ToBeReMo June 2011



I had planned to read more this year. I even starting a separate blog for reading challenges, but it only lasted 5 mins (LOL).

When I saw this challenge while blog surfing, I thought why not try again.

Thursday Thunks #1

Thursday Thunks is kind of like Meet Me on Monday.
Thursday Thunks (TT) is a blog meme for those who need a little kick in the butt to find something to post about. Your blog posts/answers to TT's can be type or pictures, doesn't matter! You pick, not us, we just give you the assignment (yep, just like english class... Only we won't grade your spelling & grammer).

Meet Me on Monday #5

1. What jewelry do you wear 24/7?
Apart from my earrings & a necklace no, but I suppose the answer is Yes then.

2. Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it?
When we do buy traditional spaghetti, I do twirl it. I prefer spirals, bows or shells & they are easier for the boys as well.

The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars

This song was written for me. It pretty much describes my life lately (which is not fair on the boys. They deserve better).

Disappointment

So you're told to rely on a person. To give them the chance to make up, for letting you down the last time & the time before that & the time before that...

A Facebook status that spoke to me.

With everything that's been going on & the millions of thoughts that have been running through my head, I have just notice a friend's Facebook status that spoke to me.

Previous Lives

Have you ever wondered who you were, what you'd done or whether a previous life has something to do with your current one?

Footy Frenzy Friday #13

I have failed again. :( So much for NaBloPoMo.

I've also failed to update my last FFF (Footy Frenzy Friday). I do have a 1/2 past drafted, but my scanner is on the blink & I need to add something to my post.

Meet Me on Monday #4

Yes, I know it's Tuesday, but Blogger still isn't behaving itself (I'm using the old post editor, as the new one is the reason we can't post).

Blogger Issues

I'm posting from my mobile, because Blogger is having issues. I'm not the only one suffering either. I'll post properly when things are back to normal.

Dear Diary

No fancy meme today. I suppose it's more like a diary entry.

I ended up working today instead of tomorrow, because there were so many ticketing increases to be done (so much for "Down, Down" & "Price Knock Down & Staying Down").

After work I paid a few bills & went home. R&A were napping, so I had quiet time for an hour or so. DH went out to get a few things, then we went to ILs for dinner.

*sigh* Told you it was going to be a b-o-r-i-n-g post. I probably killed 10,000 trees, while wasting the bandwidth this post has taken up. *sigh*

Footy Frenzy Friday #11 (On Sunday)

Well it's a bit late, but from the participation & my reader count (A big "HELLO" to my 6 readers & 120ish page views. Please don't be scared to comment.), I doubt anyone will notice.

With it being Easter last week & no footy played on Good Friday, we had the traditional Easter Thursday clash, this year amongst the Lions & the Saints. It was at the Gabba in Brisbane, so I was only able to watch it on TV.

From afl.com.au
ST KILDA defeated a plucky Brisbane Lions outfit 13.11 (89) to 11.10 (76) in a scrappy contest in front of 22,520 at the Gabba on Thursday night.

Both sides made numerous mistakes in slippery conditions but it was the Saints who stood up when it mattered most, kicking four goals in the last quarter to the Lions' two to secure the four points.

Honestly, neither team deserved the win. It just happened that St Kilda were 13 points up when the siren rang.


On Easter Sunday, Richmond played North Melbourne in a twilight game at Etihad.

I put the boys down a little earlier for their nap, so I could wake them, feed them, get them ready & go, but it didn't work out that way.

When they woke, A was all hot & sweaty & didn't seem 100%. I sat them in their chairs, gave them their lunch & continued to organise food for the footy. R polished off his rather quickly, but A wanted nothing to do with it. I thought may be some jelly might be appealing. R again polished it off, but A didn't even want to be spoonfed.

Long story short, we didn't go & A & I fell asleep on the couch, while R & DH watched the footy on TV. A woke up a little later, but wasn't 100% again until the next day.

About the game. From afl.com.au
RICHMOND overran North Melbourne in a thrilling game at Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon to notch up its first win of the season by nine points and its first win since round 18 of last year.

North led for most of the day after establishing a 22-point lead by quarter-time, but the Tigers never let the Kangaroos get out of reach at any stage during the game.
I didn't see much of the game, so can't really comment. DH was upset that we/he didn't go, but them's the breaks with kids.

Next week, I'll discuss the battle of this house. Richmond V Brisbane.


BTW, if anyone has a story to tell about a team sport that they play or watch (AusKick, AFL, NRL, Basketball, Netball, Local Footy, Soccer, Table Tennis, Snooker, etc), please share. If you know someone who is sports mad, tell them they can share here. Just feeling a little down about no one participating in this meme/blog hop. I wont add a link this week, but please comment or link in the comments section, if you'd like to take part.
