][ taking stock \\ 2 ][

Making : progress on sewing badges onto little athletics tops. 
Cooking : home made pesto. Try stirring it through warm potatoes. Yummola. 
Drinking : water, though Mr TBT and I did enjoy a cider or 2 while he was home. 

Reading: Getting Started in Free Range Poultry by the NSW DPI. I know. I'm a nerd. 

Wanting: to read Vantastic by Kate Ulman, but I'm scared it might tip me over the edge and I might end up doing something about these itchy feet of mine. This lady isn't helping my cause, nor this lady either. 

Looking: forward to meeting my friend Kate's not so new baby Lucy. 

Playing: anything other than childrens audio books, 'The Best of Playschool' and Justine Clark. Sorry Justine, I love you but now that the holidays are over...

Deciding: that I must get better at decision making. 
Wishing: for more laughter. You can never have enough.
Enjoying: our wisteria which is flowering again! Now!
 

Waiting: for my iPad to arrive
Liking: that I finally finished the playroom cushions. 


Wondering: what I should be when I grow up? 
Loving: my husband and beautiful kidlets. 
Pondering: rhubarb. I just love the word. Not sure I like the vegetable. Something worth pondering though. 
Considering: what to plant in our new garden beds in the front yard. Maybe some rhubarb?
Watching:  the Family Confidential about Miranda Kerr on ABC. I loved living in Gunnedah. It is the most friendly town in the Australia. 
Hoping:that this divine sunshine will stick around. 
Marvelling: at the fact that since Melanie and I spoke last, she has got engaged (in the French Alps mind you) and up the duff. Where did the time go?
Needing: I don't think I really need anything. I have a want list a mile long though. 
Smelling: our neighbours cigarette smoke in our living room. Ugh. 
Wearing: a very old dress that reminds me of my friend Kate cos I bought it while visiting her on the sunny coast (I have a lot of Kate's in my life).  
Following: the news about that poor 12 year old girl who was married off, and hoping they throw the book at everyone involved. 
Noticing: my kids are growing up. Fast. 
Knowing: that Rupert is the lucky last I'm trying to take the time to enjoy it. 
Thinking: about my great aunt Kitty. She turned 98 this week. Happy birthday!
Feeling: for all those who have been affected by the bush fires. 
Admiring: my husbands handiwork in the front yard. 


Sorting: through baby things. I can't believe we have 3 sizes worth of clothes to re-home already. 
Buying: an iPad. Did I mention that?
Getting: excited about my iPad. 
Bookmarking: sooo many blogs to explore from my new friends over at Blog with Pip
Disliking: ugg boots as a fashion statement.  

Giggling: at the chooks. Still. Sorry. 
Feeling: like I need to be better at staying in touch with my dear friends. 
Snacking: way too much. Time to get my pre cub condition back. 
Coveting: my friend Helen's zest for life. Think I'll take a leaf out of her book, when I have the energy. 
Helping: a friend with decision making. Yes me. I can help others make decisions, I just can't do it for myself. Ok?
Hearing: Rupert's and Arthur's belly laugh makes me laugh too.
 


From the good ship Meet Me at Mikes. Want to play too? You're it. Copy and paste and fill in the blanks.

    1. I though the pic you posted from inside Sheila looked lovely! I was surprised that Kate says in the book that an onboard dunny wasn't a good thing as they smell. But so do public toilets. And I can't imagine not having a tut with 4 kids onboard....hmmm might have to think about that one...

  5. Great list
    We loved play school and Justine here too. Now that my smalls are all at school, they've moved on although every now and again someone will sing "Watermelon". Love it! (but also happy it is no longer on repeat in the car…)

    1. Hi Jenny. Thanks for dropping by!! Yes watermelon is a firm fave in this house too but my favourite Justine song has got to be the one to make you smile. With 2 littlies coming through I think we will be doing the dinosaur roar for sometime yet though!!
