Long Weekend!

Hooray for a 3-day weekend! It's Australia Day today, but seeing as the actual day is a Saturday, the public holiday is on Monday. 3 days of blissfull nothingness for me! :) Well except for laundry and dishes lol!

We are going to visit my grandmother and aunt etc tomorrow to scope out all of Ab's old baby stuff. We are definitely taking the cot and the bassinette, but I haven't seen anything else of what she has left over from Phee, Boo and Gus. However I'm sure it will all come in useful!

I especially can't wait to see how much my cousins have grown, I saw the boys in November, but Phee was on a school camp then. I mean it's only been a couple of months, but those kids are like weeds, especially the two boys!

Oh, I also have a massive new teddy bear! His name is Arthur, he's bright pink and like 10ft tall! Well, not 10ft, but he is actually taller than me and I fall over backward trying to pick him up. Fungus and Jay bought him home from the hard rubbish actually, but he was all wrapped in plastic and is brand new. Right now he is sitting in the corner of our bedroom and I use him as a chair, he is that big I can actually sit ON him and be properly supported. I love my teddy!

Well, off to see my family and watch the boys put a new exhaust on Fungus's skyline... thrilling!

Enjoy your weekend!

People Suck

People suck... specifically anonymous commenters who are talking out their ass, and are too chicken to even let me know who they are.

That is all.

Baby Blog!

Woot... have started a baby/pregnancy blog thing... hopefully it will be more succesful than the journal I have tried to start. Anyway, to check up on the bub and me go to http://maternalmayhem.blogspot.com

It's not too squeamish atm, but I will try and warn you if it gets that way! Please drop in and leave some comments! :)

Late-night TUI (not really)

Well being as I'm up the duff it's not a good idea to be legitimately TUI (typing under the influence) but I am pretty tired so randomness similar to drinking will ensue.

At the moment I am busy watching Drawn Together (quote possibly THE most politically incorrect show that I have EVER EVER seen) randomly net surfing and have just finished cooking some awesome mince to go underneath some even cooler nachos (if Fungus and Jay ever get around to constructing them... lazy assholes!)

Well, I survived my first week back at work after 2 weeks off, which other really didn't rock... mostly due to the heat. The factory heats up like an oven. But I did miss the boys there, they do make me laugh pretty damned hard!

I swear this baby is making the warm weather feel even hotter, if it weren't for water restrictions I would spend forever under the shower trying to stay cool! It has been pretty hot over the last few nights... but who needs a weather report?

Oh, the digital camera ate its own head or something, totally not working. Hopefully we can get it repaired. (The camera shop was on holidays but I think they open again on Monday) It's a bloody good camera, so if it's rooted replacing it will mean a) lots of money or b) a less awesome camera. This upsets me immensely, I enjoy playing with the camera and I have a new house that I want to Flickr all over the place... not to mention the baby bump! (Yes, Miranda finally looks less like a goal post... and more like a goal post that swallowed a bowling ball!)

I finally got my Christmas pressy from Ryan last week too (shipping took a while) he got me a Nintendo DS... but no games. Now I need to buy some games otherwise all I have is an expensive electronic calendar. (I got him a shirt, a lighter and the box set of the Pirates of the Carribean movies!) However it is hard to decide what games I want... I mean Nintendogz looks soooo cute, but would I really play it? Those brain training ones look fun though, as does the DS version of Zelda... I loved it on the SNES (yes I am THAT much of a geek!)

Hmmm, it's almost 12.30. I should probably sleep being as I am tired, but there are still NO nachos, even though I made the mince for them 1/2 an hour ago and I do want some nachos. Bah... I'll wake up like 4 or 5 times anyways, who am I kidding, at least if I'm totally exhausted it should probably be only once or twice.

I just realised I used 'should probably' twice in the last paragraph. Either I am pretty tired, or maybe I just talk the same a lot. If I had the energy I would go through this blog and see if there are any other repeated phrases.

Right... analysing my writing style to the point of finding recurring patterns in my sentence structure it's totally time I went to bed, or at least stopped writing!

Night all!

Love Miranda xoxo

For everyone who doesn't know yet...

Well I'm finally back online... and this time for real. Assuming the modem and router don't spontaneously combust or some weird shit like that....

So the news is pretty much out, but I figure there's still a few of you who haven't caught on yet.... and I'm trying VERY hard to think of an awesome way to do it, but I lack a scanner, which is what I really wanted so I'm just gonna give this a go and hope it works...



This is the baby talking not me, I'm considerably taller than 10 inches... and yes it kicks plenty! My due date is May 19... so here's an early warning that I will randomly dissapear offline for some time around then.

Well... now that the 'big' news is out of the way let's move onto the rest of everything that's happened while I've been away. We got our own place, as in our names are on the lease and no one else, it's actually just ours! Which is absolutely awesome when we get home and are tired and cranky, we don't have to stress out about upsetting housemates... oh and the best part is no one minds (expect me) if I forget the dishes.

I will try and keep everyone a little more updated on my life now that we have net again, and try not to get too baby-centric in my posts, although that is hard... 99% of my thoughts at the moment are somehow related to this awesome little being.

Catch up soon!

Love, Miranda xoxo
