He was so well behaved at the Vet and was quiet all afternoon while they kept him in for observation. When I walked into reception and spoke he heard my voice from the other room and started whining. My heart swelled gigantor right there.
Awww my lovely little pup
While "he" (haha just kidding puppy boy) spent the day at the Vet I had a bloggy coffee stopover at our usual hang the Coffee Co-op in Addington. Met some new faces. Scored a big bag of baking. ooh yeah! Miriam rocks. Realised as I was walking out that I totally should have brought a load of washing with me! They have a laundry and my laundry at home is still currently machine-less grrr. Wanna smell my month old sheets???? I know you do. Got my first little start on some Christmas shopping on the way home. Ugh not loving that much. Do you know how many toys four children and twelve years of parenting can accumulate? Heaps. So I'm pretty much refusing to buy any more. Mean aye. But if you could see the state of my kids bedrooms and the mess of unplayed with toys in there, you'd understand why. I really want to make a positive effort to make this Christmas more than just about stuff. But yeah, going to really have to work at it too.

| hmmm I FELT like I looked better than that today. obviously not. ha. plus I also smelt like dog..sorry J and M sitting next to me! |
Everyone ate my cake without eggs on Goosemans Birthday. It was fine. Just for that night only though. So big newsflash food allergic peeps....Dana's Chocolate cake CAN be made eggless. Woohoo. And you're welcome ;)
I saw this top today after my coffee meet up.
No I didn't buy it even though it was only $12. Cos you know, that would be lame.
Even I know that.
Plus it doesn't even have my url on it so kinda pointless.

Ha ha thought I was the only one who did month old sheets! Totally agree with the T-shirt...so pointless without the URL ;-)
HA love that t-shirt - surely you could put the URL on it with a fabric marker and add some geeky glasses on the girl!! Great to catch up. I agree with you about too much stuff - maybe ask the kids to doa trade me series and donate the profits to gettting more expensive presents???
... and if it had your URL ... ?
hahahaha re the tshirt
and the month old sheets
sorry I'm not closer or you could pop over and use my machine and then we could have coffee and I wouldn't mind if you smelled like Dog.
PS round about this time of year is a great season for toy-culling.
Last year I made the kids go through their stuff and anything they hadn't played with, or that couldn't be handed on, got packaged up and given to Auckland City Mission. The kids came with me to drop the stuff off and i felt way better about Christmas after I opened my kids eyes to the fact that NOT EVERYBODY gets Christmas presents.
I am with you on wanting to make it all more than the presents and STUFF
I really did try last year but kind of overdid it, in the end it was the simple stuff like reading them stories and wrapping pressies together that was meaningful - the talks we had while doing it.
This year I want to make Christmas a bit more kiwiana, instead of the santa/snow/reindeer stuff. I'm collecting some driftwood and pinecones, gonna make me some pinnable decorations!
Yeah I saw that tee shirt at the warehouse and jokingly suggested that the Whangarei bloggers need a uniform. They were so keen!
With you on the toy crap. Im trying to go for variety. One outfit of Clothes, a book, or new felts...rather than toys
I would have got the t-shirt I think.... maybe. : )
Turn it into a cushion...
I am not particularly creative at the moment.
I want bloggy coffee.
lol totally laughed out loud at the last comment.
I can't believe you didn't buy it.
Wash your sheets.
i want that t-shirt!
I swear toys "get it on" and multiply at night when we're asleep! I am forever culling and yet the mounds of rubbish toys remain....
WHY didn't you get that T-shirt???? You would have rocked it!!!
Saw that t shirt too. Kind of tempted. But maybe a bit naff?
I'm with you on the toy and Xmas front. Making really comprehensive lists this year. Being very child specific.
Well................ it'll start out that way anywho :-) xx
Know the too many toys feeling. How do they get so much stuff. Our plan, sell 90%, put the other 10% in a shipping container and move across the ditch lol
Hahahhaa "he"
I should use that one on every guy i know that's had a vasectomy...you think i could get punched in the face before noon?
