Today is just an average day- 31/03

I have had the most painful tooth today.
I could nearly say excruciating - though that would be a little OTT.
I've had Advil but it wears off after 4 hours so I have to just bust through it.
I went to the dentist on Monday who gave me my first scale and clean and I think that's just stirred everything up a little.
Oh, and I made an appt for July to get my 2 wisdoms ripped out of my head.
Lovely!
Though I think this stuff would really help me......

Back in the Olden Days - 30/03

 

Oh my! Look what I found today. My passport, and along with it, my passport photo. Does anyone else think I look like I've had botox? Look at those apples in the cheeks, and the lips! Phew, eat your heart Angelina.
As we went through various customs I did get a few sniggers about my photo. In South America the customs officer even called another officer over to look at it, and they both giggled. The cheek of them!

Cook Books aren't a guilty pleasure.....They're a neccesity 29/03

I LOVE baking. Well, I love cooking but if I have any spare time I bake. Even if we have no clean clothes, a dirty bathroom and an unswept floor, we always have some kind of delicious baked good in the cupboard.
Then today as I was getting dressed I caught sight of the elusive 'Muffin Top'.
Oh god, all those brownies and cakes and biscuits and pikelets have finally landed on my hips and taken over.
Kevina told me on average a woman puts on 10kg in her first year of marriage. Well I'm on my way Kev!
But then I went to the cupboard and ate 2 delicious, moist chocolaty-chocolate brownies and gave up caring......Oooohhhh food is delightful.

Whats new Pussycat - 28/03

How cool is this? It's an exchange library. People line up to swap book s they've already read, and choose a new book to read. What a novel and fun idea. I have discovered www.stumbleupon.com and I'm in trouble....Because of it I've already baked the most DELICIOUS brownies (1 cup of butter, 1 cup of sugar....you get the idea) and I'm alrady addicted.
Go check it out. Now.....

Figgy in the Middle - 26/03

 

Yesterday P and I went to our very new friends, Rachel & Aila's house. We had a gorgeous, gorgeous morning tea outside with tea cups and teapots and pikelets. Yum!
Then we went wandering in down the back for a jump on the old school trampoline and spied the fig tree. P had her first fig and fell instantly in love. More figs More figs!
This afternoon we had to go to the shops and buy some. We purchased half a dozen local spray free, sweet smelling figs and promptly sat ourselves on the seat outside the shop and ate 2 figs each. The perfume was so sweet. We climbed into the car and shared one more on the drive home. Now we have one lonely fig left. And i have some vanilla icecream in the freezer.....Fresh figs, vanilla icecream, a warm doona, my funny book. Goodnight everybody!

Lemon Cake - 22/03

 

After a big morning of haircuts and swimming, Miss P and I came home and baked a yummy lemon cake. She was keen for her afternoon nap because I told her when she wakes up she can have some. She's driven by food.....
