Sunday rant

I have noticed something lately. People are becoming ruder. It seems people think they can ask you anything now.
I always remember being pregnant with Amelia and a older lady actually asking me if she was a accident. No she wasn't and it does not even matter if she was but why would she even think it was ok to ask that?
We have a situation in our life that is really exciting and huge and we have only told a few people. Yet people still ask us questions that you should not even ask.
I actually told one person it was rude to ask this certain question and he replied "I can go find it on the internet anyway!"!
Where have people's manners gone? No one is polite. Yes I admit I am a bit rude and sometimes ask questions I shouldn't but this is in a one on one conversation with someone!!
I would never ask someone how much they earn or how big their mortgage is!!! Or if your baby was a accident. My god!
Maybe it's the industry I work in that makes me like this? Or maybe I just think people should mind their own business?
(Don't even get me started on not replying to messages!)
Either way please bring back manners people. Thank you

Fickle little me

So I deactivated my Facebook account months ago. It was boring and I was getting negative towards people because there was so much whinging.
I thought I was missing out though. What happens if something amazing gets announced on it and I miss out? So I re-activated my account and it turns out I'm missing out on nothing. Nothing at all. A few cute pictures of babies and thats it. So I turned it off AGAIN! Ha!
Facebook does not inspire me. It's just another platform for people to voice opinions. A bit like this blog. Right?
In happier news the new Gaslight Anthem album comes out today!! Yay!!

Too soon?

I only just emailed a friend a last night telling her how well Amelia was now sleeping.
Should not have done it.
4 hours sleep. Yep one of those nights that make me wish for a lovely sleep in but of course it will never happen.
And to make it even more dramatic.....I HAVE RAN OUT OF COFFEE!!

pancakes & pox

Rut rut rut rut

I don't know if it's a rut. I think it might be the urge for a serious change. Everything is just annoying me at the moment. Certain people, certain family members, teenagers. People's comments. Stupidity.
I'm just a little over it. I would really like to move away so we can just wipe all the idiots out of our life. It feels like everyone's bored or lazy or just rude?
Just a wee bit over it.
Not sure what to do because I know if I leave my life will still be full of dickheads.

One of those days

You know when you have so much to do in one day you actually have to write "shower" on your list?!
Yep it's one of those days.
Though the exciting thing is its all for the engagement party (minus food shopping & cleaning the house)!
Three sleeps to go!!
Very happy & excited! Only a little stressed....
Got news only yesterday that one of my "good friends" would not be coming. She had 6 weeks to contact me. Oh well. She will not be coming to the wedding!! I kid you not. It may seem harsh but it's one of those relationships when we see each other when it suits her. She has not even met Amelia yet. Enough icky talk. I'm just very disappointed!
Anyway I have to go and paint some records!
Oh yes!!

Erk

This I why I hate women's magazines! I don't even think cosmopolitan is a women's magazine. Amelia will not be reading magazines like this. Not because of the bad sex advice, bad clothes, bad music, bad make up. I can go on and on and on. You know what I'm not going to. I will just not buy it. I happened to read one while getting my hair done & they had results from a questionnaire answered by guys. Let's just say apparently brunettes are hotter. Guys like girls who don't exercise. And tattoos are not hot. Erm excuse me they fricken are!!

One of those weeks

You know when both kids are snotty. When Will has to work more than usual. When a bike falls down and breaks your toe. One of those weeks. It's only Wednesday!! Eeek!!

Meanie meanie

Today I was tired & people we're rude. You know when you struggle with your trolley & you've got kids hanging off you & you know people know you are struggling but they make you stop so they can push through? That was my morning. Not only was the power out since 8.30 last night but hair was frizzy & my dress too short. No coffee. Had a little boy refusing to wear jocks. This was my morning. Fun.
My last stop was at Coles. I don't shop at Coles. This is why.....
Rude people. Old people stare at me. I don't like their ads. Struggling along with the trolley across the road & some young men yell out of their car "hey sexy". Right.
Then rude encounter with old person that doesn't even apologize. I always apologize. Whatever.
Then the check out lady (look I work in customer service too & I off days too but I will always do my job) squashed my fricken tomatoes. She puts them in a bag with a million heavy things & then puts my biscuits in a separate bag. So I say where did you put my tomatoes because I knew where they were. Squashed at the bottom. Then she calls me a "rude bitch" under her breath. This woman is in her forties. I look at her & in a really happy sarcastic voice say "Wow really? That's so professional". I paid for my stuff & left. I should have complained.
I am not a bitch. Just don't squash my tomatoes.

The new lady in my life

Yesterday I finally got my birthday present!! My new tattoo! My forth & my biggest & I love her!!
I had to wait three (THREE) months to get it because of Xmas & my artist went to Brisbane to tattoo over there.
But three months is nothing because my awesome tattoo makes up for it!!

Of course though there is always one negative nancy that has to ruin it. My auntie was the star this time, asking if I thought about what it will look like in 20 years time....I ignored her because it was such a silly question.
Tattoos are permanent & you have to live with them. I know what my thighs will look like in 20 years time. They will be rainbow & dimply!
Ahh some people just make you wonder!!
Isn't she lovely? It was done by Ryan at Foothills. He has done 3 of my tattoos now!!

Ta ya

Stupid people

Am I getting more cynical or are people just getting more stupid?
This is a real question. I am really disliking everything & everyone. Seriously. Everyone is just erm, just so stupid.
Have all these people always been stupid or have I just realized it today? Is it the heat wave that is making everyone stupid? The hottest 100 countdown? The public holiday?
All I know for sure is its Australia Day & I encountered no racism so yay.
Still this issue of stupidity is still around. Maybe it will go away tomorrow. We can only hope so or I will be deleting my Facebook (again).

Letters

Dear users of Facebook,

I do not care what you are having for dinner.
I do not need to know where you are.
I do not think doing secret 'don't tell men' status quizzes are helping breast cancer awareness.
I don't care if your 'little angel' is asleep.
Please no lol or rofl - I don't even know what rofl means?!!
No kissy kissy faces please.
No boobs in my face & please please please guys keep your shirts on. Please.
Last but not least, do not befriend me if you don't know who I am. There is a reason I have under 100 friends.
I know it's addictive. I know it gives dickheads a voice. It also reunites & connects family & friends so little yay for that.
But I swear if you update your status professing your love to your adorable children.....I will delete you.

Yours sincerely,
Dani

Wedding marriage

I know I promised a catch up. Things I will need to write about include homemade Xmas, proposal & the realization that I'm too old & cool for music festivals BUT I am so confused at the moment.
Weddings.
Why do we have them?
Why do I want to spend so much money on one day?
I want to marry Will. Not spend $5 grand on food.
I don't want politics about groomsmen & bridesmaids.
Don't even get me started on bucks dos & hens nights. That deserves its own post!!
Guests list drama. People you kind of have to invite because you know you have to. Gay. It's all G A Y.
I just want to marry Will. I dont want to find a good photographer or a nice celebrant or find the perfect venue.
Someone please tell me why do we have to go through all this trouble? Even small weddings have these problems.
Then I think we should elope but people might get sad but then the wedding is for us. It's our wedding. Me becoming a Hammond.
It's our love & we've always being private. I'm not a show pony (hence having a small intimate wedding) but I think I don't even want that.
Why do we have weddings? To celebrate our love for one another in front of everyone else? Everyone already knows that we love each other.
Yes I agree it's exciting getting all beautiful & wearing lovely clothes. Walking down the aisle with my dad & I will probably cry when I see Will standing there. It will be awesome getting drunk with everyone I love. I can't even remember the last time my favorite ladies we're all in the same room together.
So yes. Confused. Too many questions. Is it just me being difficult? Probably.

ITS GETTING CLOSER

I have 24 hours to find bottles to bottle 7 litres of ginger beer. It just ain't going to happen.
I really thought I had enough.
In other news, Will finally joined up to my blog. What a champ.
And I'm a little stressed about Christmas. I made a doll for a friends girl & I think it's ugly. IT HAS NO NECK!! What do I do? I'm thinking of cutting it open so the poor thing has a head & a body not a headbody. Poor dolly.
Yay for drama!!

a broken heart

Bit peeved my 'friends' have not signed up to my blog. Whatever. It's cool. I'm not sad.
Yes I am. The bitches.
It takes two seconds to join & hello there is even the option to get it in email form.
It's ok I will survive. I will blog forth to my super awesome audience.
Other than my heart feeling like it's being crushed into a hearty bloody pulp of loneliness - there is so much lightning tonight. It's really pretty & calming though it is meant to be summer.
Ok my broken heart & I are off too bed. It's been a long day (week) (year).

Ho ho ho ho etc bla

Is everyone getting into the holiday spirit?
Sorry Christmas spirit!! I don't know if you have noticed all those stupid status updates on fb about holiday greetings & how 'someone' is trying to turn the Christmas season into holiday or something?
I just deleted the people who posted it. Pretty sure Christmas is not what it use to be.
Pretty sure Santa was made up by coca cola & his suit was green.
This is not the point of my post. The point is I delete people off fb if they annoy me.
No it's not that as well.
Are you ready for Christmas? I am making ginger beer from scratch & I don't think it will be ready. 14 liters of ginger beer!!! It's going to be awesome. I use to drink it all the time when I was pregnant with Amelia. I have never made it before but apparently my dad use to make it all the time.
So two weeks to go & I've nearly finished this home made crap I committed too. Got a bit sidetracked an made 4 owls.
Yep obsessed. Start making jam & relish this week. Gosh am I 27 or 87?
Now I am rambling.
Let the jam making begin! Hooray!!
Seasons greetings oh yeah x

I really should be exercising....

I should be. Both kids are asleep and I though my gosh I should make my bog look pretty and actually post something.

I have been reading so many interesting blogs at the moment I feel I don't need to speak to people in 'real' life.
Oh yeah there goes a hermit.
But I still speak to people ok - even though right now I am typing alone in the dark.
The point of this story is I was so inspired I got off my butt and hopefully I will inspire someone? Or at least my sister will read it?
Hopefully if I become to twatty you will tell me. Or if I speak about the kids too much. Or how much I hate mothers who hang in shopping centres. You will tell me won't you? I hope so, Kate! Hehe!
Ok, going to enjoy the silence because I probably only have ten more minutes!
YAY for writing crap so strangers can read it! This is awesome!
