Craft Designs Online

Well, I’ve made more updates to the website, including the About Us page, and I’ve started emailing designers to ask if they are interesting in selling their designs through CDO…. My heavens the nerves are amazing!!! I sent off the first fifty emails and my hands started shaking! Well, I decided this morning that I was going to have a productive day and it’s certainly been that!

Now to go and try to sleep with huge surges of adrenalin….. probably should have sent the emails in the morning when I had the whole day to calm down….

Short Black…

No, not coffee, my hair! I had it dyed back to my natural colour and cut short. Well, it was supposed to be my natural colour, but it’s actually a bit darker. And shorter than I’ve ever had it before. I really like it. A friend called it my pixie look! LOLOL! It’s much easier to wash and look after, but it feels so weird! And geez my neck gets cold now!

She’s going to change her surname!!!!

Yay!!!! I spoke to Dian’s biological dad today and he’s happy to sign the form to let Dian legally change her surname!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! He and I haven’t spoken for over five years, and I’ve procrastinated calling him about this for the last year or more. What shocked me was that (a) he rang back when I left a message asking him to, and (b) he was quite nice about it!

We won’t be telling Dian about this until it’s final though, he’s let me down before and I’m not going to get her hopes up and risk hurting her again.

All alone now…

Eddie flew out this afternoon for five weeks on an army course up in QLD. The house feels really empty and quiet without him. It’s gotta be psychological, he’s the quietest person in this household, but it feels quiet without him here! He’s arrived there safely, rang me when he got there. Said his room is pretty shabby, not a really great place. Ok, I’m in tears again just thinking about it! Cried last night, cried this morning, cried when he left and now again….. I’ve been trying not to let Dian see me upset because she’s pretty upset too. She’s a real daddy’s girl and she misses him already.

Hope the five weeks goes quickly for us all.

I hate tonsillitis

I don’t have it, Dian does AGAIN!!!! This has been ongoing since she was about three or younger. It flares up several times a year, her teeth are chalky because of the amount of antibiotics that she was on while they were forming and I’m just fed up with it!!!! She’s back on antibiotics again, and, joy o joy, I get to wake both her and myself up so I can give her a dose at 2.00am! Grrrrrrr……

An interesting thought about blogging

It’s a funny thing, a blog is supposed to be an online diary, or at least that’s what they were for originally. But the thing is, I can’t pour my heart out on here, my deepest feelings. I can’t vent about people because they might read it, I can’t whinge about someone who may have hurt/ignored/disrespected/upset me because so many of my friends and family read it! And that sort of thing shouldn’t be public.

So, are you all wondering what’s happened and who I want to blog about now????????? LOLOL!

Dian’s first driving experience

We were all at the in-laws last weekend for Eddie’s 40th birthday (Happy birthday honey!!!). They’re on a property with lots of machinery, big boy’s heaven! And little girl heaven as well, Eddie took Dian for a drive on the huge mower, and she even managed to cut the grass!

Yummy Yummy

Cooked the BEST dinner tonight! Salsa roast…. One big rump roast into the slow cooker, tipped two jars of salsa over it and left it to cook all day! The meat was literally falling apart! Dian cleared her plate!!!!!!! And I even had seconds of the meat. That may well be a first time ever for me…. There’s enough left for another meal too. Mmmmmmmmmm
