scorched dry and nuts

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys!
Lets keep it real........ and quick confession one day last week i had a quarter pounder n chips & a cheeseburger for lunch, a big mac and chips for dinner. shocker! definitely a black day for my waist line! and i more bad takeaway thru the week.
Just have to make sure we eat the food thats already here before scoffing down takeaway.
This pregnancy has made a huge difference on my tummy, now that i cant suck it in and the organs have moved out and yeah now i am noticing just how big i really am.Are all these 40deg days highly weird/unusual for victoria? In nsw we would usually get 40deg days end of jan/feb.
Getting ready for another scorcher for today and tomorrow. Did wonder about going to the beach, but the reality is theres no shade out there, and any shade would be to far away from where Tia would be in the water. i guess our beach is better than in NSW as we have no surf at all! weird.. and at least thats a bit safer for tia. Think we will be staying home, cold showers and standing in wet clothes in front of the super-duper fan to cool down and i will run the bath and let tia play in it all day to keep her cool.
Britney spears has been on my mind alot(perhaps due to constantly being on tmz.com or ET why do i read and watch such crap?). (shes never been a favourite celeb, singer, dresser of mine) I feel for her that shes lost her kids now. I dont support parents who abuse alcohol and drugs tho. Its a real shame that its gotten this bad.
Id never ever swap places with her. Surely it would take just a little bit of effort to clean up her act?
The countless photohogs that follow her every move is insane, and how many years has that gone on for? But the fact that she keeps going out for drives thru the night, is she trying to be normal? is she trying to have photohogs take pictures of her filling up her car with gas so theres a 'normal' picture in the magazine? Or is she really nuts, enjoying the crazy vibe, crazy driving and crowds of photohogs? Is she just waiting for a princess Di accident? I do wish there was some sort of help she could get without being further exploited and sold out.

Re your comments:

I'm glad you didn't get one of those air cooler things.. I feel guilty that I didn't have the courage to say last post that I hated ours and found them ineffective. It was hubby's idea..and I felt the stupid thing failed us and I just wanted a proper air conditioner~maria

No need to feel guilty. :D my mum got one ages ago i guess i could have asked what she thought of them as i never saw it actually being used! It had been weighing on my mind also.

Glad your experience with the new doctor was better for you. I never look when blood is being taken either.. So is it crazy-pregnant-woman syndrome that made you look? Hehehe... :-P~maria

Im not afraid of needles and i thought he was crazy in that i couldnt see any veins, i suppose i was watching to see if he knew what he was doing. As i dont enjoy the prick of pain and didnt want more!

Different strokes for different folks though.~jadey

Totally agree with your jadey. i'd love to have a doctor who i'd seen all my life! ;) what a blessing

grr.

well, yesterday was a waste of a day. I had planned to clean up in the morning and have lunch then wait for the plumber to come at 1.30pm and then go out do some shopping for dinner and DH lunch then come home and walk down the road to the laundrymat and do a load of washing. That was the plan.. and i thought i'd be able to get away with it.

But happened was i was still waiting for the plumber to arrive at 4pm! I got a stroke of genius (after maria called) They had called me on my mobile to arrange this time and i just had to look up the number from my recieved calls list (pray it wasnt a private line as the number doesn't show) and so i did that called up and politely asked if i had the day & time correct as the plumber hadn't arrived... the lady was very nice and i kept getting put back on hold and off as she talked to someone (obviously talking to the plumber on a diff phone) i had, had enough waiting around i was happy to change it to another day.. but she insisted that the plumber was still in the area and he would be 30-45mins away.. oh joy.. the plumber came around 5pm and left around 6pm (it was a easy job of putting new washers on the bathroom taps and changing something in the toilet so it would stop running, jobs i could do myself i could be bothered to learn how)
meanwhile DH came home and figured why i was in a foul mood. Then came the art called 'dinner'.. truly dinner is a art form.. getting it done, getting it right.. bleh! sausages on bread was the plan.. only i had no bread, walked to the corner shop and they had no bread?!!! argh! so i got flour.. thinking i can make bread.. or something.. but to make bread would take a few hours.. i didnt have that time.. so then i thought.. i can cook the sausages for dinner tomorrow and have the nachos for dinner tonight! yay! i am saved! thank you brain! That will teach me for not planning the meals.. i really need to get back into the habbit of doing that!

So today has been busy.. Been out shopping, had lunch, found presents then remembered ive got milk and meat and how long have i been walking around? had better get back home and put them in the fridge!

Got home, and im pretty sure i got the wrong size underpants for Tia, perhaps she will fit into them in 1-2yrs time.. or maybe they just look big? I wrote a letter to my former emplyers/doctors/workmates from the doctors saying we had moved to melb, DH was working doing something he loves, getting paid heaps (rub it in their noses, since they didnt believe it would EVER happen) all very polite.. and then it got to the bit of what i am or have been doing in my life.. and like usual i was uhh... oh crap! 'still a stay at home mum, pretty busy not sure what to do next' is what i wrote! I have been thinking of studying but my <3 isn't in it yet.. (i had to send a request for our medical records to be sent to our new doctor, so i thought i'd write a letter and not be complete snob) Thats done and mailed..

Also had to grab some cordial and bread from the corner shop as i had forgotten to get them at the shop. Did a load of laundry down the road.. thought about going to the arcade (for DDR) but by the time i had hung up everything and changed it was 4.30pm, bit too late..

Im trying a new daily moisturizer.. i couldnt go past it for $11, i couldnt resist the save $11! when the garnier ones were $11 save $4! so i think its working, considering the past week i've been up til midnight-2am and the rings under my eyes are looking better. HA! i've just been really into my book or video games lately!

Bleh! today i had kfc (which made me feel quite ill! half the reason i decided to go home from shopping without everything i needed) and now hubby wants to take me out to dinner, nothing to fancy apparently.. he said 'maccas is ok if u like', i dont consider having dinner at maccas a date! but it shall do.. and its across the road from DDR and hopefully thats still open! *cross fingers* YAY!!! So today foodwise is a huge blow-out.. i had better behave the next 2 days so i can eat tons of chocolate without feeling guilty doing so on friday in the city!

so thats what i've been up to, hope ur all taking care of yourselves.

@Tina. i think i remember u freeze milk, i was wondering if the milk expands heaps that u might have to empty some of it? or can u just put it straight into the freezer with the lid on and everything?

@maria. got the 3 frames working.. altho they lost their colours.. think i can retrieve ur widgets..
