I'm getting bored, no not getting bored I am bored.
*squeal* *squeal* *squeal* *squeals knowingly at Cat*
So, I didn't have to look after the kids today, because none came! Yays!! And I didn't have to look after Zachy either. I'd make him cry anyway. ;)
So we had a women's night/jewellery making thing tonight. Learnt how to make jewellery, made some 'eclectic' earrings for Michelle G and an anklet for myself. I may consider taking it up over the holidays if I'm extremely bored and not trying to catch up on this and last year's reading. I stil haven't read the new Christian Jacq book, let alone Terry Pratchett. But I'm hoping to read and finish LWW before it comes out in the cinemas. Oh yes, and I made salmon and cream cheese and dill, traditional cucumber and ham and wholegrain mustard on white sandwiches. And carrot cake.
I won a free photo shoot at Portrait Palace in Liverpool. They called me today so I made an appointment in the afternoon. Darnit, you girls, where are you when a free photo shoot comes up? Oh I know, overseas and interstate and not responding. Well, I have to try and drag my brother into it, I don't know for mum and dad's anniversary, it is their 30th coming up. So it'd only take 10 minutes but all the dressing up and makeup is done ourselves. *sigh* I'd look like an idiot bringing Aragorn wouldn't I? Wouldn't I?? Oh yea, that reminds me, I have to set Aragorn up and drape him in tinsel for Christmas ;) If only I had a lifesize cardboard cutout of Dracula... that wakes up in the middle of the night... wearing a cape... ... ...
*cough*
So, portrait on Saturday, self makeup and dress and bright colours. Great.
I've still gotta write my letter into the Admissions officer. *sigh* I'm really not liking this Honours thing. I'm half regretting declining Liverpool now, but then again, I haven't spent anymore than 2 minutes thinking about it the entire time so maybe I haven't thought it through quite well.
Anyways, I gotta email yabs members about our Christmas BBQ to organise catering and such. Should I make a pudding? I think I'm outta raisins... I think, I've still got sultanas, currants, dried figs, dried apricots, cognac, (I think I'll add cointreau to this one). So I'd need to get suet, lemon, ale and white bread (which I don't eat), you see that's the easy thing, when dad's here, he'll eat the white bread and my brother and I will eat the multigrain and wholemeal. There's something wrong there considering we're not the ones on simvastatin (Zocor).
I spent yesterday making empanada pastry. Basically puff pastry. I have 59 empanada pastry circles waiting for me in the freezer, waiting to be made into spinach, capsicum and chorizo, or perhaps chicken and eggplant for something easier. Oh yes and I've got puff pastry at home so I might make some Cornish pasties... ooooh... I want a Cornish pasty, Leach you better have at least 5 Cornish pasties for me while you're over there. ;)
Okies, gonna go now, oh yes and I'm not gonna be putting up anymore songs til at least Angi gets back from Vanuatu. I have to wrack my brain trying to think of one.

Ahhh yes, my bro and I on Saturday. Otherwise if he won't I'd have to go myself. But it's more likely to be my bro and I. Now I have to sort out what to wear.
