going and going

I woke up, had breakfast, washed hair started working on my cards,its now twoish, i only stopped for a short lunch break and have been going and going and going.. i cut up the cats i drew, went through some folders and found more work to chop, only thing is i'm out of card stock.

So later after I have written here I am going to start christmas tags. I have 3 orders for them so far. I am aiming for the november market now, just local. I'd ultimately like to aim for the Hatch Market at the melbs library next year.

I know i am not supposed to be drinking coffee, I try to stick to one cup a day though that is no always the case. I will order all the herbs next week. I did a random thing yesterday,picked up a u2 cd, its ok. I have to watch rage and get re-educated with music again. I have only used half my i-pod capacity.

So I am straying from my diet tonight and having some ricotta and spinach pasta with a massive salad. For lunch today I had flat bread with salad and a tin of tuna. I was meant to have brown rice and tuna... but just didn't feel like it.

I feel like sitting in the sun. Perhaps the 4pm sun otherwise I burn. I used to just go brown and tan , now i just burn....

I better get back to it.

have a good day.

since then

SinceI last blogged not much has been going on. Just the usual, making cards, painting.. reading... sticking to some of my goals. I have almost lost 2kg. I know its not much but then I have not been for walks or swimming like i said I would. So I gots to start. I have signed up for this weigh it up australia my aim by the end of eight weeks is to be 103kg.. id like to be 100kg, so it's up to me to move it and lose it.

I read michael caines autobiography... im now reading another novel called Lessons in Letting go (confessions of a hoarder) by a funny lady corinne grant. Plus i bought gai waterhouses autobiography too. I felt week and over spent a lil bit. Oh well. Tonight we are having fish and salad for dinner.

I have been dreaming at night but I cant for the life of me remember them. Such is life. I will write more later alligator.

spring as sprung

Its beautiful to see that the seeds are sprouting up so well. Ive been giving them sun in day and put them under shelter at night. Although I had a quiet weekend. Did not do too much. I have sent two parcels off and sticking to a few of my every day goals so far out in the sun, reading a autobiography (michael cains) (its really intersting) and I have lost a bit of weight too, so these herbs im taking are helping me mum went a bit crazy and bought two more boxes of this powder. I take it half an hour before lunch and dinner and leaves me feeling full so I eat less.

So Im not going to go to high tea in the city as I would just completely sabotage myself. I am still making jams and chutneys but i'm giving them away as apposed to keeping them and adding them to yogurt or having it on a freshly sliced bread/rolls. There is another habit I am trying to break and that is coffee... I only like it with sugar and Iv gone from three cups to two cups a day now. I think if I keep it as a proper one once a day and then mint tea/ green tea. Ive got to kick coke too. Its a sugary substance that Im addicted to.

Anyhow, I will now leave it there, and go an do a lil painting.


cheers

saturday

Its saturday now and I stayed up til midnight, ergh needless to say i woke up at 6am but then slept in til 8am. I am reading a wheightloss book, its probably the first real slim dieting/change of eating book i've read. Ive got to lose weight, i have put no effort yet. So I have set a realistic goal of 10kg for the moment.


So i'm at home mum is at the cafe i decided to as per usual, stay home. I am trying to get out more I just can't bring myself to at times. Its glorious day, warm in the sun but freezing in the cold... brrr its 19 a little more than yesterday. Sat in the sun with lil scootie, she loves being outside when someones with her and at time sits like a lil diva on your back as you garden.

Off to go shopping shortly, for my lil nephews birthday present. I cant believe he will be 5, growing up superduper fast. Will write more later gator.


cheers

super tired

these past few days i have been ultra tired, super tired. Im not sure why. i just have stayed home, have not done a lot, mainly slept a whole heap. Anyway failed attempt atmaking apple butter.... palles didnt cook long enough am thinking of making a crumble out of it or eating it with yogurt.

Well Im a going to make myself a coffee and move on.

few days

In the past few days I have drawn a few city streets, made some delicious rhubarb and vanilla jam... made power packed lemon sour cream cup cakes... Today however I was not too impressed with the hour and a half wait for my appointment, the good side made a start on a book that i've been meaning to read for a while, the down side is I hadn't had a coffee yet so I was struggling to stay awake, i almost dozed off.

After buying the groceries I went to the opshop and found a really floaty top that just fits me so i shall wear it painting. I got some glasses so I can make lemon curd, vanilla scented apple butter and i'm making some chocolate macaroons too for lou and allen.

Im still tired... i have not had any extra sleep. argh. Oh well. Am having jacket potatoes for dinner as we have not had them in a long long long time and they are tasty simple and delicious and besides I did not fancy making a quiche, i couldn't be bothered making pastry today.

I tried some of the pear chutney I made. Its quite nice. So we are keeping the small jar it goes well with cheese too, mum is making scones this weekend so we can have the jams and curd,, i gots the cream in the fridge and it doesn't cost much to make them.

So i best be off..

anew

. Been asked to make more rhubarb and vanilla jam and lemon curd. So Im going to do that over the next few days. I will make more chutney too.

So today went to an art store in morwell. On thursdays they hold a contemporary art day from 10-5pm. One can go for as long or as short as you like. I wish I could drive. Its just one of those things really.

So ive still got a few paintings to do. I turned my hand to drawing today. Doing little street scenes etc.
