keeping me accountable

Other blogs call these blogs "happy homemaker Monday" however I am not a homemaker and it isn't Monday so I am going to call it the keeping me accountable blog and I have also changed a few of the questions to suit me better.

One of my simple pleasures:
My morning coffee, although you might say its the people around me's simple pleasure as I am not a morning person and therefore am no pleasure to be around before my morning coffee!

In the DD player:
I am currently watching series 3 of Outrageous Fortune, and I love it such good New Zealand crap telly!!!

NB: my nieces call DVDs DDs and I have adapted it, I think it is cute!

On the menu tonight:
Probably nothing or a piece of fruit on my way out...

On the to do list:
Ah the list is endless, however on the immediate list....
  • Finish putting the washing away
  • Buy fabric for tap costumes
  • Write a letter to HSBC
  • Clean the bathroom & vacuum the floor
  • Paint my nails
In the craft basket:
I have a scarf and my Bruno Headpiece, I would like to have both finished before spring hits!
The pattern for the Bruno Headpiece can be found here: http://spotlight.com.au/__data/page/12488/E13_09_BuranoHeadpiece_PS.pdf

Looking forward to:

Taking my Mum to the opening night of Wicked in Sydney for her birthday and spending Father's day with my Dard (Dad - welcome to the English language according to me!) in a couple of weeks.

Favourite purchase this week:
Would have to be my new patent black booties, which I can't wait to take them on their first outing!

Favourite Photo of the week:
I moved my room around on the weekend - I'm very proud of myself as I was able to move all my heavy furniture all on my own! Vinnie was very helpful as well until he decided it was nap time...

P!NK

On Friday night I went to the Pink concert and let me just say WOW that woman is amazing, to be able to be swung around on a trapese and still sing perfectly AMAZING! It was such a great show!

Welcome...

Welcome to my ramblings... They maybe about things I have made, places I have been or things I am thinking... A place to vent or a place to hide... Anyway lets sit back and enjoy the ride...

I love this shot of sunset, I could look at it and get lost for hours even though I wasn't actually there... Wish I was though!!!
