30

So my gorgeous husband turned 30 yesterday (shhhh, he doesn't like to be reminded about this!) and so our weekend has officially begun as I have taken the day off work to join my husband in a lazy day to make a 3 day weekend. Bliss! Well I've only taken a day and a half off so far this year, so it's very welcome.



I'm also trying out a lot of cinnamon flavoured things. At the moment, it's cinnamon swirls, in a vain attempt to make it trigger memories, best case scenario of Disney, but at the least I'm hoping for Autumn!



How has the last 2 years just whizzed by? Seriously? I can't believe it's the end of September already. The anticipation is the best part ;)

Short and Sweet

I am feeling beyond lousy right now. A cold has managed to sneak up on me this afternoon & I've been struggling ever since, so I shall be very brief:

Saturday:


I had my contact lens appointment. I haven't worn any in 8 years. I remembered why. Alas I need them, so I just need to make it work for a couple of months and then I shall go back to being perfectly happy with my glasses. I love my glasses. I'm rather attached to them. Sadly to get around a water park I need those contact lenses! And I look silly without my glasses.



I actually got around to Smashing last night. I've not touched any scrapbooking stash since I last did some smashing back in April? or June? Either or. I worked on my Disney Smash Book which I'm particularly fond of right now :) It's hard to believe that we've waited for so long and now our time is almost here! My American sim has arrived (I've decided on Red Pocket) & my halloween costume has been tried on & I looooove it! I will be a brunette Alice lol. I was lucky enough to find an official Disney one on eBay pretty cheap, and I'm already excited to get to wear it properly at the party. I have already warned my work colleagues between now & our departure date shall be pretty much unbearable ;)

Right, bed calls. I need some rest, and hope that I can sleep it off.

Autumnal

Well hello there. Yes I am still here, but to be fair I didn't think there was much to blog about. I have come up with a few ideas for topics to get on my soapbox about the next time that happens. My car got fixed! I was so happy when it started back up thanks to wonderful uncle!

I have been entertaining all my Facebook friends with old family photographs, and as a result myself and 2 of my cousins have changed our profile pictures to old school ones. Well, all the kiddies are back to school and little Lauren had her first day so it seemed fitting. To be honest talking about old photos is another post in itself and I think I may save that topic for next week if things are the same old, same old.

The weather is certainly changing. I have been happily curled up on the sofa at home, apple & spice candle going with our small lamp on as the night draws in early. And eating beef casserole (Will have to get some part baked rolls for the cupboard!)

I have done a free website mockup class in photoshop which for me was a perfect excuse to have a play learning new techniques that I was doing the long way round so now I know a quicker way. Some of the tips will also help when I get around to doing a few other of my crafty bits (when time & inspiration allows it shall be a freebie kit and some more Hanson crafts). I've not scrapped in ages, but I want to focus a bit more on design right now. That's where my head is at.


I had some fab news at the hospital as well: I definitely have more proctitis and because it's only affecting 10cm in a few months they reckon I should be off the meds all together and in remission! So fingers crossed :)
