Well, I started mixed volleyball last night, and I think I am going to love it. It is pretty intense, and will hone skills, and speed. I am looking forward to a great season! So, now I have girls on Monday night, and mixed on Wednesday or Thursday nights. That is two nights a week of guaranteed exercise. Not to mention the walking, and stuff I am doing at work, too and from work, and all the ad-hoc that is added to my days. Now if only I could motivate GM. (heavy sigh!)
Things have been busy, and I am, almost worn out, but pushing on.
This weekend is 4th of July. That is exciting to most people in the US, and to me. However, it is the dead of winter here, and so GM is taking me to dinner in celebration. I think it will be lovely. I also think I am going to make Pioneer Woman's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie for myself, it reminds me of home, and I can eat the whole pie, because GM does not care for Peanut butter much. I think we are also going to put up the American Flag for the day, as we have the flagpole, and it is a celebration for me, and the country I come from! I am looking forward to it, and missing the celebration, bbq'ing, potato salad & devilled eggs. . . . Oh well, maybe we will celebrate it in the US next year, you never know these days!

Daddy's Day & Volleyball. . .
Happy Late Father's Day to all the Daddies out there. I am kind of lucky with that. I call my daddy three times a year to wish him Happy Father's Day. Sunday my time, Sunday his time, and then again, Sunday in September, when Father's day is celebrated in Australia. I also call him several times throughout the week I feel very lucky to be in touch with my dad so much.
Love you now & Always Daddy - Munch. . . .lol
So, lots of little updates I guess. . . .
Had volleyball finals. Luckily, we made it to the finals. . . . Then lost. Oh well, it was great fun, the team showed up over 20 minutes late, without matching tops, and it was kind of weird, because we were following all the rules, and they weren't, but they did outplay us, so that is fine. We will be better & ready for next season which starts next week. Also, I am joining a mixed volleyball team, with my current team members, and the umpire that usually trains with us on Friday nights. Looking forward to that. Evidently we will see how slow we are compares to the mixed teams, but that will train us to do better, and get faster. I am very excited. . . :)

Trees!
GM is one of the most thoughtful men ever- most of the time. Last night- well actually on Good Friday, he out did himself. We just got to pick up his good deed yesterday. I love taking pics as you may have guessed, and I especially love taking pics of trees. Well, I took this pic
I have been in love with these trees since the first time I saw them.
(My dad may or may not know, but he is the reason I have been so fond of trees all my life, so I am happy to 'hunt' them with my camera anytime I can. Thanks Dad!)
I try to take pics of these trees every year. I took this one in March 2009. There is something about them, that involves/intertwines life & death. And also with the ominous sky behind it, I could not resist. I just love these trees.
Anyway, back to the story. . . Last night, I met GM at a store in our home town, and picked up a 12*16 inch copy of the pic above. I was taken aback, and thrilled. i still am. We went directly to get a frame, and it is hanging on our wall. I do not know where it will hang for good yet, but I just love it! Kind of funny, 'cause we both got each other photos, without knowing what the other was doing. . . How bizarre.
So he has a few brownie points, and I love him more each day! Okay, getting soppy.
I have volleyball practice tonight, Yeah! I got my hair done yesterday, very happy about that. Just below my shoulders & striped, who would have thought. . .lol
Hope all is well in your worlds!

Volleyball-
Had practice on Friday night. That went really well, it was great to re-learn how to volley again, take advantage of the three hits available before it has to go over the net. And have seven people on a side, gives you a big challenge when the team on game night consists of four.
Had a game on Monday night. Only three available to play, and my office chair and I had- had a disagreement in the morning. I was feeling a bit sore & sorry, and went home for a heat bag, cause I hurt that much. We played really well actually, we still lost, but played well. Had a great time even if I hurt.
Have practice again Friday, am looking forward to that too!
Going to get my hair done in a few hours, and meeting my future employer tomorrow. Once I am free to, I can talk more about that. . .lol My employment has been interesting for years. . . :)

Volleyball- Update!
Couldn't make volleyball last week, being a girl is not all it's chalked up to be sometimes. But last night was great! We went in, I got to play with two of my lovely nieces, and a young lady that is friends w/ one of my nieces. I know I played hard, and we were able to play pretty well, plenty of volley, and fun! The referee helped us practice just before the game, and using some of his pointers made our game better! It was very good, very fun, exhausting, and I loved it! I came home all hot and sweaty, got to snuggle with GM, make my lunch for the next day, and get to sleep!
Oh, and yes we won! Go US!

Tuesday Already!
What a weekend! Had a good one, but too short, and felt like crap the whole time.
The trip to and from Echuca on Saturday was a little too eventful. First of all we had reserved seats. I thought that meant you actually got a reserved seat, but that did not work out. The conductor ended up finding us all a place to sit. Then had a lovely time in Echuca. GM and I went down to the Murray River, and ate our lunch. Stayed for a while, had a think about where I want to scatter some of mom's ashes. That was a bit emotional, but it was lovely. Then had a slow walk, browsing as we went back to the station. I will try to add photos of the river tomorrow. The train ride home, GM almost got into an altercation w/ someone that was drinking on the train, and about to light up. That was not fun. Then we were told to move seats to our 'assigned' seats. On our way, there were police outside the train, and a handcuffed young man went for the cop, and was pushed up against the train to try and gain control of him. So there was a bit of action on the station, which held us up for at least 10 minutes, then we were told it didn't matter what seats we sat in. . . omg what a pain. But, I was exhausted and didn't feel good, so I was really ready to get home. When we did, got to watch a couple shows with GM. I Love our time together, and I love that he said my "mom would love it here", referring to the Murray River. I know she would!
Sunday I didn't want to get out of bed, I talked on the phone for ages which was lovely, then had enough time to shower and get ready to go to the bbq for GM's boss. That was a lovely 5 hours that flew by. The company was great, and they had cockatoos flying in and out of the backyard to three separate feeders. loved it! The gang is so nice, and I played with a couple gorgeous little girls, it was a lovely social time! Got home after 7:30pm, watched a show or two w/ GM & went to sleep.
Monday, I finally had time to do some laundry (three loads), sweep the slate (1/3rd of our house is slate), vacuum cobwebs, package all the meat we had gotten from the butcher so it could go in the freezer, make a cake for afternoon tea. Which worked out great, because my mil & I went to sil's house to watch an episode of CSI. I was able to take most of the cake, and not bring any of it home. Went next door for scones once we got back, and it was all good. Somewhere in there, I managed to call and wish my brother a Happy Birthday. I sang the whole song to his voicemail. Then called my dad, talked to him, my sis, my brother (birthday boy) wished them all well, then call Lori for an hour.
Okay, I now see why I am still tired, along with the only getting a few hours sleep. At 3:30am, I think it was, GM & I are asking why we are awake. I watched the clock un til after 4am, Then got up just after 5am and took my shower.What a blasted long night. Oh well, I am hoping for sleep tonight- cross my fingers & hope.
Have a sil & her husband over for dinner tomorrow night, a Dr's appointment on Thursday, and dinner at M & D's. I am so hoping Friday is quiet. Oh yeah, may have volleyball practice that night. Had volleyball last night, didn't do too bad, but would like to practice a little more. And maybe work out the coordination in the team. We will see how it goes.
Blah Blah Blah- I think lack of sleep makes me babble too! lol
Hope everyone is well!

Finally Friday!
Boy, this week has been busy & fast! Glad it is a three day weekend though- Thank you for Australia's Labour Day! Let's see, this weekend will consist of. . . . . .
Saturday- Train ride to Echuca. The Train leaves Sunbury @ 9:52am, and gets into Echuca around lunch time. I will make lunches tonight, so we will have a lovely picnic lunch next to the Murray River. The Murray River is where All the Rivers Run was filmed, and where we will eventually scatter some of my mom's ashes. So, in essence this is a field inspection trip, and an excuse to relax I think. We will get a few hours up there, then will be on the 4:10pm train back home. I think it gets in just before 7pm. It will be a long, but forcibly relaxing day. lol I have a cross stitch to work on, a book to read, and a puzzle book, if the 5 other people going with GM & I is not enough entertainment. . . Just kidding- kind of.
Sunday- SLEEP IN! This is very high on my priority list, as I definitely have not been getting enough sleep lately. After a few days, without enough sleep, I do not function very well. I am hoping to morph into a very happy go lucky had lots of sleep person this day. :) Then we have a bbq to go to, that will be lovely, as the people are from GM's work, and they are all pretty darn good people! That is early afternoon. And if we don't stay until the weee hours of the night, I may get my husband home in time for a movie! Don't know yet, but am hoping.
Monday- Housework. I have laundry to do, make that mountains of laundry to do, rooms to clean, I am still putting the craft room back together, and the kitchen needs a scrub. Our little boy Ralphy is in dire need of a bath, and a haircut, I have forward planning cooking to do, and hopefully some craft time for an hour. . . lol GM will be going to the tip (dump), and cleaning the garage a bit with his dad. Oh yeah, and volleyball Monday night. It will be a very busy weekend, but hopefully very productive too!
I may add some more of my favorite recipes as I go. As I am trying to type a recipe a day for my family back home, might come across some nice ones to share too!
Hope everyone is well, and it would be nice to see Lori & Rainbow back in action! I guess it just means you guys have a life. :p Take care, & talk to you soon!

Boy does life fly by. . . .
Had volleyball last night, loved it! I so love playing. First game of the season, and considering we were playing against an inexperienced team, we did really well. 64 -10 points I believe was the final score. The subject of a mixed team was brought up too. I think that would be SO much fun! I asked Geoff, and he was not that keen, but I am hoping I can change his mind. How much fun would it be to play sport with my husband! I would enjoy it way too much I think! Will keep you posted on that.
I have also been typing up a few recipes for my dad & sister. I may start sending them to my brother & his wife. Not sure yet. They may have their own recipes they like. . . I have found a few of my mom's recipes and am trying to get them on the computer, so I don't lose them.
Has anybody had Lattice chicken, it is easy, & fabulous! I may post that on here tomorrow. . . I love it, and used to be able to eat WAY too much of it. It is pretty healthy & yummy!
Kind of excited, GM and I are in the process of buying our In-Laws Caravan. It is a 1992 Windsor Statesman, and it is beautiful, and exactly what we have wanted. And having a Caravan, we can grab Ralphy, and run away for the weekend if we want to, which is awesome!
So, we are looking at going away for a weekend in April, I cannot wait. We will not fully own the Caravan, but are lucky enough to be able to use it before it is paid off!
I have also booked GM , Ralphy & myself into a Bed & Breakfast on a dairy farm for our birthdays in May. I will give you details on that later, it sounds like a lovely place though!
Okay, gotta run, hope to catch you soon!

Happy Birthday Rainbow! Hope you have/had a great day!!
Volleyball was good on Monday. I am not as sore as I thought I would be. Didn't win, and felt what negative energy can do to a team, but had a good time anyway!
As we are continuing our slumber party in the living room, I am sleeping like crap. And because I am getting home so late, and not eating till late, I am coughing throughout the night. It feels like heartburn, but is not. Bummer. Oh well, I will make the most of it, and look forward to sleeping in my own bed on Friday night if at all possible! Tonight I get a little time with GM, before I go to sleep, so I may fall asleep in his arms, whether he likes it or not. . .lol
Work is going well, my boss is pretty darn cool! We don't tell him though. :) There is no tension at work now, which is amazing, because it was tense for so long. I am enjoying it.
GM has a Dr appointment tonight re: his breathing. I think he is suffering from asthma more, now that our house is dusty from the carpet, and the bushfire smoke all around outside. We will get him taken care of though. My poor little niece in the states is on the nebulizer 5 times a day right now. She is only four months- poor baby. Hope she feels better soon. I think that kinda sounds like what little Drew was going through? ?
Tomorrow (Thursday) night is dinner out with the court (the court/cul De sac we live in) friends. It will be nice to catch up, and wish Shazz a Happy Birthday! Friday GM has radio club, and there was talk of Mexican with the girls, we will see if I am up to it. Especially if my waterbed is calling!
I guess it's all pretty normal stuff here. I have a Dr appointment next week- about girl stuff. That will be interesting. At least I know I am still a girl. . . lol
Okay, that's it for now!

It's Monday!
Tonight is volleyball, I am a bit excited, and looking forward to is. I wonder how sore I will be tomorrow- lol.
Had a busy weekend. Friday night's "Body Shop" party was a ripper! Enjoyed myself immensely, and outlasted the usual party animals. . .lol. Saturday morning, got up a little late, luckily no hangover, and got started on boxing stuff up, and getting everything moved out of the three main bedrooms, including my craft room. OMG there is sooo much stuff. But, The great GM & I were able to get everything out by Sunday afternoon. Then I took a break for a cuppa tea, and he started "playing"- ripping the carpet up. It is the original carpet from the late 1980's, and has sooo much dust I was not able to stay with it for too ling. But GM is having a ball ripping it all up. Tonight before I get home, he will have taken up all the foam underlay, and swept the dust up & out I hope.
We had a slumber party in the living room last night, I slept on the couch, and he slept on a mattress next to the couch, with Ralphy. We have a water bed, and there is no use filling it for a couple nights. The carpet is being laid on Friday, so that will be nice, and a whole lot less dusty. I am really glad GM talked me into getting new carpet. I think it will be fantastic!
I might post pics of our slumber party room, if it is not too embarrassing. . .lol
Hope everyone is well. Talk to you soon!
PS-Congratulations to Chris & Jenn they finally found a house in Tracyton on 4 1/2 acres. Yeah, I cannot wait to see pics.

Volleyball
Well, had a blast last night, played volleyball, and did pretty good. I was a little nervous in the lead up, and once we got there, was told it was beach volleyball in a sand pit. Okay, barefoot, and diving for the ball. This will be fun. I started practicing with my lovely niece, and remembered how much fun I used to have playing volleyball. I also figured out that it had been over 18 years since I played. It is supposed to be 4 player teams, however we had three players. And one of those players (my niece) could only use one hand, which gave us 5 hands out of a usual 8 handed team. We played against a team of 4, and did okay. I think the score ended up as 39(us) vs 51(them). So, not too bad in the scheme of things. And I had such a ball. I was exhausted when I got home though, I cannot remember when I last played a sport. So I'm on again for next Monday, and then start the new season the week after that. And now that I know, I not be wearing a low cut tank top, as sand gets EVERYWHERE. I think I will be fine in a t-shirt and shorts. . .lol.
Not too much else to report, just a little tired, and hoping to catch up on some sleep soon. Oh, but I did finish a couple of birth announcement cross stitches for my gorgeous niece & nephew. I will try to post a pic later. I have also started on the Strawberry Fairy cross stitch that spells out Sadie. I will take a pic when I get that done too.
Hope everyone is well, and talk soon!
Not too much else to report, just a little tired, and hoping to catch up on some sleep soon. Oh, but I did finish a couple of birth announcement cross stitches for my gorgeous niece & nephew. I will try to post a pic later. I have also started on the Strawberry Fairy cross stitch that spells out Sadie. I will take a pic when I get that done too.
Hope everyone is well, and talk soon!
