Random Stuff

Hey stace! will get around to my tagging soon.

Congratulations K on the arrival of little cherub M. I cannot wait to hear the story of her arrival.

Before anyone asks. Nope. Not Pregnant.

Doing great in my course. Having a breather for a week, and then will be stuck right in it again.

I bought my dress for phantom of the opera. It's RED!
I bought my bra to match the dress for phantom. It's Black. And sexy. And cost me $8!! I bought 13 pairs of socks, 1 pair of Nothing Knickers, 5 bras and a lovely new top for $22 at Kmart today. 4 of those bras cost me 60 cents each. (75 cents with 20% off!!) I love finding bargains.

I need someone to buy a logo or a website off me. anyone?

Tara is driving me batty tonight.

Ally is going to the movies with the other woman once child and I go to bed.

Tara has daycare tomorrow. Tears from both of us I am sure. Ask me in two more weeks time how she's going. Or if she is still going. Mixed opinions.

I was in a big Sydney Newspaper recently for belly dancing. Oops. In two photos. Double oops. I looked like crap. Triple oops.

I love belly dancing so much - even though I SUCK BIG TIME!

That's enough of a random update. Miss you all. Still in a blogging funk. Getting out of my life funk. I'll be back soon, I promise.

Library Thing

(Why do I wish to day THANG?)

Anyhoo... been meaning to put this on since the AllDoulas crowd introduced me to LT, but then I forgot. Well I saw WonderingWillow has it on her site and I felt all inspired again.

Thing is... I cannot get it to display properly!! it just does them inline - even when I don't choose inline... argh! can anyone help?

More Results!

I got full marks on the last test! yeeeehaaaaww!

I got a question wrong on the test before it though which was a silly mistake. ugh!

Moving on to doing my assignment and the teaching module. Very excited

Yippee!

Yay me! Results for my tests.

OK. I have two left, but I need to do some more study for those (want them done by the end of the week).

The last couple of weeks i have been making some progress on my course. I have managed to polish off 6 tests in the last couple of weeks.

My marks have been OK. Considering they are multiple choice, true or false, open tests you can download ahead of time, I consider the fact I have dropped the ball a few times a bit sad. But tonight I have scored full marks on TWO of my tests! And I had a grade amended on another test because I proved the question was left open to interpretation and I proved my case for the answer. Yay me!

So, two left in this series (Physiology of Birth tests), another on teaching in the next module, my assignment (which the first part is written in detail, need to do some more) and then the next modules (the teaching stuff).

I am feeling motivated and excited, which is nice for a change.

Hair.... wonderful hair....

I was inspired on Friday to dye my hair. Tara's carer had dyed their hair and had a chop, and I felt all inspired to at least dye my hair.

I went to the supermarket, found some dye and decided on the colour. Dark Medium Brown. Not reddish brown. Not copper. Not purple. Just plain simple brown.

I get home, mix the packet apply to my head. Then I decide to clean up and I noticed the box. It did not say brown. It did not say red. It did not even say purple.

It said "Thailand Ebony"

I meant to get "Brazil Brown"

My hair was in the process (by this time it had been on 20 mins) of turning BLACK!!!

So anyway. Now I have black hair. very black hair. It really pays to check the box immediately before applying dye.

Sewing Machines

Well, as many of you know my plans for the business went a little south when I did not get the sewing machine for christmas. Well, I plan to put one on layby this weekend or next.

I am looking at the following machines - yes, they are all Janome. This is important!

Click on the name of the machine to view the brochure!

CS995 <---- has speed control, memory function, alphabet included in stitches, unsure on the superior feed system (7 contact spots where the foot is) $799

DC3050 <----- no speed control, can handle extra fabric depth, no superior feed system, memory function... $699

MC3500 <----- has speed control, superior feed system , not as many stitches, $599

625e <----- speed control, limited stitches, heavy duty, no superior feed system. heavy duty $449

So do any of you have any of these machines?

I really want to put one on layby this weekend somewhere... and I have narrowed it down to those machines.

your wisdom is appreciated!
