Girls with Merry Christmas Cow

LOVING : I am loving that it’s getting close to Christmas and that my girls couldn’t be more excited!  I am loving that I know what they are getting and already I am loving the reaction I can picture in my head, and it ROCKS can I just add!  Although Kira did mentioned last night that it doesn’t really feel that close to Christmas and I have to agree with her.  But I think it’s just because the days are flying by so quickly, we haven’t really had a chance to sit and just embrace it.

READING : I have actually not been reading much at all lately.  As I mentioned I go through fades.   But I am going camping over the holidays and can see myself taking my kindle along with me to lounge about and catch up on some reading.

ANTICIPATING : CHRISTMAS… We are having a little family gathering here this year, and I must admit I am rather looking forward to the laid back, tight knit feeling.  Even known today I will be cleaning like a mad women?  I don’t really make sense huh, haha! CAMPING… When I say camping, I don’t mean camp sites all set up with toilets and showers, oh no I mean real camping.  Well there is a toilet, don’t even get me started.  While everyone knows I am not a HUGE fan of camping and yes I do drive 20 minutes into the nearest town every morning to pay $2 for a shower [no, no lie].  I do enjoy the time away, no reception [at camp site, is in town].  And the girls always have the BEST time.

LISTENING TO :

PLANNING : Once again it’s back to the washing, haha.  Every time, but the last time I am always planning on catching up on my washing.  But really it shouldn’t take that long, and being that the weather is a hot one today, clothes will dry in no time.  I am also planning on getting my ripple cake made and peppermint balls for Christmas eve and day.  And planning some craft time in there somewhere.

WORKING ON :  Getting the house organised and catching up on my December Daily later today.  As well as a few posts that I have on the go that need posting on this here blog.

WISHING : That I could click my fingers and my house would be instantly clean, or maybe even wiggle my nose, like on bewitched.  I mean I have the ginger hair, pretty sure I have the nose wiggle down pat, come on what more do I have to do.

[I just wanted to show how long my little Pippa Dippa's ears are.  That and she was aloud to sleep with us again and even last night as well, hubby really must be going soft].

LOVING : I am loving that I have caught up on my washing as of Wednesday and *touchwood* have stayed on top of it even today. Hubby asked if I was sick, OH he’s a comedian, right?  It makes it easier having smaller loads that is for sure.  Will I stay on top of it?  I wont lie, probably not, but while I am, I am SO boosting about it.

READING : I just started a new book Wednesday night, Dirty Blood by Heather Hildenbrand.  I had started reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood again and loving it, but wanted to have a little break from them.  Do any of you get like that?  When your reading a series you just need that little break?  I read 4 of them in a row in a little over a week, still a few more to go.

WATCHING : Well I am watching my computer screen right now and these words being typed haha!  But tonight is movie night where we go and hire DVDs and I want to get That’s My Boy and Rock of Ages…. Anyone seen them?  Any good?

ANTICIPATING : Christmas….. COME on don’t tell me you haven’t all noticed how close it’s getting?  I was even already thinking about getting a few crafty things to record our camping holiday over the holidays?  I went and skipped Christmas and straight to holidays, haha, just goes to show how craft really does take over.  And yes I do craft while camping, the guys find it hilarious at start, now they are used to it and try and find better lighting for me at night, haha.  So really Kellie : 1 – Guys – 0, lol.  I am trying this whole get organised thing, trial and error thing, more error than trial haha.

LISTENING TO : 

PLANNING : FINALLY I don’t have to say planning on catching up with my washing, but look out for it next time haha.  Instead getting more Christmas cards made over the weekend, a couple of smash pages, washing, cleaning, a week or two of my project life, play with my cameo [yet to do so] and stop eating peanut butter out of the jar – I type while having a spoon hanging out of mouth.

WORKING ON :  This post, haha.  I actually will be working on a photo frame idea over the weekend.  Maybe a post coming during the week next week if it works out.

WISHING : That is was Summer.  I know, I know I even shock myself when I say that.  As I am a redhead and heat and I don’t overly mix, moody is a word I would use and even then I am being nice to myself, hahaha…. Mind you I don’t mean 40+, slap you in the face when you open the door, can’t breath, the fridge becomes the best seat in the house with the door closed [I don't really do this, I might had opened and stood in front of it a while longer than needed], and your ice-cream melts before you even get a lick.  But you know warmer weather, it’s long over due and mother nature if your listening, I am more than ready when you are.

What are you CURRENTLY doing?  If you do a post be sure to link in the comments so I can come along and check it out.  I’m nosy like that haha, kidding I just like getting to know people more.

Nothing says getting to work like a coffee from maccas, right?  Spent a lot of my time here this week, getting things done and working hard…

LOVING : As of right now [YES, I did it again...] I am loving that Heidi’s other front tooth finally fell out.  It just hanging there was making me get squirm-mish [<-----that's a word, I am sure of it]. Loving that I have enough room that I can do work in my craftroom desk, and that lately the sun is shining through after having a horrid winter.

READING : OH yeah I finally get to answer this,with a BOOK!  I think I only did this here post just to update the fact that I have been reading, lol.  I am reading the series by Jeaniene Frost – Night Huntress, and can I just say the picture of the character Bones in my head is HOT, a mix between Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Billy Idol of all people?  But I broke my kindle :(

WATCHING : I am hoping to be watching the first episode, season 5 of Son’s of Anarchy tonight if my cousin gets it for me, and I have to say I can not WAIT.

THINKING ABOUT : My head is completely over loaded at the moment and I really couldn’t nail it down to just the one thing.

STRESSING ABOUT : Getting things done on a dead line.  I am working on something that I will share soon and I really want to make sure everything is perfect.  I am also finalizing something at the same time and so tying up a bunch of lose ends.  I just stress that I will miss something.  Plus who am I kidding, if you know me, you would know I am basically always stressing about something.

LOOKING FORWARD TO : This weekend, my sister is down for the weekend, YAY taxi Kellie in action, haha.  Man that girl owes me some petrol money lol!  And also catching up for some drinks with a girlfriend of mine that I always have a bunch of laughs with.  OH and I am so looking forward to when my new kindle shows up, this reading on your i-phone is good and all, but I miss the kindle feel and a bigger screen.

NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO : Well with that being said above, I’d have to say Sunday morning, haha!  And Monday, just because it’s Monday!

LISTENING TO : Actually as I type this [scheduled post] I have my itunes playing and hubby has taken the girls to pick up Kira from netball training and the song just happens to be John Butler – Ocean…  Never heard it?  You need to.

What are you currently doing?

Currently Monday…

You know I started this Monday with all intentions of finishing it, but life doesn’t always go to plan and so here I am on a Tuesday with Monday in the title.  Just doesn’t seem right really does it?  And I again have to rush as I am meant to be doing accounts.

LOVING : – As of right now [ I know how annoying I say that every time, haha ].  The quite.  I’ll be honest I love my girls so much I could cry at the thought of it, but after 2 weeks of school holidays and don’t get me wrong they weren’t naughty all the time, but the past few days you could tell they were SO over it, with their fighting and arguing with one another.  Today they are back at school and kindergarten and I am just “LOVING” the peace and quite as of right now. <—- [typed yesterday aka Monday.  But Bow went to work with hubby today, so another ME day].

READING :- I did read a flyer the other day out of boardem, can that count?

WATCHING :- Right now I have The Circle, a Aussie talk show with an amazing bunch of women [one male today] and always good for a laugh.

ANTICIPATING :- Getting these accounts that are so late being that it’s basically give or take mid month.  But trying to get them done on school holidays?  OH don’t make me laugh.  Today is the DAY, I’ll TRY and make it the day either ways.

LISTENING TO :- I do still have my itunes playing even known I have the TV on as well.  I basically hit pause when the show comes back on from an ad break.  And as of RIGHT NOW it’s Kylie Minogue – Timebomb.  And I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it and rolled my eyes to the clip thinking, here we go again, wearing next to nothing, blah blah.  But then like always I hate a song and end up loving it the next week.  THIS however does not apply with One Direction, in fact I had to laugh when I jumped in the car a few weeks back radio mid song and I started singing along, I was so embarrassed [only one in the car, not the point] that I was actually singing along with one of their songs.  I am weary now ever since to really be careful on not repeating this.

PLANNING :- Did I mention washing last time?  Pretty sure I did, so to continue with planning, I am still planning on catching up on all my washing.  Isn’t that what planning is all about?  I am still in the planning process and not yet into the processing stage of the plan.  And once again I should bring up accounts, I am “planning” on getting them all done by the end of the day, or wee AM tomorrow, but still non the less done.

WORKING ON :- Kira, yup 13 and we have started the process of “how to deal with your teenager”.  I am sure there is a book out there actually called this, but I am not reading it, haha.  Maybe I should then I would have something to add next time in the reading question.  But day 3 and no major argument [touch wood].  I am trying, trying REALLY hard to ignore her talking back and attitude and instead give a quick and simple answer in a calm [mostly shaky] voice and then to drop the topic almost as soon as it started.  How long I can do this for I am not sure, but it’s making for a better house hold so far.  And it’s a really nice feeling, lots more laughter.

WISHING :- I could just click my fingers or wiggle my nose and all the house work was done, no seriously it does cross my mind often how amazing that would be.

What are you “currently” doing? xx

002

LOVING : – As of right now I am loving the my i-pod, my laptop and the fact that the little two are down for the night and Kira opt to go to bed to watch a DVD.  Today is the first day of school holidays and we decided to take the girls to go and see Ice Age 4 and it was great.  To get to a cinema from Sunny ol Seymour you have to drive about an hour.  So we are all a little tired.  But when we were there watching the movie I was “loving” the girls faces, their excitement, and when they would catch me staring at them they would give me a big cheesy grin from ear to ear that could bring a tear to my eye now thinking about it.  And hearing all the little giggles from all the other kids watching it too, was just something I didn’t expect to like hearing so much.

READING :- I would love to say something smart here, or even a book in general.  I tend to go through BURSTS of reading 5 books in a row and then nothing for 5 months and then BAM.  Although can I ask, does reading blogs count?  I like to think they do?

WATCHING :- United States of Tara season 3….  I don’t know what it is about this show that I love so much?  Maybe the fact that the leading role is the amazing Toni Collette, an Aussie gal.  And she is just that, amazing, in fact more than that.  I have always liked her in the roles she plays, but WOW!  Playing a character that has not one but about 7 or was it 8?  Either ways, split personalities and she plays them all so well that you feel like you are watching another person, not just her playing another character.  Does that make sense?  I am so glad I got into this, but so annoyed that it’s now been canned BOO.

ANTICIPATING :- A few things, some close and some far away.  I did mention we started school holidays yeah?  I am anticipating Kira being bored then hungry, then bored again and wait for it……hungry, haha.  She knows this too, we had a laugh about it last night.  The fact that she turns 13 on the 11th of July, NO, I’m not ready!  Although let’s face it she started acting like a pre-teen 11, so I can’t see much changing.

LISTENING TO :-  At this very moment my i-pod, well i-phone/i-pod same thing.  AS of right this moment the song is San Cisco – Awkward.  Check it out here. I absolutely LOVE it and have my girls singing along with it earlier today.  I am also listening to a little of Kate Tucker, amazing.  Black Lab and some songs from The Sons of Anarchy, YES I am that sad that I love having music from shows I watch.  Sometimes you hear them a few times in the episodes that they stick and I have to look them up and have them.

PLANNING :- On catching up with all my washing.  It’s a plan, I didn’t say I was actually going to see it through, lol!  No I actually did 5 yes I said 5 loads, but if I am REALLY honest it was 6, and needless to say I was at the ol laundry matt off and on most of the day to dry as it ain’t going to happen in this miserable weather.  Also I turn 30 in August and trying to get invites out and sort some little details like an outfit, ALREADY, yes I am female after all, haha.  And not sure if I should go dress or pants.  Being that it’s winter and cold and will be even colder, etc, etc.  You see my dilemma?

WORKING ON :- Being less stressed or not so much that more being patient with things and people.  I am noticing more and more that I get irritated easily and it’s usually because I am not patient with people, people meaning my family.  Or the person doing 50 in a 60 zone, not that I am in a hurry, but HELLO it’s 60 and not Sunday (the old Sunday drivers call right there <——).  Can be worse for my hubby when I get a little snappy because things are not going the way I plan them to and he even usually says, Kellie be a little more patient…. YEAH like that will happen.  But with school holidays started, it’s something I really want to try and work on, even if I did ask Kira 5 times to pick up her shoes of the lounge room floor and I’m ready to open the front door and throw them straight over the balcony……  Have I mentioned I have red hair, haha, my excuse for everything.

WISHING :- [EDITED :- to I now wish there was even a SEASON 4.  I truly though season 4 was the last season and now I am bummed to find out there wont be a season 4, NO tell me it just isn't so] That I had of ordered season 4 when I ordered season 3 of United States of Tara.  I know a random thing to wish, but considering hubby just walked in and I only just said it to him.  It’s now number 1 on my list.  That my mojo comes back, but I honestly think it’s this cold weather we are having?  I just want to get in bed snuggle up with a DVD.

I do this post off and on when I see it over at Danielle’s blog – Sometimes Sweet.  I always want to do them but it’s the sitting and typing and what not and because I felt the urge to blog for some really unknown reason but to blog what and then decided to catch up on a few blog reads.  The rest just wrote itself. xx

I have done this before, but when I was reading Danielle’s last night, I thought that I really wanted to do it again, I not only find them fun but I always enjoy reading Danielle’s from Sometimes Sweet and so here is mine…..

025(Someone is getting a wee bit big to be picked up all the time now)

Reading : I was reading like there was no tomorrow about 2 weeks back, but once again having a little break to catch up on other things.  Basically I read a lot when I have no tv seasons on DVD and lately with The Walking Dead and then Sons of Anarchy, I haven’t really picked up my kindle.  But I am in love and up to book 5 of the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost, which makes me up to the book called “This Side of the Grave”.  These have a bit of everything, a bit of supernatural that I love and a hint of erotic/love story.  There have been a few dull moments in some of the books but never for long.

Watching : I just as of yesterday finished watching season one of Sons of Anarchy and loved it!  I had hired it a few weeks back watched two episodes but then my cousin (favourite at the moment and he knows it, haha) came and dropped off season 2 of The Walking Dead and so Sons of Anarchy I took back having only seen two episodes, I learnt from the first episode that you really had to sit and watch and not miss a thing.  After seeing The Walking Dead, I decided to give it another try and LOVED it.

Working on : Getting organised for the weekend.  I mean we have nothing planned as yet.  But I always like to tidy up that little more as I don’t overly like spending my weekends cleaning like I do most days, and I say most.  I do have to get through mount washmore in the laundry today, I have been putting it off all week, I never really caught up after doing all that book work for hubby.  Once I get behind in something I find it hard to get the get up and go to get back ontop of it.  I do plan on getting a few Design Team things done over the weekend.  I am also working on a bunch of ideas for my little store Freckles & Pigtails.

Thinking About : Seriously my brain never stops, although not all thoughts are worth repeating haha.  Now I am thinking, what was I thinking about?  I am thinking of where I want this blog to go as I am making some changes in my life, it’s a little scary diving into the unknown, but exciting at the same time.  Thinking I most likely shouldn’t had just given Pippa a packet of these flavoured noodles that the girls take to school, considering I gave her weetbix this morning, but she always loves them I couldn’t help it, I could melt in her eyes.  Thinking more and more that the tattoo I have in mind to get done as a present to myself for turning 30 is becoming more and more suiting.

Anticipating : I know that  Danielle who I am doing this from, mentioned this and while I am not 30 till August, I am still anticipating it in the way of working my way down my 30 before 30 list.  And I always have it in my head that when you turn 30 you are now technically an adult, I see 20′s a bit like being 12, for 10 years, your a “pre-adult”.  While I am not overly stressed if I don’t get all my 30 before 30 done, as they were just a bit of fun and I totally FAILED on the house plant thing.  I bought one named him Bob (as you do) and he died within 3 months, so come on that is close right?  I have been and changed it every now and then and my reason for this is when I wrote it I was into or doing things differently than I am now and so I added or changed little things to what I am more into at the time.  When I look at it, I am not doing too bad and most of them are do-able.

Listening To : My itunes and as of right this moment I am listening to Gossling – Wild Love, if you have not heard it you really need to look it up, I heard a little the other day and just had to download it right away.

Eating : At this moment nothing but am thinking I might heat up a hot cross bun and claim it morning tea?

Wishing : That I had a magic wand or I just twitched my nose and things cleaned themselves, I mean my house would be sparkling all in a twitch of the nose.
