Fun Foto Friday (food and fat)

Last night I went to a work function and enjoyed one of these ... I have no idea what is was called, but it was delish!


And on Tuesday, I had one of these Bakers Delight white chocolate/berry scones with Big B - YUM!
However, to keep on the straight and narrow (i.e. not becoming wider than my height) - I have this on my desk at work ...
Play Doh?
Lumpy custard?
How about a model of 1kg of human fat??!! (and it is SO big in real life.)
Sigh. But it works.

If it's Thursday, it must be Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends who are celebrating today!

I am giving thanks, that hopefully after more chemotherapy today and tomorrow, my lovely Dad will be in remission again ... and I am so very thankful for that.

Then little E (and the rest of us) can have more of this ... that makes me thankful AND very happy too.

Up dog ...


The other night while I was busily working away on the computer (i.e. blog reading), Big B came into the study ...

B: "It smells like up dog in here"

Me: "What?"

B: "It smells like up dog in here"

Me: "I can't smell anything"

B: "It really smells like up dog in here Mum"

Me: "I don't understand what you're saying. Talk English. What's up dog?"

B: (in her best Gangster voice) "NO! Wassup wiv YOU dawg!"

Blessings

My Aunt recently wrote me a lovely letter, and gave me this beautiful Willow Tree figurine called "Blessings." When Big B saw it, she said it looked like my friend Em ...

Blessings?
Em?
How appropriate.

oh ... and growing!

So where did that weekend (month, year ...) go??

Randomness:

Little E is very excited about her birthday/Christmas. Her favourite Christmas colour is "Silba" and every day she tells me "Guess what? Soon it's Mimi's birsday!"

Middle C has just got her first job, and starts as a check-out chick at Coles this week.

Listening to Paul Weller "22 Dreams"

and Duffy "Rockferry"

Big B performed an original song "Queen B" at a concert last night.

and I'm reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho and eating Pumpkin, lentil & coconut soup.

(un) Anniversary 20.11.04 - 22.5.08


Confucius say "girl who smile like cat that got the cream, soon have taste of sour milk!"
However, Grandad used to say that "this too shall pass" ... and it does ... and it will.
