Yah got to sleep in this morning. 6.10 am just feels like a good sleep in after all the very early morning starts this week at work!
As of Tuesday, I am on my own at work, and no longer in training. A bit scary, but I know I can do it. Just got to be extra careful driving the van, especially being a manual!!!!!
Anyway, as everyone here already knows, the West Coast are playing the Swans today for the Grand Final. I do not really follow footy but I have been hearing West Coast this and that ALL WEEK!!!!
My cousin is due to have her baby today and is a BIG West Coast fan! I am having images of her going into labour during the game and demanding a TV in the delivery room at the hosipital! LOL!! Make a great story to tell her little girl (she already knows she is having a girl) when she is a bit older as no doubt, just like her 3 brothers she will be a fan too!
It is going to be an interesting weekend around here either way. Today we are having Foxtel IQ installed anytime between 7am and 12! I am pretty sure it will be done well and truly before the game starts unless we get a technician that is NOT into football! Also having a seafood feast tonight; crays, fish, you name it! Yummmo can not wait!

I smashed the back window of the work van this morning!!!
I tell you, life is never dull with me around!
I was reversing out of Karinyup Shopping Centre loading bay and clearly saw the Big Blue Bin but failed to see the Big Blue Spike sticking out of the opposite corner and it pierced the back side and right through the glass!!!!
After sweeping up the glass I took it back to the yard and it is getting a new back window!
I was told, "Oh well, that is what insurance is for!" and not to worry about it!
I am fine but have a sore side from laughing! Sure beats crying over it.
On a happier note:
I entered a Top 40 comp the other month to win a free flight to London to see Pink Live, I did not win but got a runner up prize; her latest cd, I'm not Dead!
Pretty cool, especially considering the other day I was just saying to DH how much I like the CD and will have to splurge and get myself one. Now that money will have to go on scrapping supplies! LOL!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I set myself a 20 minute time limit to scrap myself a layout last night and I DID IT!!!!
Although I did have to leave it over night for the DM to dry! LOL. Very simple and elegant, not really what I have been doing lately! My recent layouts involve a lot of work like stitching! Sometimes it is good to get back to basics and just creates something bold, colourful and elegant.
I have a few others that I have been working on for the EDM comp and will upload over the weekend. Also thinking of entering the latest SC comp to try and get Published on the Cover! How cool would that be? Got to be in it to win it!
Other than that I am looking forward to the weekend but not the housework!

It's BEAUTIFUL Women Month TAG YOU'RE IT! Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.For attractive lips, speak words of kindness...For lovely eyes, seekout the good in people.For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone... People,even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.
So I am sharing it with all of you. Have a great weekend girls!
