So its been a while since i blogged...
heres the news:
1. I wrote a pretty average seminar on ambition and work and then gave it twice at the MAC conference.
2. The MAC conference was a good chance to get to know so gals from church but it was tiring to be away for the whole weekend. Especially since i had to be up at 6.30am both days and there were lots of technical glitches - my computer decided to die and i needed to buy a new cable-arrggghh.
3. Its Cold!!!!
4. i've been a bit sick on and off and cant decide if i need to stay in bed or just push through...
5. work is very busy at the moment there is a kids club and high tea to organise soon!
6. I did a body attack class last night -oh my gosh! it was sooo hard and i fully expected to lose some weight this morning but no, scales steady...
7. I had a lovely time shopping at DFO yesterday with Alica and Karen, I bought a suit to wear to weddings and a very pretty yellow dress! I need to find somewhere to wear the dress, i cant think of any weddings i'm going to! And the best thing? stuff fit! i could try on any 14 and it fit - so exciting!!
8. I am going to visit my family next week and i cant wait!
9. i am in spending freefall! I so need to stop buying things and save money for my holiday and pay off my credit card...gulp!
10. Umm i think thats all at the moment

not worth it...
so i ate 2 mini bavarians and a wheel of cheese last friday, and a whole bunch of other stuff over the long weekend. Often i ended up feeling sick afterwards - like after the 15 cookie man cookies on monday! And then i got on the scales and it was scary! and you know what the food wasnt that good and wasnt worth the pain of working it off at boot camp, netball and the gym. if i hadnt done it i would be pleased with the scales.
ah well. I was all keen to walk to work from dropping my car off for a service - except it was raining and i am tired. Boot camp tonight and whole bunch of work to do today. working on a seminar on ambition. so bring on the theology of work today! All work is valuable to God! so will we be working in heaven? I think so......which is a new thought for me, i need to work (ha ha) on that!
I got some aged care work yesterday and it was fun! some lovely clients and i got to pray with one of them. I now know where to get the best meat and seafood in Eastwood too!
Ok thats all for now!

Weekly update!
Well this blog is really turning into a weekly update on my life....hmmm I should try to be more profound and stuff!
This week was a good yet hormonal week!
Boot camp and Zumba continue well and fun but Alicia and I may have eaten a lot of ice cream cake after Zumba last night - but i maintain it was almost alicias birthday so yeah....
My lovely friend rachelle has left the country to spend a year in Israel doing post doctoral research..waaah but before she left we had a fabo lunch at luxe in newtown it was yummmm! and them I caught up with some friends in newtown :) Good thing i am visiting Rachelle in Israel in october as part of my trip!
It was 3 months yesterday until i go on my holiday and i am very excited! Its also 2 months until the city to surf -eek!! so much training to do! I am now up to week 4 of the couch to 5K program - must get going quickly!
The scales were unkind this morning it might have been a result of fridays blow out! I was feeling really a bit sick and gross and when i got home i ate a small wheel of brie, 2 mini bavarians and a bag of twisties...eeeekkkk!then i went to bed and stayed there for 12 hours! ah well back on the straight and narrow today!
I went to a wedding at my old church in freshwater on saturday and it was lovely - great to see so many lovely familiar faces and a very lovely couple get married.
Monday was also a nice day - i did the bay walk in the sun - i even ran a bit, and then some shopping at Birkenhead point and a little sit down before alicia and i went and saw the A team at the movies - i really enjoyed it! it was a bit of fun and after watching far too many romantic comedies it was a a welcome relief!
Today i am feeling very sleep and unmotivated which is shame as there is lots of work to do and its only going to get worse - i see the light in about August maybe!
as they say - one more into the fray!

In other news after Zumba tonight my lovely friend Alicia and I had some excellent japansese in West Ryde! Who know that there was good food next to a petrol station in west ryde? We had freshly made sushi and katsu and lovely noodles! THe west ryde hotel is also really nice - $10 cook your own steaks :)

my newly 91 year old nan had a hernia operation today, dearly me! she is a tough old thing - she didnt want to tell mum about it, cos she would worry!!! this is the nan who just got out of hopsital after breaking some toes in a fall!
I went and saw streetdance 3D today - it was pretty lame but there saw some lovely scenery let the reader understand :) and it totally made me want to be buff and a good dancer - pity i have no coordination as i showed at zumba :)
I would really like to be asleep now but i was too cold!! its really cold in sydney tonight!! And then i got something stuck in my eye and it was too irritated to shut - boo! maybe in a few hours, arrggghhhh!
I bought some Jarrah Chocolait and drinking it reminds me of being a teenager at home in Old Bar having a cup with mum and dad and the sisters, ah the old days! big love to the family!
i really must take some more photos for the blog its a bit dull without it!

That was the week that was...
Its over let it go, 52 times a year...
I remember a song that went like that from the radio when i was but a young thing :)
Anyway time to give a weekly wrap up.
Last weekend i went to a lovely friends house warming and ate my own body weight in soft cheese - oh there was some lovely double or was it triple brie - oh so good!!
After that i was off to Tablenosh for a French feast! Leila did a fabulous job and the desserts were a real high point! Creme brulee soooo good! and cheese fondue and a meat dish for main! so yum!! i highly recommend going - check out the website for dates!
I was a little sleepy for church on sunday but had a great time, i lead the 8am service and that was fun, the kids went well at Kids church and then the rain held off long enough for me to go for a run - up to week 3 of couch to 5k! Then i ended up watching Blackpool because it had David Tennant in it. Still not sure what i think of the series - its also got a bit too much sex in it for me but David was good and singing in drama is always a good thing!
We also said the athenasian Creed at 7pm cos it was trinity sunday and greg was preaching onthe trinity. I love that creed the rhythm and profundity of it! but of course many dont like it cos its so long!
This week also i had monday off and slept in A LOT! it was great, went to the gym to do some more Couch to 5K and a bit of shopping. Sadly Alicia was sick so couldnt make it to Zumba but i went and had a great time :)
Tuesday was a fairly normal day - i had fun trying to teach the kids how to look up bible passages and the like. the one thing that did happen was that i left work to go to a drs appt which i assumed was at his rooms in wahroonga - but when i got there (just on time for the appt) i realised that it was in North Sydney - so missed the appt! What a dill ! Hopefully i can blame my hormones or something :) But i made it to boot camp only to hurt my knee a little doing lunges!
Wednesday and thursday I was at a training course in the city learning how to run a course to prepare people for marriage and enrich their marriages. It was a fun bunch of people but by the end i really did feel odd as the only single person there! I have my first wedding in 6 weeks and am interviewing the couple next week :)
i am so glad i dont commute everyday the trains were late and there are SO many people at town hall station! blerch.
Wednesday night i had a ministry couple from up the road to dinner - they are friends from Credo and College so that was fun and we had the nicest mud cake and pork Chops with chickpea stew.
Thursday night caught the train to boot camp and we trained in the rain - we are so hard core! But i am feeling to today. The good news is that i managed to see a physio about my knee and get some stretches etc to help.
Today i am really sleepy but looking forward to a busy weekend :)
Youth stuff this afternoon and then some LOVELY friends for dinner hurrah!
Sat i am off to the city again for an SRE meeting and then birthday lunch for a friend and more friends for dinner! I am feeling very blessed with my friends, its great to have a supportive community especially as a single person :)
Now if only the rain would go away and the nights would go for 12 hours then all would be well!
Back to it then!
