Okay, okay, I'm sorry

I'm sorry it has been so long. Life has been crazy for us lately since LHT has been working for Rio Tinto. Since he is away for five nights and home for three it has been difficult to get into a routine. I think we are finally getting there. I decided on December 10 I had to do something about my weight. So I joined the local YMCA and have been going M-F ever since. I have not weighed myself yet to know if I have lost any weight but I think it will show more in measurements for the first time rather than in kilos. I have a few more weeks until my first weigh in and measure. I signed up for personal training once a week which I have a love hate relationship with. Not my trainer though, the Princess of Darkness is fabulous!! I love her to bits and I love that she will push me to my limit. I have not as yet vomited but I certainly have felt like it!! I am quite proud of how I am going, I can see my fitness improving as the days go by. I was so excited when I finally managed to do 1000m in five minutes on the rower, especially as it was the same day I finally managed to do 1km on the cross trainer! I knew it would be a good day for my friends who were getting married. Yesterday I did 5.3km in 5 minutes on the kayak, I felt like superwoman.



It was the Lusty Librarian and the Snakeman got married. It was a lovely little ceremony on the beach with just 7 people, including the celebrant. Afterwards we went out to a New Orleans style restaurant which has made me crave creole ever since. (I am making jumbalaya tomorrow night - mmmm.)
The pixie is going along nicely, being very advanced and all. She is saying lots of new stuff including cheese, fish, here she is, cool and oh wow. It is very very cute to see her. Her auntie gave her a set of 5 boardbooks for christmas and she loves them to death and she always says, "cool", which she pronounces tulle, when she is looking at them. She is of course being extra cheesy these days, not very keen on posing for photos these days, it's way more fun to run away from Mummy. Speaking of running, TenB said to me one day, "you know one day they walk and the next they run." So true my friend so true, she runs all over the place and I really have to try to keep up. She is definitely a bit part of my motivation when I get tired when I am working out, I try to remember that if I don't do it, she'll get away from me. How about that Mum who left her baby unattended in the car today and the car got stolen! How sick would you feel coming out of the store and realising that your precious baby was gone. I can only imagine the anguish she felt during the time her baby was gone. I bought a wrist restaint for the Pixie the other day, she doesn't mind it if I put my bit on first. She thinks it's okay cos I have one on my wrist too. You know people say it's like having a dog on a leash, I agree, but in this case, I am the dog. She drags me around on the dam thing and then I just end up carrying her anyway. I think I'll just use the pram forever! She was sick on monday so I gave her an iceblock to keep up her fluids - you would have thought I had given her gold and jewels the happiness she displayed. If only she was always going to be that easy to please.
