Bride to be and the social whirl.......

Goodness gracious me, I am engaged! Spent three days in near shock after Min's Dad and my on/off me amour of 6 years or so took me completely by surprise by popping the question the other night whilst having the traditional after dinner drinky out the back.....think I surprised myself more by actually saying yes! My mother was very excited, as were bro & sis in law and the friends, colleagues and family I've managed to inform thus far....think they were all (not so secretly) hoping we'd eventually get our act together. Its a big move for Linds, he's had a very bacheloresque life for quite a bit now...
Anyway, we took the girl to the beach for bit thisarvo and managed to find a suit jacket that fitted him perfectly in less than five minutes at the local op shop, and I found a pair or witchy looking dark burgundy size 11's (yes, I am a heifer!). Now to drop quite a few dress sizes by November 14th. We're scoping out Brookfield Winery tommorrow morning as a venue. Want to keep it sweet, antiquey & family oriented. My colleague Meleah's 5 year old Meg is to be my flower girl, other roles t.b.a.
so now I have my nephew and brother 's birthdays (May 27th & 30th), Min's baptism (June 7th), Spence's name day up in Sheffield (June 20th) our engagement party (June 27th) and am back at work two graveyards a week from the 29th of May too, along with all the non work type work as well (which Linds has been a huge help with lately) & wedding preps.....sheiser....how did my simple life get so complicated all of a sudden.
Still, a very happy munckin right now, and the cat does not have the cream, I do!!!

houston....we have pulling up

I must say I've been a nit lax putting the side up on the cot but I just went in to get madam and this is what I saw.....needless to say, we now obviouls have pulling up skills.

found this one at docwitchys site, interesting

You Are the Third Eye Chakra

You are insightful and spiritual. You trust your intuition. You are deeply philosophical. You spend a lot of time thinking and theorizing. You are wise beyond your years. People turn to you for direction and hope. You are a clear thinker. You often know what you want to do and how you're going to do it.

What Chakra Are You?

poem

My muse has been hiding for a few years now……….
But every now and then
She pokes a wary eye around my doorway
Or I catch a glimpse of her
Heading the other way down my street
Me with my pram, she with her glamorous
Identity,
My perverse and taunting doppelganger
Gave birth to a girl called power
Gave birth to my/her future self
Am almost jealous of her pure potential
Of all that lies ahead
All the joy and heartbreak
Things to feel & see for the first time
How good would it be’ to rewind?
But I am her willing slave
Would I make the choices differently?
If I had the chance again?
Would I just ignore the man/the yearning?
We are raw materials
Cell and blastocyst
taste and quality tested, packaged and marketed
We only choose which way to walk
In the shoes that are given to us
Today I walked out of probation
Into perdition
And he’s still driving my car
