I have been tagged
I've been tagged by Carlton to post seven things about myself...
She is my one and only blogger follower so I feel rather honored, and it's been donkeys since I have been tagged.
The Rules:
1. List these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tell 7 unspectacular quirks about you.
4. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
5.Link the person who tagged you.
6.Leave a comment for each blogger.
Seven Facts about me:
1. I'm 5'3 and feel it as 50% of the 6th graders at my son's school are taller then me.
2. I love gadgets.
3. I hate cleaning the house, ironing clothes, anything domestic - thus a bad SAHM
4. I love my husband, even though I complain about him endlessly
5. I can talk almost anyones head off (or so everyone tells me)
6. I donate my platelets/plasma every month, I feel it's all I can give honestly to the world.
7. I can not eat store made pizza since losing my weight, I instantly become sick with one bite.
Seven Unspectacular Quirks about me: (gezz I thought the facts about me were rather unspectacular)
("Quirk"= A peculiar behavioral habit)
1: I had to look up "Quirk" to ensure I gave the right answers, I do that so I do sound like an idiot.
2. I hang clothes on the line by who owns them, each member of the family gets one side each.
3. I brush my teeth whilst in the shower.
4. The only way to enjoy Vegemite is together with Banana and cheese - grilled!
5. I don't go to the hairdressers, "once bitten forever petrified"
6. I can't help but look at myself in anything reflective, eg building windows etc. It's nothing vain, I just do.
7. I will always turn something down in a store if I know I can get it cheaper somewhere else - miser?, maybe that's a fact?
I'm meant to tag 7 others now, but I don't have that many blog friends, so if your reading this and you haven't done this tag before and find it interesting and want to do it, go right ahead!

Pretty Dresses
I love dresses and I'll use any excuses to buy one! My father is turning 70 in 2 weeks time and my mother is organising a party - the best reason for a new dress!
I thought I would scan ebay as I have found some great items in the past and stumbled on this dress:
But as you can see the final price was way beyond my means and as it was a full length dress I was worried my short stature would mean it would be dragging all over the floor.
The seller has another dress which is shorter and a gorgeous red!
Considering the price it's sister dress went for and that it is also a size 8, I thought it best to head to the stores and see what they had to offer... and I found this:
The photo does it no justice, but I like it, it's falls above the knee, so I'll match it with my black knee high boots and maybe ditch the red tie for a black belt.

iPhone blogging
I was curious to see if I could blog on my new iPhone, well looks like I can! Typing is rather painfull hitting one key at a time, but if I'm stuck in a place without a book or music (although this thing is also a iPod), well I can blog anywhere, like right here in bed!
Tonight I am in the process of make an Easter gift for my son, an Captain Underpants doll. Whilstin the craft store getting my supplys I purchased some "invisible thread", thinking what a super idea. Well let's just say invisible things are not that easy to work with! It is incredibly hard to find the start of the thread on spool, don't attempt to thread the needle over anything other then black and just because your needle is moving in the places you want don't assume the thread is following.
I'm sure the invisable thread has it's advantages but the moment I am just getting a headache, best to just go to bed!
I note the iPhone doesn't spell check, my apologies. I'm sure my grammer is all over the place too. Let's see if I can add a photo.
Okay this is the doll I am in the process of making:
And this is the reason I am making it:
Yes you did read $421 US dollars, so far mine has cost $3

Not much going on
Just thought I'd pop in and say Hi - "Hi"
Well as the title states not much is going on in my life, even though I'm not working my time seems to sucked away between kids & husband, attempting to exercise and volunteer at the school.
Thank you for the condolences on my kitty, he is really missed, you never realise till they are gone. It was sweet driving up the driveway and see him on the front porch, and the way he wrapped himself in my legs when it was dinner time, but so it is and I'm glad I have the memories. Remember that, it is all we ever truly have, memories, so fill your lives with good ones!
