Falling Behind

Sorry it's been awhile between posts but a 3 day migraine will do that to a person. I know 3 days right...NOT FAIR especially because I thought the pill was the cause of them. Guess not, and nothing seems to help with it either, even prescription stuff (just makes me feel like crap). But it's hopefully resided now (I won't say gone because I still feel it lurking - don't want to poke the monster) and just in time for heading down south for my Aunty's 70th.

Very excited and all stocked up with (mostly) healthy snacks for the drive down. I love the big family gatherings with my Mum's side of the family and the boys always take Hubby under their wing (so long as he avoids my pot smoking bikie Uncle he should be ok ha-ha...but seriously I love that guy and when I say bikie I mean the good kind!).

Hopefully lots of photos to post, I should really hunt down my camera and pack seeing as we're leaving at 9am tomorrow. Oh and add shaving my legs to the list...I swear why do women get stuck with all the horrible things!

Another Lost Weekend

So yesterday yet another day long headache ruined my Saturday. But at least I'm feeling good on the last day of the weekend. The air feels like it's going to be a hot day and my mind is filled with images of diving into the ocean and watching our little dog dig giant holes in the sand. Although most likely what would be happening is he'd be taking on a great dane. He really has issues, I think part of it stems from him thinking he's a big dog (on the inside) and the other is that he always wants to protect us. No other animal or dog (or even ourselves!) are allowed cuddles if he's around, he's such a jealous little thing.

The beach will have to wait until the afternoon though, Hubby is disappearing somewhere to buy me a Christmas present and I'm doing the fun ol' Sunday clean. Yesterday even with my head pounding we managed to finish our Christmas shopping, last minute gifts had to be bought for people we thought we wouldn't be catching up with. So now Christmas shopping is done and dusted and I'm just crossing my fingers that all of the boys presents arrive on time but I'm not getting my hopes up :( It'll suck just having to give him an envelope with a photo of the present because one of the presents I got him is AWESOME and I know he'll love it.

We've even started receiving Christmas cards, all addressed to Mr & Mrs which is cool. I think we'll start doing cards next year. This year has just been too hectic and I want to make the cards into photo cards as well. And who knows maybe next year we can have a new addition on there (although if that's the case I doubt the cards will get done!). I just love anything like that be it invitations to thank you notes and I miss having something to design them for. All the big birthdays are over and done with as is the engagement and wedding. Next up of course will be the baby but as I mentioned I doubt I'll be in the right frame of mind for that. Oh well we've got a few fixer-upper things to do at home so hopefully that'll fill the void for awhile.

I can't wait for Christmas! I feel like a little kid about it this year and I'm really looking forward to giving everyone their presents, eating lots and laying off the booze! I've already told my friend I'm not drinking at New Year's and the obligatory pregnant question arose...not sure how I'll dodge that at the Hubby's Christmas because I always drink (a lot) but we'll just deal with it if it comes up.

I hope everyone else is getting ready for copious amounts of festive cheer! If I don't post before the holidays 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Migranes...ICKY

I swear I am so over my head wanting to kill me! I'm going to take matters into my own hands now though and get rid of the pill. The thought of doing that is kind of terrifying but one doctor suggested it's the fake hormones causing my head dramas so lets see if he's right!

It's finally starting to ease off but last night I was terrible. I always burst into tears when I'm in heaps of pain and poor Hubby has been waiting on me hand and foot since last night. I hate doing that to him and I really hate being confined to the couch or bed on the weekend. It's not fair losing half my weekend to a bloody migrane GRRR

As long as I feel better by tomorrow night I'll be ok, we're going out to Japanese (Perth readers I highly recommend you check out The Bonsai in Northbridge) and we've order my sister their cool puffer fish cake (not that I recommend their desserts! But the food is beyond yummy.) I couldn't get the picture on here but it can be seen on their website.

It'll be nice to have a semi-family dinner again but it'll probably be the start of no free nights until after Christmas for me and I'm not really looking forward to that :( I'm a big home-body but it's good for me to get out and about.

Today is also the day by best friend left for Burma and then France...so jealous of her but so happy for her as well. I sent her a text farewell (because we'd done the dinner, speech, hug thing nights before) and teased that there might be a new person waiting to meet her when she gets back. It was also the first time in awhile that we both said I love you to each other and not in the off-the-cuff comment way but the I really mean it way. It's nice to have friends to be able to say that to. I would do anything for that girl and I know she'd do the same for me.

Out for the count

Killer migraines are no fun! Especially when they start Sunday and only disappear Thursday late afternoon :( Which is why my blogging attempt at 30 days was so horrendous!

I will resume it all starting November 1st AKA my 6 year dating anniversary with Hubby. We're going away for the weekend and I can't wait! I totally need to recharge my batteries right now, the migraine knocked me out and even though I've been sleeping lots I still feel exhausted!

We're going to celebrate with a bottle of Verve Cliquot (an engagement present) and the top tier of our wedding cake...we are cheating a bit but I want to eat it whilst it's still semi-yummy! And besides, we still have the candy bow to save for our anniversary which is good.
