Successful shopping trip!

It's big. It's black. It's VERY shiney. Welcome to our family Baby Aquos! *drool* 81cms of flat beautiful LCD colour. *gaaaaar homerstyle*

AND! I found a MASSIVE lincraft near our house! OMG! Heaven. AND cheaper than Spotlight! AND massive. did I say that already? Oh. I like I like I like.

AND! Tara got Rainbow Shoelaces!

AND! I am going to a fashion show tonight to raise money to build toilets (I think) in India... or somewhere.

Today is a good day.

Now, to spruce myself up a bit!

Oh No!

Our TV just died.

I don't know who is more upset, Tara or Me. She's crying because Idol was on when it happened. Ally is celebrating because it means he has justifiable reason to buy the new TV we have been talking about.

gotta love technology.



In other news,

I see the fertility specialist on monday after an ultrasound revealed my ovaries are Polycystic. Joy Joy.

Children's Song Groups and Religion

The wiggles were singing "and hear the word from the lord" this morning. (Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Thigh Bones song)

Adult pop groups often sing about God/Jesus/Allah/Whoever in their songs, but I can easily turn off my listening to those bits if I want...

But the Wiggles? Since when did they start showing Religious Favouritism?

All about Tara.

Favourite Tara-isms

"I wan a duddle"
"woh dee dee dee?" (watch dvd with plead)
"doast" (anything using bread)
"I wan [insert whatever]" (includes Food, drink, Toy, That! - whatever THAT! is...)
She especially loves it when she sees something on TV "I wan wat dat" Especially a favourite when the Aussie Idol add comes on TV.

Which leads into the new "I want" phrase.

I was looking for a doona cover for her (the eternal quest at the moment!) and she saw what I was looking for and looked at me and said "I want pooh bear bed"

*slaps head*

She currently has an obsession with Pooh bear. Started with huggies, which we wanted to get her out of, so we changed from pooh bear nappies to pooh bear knickers. She's dry most of the time now hehe... but it has also backfired in her wanting all things Pooh. We downloaded the Pooh bear 1970s movie for her and she watched it over and over (we've been sick in this house!) and then when she wanted to watching AGAIN, I just had to say "Pooh Bear Sleep". She took that OK. but has asked for everything pooh bear since. Pooh Books, Pooh DVD, Pooh Knickers and now Pooh Bed.

I am trying to dissuade her a bit, but at the same time, how much of this is her and her self expression...? Would I be enabling the consumerism obsessed child if I actually got her a Pooh Doona? Since it is half the price of the doona I ACTUALLY want to get her (Freckles Dragonfly that I am not buying for $100!)...

I would not mind so much if I could find a classic pooh doona in double for $50-$60, but it's all modern/70s pooh... :(

Argh... dilemas!!

Recipe Please?

I am after a VERY easy, simple and quick biscuit recipe.

Biccies should be slightly soft and chewy, not crunchy.

It has to be a basic recipe that I can alter with fruit/choc/jam when I need.

Must be easy for 3 year old to help.

I have eggs, flour (plain, corn, self raising), butter, sugar (brown and white and caster), golden syrup, custard powder... maybe bicarb...?

Link me people! (or comment with the recipe!)

Little Words

Three little words:

I knew it.


One down, One (maybe two) to go.

I don't want Balls!

OK... something is getting on my nerves a lot at the moment and so thought I would do what I do wonderfully on my blog. Rant.

Let me make it clear - I am not a male. I don't want to be a male. I don't strive to be more manly.

So why on earth does someone thing it appropriate to tell me I have Balls when I have done a good thing?

Why is saying "You've got Balls!" a compliment when said to a woman?

I don't have balls. I don't want Balls.

OVARIES PEOPLE!!

I HAVE OVARIES!

I am sick of seeing it on TV, or on movies, or on the radio that the epitome of someone doing a bold activity causing awe from those around is met with the same crap "you've got balls" comment... sure. Men do, but WOMEN DO NOT.

so, next time you want to say Balls to me, think again ;)
