I was going to do an entry about Easter, fluffy bunnies and chocolate but shit happens.
I got a call in the middle of a meeting yesterday afternoon from my father in law who informed me that we had been broken into and that the filing cabinet which I kept Cheryl's jewelry had been forced open. He had not been able to check the cabinet...

sounds like an ID fraud attempt, still you would think that they would go for the goodies while they were there.
Glad they didn't tho

I wasn't clinically depressed after Cheryl died but looking back after a year I can see that I was definitely at a lot lower point than I am now. I miss her every minute of every day but I am starting to think of getting on with life without her. After reading a recent post by Maxi, I realised 40 is too young to be...

I love gratuitous sex. And I agree with TFOK, good to hear.

I so wish we could go to Sydney and Brisbane and Melbourne too! One day maybe!
Busy, busy, busy. Sorry I haven't been around much but it has been non stop for the last 6 weeks. I thought things would settle down in February but now I am aiming for March.
I can't get this song out of my head.
Which is really embarrassing when you sing the chorus at work.

I love Sarah!! That song should go to number one!
Telstra took the ADSL code off my phone line last Wednesday when I finally cancelled Cheryl's mobile and transferred to account to my name. One week later....
I switched my sim card from my phone which was rather worn from wear to Cheryl's mobile. I experienced a wonderful surprise in the process - I found 4 recordings on the phone which Cheryl made with Emily...

Can't say I am really looking forward to 2008 but I figure it can't be any worse than 2007.

A Delia Smith, Nigella and Maeve O'Meara 3 some ... no 4 some, forgot myself, would be heaven.
Delia would be the dominate one, "now whip those eggs".
I really haven't got back into work as we're off to, ..... "and the winner is .... Sid a knee" next week for a week to house sit in Rose bay.
Bummer

Sorry but I am not in the mood to be social. Things are fairly tough at the moment and there is still another week to go. Hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and have a happy new year.

Not so sure the time was enjoyable ... hectic.
Though, it was good to (briefly) have some time with our new little girl to ourselves.
For me it was a Jamie Oliver, no, more Gordon Ramsay (did I say Tourettes?).
I cooked Xmas eve (my family, Xmas day (in-laws), 27th (wife b'day).
That will be 5 years in 6 that I have cooked.
Everything went swimmingly well. Being a Virgo, I have to get it all right.
I did a baked ham (hard work, but comes out fantastic),
rib-eye on the bone (glorious taste),
rolled pork (perfect crackling),
seafood (don't you hate the cleaning up).
Everyone seemed happy - next year I'm doing a cold buffet.
Fuck-em.
Pop-up on the radar when you feel social.

So much shit happening, so little time to record it.
Did Emily's 2 birthday parties the weekend before last. Both went well. I worked off Cheryl's notes from last year but I was still pretty proud that I was able to organise everything single handed.
Went to Spick & Specks last night. A bit of a guilty pleasure. A great night, I totally forgot that...

Kid's parties can be sooo stressful! Especially cake making!
I am all organised for Christmas, it's so time consuming writing cards and wrapping presents.

It is amazing. Words can't describe how well the exhibition has been put together.
I'd love to hear your thoughts after you've been.

Daniel's birthday was on the 26th November. I am soooo buying the cake next year!
Ah, who am I kidding, I'll end up making some ridiculously complicated cake again.

I'm not in South Yarra.. or even Melbourne. That was just day 3 or my Melbourne journey the other week.
I didn't want to mention SG in my application. I figure that I'll see how it goes, and if I need to mention it, than I will

Back from Singapore. Every day was like groundhog day - visit 1 lot of relatives in the AM followed by nap time (for Emily) in the afternoon and dinner with another lot of relatives in the evening. Rinse and repeat each day - only the relatives change (sometimes). I find it funny in Singapore sometimes because I stand out so much as the gui lo....

My sister is in America and basically deicating all her time to her injured bf who has started on his long road to recovery remarkably well, although one of his legs is going to be re-broken if he is to have any chance of weight-bearing on it, and thus chance of walking, on it. They are talking about doing that this week but it will mean more short-term pain and being laid-up as opposed to all the physio he has been doing.
They have been able to have him home over nights sometimes and just the morality boost is working wonders, according to my sister.
She isn't feeling too comfortable about being a gf in EVERY sense of the role (read between the lines) as he is still very damaged/PTSD/spontaneous from an acquired brain injury but his personbality is coming back in spades.
I am so mad at my Father for just letting all this just slide, so to speak, and not wanting to go over there himself and see that his daughter is being treated properly etc etc and even to meet these people at all for Chrissakes. But that's just me.
My other sister is apparently doing well and back to living her life of Riley, I imagine. My Dad and Stepmonster don't really communicate/with me so who bloody knows.
But yahhhh................!!!
I haven't refused to see you!!! haha
