Friday Five from Heather. What

Friday Five from Heather.

- What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? A raw whitebait when I was a kid. Wriggly and live.

- Name one (material) thing you can’t live without. It’s hard to pick one thing. I would probably say my computer

- Name something you’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have time for. Read all my midwifery books without the pressure of assignments and stuff. I always seem to get sidetracked to reading fiction instead.

- What outrageous thing do you wish you had the nerve to do? Parachuting!

- How do you plan to spend your weekend? House cleaning, shopping, and more shopping… Wishing we had a time window to go to the Lord of the Rings. We nearly went to it after midnight last night in the theatre revamped especially for the Australasian premiere.

A little bit of Christmas

I have put a little bit of Christmas on my entrance page. The first time I have ever done something remotely festive with my site. It’s not that I don’t celebrate the annual events, but rather I don’t see much point in rearranging loads of stuff just to show netizens that I celebrate holidays.

A blogging mess

Now I’ve screwed up the text and the headings…but enough for now. I will work on it later tonight.

Dave Does the Blog in this entry details how to get your own blog entries editable. This is real handy for those times when I am checking my previous entries and the links and find a spelling mistake or the link is broken. Thanks Dave.

Thank you Karla.

Did you all know I live in Wellington, New Zealand? I am SO looking forward to seeing the movie!!

why web journals suck: an

why web journals suck: an essay certainly reminded me about my purpose for journalling. Does mine suck?

My original intention was to incorporate site updates and family updates. This blog still performs that purpose. I also like to showcase my abilities because the people in my life don’t seem to care. I do get recognition online and it makes me glow.

Am I worried about people reading my blog? No, because the really personal stuff goes in my paper journal. I also write paper journals for my children. It certainly has a different feel and approach to the expression.

Am I doing this because I’m into drama, depressed, an exhibitionist, lonely? Probably all of the above. Isn’t that what most online journallers are about?

Will I keep doing it? I certainly will. I don’t know whether anyone finds my writing helpful or even interesting…but it’s still here. Maybe the most important thing is that this journal is an avenue of my expression.

Yes, I know I am up way past my bedtime. I just found a friend’s blog titled From the Depths. Unfortunately I can’t rant about my family because they are all online and might read…well, maybe only little rants. Nice to see you sister =)

The flower was too cutesy

The flower was too cutesy so I’ve changed the design again. My site updates are going well. Nearly finished with the midwifery section. I just have screeds of Reflective Journal entries to type up. I must get around to designing my own blog template some day…lol

Not long now until Christmas.

Not long now until Christmas. This year will be financially tight, but we will manage. Just means we won’t spoil the kids as much as we usually do.

When Drin got up this morning he asked where the Fly Lady had gone as I hadn’t done a household spruce up. Hah! I wasn’t in the mood and it doesn’t matter. It will all still be there when I am in the mood.
