Forgive me bloggers, for I have erred.
It has been 5 days since my last blog entry...I'm not dead (that smell is just a vicious rumour) ...and I'm not drowned...our computer is slow, but working much the same as usual...ummmmmm...sorry. What's been happening in the world of the Blogmuggle? Lets start with Friday...
Hmmmm...it was raining and I worked all day.
Vegeboy had a mini-fete at school, so I supplied 11 large bottles of fizzy drink to make spiders with, and blankets to make a maze around the desks for the small people to crawl through. And gave Vegeboy $10 of my hard-earned cash to spend at the fete. I don't know what he did with it....Dinner on Friday night was family barbeque at Beloved's nephew's house in Muswellbrook. His sister and her husband had arrived from their debut motorcycle-trek from Canberra that afternoon, after being very unceremoniously rained on over the past few days, and breaking down twice.....His brother and partner were there too, as well as his brother's mother-in-law, who is on holidays from Lismore. I had bought a bottle of Pink champagne to christen Dan and Twistie's (Yep, I've got one too; she's also a cracker!) house, but never even had the chance to open it as the kids were at a band gig at the PCYC, and had to be picked up by moi at 10pm. It was freezing, and the lovely size 8 Twistie found me a jacket to wrap around my very voluptous and ample shoulders...
Saturday....still wet...mmmmm
Both the big kids were hard at work, and I decided to clean up the feral hole we call home. Washed and utilised the non-solar drying apparatus so that there was enough clothes to wear to work/school on Monday, as we were off to Newcastle to see...DAVE HUGHES perform at the Civic Theatre...a very funny man!! His 7.30 performance was a sell-out; we had seats in the middle, in the second row; a very safe place to be, as we were in the middle of the action, but out of the firing line. He was finished by 9.30, so we had a quick visit with some old friends at Jesmond before heading back to my brother's house to crash for the night.
Sunday..a moderate amount of precipitation....
The boys headed down to the Hawkesbury for some motorbiking fun. My sister in law headed off to church, taking my 3yr old Rogue nephew with her, so gorgeous Girl and I headed off to Garden city with the 8 and 6yr old nieces in tow, for some serious girl time. And we had fun. I went to see my lovely friend, Maxine, at 'Just Cuts', and she gave a me the best haircut that I've had in ages, for the grand sum of $22. Amazingly, in the 17 or so years that we've been friends, this is the first time that Max has cut my hair. And now, I'll just have to go back for a trim.....again, and again... We had icecreams from the 'Cold Rock Icecreamery'; 2 kid's cones and two ordinary cones for almost $19..hmm...that's almost next month's haircut...
I bought Beloved a lovely shirt from 'Colorado', to wear to Gorgeous Girl's Yr 12 dinner; it's his 1st 'good' shirt in 6 years...No suit's and ties for us....I'd given up on the search for a tent to contain the circus that has become my body, and decided that Black pants, that I found in Kmart, and a nice black (?) top might be the best outfit fot me to wear...at least I could wear it again.
I met sister in law and Rogue at my mum's, and after lunch, decided to go to 'Millers' at Belmont to see if I could buy a top on sale. Well, 'Millers' was closed, but GoLo wasn't...it is much better than the one in Muswellbrook. I'm sorry; sometimes, bigger is better. Eventually, we went back to mum's. My uncle (and the lovely Laihnabeth's) arrived, and much discussion ensued about where gorgeous girl can reside when she moves to Newie next year. It has been decided that we will renovate a shed for her to live in, but, the renovation will be a doddle compared with the clean up before hand. This will be blog-worthy on it's own. Domino's Pizza for tea, then back to Elermore Vale to meet Beloved and the boys and then back home to Denman. Rather late, actually.....
Monday...light showers, resulting in the cancellation of the Horse racing in Muswellbrook (absolutly tragic for some).....
Into the Brook to buy groceries (bah humbug), check out the cosmetics warehouse sale, and book GG's driving test with RTA. She's ready to go on Nov 24 at 11am; I had to pay up front; they don't miss you, do they?
Then the important part of the day; Black Top Shopping. Nothing in 'Millers', so into "Seven Sins" I go..very sort of hip in a hippy sort of way, and a bit unusual for me..GG loves it in there. Bingo!.. a simple black number that GG will probably steal after I've worn it once. You may be now wondering why a mature woman such as myself would wear something that her almost 18yr old would wear....and the answer is ...because I liked it!! It has a camisole style with a net over lay that has a little skirt sort of arrangement that falls over the hips..It sounds a little disgusting, and confused, but believe me, this folds and hides in all the right places....
Home to unpack the groceries, cook tea, then off for an evening shift at work.....only time to read blogs when I got home... Jen and Jacqui's moon was beautiful though, wasn't she?......
Tuesday..no rain..but the Muswellbrook Cup Carnival was cancelled..Ha ha, hoho, says me....
Off to work as usual. It's my unfortunate job to organise Melbourne Cup Day festivities for our residents, which is really hard for me..because I really don't care about horse racing in the slightest. Nevermind; hats (made in previous years), decorations, streamers, and afternoon tea before the race sufficed....We are a small hospital, with 11 permanent residents, 1 wardsman and about 20 nursing staff andabout 8 hotel staff; there were 7 sweeps ran today!!!!! Obviously, others are more passionate about racing than me.....
Anyway, Marys and bloggers, I'm off to bed; thank you for missing me; you sure know how to make a girl feel loved!!
Love to you all,
Bloggie xoxo ;) <3 <3 <3

my goodness youve been a busy girl- so much to do - totally dispelling the rumour that all Marys have no life - glad to see one of us proving them wrong- glad Dave hughes was a success & everyone needs a Twisty. Lisa still goes to church ? mmm interesting........
Woo Hoo! So glad you're back sweety! Don't scare us like that again, ok?!
:)
The whole family are avid church goers..Lisa was running kids' church last Sunday morning..they are very committed christians. Her Dad and Mum moved over to Mudgee earlier this year, where her dad took over the pastoring ( or pastorship, I don't know these things..) of a church there. They travel overseas missioning every year, and both Glen and Lisa would like to go as well, but I guess that it's "not in God's plan", as they never seem to get there. In a former life, ie when she was younger, Lisa's dad was an alcoholic insurance salesman...they wanted to have a dry wedding in deference to the recovering alcolholic; My Dad said "no #*##* way".....hmmm...I reckon he still is a salesman....something about him...
I am glad you are back too : )
Yaaaay. Undrowned........you do too much stuff....gives me a headache....
