MIA

28 January 2016

Yes I have been MIA for a couple of days, and I am sorry.  Hubby had a 4 day weekend due to Australia Day so I haven't had a chance to get to the computer.  So lets do a quick wrap up of whats happened before we dive knee deep into whats happening now.

Ok so we have had Australia Day and well we did nothing, stayed around the house and just chilled out it was great because there is this big expectation that something needs to be done for the day and well in all honesty there is such a big build up and then there generally is disappointment because it doesn't turn out how you want it. It was good to be still because we had a heap to get over ,me hurting myself, the worry of family being evacuated from their homes and not knowing if it was going to be burnt to the ground, Christmas and New Year. I can't help but think the universe is trying to tell me something and as soon as I figure it out I will let you know because  it would be nice to know these things!!!!  The one thing I have figured out is that I need to be in a job where I can work from home so that I can get my house lovely and tidy,organised and cook decent meals for the family.If that is what the universe is telling me than I need it to send me a clear sign of what to do because we just can't go down to one wage.

Oh and you are not going to believe what I did, after years of resisting I have signed up to become a scout leader.  Yep now I am finding this  funny because I am the lady who doesn't go camping unless I have a hot shower and a flushing toilet, I am not big into the outdoors and well I couldn't cook on a fire without setting myself on fire!!!, don't like creepy crawlies and I am not a big fan of snakes and spiders ( which are found a great deal in nature).  So I can hear you say so why the hell did you sign up for this?, well I want to spend time with the kiddos,like working with kids and this will take me well and truly out of my comfort zone plus I might make a few friends on the way and having friends is not a bad thing.

So while I have been off I have done some reading, I read a book called Lakesia Laskie - Charli's Story ( bought it on Amazon for $5 and I have spoken about it in a previous post) and I was very surprised because A: I have never read fantasy before and B: I could not put it down, every time I did to go and do something I would be back reading this.  Now I have become obsessed with this book so not only have I read it close on a double figure - close to 10 but not quite 15 but I am hanging out for the second book...I assume there is a second book, how do I find out if there is going to be a second book?, am I able to contact the author directly or is that just a wee bit stalkerish?  I need to know, I have to have the second book because I want to find out to the characters- one of them dies and I want to know if her death is going to be avenged - yes I realise what I did I gave a spoiler I didn't mean to.

I am on the hunt for a new handbag and I do have certain expectations of said bag and they are : it has to not have any dividing sections in the bag, has to have pockets that I can put my keys, phone in, need to be able to get to my wallet easily - I plan on changing that as well, it needs to be able to be big enough to carry all of this stuff but not to big because I am a small person and it will look stupid, I need to be able to access my glasses case with ease - I wear glasses so I am constantly swapping between sunnies and normal glasses, plus I need to be able to carry my little emergency kit in it.  Now with all of that in mind and being that I have seen the bag before ( that would be ideal) and have seen bags similar you think I would be able to find the bag..........but no.  It seems that designers change the design all of the time which is making my life very frustrating
So when I do find the perfect bag I will do a photo shoot plus might even do a video so you see how I keep it organised.
