Friday again!

Well, not too much going on. Just a quiet morning at work. Life is good, health is good, GM is good, and Ralphy is good. All around, not much to complain about. . . lol.

I am hoping to night will be an early night, and may get GM to watch a movie with me. Otherwise, I need to tackle the craft room, and get it under control, as it is storage for all the crap we are taking back to the states on our holiday as well as my craft room. And of course I would love to Wii, if I get some time.

Tomorrow is a train trip with GM. I am not completely sure about it, as I take trains every work day. But, I know GM will love it, and it is a day out. I think we are leaving at 7:30 in the morning, and will get home about 8pm. Ralphy will be pissed. I have a good book to read, and an ipod to listen to. Of course that is only if GM, his sis, brother in law, and the scenery are not entertainment enough. :) I think I am making lunches, and it should be nice!

Sunday stay at home, and try to get our house into some kind of order. With all the late nights, and things going on, we need to dedicate some quality time to our house, and fixing up the garden!

Rainbow- I am going to get a couple tattoos while in the states, I just don't know exactly what one of them is yet. My Tattoo advisor (Lil Sis) has some drawings to show me. . .lol. The other tattoo will be an enhancement of our butterflies. I think we are going to get another butterfly, and some wispy smoke or something. . . I'll keep you posted!

Oh, and I am reading the Stephenie Meyer Vampire books, and they are great! That is what I will read on the train tomorrow. And GM and I got Travis, Tyler & in the future Tommy a fantastic book! It is called "The Dangerous Book For Boys," it sounds scarier than it is. Check the website out, as it is just a fantastic book, everything from building a go kart, to how to play Aussie rules football, to how to play poker, to how to make paper airplanes, to the history of Australia, and the Queen. It really is fantastic! There is one for girls too- with different stuff in it.

Okay, that's it for now! Talk to you soon!

Father's Day in Australia

Let's see, it is Monday, yesterday was Father's Day here in Australia. So, I called my dad this morning, which is his Sunday, and talked to him for a few minutes. It is really good, because Father's day is on a different day here, I have an excuse to get my dad to talk to me on the phone at least twice a year now. :)
Yesterday we went and saw GM's dad to wish him a Happy Father's Day. Visited for a short time, and then came home, and went next door for scones. . . . Yummy! I had more than one. And loved it. I will be eating less at the end of this week. My Choice.
Actually went to the mall on Saturday, only went to one or two stores, and couldn't find anything I wanted. However, went to Target today, to get GM a movie he wanted, and found a new book, I hear is really good. Don't know if you like the vampire books, but it is by Stephanie Meyer, called Twilight. I will let you know how it is. Oh, and currently I am reading Hannibal, with Clarice Starling. It is the book after Silence of The Lambs. It is really good so far.
Also working on a cross stitch, that may take me forever. But, it is beautiful. It is called Outback Gum. You can see it here. I hope to get it done in the next couple months or so. We will see.
Very happy to hear that Rainbow is an Auntie! I have been emailing back and forth, to find out, that baby Sadie has dropped a bit, and may not make it till October.
Lori had some sad news, it is very odd, the joy of life, and the sorrow of death happen in such close proximity so much, so often. Thank you God for reminding us we are human. And as we know, it is all part of the circle of life. We are lucky to experience it, every emotion from joy to sorrow. Love you Lori!
Okay, starting to get philosophical will jump off the box, and get some sleep.
PS- the feet still hurt a bit in the heel, and am hoping I can get some help with that on Thursday. Also going to dinner at G & R's which will be nice, and have the brother and sister in law over for dinner on Saturday. busy, busy, busy. . . Then Sunday we are going to Shepparton. GM will go to a HAM fest, and I will go to the cannery to stock up on stuff like soup, and diced tomatoes, etc. I cannot wait. Anyway, I will really go for now! See Ya ~Melissa
