End of the Day

We finished our day, and our weekend like this.

How did you finish yours?....

Jared Padalecki = Eye Candy

I had a dream last night. And guess who was in it?? If you know my obsession with the show Supernatural, you will fully understand. He kinda looked like this too.


Here's another one if you missed the first.

Weekly pic

I have decided to rename my Pic of the Day, my Weekly Pic, because I am too slack arse at present to remember to post every Thursday. This way, I can post any time during the week, and I still will be fulfilling my promise of a pic.. every week..... whatever...

Today I present a groovy entry from one of my favourite websites Awkward Family Photos that cracks me up most days.


YEAH BABY

BTW I hope you really enjoy this because I have just burned the crap out of my chicken schnitzel. Guess it's salad for dinner....

I'm over my little dummy spit of yesterday. Got it all out, I can breathe a little easier now. Went to the school sports carnival this morning, and watched my kids do their sprints. I love my children and I am so proud of them. Which perfect bush did I pluck these kids from?

Here is a recent sunset, which makes me appreciate where we live and what we will have in the future. If only I can learn to live with my impatience, all will be good.

Fuck. It's Saturday, and I totally forgot about Thursdays Pic of the Day. Any complaints, forward them to the appropriate department. I've been looking at this http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/. It's a place to send in your most "awkward" and embarrassing "I just want to forget about this one" family photos. I've spent hours, well not hours but a long time perusing these pics, and they are funny in a ha ha sucked in kinda way. Shoot me now if I ever, ever post a photo on my blog, that could be "pic of the month" on this freaky site. Here's an sample:-


Check it out, there's more where these came from...

I'm a Laidee..

Our kindy raceday is today. I am just about to get myself ready and play ladies for the day. I haven't been to a raceday before, and (apparently) the women like to get drunk and noisy, so it should be a good day!

The hubbster had the nerve to just ask me "what's for dinner tonight" to which I replied "how the hell would I know". Here's some raceday bling, for my pic of the day, which was supposed to be on Thursday. Opps.

Okay just some housekeeping first. For the person (you know who you are)(but will remain unnamed - FOR NOW).

If you continue to put empty cereal boxes back in the cupboard, I will be forced to feed you toast for breakfast each morning with only the slightest scratch of vegemite. Remember, it's Farmerswife who gets in the shit every morning when there is no cereal.

I couldn't decide on my pic of the day so I have chosen two. The first was taken last night, and it is the hubbsters supper of milk and healthy muesli slice, that somehow ended up on the floor. The dog ate the slice and my diminishing white dinner set is now down to 3 plates.

And the second, well I couldn't resist. This was so cute. And the dollies were apparently eating choc bits, according to Miss T.

I think I have rambled on this week about our guinea fowl ENOUGH ALREADY. But just let me give you this:-


If this isn't a "What the fuck are you looking at?" look, I don't know what is.

It's my blog and I can if I want to.
Hurry Back Supernatural.

Pic of the Day

This pic is of me and my idol Brandi Carlile. You can check her out at http://www.brandicarlile.com/. I first heard her songs on Greys Anatomy and thought she was so talented. She inspired me to learn guitar (which reminds me I must practice!). I met her last year during her tour with Maroon 5. When I found out she was the support act, I begged the hubbster to let me go(!) so he paid for my airfare and off I went to Brisbane, shopped, and had one night in a motel.

The concert was AWESOME! I was by myself and I was quite happy about being on my own. So it came time for the concert to start. My seat was 20 rows from the front, so that was good in itself, but most of the crowd hadn't arrived for the support act so when Brandi came on I went to the front and found a seat 3 rows back. There she was, with her band and it was almost a surreal moment. This musician who I had adored for only 12 months was there, singing and playing guitar and I was in a magical place.

When her show all of half an hour (!) was over, I raced to the foyer and was lucky enough to meet her. She was so down to earth and friendly and in the pic I look like a nervous schoolgirl! I was so bloody nervous! I raced back to my row 20 seat and danced and sang along to Maroon 5 and One Republic, alone but with thousands of others. It will be a highlight of my life.

Pic of the day

I have this fascination with tall buildings. And amazing bridges. And architecture that defies belief. I spend hours on wikipedia reading about skyscrapers - their height and whats involved in building them. Currently the record goes to the Burj Dubai, which stands at 2684 ft.

Don't get me started on Dubai. What a head shakingly amazing place. They have things like this and also like this and even this. I would love to visit this amazing region one day, just put it on my list of places to see.

When I toured America all those years ago, I loved seeing the different buildings from city to city.

In Santa Fe, New Mexico for example, the buildings we saw downtown looked completely different to what we saw in Dallas, Texas. The difference in architecture was simply amazing to me.


Other things that I loved was the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, and Lake Pontchartrain Causeway crossing Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana. This consists of two parallel bridges, the longer of the two is the longest in the world over water, measuring at 23.87 miles (38.42 km) long. It is also the second longest in the world over any terrain (cut and pasted directly from my old friend Wikipedia).


I crossed this Lake sitting in the front seat of our tour bus in the pouring rain, wondering if the driver could actually see anything and crapping myself thinking how the hell do we get across!


Apologies if I have lost some of you, as todays post may not be as true to your heart as it is to mine. In fact I admit that my palms are sweaty just thinking about Lake Pontchartrain. I didn't, at the time, realise the significance of crossing this Lake on this amazing bridge, that it will remain one of the most memorable moments in my life.

This long and winding road has now led me to my pic of the day. A place I have visited, you may know it as the Grand Canyon but with an added extra that I will walk on someday...

Pic of the day .. one day late ..

One child is asleep. That's the one who has been awake since 5.15am this morning. The cranky one. Two are watching Friday Night Football with the hubbster, waiting patiently for what we call the half time report which in essence is some kind of food related treat during - half time. Usually a milky milo and thick peanut butter and honey on bread. Tonight I think it's ginger nut biscuits. They may refuse, who knows.

Next week we should have some news back about our new house roofline. It's in the post apparently. Once that arrives, the hubbster will be drawing up the floorplan and submitting that along with the roofline specs to the engineer to be officially drawn up. I am so excited. We are just that little bit closer to actually living in a house. It's been nearly 5 months since we moved to the farm, and I must admit the time has gone by quickly. But some days I get antsy, I want it done then and there. It takes time, I know, but I am very impatient. It will be worth the wait.

Once the plans are drawn up, we will submit them to council then the business end really starts. We get a builder in to put the frame up in winter and we go from there. In all honestly I don't know how it will all go, but that's the plan.

For the pic of the day, I'm going all cutesy. Enjoy.

Favourite photo day

It's raining. The kids are tearing around the shed, noisy and energetic. Waiting for the hubbster to come home from work so I can disappear and put the washing on, or wash the dishes, or sort out what the heck the kids will wear to school tommorrow. I don't mind, as long as the kids are in bed by Greys Anatomy. I hate bedtime, it always seems to turn into some kind of crazy ****fight where everyone refuses to do what they need to, and everyone yells or cries and my stress level rises. The kids just had some chocolate cake so they are running a bit faster tonight.

I thought I would make Thursday my pic of the day day. Something that I like at the time, or explains the current mood I am in. I have lots of photos to choose from. Heres todays:-


Need I say more. I adore this man. I actually named one of our male guinea fowl after him Antonio the guinea fowl but I don't know which one he is now as they all look like this:-

I think he is the handsome one there smiling at me.
