The prompt for the LBD style challenge this week is Mystery Event.  

I don't do mystery very well.  If someone said to me that I was going to a mystery event I would pump them for details.  I barely cope with Christmas, birthdays and Mothers Day as I am usually busting to know what I am getting.  A friend of mine on facebook was surprised with an overseas trip and didn't know where she was going until she got to the airport.  I would be beside myself and would not cope for a second if that was me!!  Fyi she was taken to The Cook Islands, lucky thing!!

However I can keep a secret like nobodies business!!  I am the master of not only buying the perfect gift but not letting on what it is!!  Which kind of contradicts myself, maybe even making me a hypocrite which is the  "Ï Must Confess" topic this week!! 

I really like playing along with the LBD challenge.  I like using polyvore (although I still haven't worked out how to use my own images!!).  I like how you pick something and don't get a price or brand until you click on whatever it is.  All the things I have picked out this week are really cheap except the shoes they were about $400 and that divine bracelet which is roughly $210,000!!  I am adding it to my Chrissy wishlist however I am guessing it will remain a dream!!






In other news I have a cold.  I am totally blaming Mother Nature for the bizarre weather we have had the last few weeks.  Stinking hot one day and then cyclonic and freezing the next.  In case you missed the memo MN it is spring, the weather should be warmish during the day and nice and cool at night.  

Lastly I did not have a song of the week last week.  Which is odd as there are so many awesome songs on the radio lately.   Nathaniel is a winner, we all bop along to this one!!  Hoobastank are included as yesterday I heard them on the "classic rock"radio station, nice work wsfm now I feel a gazillion years old!!


The excitement level in our house is pretty high with the imminent release of the new Accadacca album.  The first song from the album has been given the tick of approval!!

Oh and I have no idea why the text size is all over the shop today and I am not feeling like fixing it and potentially deleting a whole post or worse the whole blog!!

Open Slather/ Things I know- The test!!

Ok I have exactly 20 minutes to write a Monday post so here goes some speed blogging!!

Things I know- The test!!
  • I had the test.  Thanks x 1million for all the positive vibes!!
  • 2 hours went by in a flash thanks to reading and having a phone to play on!!
  • I had to pull out the phone as I could feel myself falling asleep when I was reading thanks to not being able to have a coffee!!
  • Especially after finally getting a seat on the only lounge in the waiting room!!
  • Our town has roughly 5000 people in it.  I reckon about 4500 where at the blood place on Saturday morning.
  • Lucky I got there early.
  • Dragon lady was doing the blood collection.  By then end of the test she was actually chatting to me however I hated her as she made a coffee and toast while I was sitting there starving.  That was just plain cruel.
  • She also chipped me for not having made an appointment.
  • At least she is good at taking blood, that comes in handy when you have to have blood taken before, during and after the test.
  • Tomorrow afternoon is results time.  I am totally getting my carbs and sugar in now just in case these become banned in the next few weeks!!
  • I had an awesome Mothers day (hope all the mums out there did too!!) I got exactly what I wanted, a lovely card, a lottery pack and some handmade stuff from the kids!!  Although I actually made one of the pressies at playgroup!!
  • We are having a slightly tight ass present year as I am getting Bon Jovi tickets and ............  while I was looking up BJ I found out that  Monster Mutt DalmatianMonster Jam are heading out to Australia in October and as the HOTH and kids are in love with them we are all going!!  We are going to do the whole experience and get a pit pass.  Times like this cement the fact I live in a house of boys.

Express blogging over!!

Have a fantastic day guys,
