Yesterday was the annual trip to the in-laws, delivering everyone's Christmas presents and catching up with the family gossip. Needless to say they were all stories of woe, pregnancy and nervous breakdowns (pretty much the same as every year). Our nephew Jordan's condition has deteriorated since we saw him last and he is now in therapy to fix his left arm which has become partially...

Last week was one of mixed fortunes. Unfortunately we had to bite the bullet and let the organisers know that we wouldn't be able to raise the money we needed to go on the Costa Rican Rainforest Trek. Despite a year of fundraising and a lot of hard work, we were still short by a huge amount. I am disappointed but would like to thank...

This past week has been a strange one for me. A string of family arguments has led to my Dad walking out of the pub he owns with my brother and ignoring all of us. He hasn't spoken to me, my Mum or my brother since last Sunday when he and I had a huge row... and our lives couldn't be more peaceful.
My Dad...

I have always bounced from job to job, not really knowing what I wanted to do with my life. I've been an estate agent, a door to door salesman (for a company who use those scare tactics you see on the documentary shows about unethical salesmen) and made furniture. I've also been a handyman and worked with heavy machinery.

Ryan has an appointment with the best Neuro in Spokane tomorrow...I'm grateful that they were able to get him in so quickly! My mother-in-law actually helped with that, so maybe I will try to cut her some slack for her stupidity the other night
I'll keep you posted, K?
Lots of loves my friend...couldn't begin to verbalize how much you mean to me!

I miss you. 
I've been so busy this past week. Out every day delivering flyers to advertise our fund-raising fair, confirming that everyone who had said that they were attending still was. I'm not sure how many miles I've covered while walking the streets posting leaflets but my legs were hurting for days afterwards. Why do people insist on having such long driveways? Ok, they limit the noise...

Last time... on Hypersage's Blog.
Jonas Brothers, Miley, Zoo's, Rock Band and whining like a little girl.
Now for the next episode of Hypersage's blog!
I'm really loving this song right now, I can't get it out of my head.
Although, can you imagine if your sex was actually on fire? Ouch.

That is a rad moustache. I cut out newspaper clippings of Moustache Tournaments to inspire my upper lip to start growing.
So far, nada.
Do you suppose Rogaine would work on my lip?
Thanks for the comment about my pictures. I aim to please.

Because they're so awesome!! You can't tell me that having the kind of moustache that you posted in my blog would not be something totally wonderful.
Honestly, it's just another thing for me to express myself. One time I drew a moustache on a piece of cardboard, cut it out, taped it to my face, added a lil' goatee, and spent the rest of my shift at work ringing customers through. About half told me I'm dashing and the rest thought I was weird. I'd say that's a pretty good way to find out what kind of people I'm willing to converse with further.
Like a quasi testing phase?
Anyway, I also think they're hot. I love men with facial hair - weak in the knees, I'm telling you. I think I could achieve that level of hotness as well, with a fancy moustache!

This weekend was my eldest devil child's birthday, she was 8. We bought her a CD player for her bedroom (ever since we took her to the McFly concert she's had a real passion for music) and various friends and family members bought her CD's.
This means that all weekend I've been listening to this:
It actually wasn't too bad, these aren't the worst artists...

Mostly just going through the motions....you know? I get up in the morning, and for the first brief few moments I forget that I am alone...then my reality hits and it's just time to get up and push through the day! I can't wait until my days are filled with some meaning and purpose again, cuz right now that is sorely lacking for me with Flashmo so far away! Physically, I'm feeling a little better these days after being on the Lupus regimen for almost three months now, so at least I got that going for me
Uh...yeah, Lilli is gonna hurt you real bad for that

After 2 whole days worth of sun, I am in a summer mood. This, coupled with my recent reflective mood, has been captured brilliantly in my favourite song right now:
Whether you like him or not, Kid Rock rocks.
I've been thinking alot recently (ok, who said that they thought they smelled burning?) about friends (and girlfriends) I used to have, my school days, missed...

The past (my past at least) is hugely over-rated.
That is precisely what my horoscope has been telling me for the past two days. 
sgtsnarky:
That's a fair and accurate statement.
I immediately started blushing when our hands touched and then I found it hard to speak.
What a dork I am, hey?
I really dislike that Kid Rock song, but then again, I dislike every song he's done, so...
I don't blame you, but at the same time - really?? You're a Kid Rock fan???
I'm glad you're enjoying your summer. Moi aussi.

Saturday was my youngest devil child's 4th birthday party. All her friends from school came along and everyone seemed to have a great time. I spent the entire time in the garden with the kids, avoiding the scary mothers. I don't know what it is about you ladies but when you get in a decent size group, you get all intimidating. My living room and...

is your dog small enough to fit in your purse when you go shopping?
(jeez, I almost feel guilty about that one! Little dog zingers are just too much fun, can't stop myself )
Got a big day today....job huntin' as usual, but then I'm hoping to find out whether or not I scored well enough on my state test for Employment consultant to get an interview for my old job. What a pain in the ass! You would think that having done the job for 6-7 months would make me a no-brainer for at least an interview...but no, this is the State we're talking about here, they don't do no-brainers
I have an interview tomorrow for a job working for the State in Veteran's services, which would be cool as well. I'd obviously take a job elsewhere, but I'd certainly prefer to keep working for the State. Benefits are amazing, they pay well and it's kind of nice to feel like you are giving back to the community a little bit too, you know?
Tonight is my sleep study. *Boo!* Get to sleep in a hospital bed all wired up to god knows what! Oh, and I HAVE to wear pajamas I don't DO pajamas!! So yeah, it will be a little weird....but hopefully I will get some answers on the whole sleep apnea thing.
How was your weekend?

Naaaa, time to ease up on the pooch
I'm sure you felt a little bad about the room , but really handled it in the best way possible since you were willing to show her what your expectations are. I find that's when the trouble starts most of the time with kids!
Have you seen the Dark Knight, or just want to see it? I'm interested after hearing the buzz about it, honestly mostly due to it being Heath Ledger's final performance. I really admired him as an actor, and think it's so tragic that he in essence took his own life.

As a parent, you worry about how decisions you make affect your children. Over the past 8 years, I have grown accustomed to these questions which I am constantly asking myself. I have never though, until now, questioned our decision to bring new life into the world.

The artist we have chosen is brilliant, trust me 
He is pure genius, worth travelling down to brighton for! The reason Iron man and joker pop up is because he already has batman on his arm, i think it's going to look amazing
Good to hear you know your comics!

One of my best friends and her husband are way into UFC and they recently started inviting me over to watch it. They have a daughter who is in between my daughters ages so while the adults are watching the fight the kids are playing.
My oldest isnt so much like that, but the 6 year old is. She LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES Zac Effron. LOOOOOOOOOVES him. Its frightening. My oldest has a cell phone though, her dad got it for her.

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas... Spurs usually do well on Boxing Day anyway...
I love you and miss you too! I am thinking of you and Lilli big bunches, hoping life will slow down for me again soon
