Decaf

I always thought not drinking alcohol would be the start of are you pregnant questions. Instead today when I asked if I could have a decaf cap my sister immediately stated I was pregnant. We're in the waiting to find out stage at the moment and I didn't really want to let my Mum and sister know that but it came out anyway! It was really nice at the Farmer's Market yesterday though because the first time in EVER, Mum was actually excited about the possibility of me being pregnant. Finally it isn't all about are we making a huge mistake (because Hubby might not have a job lined up). Now she's excited to be a grandma and it's just taken a huge weight off my shoulders because I wanted to share the happy and not just keep it between me and Hubby.

So back to work tomorrow and an early start :( It'll be a bit hard seeing as I slept in until 10am this morning, but that's what not going to bed until 1240am does to me obviously. I finally finished cleaning the house, the floors still need to be done but everything else is cleaned literally top-to-toe. We haven't done the balcony or outdoor courtyard/garden but I think we might leave the garden until Mum aka the landlord comes around.

I'm exhausted after the massive cleaning project but at least only 4 days left until Saturday! I can't wait I plan on just relaxing completely (with some gardening) and hopefully getting to the movies.

PS: Monday Yummy = incorrect Nando's order. I didn't want leftovers and just felt like a bit of a splurge. I'm going to start doing some dinner planning and I think I'll start that next weekend!

Mrs Sometimes Gardener

On Saturday (before a wonderful afternoon tea with my niece & nephew and siblings-in-law) we started preparing for finally fixing up the garden. Mum had made it exactly the way she wanted and then left and, even though we have the same taste in things I hated half the stuff she'd put in. We grabbed some herbs from Dawsons along with some plants, a hanging basket and potting mix. They were left outside until we came back from a yummy breakfast (I highly recommend InContro but getting the yummy food takes FOREVER, it's good for footy player spotting though!). On the way there we'd seen a Swapmeet that I'd kept wanting to go too and we finally got to go after returning from breakfast. There was so much crap there but it was fun to poke around and look at everything. Also on sale were heaps of plants (silly us should not have bought anything at Dawsons everything at the swapmeet was half price) and we came away with herbs (sage, lemon mint & basil), a guava tree and some cool pink spiky flower plant. I also bumped into an old boss as we were leaving, it's funny because everyone who hasn't seen me in ages keeps commenting on my hair. I always think it's because it's blonder now but it's actually because it's gotten quite long (still not the length I want it at but nothing to sniff at either!)

So we now have two mini herb gardens and a garden which is more OURS than BORROWED.

Does anyone know what this plant is?
