Gotcha! Your'e It


Emma over at Jellybelly*Jellybrain has tagged me. I haven't been tagged before except that time in Form Two at Pasadena Intermediate, when the girls played ball tiggy with the boys, and they chucked the tennis ball so hard at us that we got branded. But that's all in the past now and the therapy really seemed to help with my aversion to "running around" sports, and I can now sit on the couch and watch rugby with hardly any panic attacks at all.
So the deal is that I tell you 8 things about meself... so here goes...

8 Things I'm looking forward to...
Doing nothing today after a frantic week and weekend.
Attending my nieces wedding at Mantells in July.
Heading off to Rotorua for a weekend break with Busy husband and small Busy's.
Getting some crafty stuff underway.
Summer. Don't even go there its only Autumn and I am totally over it!
Spending some quality time with friends that we have owed a dinner to for ages.
Cracking open a bottle of vino with said friends.
Holding a bit of a do for Mikes Nephew and his lovely girlfriend, when they come back from Oz.

8 Things I did yesterday...
*Got up at 7.00 and made a pancake brekkie for the family.
*Made a big casserole to feed the multitudes.
*Baked a chocolate cake, for the after match function for Little Busy Daughters First Holy Communion, and helped Mr Busy make Club sandwiches.
*Organised the Busy Family's clothes for the above event. (Because Mr Busy would rock up to Mass in his Rugby jersey and ratty jeans. You think I'm joking don't you?).
*Raced down to Church to set up the Parish Centre for the Communion Breakfast (which I refer to as the after match function), only to find out it was full of people having a grand old time with lots of food and cups of tea. Plan C was quickly put into action, and required a great deal of re-jigging of timetable.
*Raced back home.
*Attacked Little Busy Daughter's hair with straighteners, ribbon, and tulle and flowers.
*Attended 6.30pm Mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Howick, and was very proud of Little Busy daughter for not making a face when she took communion wine.





8 Things I wish I could do...


*See out of both eyes, because I'm blind in one eye.


*Sing in tune all the time. (Okay so sing in tune ... full stop!)


*Be really patient and zen like. (Good luck with that. Quick! Did you see that pig fly past the window?)


*Get a flat stomach (oops there goes another pig)


*Have more consistency with my crafting. Like getting started would help as well.


*Keep my house tidy all the time, not just that mad racing around because someone has knocked on the door, and the laundry is sitting in the middle of the stairs waiting to be escorted to its room.


*Be able to play the piano or guitar, because if I could hold a tune as well, imagine what I would be like at a party? You hum it, I'll play it!!


*Grow a few inches. Not much but 5ft 2, is really annoying when you have to take up every pair of pants you buy, and cropped ones just look like you have hemmed them a bit too much.



8 Shows I watch...


*Coronation Street


*Animal Rescue (Australian) or Animal House (NZ) or those Zoo ones.


*Underbelly - The Mr Asia Story- but just finished.


*24


*American Idol


*Celebrity Rehab (I know, I know - don't tell anyone though eh)


*Re-runs of Seinfield


*Chuck a whole load in from, Discovery Chanel, Nat Geo, and Crime Chanel.



Now looking at this you may be thinking. What a boring old bird. Well you are probably right!! I apologise for the double spacing that seems to have occured all on its own. I can't fix it because it's like 9.14 on Sunday morning I'm a bit tired, and Mr Busy is putting on the kettle because I have only had one cup of tea so far.


Now I know you are all standing by to be tagged, so you over there, stop trying to hide behind that other blogger.

And that messy house I was telling you about earlier? Suffice to say we could end up with a government department coming in here and shutting the whole place down
