WEDNESDAY

not much has been happening.
have only managed to finish scrapping some calendars that i started as christmas gifts for some friends. i really am itching to get back into some serious scrapping of pics - i have some gorgeous pics to scrap taken with the new camera. maybe today...
*SIGH*

marie and kelvin, blake and andrew turned up on monday afternoon. marie is as sweet and as bubbly and as gorgeous as i knew she would be. the happiness just bubbles up out of her. kait and her friend, lily and i are heading down to lennox this afternoon for a few hours to catch up with marie and her family and i am hoping that i will be able to take mark down to meet her before they head back next week.
hopefully i will have some pics of the two of us together to share soon.

last night i took kait and lily to see "Night at the Museum".
the three of us all thoroughly enjoyed it...it was such an entertaining movie - a little scary in parts maybe for littlies but just sooooo funny in other parts. the girls repeated lines from it the whole way home in the car and just about drove mark and the boys crazy acting out scenes from it after we got home.
always a good sign that a movie was a hit i think.
loved the "owen wilson/ben stiller" combination again. those two certainly have a comedic chemistry on the screen - love it.

good to see this gorgeous girl back blogging. she had a pretty rough year last year so pop into her blog and say "hi, glad to have you back"

also HUGE congrats to this very talented lady on her latest venture.
not only an awesome scrapper but a genuinely lovely chick to boot.

i am off to give plasma today. i am on the permanent plasma schedule now which means every two weeks i toddle off to the blood bank and give 650 mls of plasma.
it is used for burns patients, cancer patients and people with certain blood disorders.
giving blood is something i have done since i was 16, only stopping when i was pregnant and breast feeding.
i see it as my way of giving to the community without fanfare and seeing i don't work fulltime i am blessed to have the time to do it. the staff are always so friendly and welcoming.
maybe some of you could look at giving blood and/or plasma yourselves.
i figure one day it could be a loved one or friend of mine that needs a life saving transfusion of blood or plasma and i hope there is someone else out there who thinks the same as me so that there is blood for them to have.

anyways....off my soapbox for today.
hope you all have a great wednesday.

look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and remember, let those you love, know that you do ~~

Ohh is that Lennox Heads you're talking about Shazz? I have such happy memories of Michael and I having holidays there before our kiddies came along! So glad you had the chance to catch up with Marie, that must've been so special!

Love Chrissy xx

Well Shazzy I had a bit of a boot in the bum this week when a dear friend almost died after a complication of a female opt, almost bleed to death, had 2 transfusions and waited an entire 12hrs for the 3rd. The nurse said if me people gave blood she wouldn't have had to wait so long. So Em and I are going to track down the process and see how we do. Glad you've caught up with Marie, it certaintly has been quiet without her around much hasn't it!!!!
