Toothpick v Needle


It is 9:48 am according to my computer clock on a Saturday morning and I have nothing on until tonight except normal housework type stuff. However I have already had to explain to Aimee why she cannot sew a badge onto her Guide uniform. Simple version is I wanted to finish reading my book before I got up. She was ok with this. The complicated version is that I then had to explain why she could not use a toothpick instead of a needle. I don't know why she thought of it. Mummy needs more chocolate and yes I was in bed.

I'm ba-ack!!!

And this time I am pretty sure I am back for good. While I can hear the skeptics out there not believing me, this time I have a plan.

I have started a 100 words challenge at http://www.100words.com/about.php and so far it is up to day 12 and I have posted everyday. My theory is by the end of the day I will be used to writing every day I will want to keep it up! For this month, because it is my first month I have been treating it pretty much like a blog. Next month (can you hear the optimism?) I think I will use it for a specific purpose. As yet I am not sure what that purpose will be but I have at least another two weeks to decided!

Writing aside, it is the middle of the school holidays (and my holiays from work). We have been visiting people like crazy, cleaning/organising the house like crazy and it is raining LOTS!

I am also adding Quiz Nights (my table came third last night!) and Christmas-In-July* dinners to the list of things that just make me happy.

(*disclaimer: I love Christmas-in-July as a fun thing to do with family and friends or as a fundraiser. I do not like the shops decorating like it is Christmas).
