OK, check it out!

So, after 31 years of only having curly hair to work with, check out what I did!....

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I tell ya, I'm liking the look! Ok, so it only lasted for two days (and that was with me sleeping propped up so I wouldn't squash it, and showering with a rather large plastic bag on my head for fear of a drop of water getting ANYWHERE near my hair!

So, now, what is a girl to do? I'm considering "investing" in some rather flash hair straighteners, and I reakon they will be worth it.

I'll let ya know how I get on ................

Just for Sarah ........

OK, so, I just read somewhere that i'm not writing enough (lol), so if you want something interesting to read go read hers cause it ROCKS!!! (just search for "the beanbag", i tried to link it but I'm very techno unsavvy!

Miss 7 is away on her first overnight camp.

My dishcloth has been unravelled 5 times now!!! How DO I managed to keep forgetting what row I'm up to even though I have a row counter??????

That's about it for today.

Luff you to Sarah :-)

Whakatane to Auckland May '07

Thanks to Maddy we have our own pic by the L & P Bottle.

If you are ever travelling through Paeroa, stopping at the L & P bottle is a MUST.

Last week we made the trip to Auckland for Owens graduation. On the way we stopped at the Martha Mine in Waihi. The kids, Seth especially enjoyed watching the huge trucks moving all the rocks & dirt around. There is a great platform overlooking the mine so we sat there and enjoyed our lunch.

Wedding Anniversary

So today (May 16th 2007) my Dh and I celebrate 9 years of wedded bliss (or something like that).

In 9 yrs we have moved towns three times had three kids and have aquired three cats. Next year for our 10th anniversary our cunning plan is to go on our overseas honeymoon (with our kids and my parents in tow), that should be fun eh (lol).

Dishcloth update

Well my first attempt at knitting again has come to a screaching holt. Somehow I have managed to muck up my rows so now it doesn't look like the pattern at all. So, in a fit of fury last night I unravelled the WHOLE thing to start again. But, I then realised that i don't know how to cast on (lol). hmmmmmmmmmmm, watch this space ....................

well, here we go ...................

Wahoo, my very own blog. Im feeling all inspired to do this since reading my sisters and other great blogs. I'm not sure exactly what will be said here or if it will be any good (lol), but we'll see.
