#3 :) in process
Yep, #3 on my 101 list is to learn guitar again, i LOVE playing music, i had both keyboard and guitar lessons when i was younger, also did a bit of the drums, and the usual primary school ukelele and recorder (lol). but the guitar and keyboard are definitely my faves. my "tutor" is my BIL, he was rapt when i asked him to teach me, and refuses any kind of payment for it, so im very lucky that he is happy to take time out of his already very busy schedule to teach me.
We had our first lesson on Saturday night, just a short one, but ive been strumming along happily all day, trying to remember what i used to know, and learn what i have been taught, because i know if i dont, he will open up a big can of "whoop ass" on me! very strict! But starting next week, every monday night, will be for me, learning to play again (no more Maori styles! lol)
Then on Saturday night we all (myself, Darryl, his Sis and BIL) watched Borat on DVD, now if you know me (and my personalised plates!) you will know im the HUGEST Ali G fan, and Borat was NO disapointment to me, i LOVED IT!!! i havent laughed so much in ages and just adored the fact that i could lose myself in the movie, didnt have to THINK during the movie (its a bit like that!) and could just relax and blob for a bit, it was fabbo!
Sunday i picked up my SIL and we took off to the shops for a few hours with just the 2 babies (my neice is 5 weeks younger than Olivia) it was great not having to chase the 3 older ones around the shops, it was just so easy going shopping! so (LOL) we have plans to do it again on Saturday... because... well... there are just things we need, ok? lol (our excuse to the boys!)
i kept Kaylee home from kindy today, thinking that her cough shouldnt be shared around kindy... omggggg its been a hard day! i ended up putting her to bed and locking her in her bedroom (she doesnt have day sleeps much anymore) and i was SO lucky that she went to sleep, however Olivia hasnt slept sweet FA today, so its been a challenging one!
I have macaroni and Cheese in the crockpot at the moment, for dinner, omg, yum, it smells devine!!!!! just thought id share :)
Im busy looking at Tattoos, i have seen one that i LOVE, however its extremely similar (so i found out after i drew it up - it was online and i had to pay for the full photo, so i printed the mini one and scanned and enlarged it, naughty aye!) to one that a good friend of mine wants, so i dont think i will go there, and i will find something else, draw it up to size, and paste it on the back of my toilet door for a month where i will have no choice but to look at it often! haha, then if i still like it, then im getting it dammit!!! :)

I know I've told you before but I'm so proud of you taking up the guitar again, and doing something for yourself! It's very easy to forget who you are with little kids around. And how nice that he is doing it for free! :-)
Great idea about the tattoo on your toilet door, I never would have thought of that, hehe.
Oh and ... lol. For no particular reason :-) Lets have coffee soon - or you could come here and we can watch Borat again, hehe.
Can I come over and watch too? Would be great to meet you guys one day :)
I just noticed that number 64 (I think!) on your list is to go right to the bottom of the South Island - so when are you calling in for coffee?? :-)
about your plans to get a tattoo - you're right, f*ck everyone else. If you want one, you get one and get whatever you want, where ever you want it.
I've always been a bit of a "goody-goody" but really wanted one. I got one that really meant something to me - and I am so glad I did it. I often look down and think, "I love my tat - it looks cool".
Also, people can surprise you. My 87 year old Nanna told me that she thinks my tattoo (of the Roman goddess Victoria - winged victory) is "pretty"! (and I had been afraid to show her!).
Go for it!!
ps - where are you getting it? (or is that private ;) )
MY OCTOPUS SMELLS YUMMY!!!
And no, this is not a spam message, haha.
