Cookies & vintage Christmas decorations

James and I made gingerbread men (stars, pigs, candy canes, xmas trees & ducks) today.

The kids decorated them. Clean up was the best. Not.
4 sleeps till Christmas. Only 2 days of work to go, then TWO days off. Yep.
Will and I are both working too much at the moment. So I cannot wait till we have a good break!

I call this Amelia's pirate smile

 

 

My Pat Nana (yes she is mine and yes it is Pat Nana....not Nana Pat. Anyway..)

She called me a few weeks ago. After leaving a voice message thinking she was actually talking to me I called her back. She asked me if I wanted her old decorations. Of course I said yes, not only are they gorgeous and old and hold so many memories, I can never have too many decorations. Especially of the Christmas kind!

Mum got the box first and went through it like a snake but I am so happy with what we got. There are too cute. When I say vintage too I actually mean vintage. I don't mean "vintage"brought at Target.

Yes feel free to be jealous!

 

 

Finally

Finally they fixed blogger for iPhone.
My phone is still smashed though. Christmas is nearly done.
Be prepared for mobile photos now. Yep. Get excited!

Nearly Christmas

Are you organized? I'm semi organized. I only have 3 presents to go. Still waiting on some online orders to arrive and I have heaps to wrap. I have more wrapping than shopping. Ha!
I also have a cold. My hair also looks like I've been electrocuted. It's just one big mass of blonde hair with rediculous regrowth. Rediculous? Is that right? Did I spell it right?
I think I should bake xmassy things on the weekend. Get the kids even more excited. I really want to buy some more lights but I can't seem to find battery ones.
Anyway got to get James ready for his last day of school......tear

Optus + iPhone = shit

So my phone is smashed. Front & back. Yes it was my fault but why make a phone in this material? Or did they do it on purpose?!!
So I call Optus because I have no idea when my contract is up and I kind of need a new phone now & I refuse to pay to fix it.
My contract expires on the 3/3/2013. Though if I want to upgrade now it will cost me 300 something. If I wait a few weeks it will cost me nothing. So I can't see how they cannot waive that fee? They already get enough off me because I am paying so much to have this shitty phone anyway.
So I ask the lady how much will it cost to terminate my contract. This is after she tries to cross sell me a different Internet contract....
She transfers me to a different department. Which is not open yet. Go figure.
Basically I cannot wait to get rid of this phone. The home button stopped working ages ago, my photos don't load on the computer and apple is rediculous for storing songs. Their ads use to be cool.

I will really enjoy getting a Samsung Galaxy. Half a mind to leave Optus as well because of their stupid procedure.
I write this with glass in my fingers.

Owl, pussy cat, Bruce & a stupid prime minister

Number 1. Bruce Springsteen is coming. Yep march 2013 and we will be there. Melbourne none the less. Oh yay!! Seriously yayyyyyy!!
Number 2. Our prime minister is trying to win the young with going on triple j and announcing that the world will be ending.
I am actually embarrassed she is our prime minister.
Number 3. I would be talking about the owl and the pussy cat and sharing a photo of Amelia with purple nail polish but blogger is being silly still and not letting photos upload. Fix this blogger please!!

oh. my. gosh

It is nearly Christmas.
Three weeks to go. I have ZERO presents. Am I freaking out? Why yes I am.

My crazy crazy Xmas obsessed children

Good times!!
