A new beginning
Here I am at long last. Same look to the website, but many differences.
95 percent of the last 7 years of blogs have been deleted. What remains is, well what remains.
:-)
MySpace
Well, I've done it. I've got a myspace page.
It's only in its infantcy, but here it is....

Live, games, and very little time on the net. ~From the last couple of months~
Life has settled back down to normal again. We're still trying to get this honeymoon happening, but hopefully it will go ahead ok. I still have my doubts about going to New York City, but CJ wants to go and see it before we lose the chance (ie start a family).
I'd put in a tender for a second hand pc at work and I was successful. Now I can play Neverwinter Nights *yay* hehe.
It's not bad. I'd say it would be a fair bit different playing it online, but I'll have to wait and get a modem for that pc before I can try that!
I've cancelled my EverQuest account for the time being ... if I can get this 'new' pc hooked up to CJ's like my old Win98 one is so that my 'new' one (Win2000) can piggyback off CJ's that will be cool.
Getting back into EverQuest will not be much fun, as there will be a hell of a lot of updates etc that I'll have to download before I'll be able to play.
I've bought a better graphics card from it, and all is working fantastically. Next thing I'll be buying for it will be a $79 dvd burner that I've seen in the latest Netguide (not too dear, but will do the job).
I'll gradually buy things for it until I'm at a point where I'm happy having it online. ie Anti virus software etc.
I'm beginning to think that getting broadband will be the most easiest way for the two of us to be on the net at the same time, as I tend to hog bandwidth a lot, especially when I'm playing online.
Morrowind came very close to being sold, as I couldn't play it very well on CJ's pc. But now I can play it too.
All is well.
"Fizzgig"
Photo: "Fizzgig" a few weeks ago.
We have a yabby called "Fizzgig" he (or she!?) has been with us since December 2004. He (for the sake of the blog) has shed his shell twice since we have had him.
Well last night, he did it again. I was sitting at the dining room table checking over the wedding plans and guest list etc, when I noticed he was sitting very still and look a "bit off colour". I went over to him and he tried to move away, but was unable to. Then I noticed another "yabby" staring at me from the opposite side of the tank. Fizzgig had shed his shell sometime during the course of the day!
Suddenly everything fell into place, why he'd not eaten anything for the past three days and why he was a bit more grumpier than usual. So, hopefully by Monday he'll be back to normal and will "have a go at" (attack/threaten) anyone, through the glass, that walks past his tank.
Wedding etc
I've not posted for a while, but life has been rather hectic lately. Full time job during the day and a full time job outside of that planning our wedding!
There is one thing that i've kind of started thinking about, and that is that my Mum won't be there. I haven't cried about it yet, but I know that I will. I hope it will be sooner rather than later. I thought of writing this tonight in the hopes that it will help me release some of what I'm starting to feel.
I went over to the town I grew up in the other day, to finalise wedding invitations etc. And I went out to the cemetery and I sat with her for a while. Memories of that day came back to me, but they didn't make me burst out crying this time. I just stayed quiet and alone out there with Mum.
No idea what it will be like on the day without her there. But I know how much I've hated not having her here to ask her things about her wedding etc. I've tried to ask Dad, but he doesn't remember. Mum would, her memory was incredible. Just like her.
Computer Games
Well, I've gone and got myself addicted to EverQuest. Took us a few days to get the game working on CJ's pc (I'm ready to throw mine out the window as far as new games are concerned, but it's a good little machine for all my old games). The need to play Morrowind has taken a back seat now that EverQuest is on the go, I'm quite liking it.
CJ is playing his new PS2 game like a demon. Ace Commander, I think it is called. It's so good to see him playing the PS2, for ages since we bought it I'd wanted him to play it too, but I don't think he was ready for a different type of computer with "unusual" controls. I think he's enjoying himself, which is very good to see.
1st of April - "April Fools Day"
I don't know if it was the fact that I had in the back of my mind that it was April Fools Day, but everything weird that could have happened at work, did!
When I got home, naturally the first thing you want to do is go to the loo. We have a separate loo to the bathroom (with a sliding door).
I walked through the bathroom and noticed the loo door was closed, and I thought this was odd, as I knew CJ wasn't in there (he was in the lounge room). I opened the door, and a whole pile of balloons floated out. That turned my whole day around and made me smile.
I think that is the first time anyone has ever taken the time to blow up dozens of balloons and surprised me like that.
*happy blissful smile*
Fences and hot weather.
We now have all we need for our new picket fence.
I'm in the middle of painting the redgum posts with a coat of white, then they'll have two coats of the proper colour (cream).
Once the redgum posts are set into the ground (we got the cement this arvo) we then need to cut the rails, of which I'll be painting cream as well.
The pickets came today, there are 100 of them to shape the tops of and paint before attaching to the fence.
This job may take a while to do, but I have a feeling it is going to be very good once it is done, providing we get all our lines straight etc.
Hot wether is back again, with a vengeance.
Ow!
How shocked would you be both as a dentist to see that in the xray, and as the patient who's got it embedded in their skull?!
Valentine's Day
Well, it's the 14th of February; Valentine's Day.
I received a dozen roses from my fiance today. They're beautiful. He is fantastic, I love him very much.

Question of the month: How do you like your coffee (or tea)?
Myth: Housework. Once it's done, you can sit down and have a rest.

About
me...
At the beginning of 2001
I moved to a little country town in the middle
of Victoria (Australia) about 65kms from the
town I was born and grew up in. It's a fairly
peaceful historic town nestled at the foot of
the Strathbogie Ranges. I live here with my
husband in a house we bought in 2002.
When we have the time and money we paint parts of the house,
do some more gardening, and workout what renovations we can do to the house next...
and also try to keep up with each day as it passes.

If I can find something similar to tagboard on the net that is customisable, I will put it here. Any ideas you can put my way?.
