oodles and squoodles of moodles newsels

to be honest, i’m so glad to see the tail end of last month's e-m-o-t-i-o-n-a-l r-o-l-l-e-r-c-o-a-s-t-e-r. cos i am useless at being on my own - i hate all those voices echoing in my head. at least they have company.

i have fabulous news - school has turned out to be a goodie, not a baddie - the kiddos are so settled and so happy and in such a wonderful space and i am r-e-l-i-e-v-e-d. the mahvellous thing is that there is all this wonderful stuff going on every day and i don't have to organise any of it! which means we have huge energy for the weekends.

that's a damn good thing, cos it was raining cats'n'dogs on saturday - a quick trip to the dvd rental store - problem solved. Big Family Day playing Buzz and James Bond and eating soup - our favourite comfort food. and i sneaked off to sew a skirt with this adorable fabric that i had found on Friday -

'twas a bit more pricey than a sheet from the sallies but OH! so worth it. turns out it's stretch lycra, but i sewed s-l-o-w-l-y and c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y and IT WORKED!!! it falls so beautifully, it's very swishy and a dream to wear.

Jaimee had her baby boy and i have nearly finished her pressie - here's a sneaky peep -

it needs threads trimming and buttons and a final tittivation... that looks like too many Ts.

today the sun came out and we ventured to a friend's resort this arvo - a palm trees by the pool sorta resort - clare and i ended up a little fuzzy headed on malibu and pineapple - photo proof.

now i'm off to bed "...to do my university reading..." (i have been listening to Bulldog say that sentence for YEARS!!! and now i can say it my very self lol) before my moodle convo tomorrow (thank God i've been a Web Wife for all these years, it turns out that moodle is as easy as holding a mouse), which will be squeezed in around my ART CLASS!!! yes, i have chosen a paper on Teaching Art Through Painting and Printing. o-a-r-s-o-m-e.

and i think, on Tuesday, Bulldog and i will take our university reading and our little oasis to the beach.

t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r. all on our onesies.
