Plodding

My Birthday Picture 25-7-07


Hi everyone

I haven't had much to say lately, seems as though most people are hidden in winter gloom!

I had a lovely birthday last week. Although I didn't get many presents, I did only just buy a brand new laptop, had my hair and nails done. I thought that was nearly enough :) I did however get a couple of gift vouchers, tatts ticket and lunch in the botanical gardens in Albury. I was actually pretty damn lucky.... my birthday was a beautiful day now I come to think of it! I never have nice weather on my birthday, it is afterall Xmas in July (25th). The sun was shining the birds were gathered around scavenging, it was warmish if you were in direct line with the sun, so yeah happy Kelly :)

We have totally moved out of our house now, it is all clean, we only have a couple of little thing to finish off outside like fixing the bloody automatic roller door. It has decided to cark it when we are out of the house and very poor, same thing happened with the heater 2 weeks ago- bam - there goes $400, and we're not working at the moment and still paying the mortgage as we still have not tenants - grrrr

I have had a wonderful day today, gym'd it. I only did 20min cardio (as was very bored) and did a circuit weights session and finished off with 5 min cool down on teddy treddy.

I have done 4 loads of washing, reorganised my beauty case (got rid of the hair), made minestrone soup, folded washing, played on 'puter and cleaned room that is stacked with 6 suitcases! Ha - I don't need to work to stay busy eh?

I am actually really loving not working, I am so content, so happy and non stressed. I have been thinking of doing a course on gel nails when I come back from China as I really know that I don't want to teach when I have kids - really not liking it. Does anyone do nails out there? What's it like? I know I love getting mine done and I am really good a putting nail polish on every ones nails - I have a very steady hand.

Oh well - 5 sleeps until we go to Melbourne, 6 till we fly out to China

Bye everyone

Wow -6 sleeps left! How long are you going for & what a cool adventure.

I never went back to school teaching after kids either. I did lecture & run a college for a few years, but that ran its course after a while too. I found the paperwork was a killer on top of my own kids.

But now, years later, my total philosophy has changed anyhow & here I am homeschooling 2 teens - how on earth did that happen?

Anyhow, enjoy your nails, laptop & new hairdo - what a great birthday! :-)
