The week from hell - a Big Day post...

As you all may have read in previous posts, I am getting married soon - in 2 weeks actually...

WHOAH!!

The knock-on effect...

I've received heaps of encouragement from my entire  family and friends over the 7 weeks I've been on 12WBT, but no more so than that given by DD, who as I've mentioned before, is paying for me to do the program, BM by rethinking what sort of things he would normally buy for me as a 'treat', and BFF, just by being a willing and understanding ear as well as giving me odd not so gentle nudge when it's needed.

Meet Josh...

Today is DS's 22nd birthday, so I thought I'd share with you all, a mother's pride.  Her Son.

The Great Caramel Incident...

After sharing my EPIC FAIL with the Spicy Roasted Chickpeas, and receiving heaps of reassuring feedback from everyone, I've decided to share a story that with be catalogued in our family history for generations to come to laugh mercilessly about.

The monkey on my back...

To have a monkey on one's back is to have a huge problem that follows you around, and is very very difficult to get rid of.

My wheels fell off...

Last night the wheels fell off my little red wagon.

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas! nom nom nom...

Last night, after drooling for several few weeks over the Spicy Roasted Chickpea recipe, I decided to make them.

OMG Blogger! Really?...

I don't know what has happened, but Blogger seems to be having a 'moment'...

*WARNING* Depressing wedding post imminent...

There is now only 4 weeks to go until The Big Day.

Extreme ironing...

As part of the prep for Our Big Day - that's what I have decided to call it as I don't like the word 'wedding' when applied to our very rapidly approaching nuptials, see earlier post about pretty young things and meringues - I bought copious amounts of hessian (aka burlap), 25 metres of the stuff in fact!  It will be gracing the tables as runners, the chairs as covers, and whatever else I can think of for it to do.  Useful stuff hessian.

Grapes are the new chocolate...

I admit it, I'm a chocoholic.  I love chocolate.  Chocolate cake, chocolate bikkies, blocks of chocolate, chocolate topping, currently channeling Bubba from Forrest Gump... chocolate ice-cream, chocolate milk, hot chocolate, iced chocolate, chocolate scented candles...  hell, once I even had chocolate scented shower gel, and combined with the kiwi & mango shampoo, I was smelling like a bit of a fruit salad for a while.

A little bit of wisdom...

I've realised it,

now I have to learn the lesson, and put it into practice.

The Blame Game...

It turns out I'm a blamer.

It's a bit of a shock really, as I thought that I pretty much had my baggage handled.  Apart from the whole emotional eating thing...

If Animals Would Eat at McDonalds

Never seen a better Friday Funny.

Off the beaten track...

This post is a little different from my usual, but it can help with your 12WBT exercise and calorie burn...

Hell, it could be your SSS providing you moved it to a Sunday.
