Hold You Love

I honestly can’t think of anything to say…. 

I blame it on the baby brain.  Really.

I am currently alternating between being too tired to do much of anything except rest, {they don’t call it an irritable uterus for nothing…  It’s so irritating!}, and having insane bursts of energy which results in manic “MUST CLEAN ALL THE THINGS”!!

~ * Yes, I just generated my first meme.  Ironically, I think that’s where this image came from ~ from a must clean all the things post.  (> . <)  * ~

And that’s the extent of my functioning at the moment.  I am looking forwards to be able to think again in about ~ oh, 3 months?   Ah, the joys of late pregnancy/life with newborns.  (￣▽￣*)ﾉ

About Bonita ~ A to Z regarding me!

Hi everyone!  I am back.  ^ U ^   Yays!!   I have had a lovely break, but the writer’s itch is striking me again and I am keen to delve back in the wonderful world of writing and blogging.   {Which are two different things if you ask me, but that’s a bit of a side track!  > o < } 

I found this tag/meme on You've Got Nail and I liked it so much that I thought I would do my own version.  It’s an A to Z list of different facts about me.  I hope you find it interesting ~ I certainly had fun doing it.  : )

~ * ♥ * ~

A. Age:   I have a “Ladies never reveal their age” policy…  Am I goose for this?  Maybe.  Call it what you will, but this is a secret.  ; P

B. Bed size:   Queen with a timber frame.  I love my comfy mattress!

C. Chore you hate:   Dishes.  Without a doubt.  This is my most despised chore and although I am getting better at doing them when they need to be done, it is also quite likely that they will sit for two to three days until the bench is dripping with dirty dishes.  Because I hate doing them that much!

 

 

 

 

D. Day:    Erm. It’s Satuday?  Daylight?  Sunshine?  Actually I am a night owl, so my answer to day is “sleep”.

 E. Essential start to your day:    Floradix.  It’s a herbal liquid iron supplement and if I don’t take it regularly {ie. ~ at least once a day; but twice is better} I get cranky and completely exhausted. 

F. Favourite colour:  Hmm.  I go through stages.  At the moment, I would say white. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G. Gold or Silver:   Silver.  I don’t wear much gold because I have a blue~based skin tone, so silver {or white gold} is the best metal for me. 

H. Height:   5’ 7” give or take. 

I. Instruments:   None sadly ~ although I do sing.  I love singing for choir, although I do not belong to a permanent one.   I can also play the recorder, but not well enough to count it as being able to play it properly.

J. Job title:   Stay at home housewife and proud to be!

 

 

 

 

 

 

K. Kids:   One ~ my gorgeous little boy Theodore.  He is two week and one day old now, and he makes me smile everyday.   ♥ ♥ ♥

L. Live:   NSW, Australia. 

M. Mum’s name:    Barb or Mumbly if I am in a silly mood!  : P

N. Nicknames:   Boni.   Oh, and my Dad sometimes called me Biggles, that is, Boni + Giggles = Biggles.  =^ . ^=

O. Overnight hospital stays:   Two ~ one long stay of three weeks.  I was in for undiagnosable stomach pain which may or may not have been caused by large cysts on my ovaries, which may or may not have irritated my appendix.  Either way the appendix was removed!  The second stay was actually when Theodore was born.  We had to have an emergency caesarean and we were kept in Postnatal for the next four days.

P. Pet peeve:   People who don’t drive properly, but my definition of properly might be vastly different from the normal definition.   > <

Q. Quote from a movie:  “Kaboom?” 

“Yes, Ricco ~ Kaboom!” 
~ The Penguins, Madagascar.   

I love it!   Kabooooooom!!!

 

R. Right or left handed:   Right

S. Siblings:   Three younger sisters whom I love and adore.  We are the best of friends and it’s awesome!

T. Time you wake up:   Wake up?  Yuck.  Erm, from choice probably around 8:30am.  At the moment ~ any time Theodore stirs and wants to eat. 

U. Underwear:   Unmentionables!

V. Vegetables you dislike:   I like/love most vegetables but I am not fond of brussel sprouts.  After all, who is!?

W. What makes you run late:   Distractions.  Like my computer ~ but mostly my blog feed readers!  Google and Bloglovin’ are always there to tempt me. 

X. X-Rays you’ve had:   Not many ~ maybe one? 

Y. Yummy food you make:    Pasta and bacon pesto.  I also do a mean stir fry.  And a not bad roast dinner!  I am only just learning my way around the kitchen, but I am starting to quite enjoy it.

Z. Zoo:   Yes, sometimes I feel like I live in a zoo.  My sisters and I are the otters incidentally.   ^ w ^

So that’s about it, but I am tagging anyone who is interested.  Link your own A to Z in a comment because I would so love to learn random facts about you.  ^ U ^

30 Days of Creativity ~ My Challenge!!

I saw the 30 Days of Creativity meme on Tiffany’s A Reason to be Fabulous and while my first thought was “Ooo ~ goody!  This looks like fun!” my logical side kicked in pretty quickly and put the brakes on the whole idea. 

Galloping on the heels of the initial “Yeh, I could do this ~ it looks like something I would like to try” was a very big “Are you crazy?!!? You have a BABY coming ~ as in newborn, never-had-one-of-these-before BABY and you want to start a challenge to be creative for 30 days in a row???”   ………

*sigh*

So here’s my dilemma.  Do I give this challenge a go and hope for the best or do I not bother?  See, I am the kind of person that likes to do things right or just not do them at all.  And I do not have any idea if I will be able to start this project on June 1st, let alone keep it up for a whole month!  

But I do really want to try!  I love crafting and being creative and really ~ it’s such a huge genre.  You could origami your toilet paper.  That’s creative.   Or you could ice a cake.  Or decorate your nails.  Or crochet amigurumi.  Or make a card.  Or draw a picture ~ anything goes really!

I think the only “rule” is that you have to start and finish the project in the day.  So for example, I am knitting a blanket for my baby, and although I could work on that and be creative, I am no where close to finished, so it sort of doesn’t count.  At least, I do not know if it does or it doesn’t but I think that it shouldn’t!

So I guess the long and the short of it is that I will take up this challenge to the best of my abilities.

I pledge to start and finish one creative project a day starting on June the 1st, 2011.

If I can manage to do it, then hooray!  If it gets too much to handle then so be it.  I suppose that even if I get one creative thing done out of the thirty days then it will be worth it.  

Wish me luck!

P.S.  ~ Let me know if any of you take up the challenge; I’ll follow your board on Pinterest!  Oh, and if you want an invite to Pinterest, just let me know and I’ll send you one.

Random screen shot curtsey of Youtube!! > >’

I will not add much more to this post as I am pretty sure you have probably heard enough from me for the moment { I do ramble on don’t I?  > O < }  but I just want to say that I will be posting the results of my poll soon. 

Five people have voted so far {yay for you!}, but I am afraid that the results will not really represent what everyone wants to see.   Or maybe you do not mind?   Anyway, if you want to put in a word, pleeease do:  I really do want to hear what you have to say.

P.S. ~   A big fat sorry from me as this is a technically an extremely late post.  No, I did not forget to post on Tuesday ~ this video was supposed to be up then but I have had some {!!!} technical difficulties.  I had to rerecord 3 times and then it would not upload to YouTube properly.  It has taken me two days and two nights of trying to upload this video to finally get it posted!  Sometimes tech is such a pain.  T ^ T
