INCHES LOST !!!

It was another hot stinking humid BLAH day today and tonight is not much better.
mark and i have decided to bite the bullet and raid the bank account (such that it is) and buy the ceiling fans we decided on a few weeks back and have them installed. the kids all have floor fans but they have such a big footprint and in jakey's room especially with the entire drum kit in there, room is very minimal.

i went off to the gym today and decided to bite the bullet and get weighed and measured. i have avoided it for the past few mths because i just knew that it wouldn't be pretty. i have put on 1.9 kgs which was a bit depressing but the pleasent surprise came when i was measured. against all odds i have lost inches and since starting the program i have lost 30 inches!!!
to say i was shocked was an understatement but i am pleased.
without even trying too hard i have managed to drop those inches....
imagine how many i would lose if i really gave it a good shot !!!!
then tonight, del our darling neighbour popped over to "borrow" some tomatoes and as i turned around to get them out of the fridge she asked me if i had lost weight !!!
i was very chuffed to say the least.
nicole kidman i am not - and never will be - but i was so pleased to get that compliment from del. very pleased indeed.

no scrapping today as i got stuck in and started writing in my chrissy cards. no handmade ones this year as with every good intention i had, they just never got made.
oh well.
i have promised myself that one of my new year's resolutions will be to make a few cards every week or so and have all these gorgeous handmade cards to amaze people with christmas 2006.
joanie always keeps me supplied with her gorgeous papers so i will have plenty of paper to create my creations.
the latest pieces she has passed onto me are just amazing....almost too beautiful to cut up and use.

i am planning on scrapping up a storm tomorrow so hopefully the scrapping gods will be kind and make all my other chores disappear so i can scrap.

i like peeking in on the lives of other bloggers and always find a good chuckle on ngaire bartlam's blog - go and have a look and a good old chuckle (click on the links)
man....that woman must do a lot of net surfing to find all the cool things she does.
and she always has such "get-down-and-boogie" music playing in the background too.

well my gorgeous fella is finally home and we are gonna have some "us" time

wishing you a tomorrow filled with smiles, rainbows, flowers, laughter and love
til next time
