on our jaunt. Isnt my sweet Ty utterly kissable!?

linking at get your craft on at Todays Creative Blog

Already!

I cant believe January is almost over! Its gone past in a blur!

Holidays are almost over, Rod goes back tomorrow ( sob) and the boys back to school the week after that ( Josh to high school - sob sob).

My youngest nephew and my sons

January has been about family for us. We have used the month of his holidays ( the longest he has ever been off) to run off to my sister in laws holiday house, to go to Jamberoo water park and just small escapes to the local park , etc.

While Im not looking forward to any of them going back, Im looking forward to having more routine again, my days with less fighting, and a cleaner house ( and less fart and burp jokes!) Im also looking forward to having a bit more time to scrap and blog!

The layout is for scrap the boys - and pretty much sums up how we have spent our summer holidays - WET!!!!!!

Ps Im not sure how I feel about this one, and challenged my self to use only what was with in reach, and the background - a chux wipe - just so happened to be in reach!

PPs - was very excited to come back from our last mini break to find out that I had my first lol for the year picked up!! And to a mag I had not been pubb'd in before - creations - yay!

PPPs - How the heck did I get a HIGH SCHOOL aged child?!?!

Serious Affliction

My (hottie) husband suffers from a serious affliction, its one I find that a lot of men my age are getting and one that even I, on the odd occasion ( like long car drives) suffer from.

Dadjokeitis.

Thankfully this condition is not fatal. Its just one we all have to learn to cope with. I have hope that one day a cure will be found for the millions of sufferers around the world.

Rod has had this affliction from years, you know when it is in full force as its almost always followed by groans ( and the occasional eye roll from younger members of the family). And as I mentioned, Even I occasionally suffer from it. And as I mentioned, usually on long car trips.

We might of went away for a short trip this weekend. And we might of suffered this on the way there and back....

The symptoms might have looked like this

First we lamented the fact we would not be driving through Berry, as it was a berry good town, but it was berry far away so we should berry much get the use out of saying Berry as it might be berry offended.

You can imagine the joy on my preteens face as we went through this.

And even more so when we went through this...

Then as we passed by Kanahooka ( choose appropriate answer here depending on the age of your occupants - I dont know can she? /depends on how much you pay her... boom tish! - [that was a drum and a cymbal bash just incase you dont speak boom tish!])

Thank fully mine is only temporary - Im normally very very very funny - just ask said preteen - I know that eye rolls from him to me are just a secret code for - Gosh mum you are really funny I cant wait to share that with my friends. I hope you say/do that when we are out in public next.

Ps he also uses that code when I sing and so does my husband - except my husband secretly hopes ill offer to join his band as the singer......

PPs - Why does a cowboy wear boots?

So he doesn't hurt his feet when he kicks the bucket - feel free to insert your secret code eye roll here

Sharing is caring

My husband has a sacred spot — his studio ( originally our garage) and this has been his own space to get away from us all ( actually when he is in a foul mood I order him in there to play his guitar [ the other woman in our marriage] he comes out the other end much nicer!).

And just because he is the best guy in the world, he knew how much a lack of permanent space was bugging me ( I think part of the reason for my move away from craft last year) he gave me a section of his sacred space!!!!!!

And it's working!! I have been in and out of there can leave part finished projects etc, its just perfect — plus I get an added guitar music background, by a really hunky guitarist.

I love it. And I have been playing to my hearts content.

out for publication

See.

Ps - I was not compensated for this post, God provided him and I have given a review based on my own experiences.

PPs - see total hottie.

PPPs cant believe I just wrote the word hottie. I am sorry english language, I momentarily forgot I was not a 13 year old girl.=( Do thirteen year olds even still say it) , but you know its not my first time.

Slice of Sunday

Todays (or yesterdays) Slice if Sunday is brought to you, courtesy of the RockGod!

Thanks everyone that came out yesterday!

Ps - This weeks Slice could also be titled - The Other Women. Sometimes when he sitting there all quiet, I just know he is trying to figure out, who he would save first in a fire...................

PPs The Rockgod serenaded his mother for her birthday. I really do have the sweetest husband in the world ( even if I have to save myself  if the house burns down!!).

Old man

(taken the week we eloped ( 27 and 30), at movie world 2006)

Happy 34th Birthday to my fabulous rockstar husband, who is leaving me for the whole weekend to play a gig Sat night in the middle of far away.  Hope you had a fabulous birthday and have a rockins boys weekend.  The poor husband deserves a great time as he puts up with a lot ( well he is married to me!!)!

I couldn't do it with out you Babe!

A to Z, come and C

It is Friday ( ok so its extremely early early friday, but it's my mans Birthday and esp. as he is running off to a gig at Lyndhurst for the weekend, the day is for and about him!) and its art journal A to Z challenge Friday!

So C I actually had quiet a few usable words for this, and this is what I chose - Create. It's a simple word but it's really not just a word, it's a need in me. So it was perfect for this, Create felt like a very light and playful page.

 I played with what ever bits I had at hand. the yellow is crochet done in a beautiful yellow linen I had. some stamped acetate ( the C tag is an off cut of one of these) 

and a tag I had made earlier that as waiting for a home. very minimal paint this week

The Cat and I have a new man servant

Dont worry as the only 2 females of the house we still rein supreme, but we now have a new male to boss around ( even if he didn't feel like posing properly for a photo, lots of the above as he checked the place out).

His name is Midnite ( not chosen by us or spelt by us!) We arnt so keen on that so have been calling him Midi - which gives my husband great opportunity to say we call him a midi because he isn't big enough for a schooner ( yep, I married a westie!!)

Stand by for the letter B in my A to Z art journal Challenge tomorrow

Ps Those near Alexandria in NSW tomorrow night, go see the westie and his band (Fatt Lipp) in action at the Iron Duke, the Westie is the hot guitarist!

Slice of Sunday

A day of rest after he played his but off last night. Anyone else?

I must really love him

Happy Three years babe. Dont worry sappy message is hidden on the back.

And Cause I had spare nuts and Im playing nice wife, I did a lil extra. HOT HOT spicy nuts and I ran down and got him some beer since there was none in the house.  ( excuse the bad inside picture ).

PS snickers Rocky Road recipe is here, at one of Melissa Goodsells fabulous blogs.

PPS I did this quick one for a friend. Who has been in a run of bad luck lately - with illness and pain all around.

It says For a Friend in need, and there is always a need for chocolate!

Who incidentally just found out that she is cousins with one of the singers from the band. Now I have known Daz as long as I have known Rod ( met them on the same night) and Known Daph since I moved here, they have been in the same room together, she has heard them sing and literally lives around the corner from him. Slightly spun out. 

All right have to go get my self all purdy now. 

Tomorrow

Sunset at broadbeach ( at the end of Anne street)

An old lay out of us.

Is my wedding anniversary. Three years ago ( yes the astute among you might note that we have kids older then that.) We ran away to QLD and eloped just me, 2 sons and him ( oh and two hired witnesses) on the beach. Me in a $20 Dress an the boys all in $60 shirts. The celebrant brought music for us and the song which was played during was Your beautiful by James blunt, we both tried hard to keep straight faces with that as that song drove us around the wall, But it just made it more of our sort of wedding. Then we hit the theme parks for the week. The whole thing ( holiday included) cost about $1000 and to us it was worth more then there is money then the world. Perfection.

Rod at a 80's themed birthday party

Rod I love you. And I love being married to you. 

We are doing our celebrating a lil later cause he had a gig last weekend ( a birthday party) and another one this weekend (local pub, the Carousel Inn at Plumpton). 

PS to keep up with Hubbies band, try the Fans of Fatt Lipp Face book page. I know they have 2 more gigs this month a local charity one, and one at the Iron duke in Alexandria 

Today i lost something

My virginity, my petrol pumping virginity. 

Maybe I should explain, yes I am thirty but I have never pumped petrol before in my life. I have my learners for the third time ( each time I got them before I got pregnant and was to afraid to learn to drive!). 

So I pumped petrol and Rod laughed all the way home. I made the mistake, you see, of telling him I was disapointed. MY hand hurt and it wasnt any fun. It always looked fun to me. So I wanted to try it and it got in my head that even though I didnt drive, Im still old enough to pump petrol. 

But it wasnt any fun at all. 

And now Rod will make me do it again. 

Photo has nothing to do with the post but they look at you wierdly if you try to take a photo at a petrol station!

Holy Cow!!

Look here,

now scroll to where it says Public Choice Runner up - see that name its mine!!, and I checked Im the only one by that name in the challenge. So not expecting that - each time I saw a new entry go up, I kept going Oh wow. this will win or that will. ( incidentally the one that one is the one I voted for so im glad to see that!). I entered my the day the wind ( was not) blue and The quality of the photo of the  LO out was shocking! Im Shocked but happy.

ITs been all quiet here on the western front as my hubby who never takes a day off is ill and has been off since this time last week. He still is not well. I had to stay home last night instead of going to see The Script at concert. The things we do for love. But on the bright side I have ben playing with my sewing machine, playing around for Softies for Mirabel.

No pictures though as my camera is demanding new batteries! 

Cute baby shows what will be going on around here this weekend - dying husband or not. He has been waiting a long time for this ( am I a horrible wife if the only reason I care about the Eels winning is so I dont have a sooking Hubby all off season!?!)

TGI(almost)F

Nothing seems to have been gotten done this week, a very higgeldy piggeldy type of week. The Husband was off this morning and is worried he will be sick for a gig tomorrow night (not that it matters cause after his precious eels lose, Im not sure how he will play anyway!). Tomorrow will change that hopefully.  The scrapping that we missed on Tues. we are having tomorrow, and then when the big gets home from school, its time for the dreaded bedroom clean!

Bring On Friday! 

Picture is of an card I had made previously,  in honour of the Husband - may he get well soon, cause sick hubbies are the worst!!
