SLACK AR$E!!!

yeah yeah, whatever. ;)

anyway, this is a shortie... am in the middle of packing up my life (yes AGAIN) to move to the other side of the world (yes, AGAIN). back to the land of the 4 seasons, none of this 9 months of summer and 3 months of spring crap. (kidding, i LOVE aus, i just can't handle the heat!)

i'm prompted to do this post tho 'cause tan started her own blog recently, artsty fartsy mumma, and while i was checking that out (don't forget, i am the QUEEN of procrastination, remember!?), i thought, HEY, haven't posted in awhile, maybe i should do that.

lots has happened, but no point in catching up atm, because i've been keeping in contact with most ppl directly (well, i guess i should just post a couple of things)...

- i used to work at bunnings... the first job in my entire life that i've enjoyed going to work every day for a whole year... (well, 1 year and 2 weeks) and i miss it like mad. the ppl are FANTASTIC, and the paint department was RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!

- i've become addicted to scrapbooking... this is ALL sam and tan's fault! i love the art side of it, the journalling (so important in my boys' books), and the fun of creating something that looks fantastic and that will be treasured for generations!

- have a crazy toddler now, x will be 2 in august! he's gorgeous, big for his age (about the same size as most 3 yr olds - hey, his daddy is 6'4", so this isn't a surprise!), and so independent and stubborn. just learning how to talk, and we HOPE starting to get THROUGH AND PAST the terrible twos.

- i'm an auntie! my wicked bro and his lovely partner deanna (whom i have yet to meet) had a baby at 3am on 3rd march this year... hailey dinnae. she is tooooo cute, and from the pics, looks so much like her daddy did! (but, i'll wait til i see pics of deanna as a baby too, she may look heaps like her too.)

- mum lived here with us for a YEAR... which was AMAZING. she left 6 days ago to head back, and i miss her so much its ridiculous.

- we have a gorgeous newborn son, shannon joshuah. he joined our family after 4 hours of labour (compared to x's 49 hours!) at 8am thurs morning, 29th may this year.

- t and i celebrated THREE YEARS of wedded bliss on weds... we went on a date to the flicks to see the dark knight... omg, what an AMAZING movie.... and omg, i've been MARRIED for THREE YEARS??? who'da thought me??? lol! think how much i'll spin out when we hit 20!!!!

- we leave in exactly 6 days, 17 hours and 35 minutes to go to canada. todd is RAPT... he's been hangin for this for 4 years! i'm so glad for him, because i have felt guilty keeping him here... but its time now... and my boys need to be near their family. i want them to grow up with the closeness that i grew up with.

okeley dokeley... time to get off this puter (todd's gonna kill me when/if he reads this...)

hugs to all... and no, i haven't posted on xman's blog lately either... but i will do that after we arrive back in canada... after i've recovered from jetlag that is. ;)

jeeeeeez, so much for a shortie.... LMAO

peace out!

Bit behind on posting on here...

Because we've created a site for our little JB! "Little"... HA!

Jb is now known as X-man... Xavier Galloway, born at 3.19 am on 20 August, 2006. He weighed in at 4.49 kg, and 53cm long... and now, at 6 months and 13 days old, he's 10.5kg, and 72.5cm long: A BIG little boy!

He is THE life of the party, and absolutely a joy to be around. :) Of COURSE! :)

His site is here: X-man

Weeeellll, since that site is about our little man, I suppose I should keep this up to date with MY stuff... stuff that people who want to know about X don't really give a toss about... ;) Like, my nappy sewing! And girly stuff, and movies, and other interesting stuff (to me anyway).

Here's one girly thing that I found today on another blog (hence the reason why I'm doing this post)....

You Are 12% Girly

Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world. And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.

How Girly Are You?

How funny is THAT????

Not surprising really.

I have to go though... have to get a tooth pulled in an hour, and in the meantime, send some info to a new customer (yeah, still pole dancing!).

Smiles,
D. :)
