considering a move of blog

thinking of moving my blog (which shouldnt create problems for too many lovely people) im leaving the past behind me. yes my past is part of me and forever will.. and im proud of all that lovely history of ranting and raving with some sharing >< seeing as im mostly a people pleaser and im going to be sharing this blog with more people than usual and i cant quite remember (lol) if ive said anything negative or something.. ah well.. better than to be safe than sorry... (ah now you are all searching thru to see if ive actually written anything juicy other than my personality conflicts with some long distance relatives or somethin'.. ) ive been doing alot of thinking, alot of reading and more thinking (pretty much going around and around in circles as i do) my gawd i read one article on how to make ur blog better and it suggested writing reviews.. so everytime i pick something out of the cupboard or play something or use something im thinking should i write a review? lol.. i think im driving myself nuts.. would anyone care to read a review on fairy sprinkles? or bi-lo milk powder.. lolz.. exercise is something very much on the backburner.. yes i am limiting myself to this melbourne cage (a apartment with no back yard, gym,pool, personal trainer.. what was that you said? wishful thinking? ah, true!) and we are stuck here til: 1) pay enough off the credit card to get right back into debt again with paying bond and however many weeks in advance it is now to actually get a real estate agent to look at our applications. 2) wait for a good enough reason to leave without fulfilling the lease. or wait til lease is over in 08. 3) i find a place that i like, in a good area.. thats close to jhubbys work.. wishful thinking? ah yes true again! 4) after waiting to pay enough of our cc to afford a dell box (as hubbys and my stuff calls for a computer with actual grunt and processing power.. stuff that my lil laptop just cant handle without frying its brains out) then we still have to pay to get the rest of our stuff at my mums.. and then it will be my birthday, hubbys birthday and then oh crap its christmas already? and whats this you want to go to sydney? ah i must be kidding myself! 2007 the year of debt dragging on forever!! NEW BLOG right here.. wanna check it out.. ?? ---------------- Listening to: soramimicakeRT via FoxyTunes

Great Joke ~ tech knowledge needed ~ How was i born?

One day, a boy, rose in a computer-professional Info. Tech. family, asks his Dad, "Daddy, how was I born?" His Dad thinks for a while, sighs and replies, "Ah, my son, I guess one day you would have to find out anyway! " "Well, you see, your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on MSN. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We entered into a secure folder, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, but it was too late to hit the Delete button. Six weeks later, your Mom sent me an instant message saying that her operating system was showing signs of unauthorized program activity from a self extracting file which had implanted itself in her operating system. Then, nine months later, a little Pop-Up appeared! ---------------- Listening to: soramimicakeRT via FoxyTunes

Big Brain Academy~Nintendo DS

Review: Games that make people think are quite popular lately! The ultimate function is the test, which randomly choses 1 mini game from each class; think, analyze, compute,memorize & identify and then comes up with how much your brain weighs, a grade and what occupation your brain suits. Right now mine is a C+ a musician at 1032g! (i've been dumber e.g a fashion designer, Shakespeare! lolz) Each class/lesson comes in 3 difficulty options, easy,med and hard. Medals are rewarded for different scores bronze, silver, gold and platinum. I find this game quite a challenge and i suck at the maths compute and think classes, but i can ace the memorize and identify. im pretty sure, if u look in the blue hexagon, you can see a yellow line? thats my highest score outline and the red area in the hexagon was my current score for that exam >< ---------------- Listening to: The Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore via FoxyTunes

an update is on the way

my weight is not the centre of my life.. and ive been avoiding my weight loss buddies (so sorry) and i have been avoiding my problems and feeling alot of shame etc... up til now/recently my goal of this blog was to connect and to express my weight loss journey and along the way snippets of my life and ramblings. i used to think weight was my only problem.. or perhaps i blew it up so big that it was the only problem i could see.. and altho there are many layers that make up that problem all i could see was the top layer.. the physical layer.. ME and my BIG butt! LOL! So my goal now is to be un-ashamed of me.. of my interests etc.. to open up and share all about the many layers that make me.. ME! ^^ many apologies to my friends, ive been lurking too much.. u guys deserve so much better! so an update is on the way.. r u ready for it? lol

Tia turned 4!

Tia turned 4 on the 11th! wow! time has gone so quickly. we only recently got a new camera a sony cybershot 7.2MG pixel. so not great and not expensive (thank goodness) so 99% of the pictures of Tias birthday are blurry! and then after re-lighting the candles to get a good shot she was soo good she would blow them out b4 i took a picture! doh! and so i have alot to learn about all the different settings and i luv taking videos now! whoot! But then james isnt happy sharing alot of the videos of Tia for the whole public.. so might have to put them up, tell family n friends and then change them every so often. I put some on you-tube and then tried out photobucket and wow did that take forever to upload compared to youtube! Does anyone know of some good freeware video editing software? Or a good freeware software for photos/images as my GIMP program seems to be having issues. lol So we had a little birthday party for tia, with just the 3 of us. She was pretty good having to wait all day for her dad to come home to start the party! And somehow even tho i tried, we ended up with more food than we needed! Tia had a great time doing the special arrowroot biscuits, especially when my mum rang and she got to do it all herself! Tia has a thing for marshmellows at the moment, its like the new 'chocolate' for her, which i guess isnt too bad considering its sugar and not fat.. she still loves eating her baby fuji? apples, they are so tiny! I also gave her a haircut as her ends were getting very knotty alot, and i think it was the worst one yet! she just wouldnt keep still and when James got home i got him to hold her head still! Just to fix it up a bit better! lol! Tia got for her birthday; the pretty dress she is wearing, hair bands, a musical jewellery box, hello kitty raincoat, 2 skivies, tracksuit pants, eyeshadow, play doh, princess easter egg n bowl set.

day by day...

thanks Maria for ur words! so true! :D hmm, well im still eating crap, i restart my good eating habbits every meal! LOL! but thats better than my previous well i stuffed breakkie, lunch and have snacked waay to much i may as well eat crap for dinner too.. im giving it all my best to completely give up take out (except healthy subway or deli choices) altho im thinking of having once a month chips n burger so i dont go completely crazy (that and my head is against extremes) i heard somewhere that it takes 24hrs a week working out to burn off 1kg of total fat.. but now i cant remember where that was.. ive been very home sick this week! (which hasnt helped my bad eating) But im slowly getting myself back on track, working out how many ww points and what workout dvd i want, shopping around checking out weights... so im slowly getting my butt into gear! its starting to get cold here! Im looking forward to some yummy healthy soups!! ^^ i just have to get a nice soup pot!
