Merry Christmas..

It's almost time to hang the candy canes on the tree♥. Tomorrow the kids will do that. And I plan to do some baking for Christmas Day and afterwards we're going to crank up the surround sound & watch Home Alone 1 & 2.. Can't wait!

Long time no see

Like almost a year!!!

Oh well, I'm back, maybe this will encourage me to do some more scrapbooking..we'll be seein' about that 1 eh?;)

I heart Jack ♥

Aarghhh!! It's been days since I turned on the computer I've NOT been interested at all..not even blogged our awesome day Monday. 13th..Jack Johnson day!!

Why?? Because I've been up on cloud 9 & I'm not coming back down! That's why! I've been living in my own little 'Jack Utopia' all week &
I'm very happy to be here. For the past 5 days I've been replaying & basking in Monday nights errm how can I put it and find the right words...Sorry no words, it's too hard..but here are some pics of the amazing man himself!! (sorry Jay it's not you this time)..


When he first walked out ...*yes I squealed with delight!*


Also, this album 'To the Sea' is full of songs (yet again!) written just for me..and It feels like Jack has put an end to a crapola of a year and filled me back up to the other me, the one that's been on a bit of a break..so yeah basically Mr Johnson, you've turned on a switch that nobody else could...just like the song ..

"You & your heart shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take why you gotta break & make it feel so hard".....


What does this mean..no more wasting time on 'other things' and time to concentrate on my own life now & also fully live in the now... My heart is 'full' again & I can do stuff on my own! Yeah I think I might be back! Only a better me..:)


Eleventy hundred claps for Jack ♥


Oh and another thing, how nice was it to lay up on the grassy hill with my beloved listening to Jack singing "better together"? again words can't express..


Another awesome night & we can't wait to see Jack singing live again..hubby also likes him now & we've been chatting about him and 'Zach' all week !!woohoooo!! ♥♥


***************************************************

a QUICK run down of the days events....


Got up super early..very excited today was finally here! Woopwoop!!
BIG thanks to our Sil & Bil for babysitting our 3 offspring..love love!!! And we will return the favour just say the time & place! More than happy!!

We get going after dropping the kids off and arrive really early which is great! Found our designated car parking area and walked along South Bank, crossed the Goodwill Bridge and up the little hill to wait in line where we hung around for 3 hours to get a good spot up the front near Jack..just like last time.

Hung around..smooched and ate lemon calypso's ♥ (as you do)....gates finally opened and in we ran! Jay went straight for the stage to get us a good spot & I stopped at one of the merchandise stalls and bought my little stash of goodies I'd bookmarked from the online shop..yay!!!


Went to the porta loo first because I knew it was going to be a loooong wait like last time waiting for Jack to come on the stage & like last time, I knew I'd not be moving after I'd secured my spot..porta loos...weird scary things..double check the door was locked and umm yeah..so glad that part was soon over not nice!!! ran down the hill over to Jay, we got closer to JACK this time but not against the barrier but second from it which was just as good, I got a really good head space straight through the 2 people in front of me..YAY!!!


The music pulsated through our bodies, was heaven!!! Ash Grunwald is an amazing guitar player his music rocked but Tegan & Sara hhmm....nah not my cup of tea. To me they seem like every other young group out there not to mention the chick who was standing beside me was a little bit insane, probably the same way I am about Jack I guess;D..thankfully after T&S were over she took off..


Then Mr Johnson walked out & the rest is freaking history.........

I'll post some more pics, do enjoy won't you


Off to listen to some music now see ya xxxxx

I heart today ♥

Happy Anniversary to us!

Happy Birthday Man!

Our eldest turned FIFTEEN yesterday & he had a great day..from getting cards in the mail (thank-you to family & friends!)..going to the lolly shop, picking up the cake, finally buying 2 PS2 Games he's been after for a while now from the local Games Trade shop to then visiting his fav model train shop late in the afternoon & getting himself some supplies in the form of a ~ROUND-HOUSE!! & a few other bits & pieces...

One very happy boy ♥♥...



Just one thing..I hope this next year goes slow..I bet it won't though & he will be 16 and wanting to drive our car before we know it ~ EEKKKK!!:D

These are cool

I found these in a toyshop & had to buy them.. as part of hubbies Fathers Day present..Why? cos they're super cute, cool & did I say a bit yummy?☺! ♥ ♥ ♥

Pure happiness ☼

Ha.... today I got to talk to JACK JOHNSON!

"How did you do that" I hear you say?
Well, it was his first live web chat, to talk about his upcoming Australian tour ,

Ner ner

that's how :P



In my moment of 'excited-NESS!' I actually deleted the page just after I asked him

"Who will be your support acts Jack"? Then somebody else asked it, where my comment went I do not know but his answer was this..

1:00

Jack Johnson: Tegan and Sarah will be supporting me and Ash Grunwald will be on certain dates.

OOOHHHHH!!!!! :D


So I signed into my twitter acount which I never use (I find it incredibly boring & just do NOT get it although I do enjoy reading whoever I am following but that's about as far as it goes now for me)

SO i was then able to post again and this was my next question..

2:00	missuso9: Do you think you will sing on new songs to come with Paula?

2:01	Jack Johnson: Yeah you could say she is someone I will collaborate with in the future

How cool is that?!!! I basically sat there for the hour staring at the screen, watching people asking Jack questions & watching him answer them all with the biggest smile & grins, it didn't matter at all that my questions were not all posted. It felt like someone had peeled the roof off of our house to let the warm sun in:) ♥


Was I a little excited or still am? You betcha I am. I still can't believe I actually talked to Jack Johnson today :D ♥



P.S I LOVE Paula Fuga shes a mixture of sweet,calm,relaxing..her sounds are just beautiful, her voice is nothing short of amazing


P.P.S
*holy crap!*

Strawberry muffins

It's the last weekend of winter so I thought I'd bake some of these yummy muffins I found in a magazine last night, for afternoon tea after hubby gets home.

You'll need :

♥ 2 cups of self-raising flour
♥1/2 cup of raw sugar
♥1 lightly beaten egg
♥1 cup of milk
♥4 tbsp of melted butter
♥& 1 punnet of strawberries

Preheat the oven to 200C or just under for a fan forced. I lightly greased the muffin pan with coconut oil so they will have a subtle coconut flavour but I am still undecided on this particular oil. I've read some really good reviews on it & also some not so good..so for now i use it to grease the pans when I make muffins or cupcakes & it does leave them with a nice coconut scented/flavour!

Mix all your dry ingredients then add the milk, melted butter & the egg. Lightly mix in the strawberries & cook for 20 to 25 minutes depending on your oven.

Leave to cool for 5 minutes before popping them out onto a wire cooler.

Beautiful!

Daffodil Day 2010

It's Daffodil Day again & I have 2 bunches of closed Daffodils that are waiting to open.
Maybe Sunday.
All of the open bunches were already sold but these will be nice when they do bloom.
Daffodils symbolize new life & hope.

Last week a longtime friend of ours died suddenly from an aggressive form of Cancer. She too was in her early 60's & one of the nicest, loving people we had ever met. Both of these strong, beautiful, giving women are in my thoughts especially today.

Love to you both xoxoxox

( Here you go Grandma your favourite song ♥ :) )

*Oohhhh *

Too much chocolate aagghhhh ♥....
