Chasing Snow

Here in South East Queensland there are a few places that get snow, Stanthorpe is one of them. I have never ever seen snow, so each year we wait, hoping it will be the year we get to see it. Last year we hearf an inkling that there might be some, so packed the car at 1 in the morning to make the 3 hour trip, only to turn around at 5 a little disappointed. Last night the weather man predicted it again. It was a little different this time. As we are living with my parents we asked my mum and sis if they wanted to tag along. They said yes, but suprisingly my dad joined in and wanted to go. Sp instead he booked us hotel rooms and breakfast and we took off at 8. It was a fun drive and cosy in the hotel, but again, no snow. Well maybe next year :)

A lil bit of romance

Every fortnight D does the shopping and every fortnight he brings home flowers :) This fortnight I was given white, yellow and red roses...beautiful! Some might say that it gets old, but after so many years (and I don't get them if I do the shopping lol) I still love it. The room looks brighter, it feels lovelier, and I absolutely adore it.


These don't cost a fortune but really make a difference. It works out around $10 a week, or 3 coffees ;). Small things can definitely make a difference.

GOOD LUCK

Good Luck today to my gorgeous mother and my spunky hubby. Both are waiting on call backs for job interviews. Life will definitely b a whole lot easier if they are both working. Fingers crossed everyonexxxxxx

To write Love

Today is a day for depression awareness. This subject is very close to my heart as my husband has Bipolar. We are both very very open about his Bipolar, but this will never make it easy to live and deal with depression each day of our lives. While I do not really believe awareness is needed, (we all have our battles), we definitely need to stop keeping such life threatening illnesses in the dark. People need to feel comfortable showing their weaknesses and asking for help, and many more others need to have compassion enough to offer it.

A year nearly

So its been nearly a year since the suspected miscarriage and life is still in limbo. We are down to 1 wage but the bright side is that it's given D time to work on his stuff. I need to get in this weekend and do up some business plans, i need lots of sleep too. Life is too crazy. We had dinner with friends tonight though, that was heaps of fun :)

the Secret

So I have finally succumbed and am in the process of reading The Secret. I like the idea and thought of it, but Im a Capricorn. How am I supposed to not worry, to not thing the worst and to not judge. I am judgy mc judgy. It is something I am becoming a lot more aware of, and definitely something I am trying to fix. I read back on my posts and I am very aware how it is quite negative and all about my weight and trying to change myself. I am slowly letting that go. For so many years I have built up this idea in my head of who/what I want to be, but I am slowly coming to grips with just refining me. I think the best example of it is Khloe Kardashian Odom. She is gorgeous, has this constant pressure from the media with her weight, is extremely out there, loud and foul mouthed. BUT, she is an incredible role model, a wonderful pseudo parent for her siblings and happy to be herself. She is a fantastic wife, intelligent, beautiful and great business woman and doesn't make apologies for being who she is. OK so I have posted quite a lot on here about changing, refining, I am not saying that I'm forgetting that. I am saying that I still want to be me. I want to be the loud me, the shy me, the foul mouthed me, but I want to look good, and be respected doing it. And it means hard work. And it means taking the time to focus on me and a lot less focus on others.

So that's where the secret comes in. I am going to make the rounds of a whole heap of books in the coming weeks (College is just about up for the term) and I intend to use the time wisely. I graduate in just over 3 months and will be helping others find the strength to fix their issues, it's now time I sort my own out. The first I am working on is just being more positive and less judgemental. To be too busy working on me to think or talk about others. This will be a hard one at home when mum wants to talk.

Goals for the week ahead

1. Less Judgemental

2. Lots more Positive

3. More loving to D

4. Less criticizing D, and less negative talk

Physical Goals

5. 3 x Gym Sessions

6. Hair Treatment x 2

7. Face mask - find where one is, apply!

8. Makeup at least 3 times before Next Wednesday

I think they are attainable...lots of them though! But I am putting in hair mask as I type.
