Last post for 2007

I'm really looking forward to 2008. I'm getting married to the man I love... the only person in the whole entire world who knows everything about me, yet loves me regardless. I don't know what else next year has in store for me, but I have a good feeling about it. Lately I've been getting my creatvity back and have started taking photo's and making things again. Next year I want to dance and do all the things we've talked about but not done. I want to exercise more and worry less. I want to make new friends and make an effort to keep in contact with old friends. I want to dance around in a tutu and play singstar. I want to go home to my family more often. And most of all, I want to be happy all year.

New teeth

I'm half way along the journey to my new smile. Here's some before and after pics. I go again tomorrow afternoon to get finished. I'm happy with the improvement so far. :)

Again it has been so long since I last wrote! And of course, so much has happened...

The wedding is only 3 months and 1 day away now... I can't believe it. Mum and I started on the invites on the weekend. I'm planning on sending them out in early January so that gives me a bit of time to finish them off.

Terry had an accident at work almost 3 weeks ago and broke all 5 toes on his left foot. He's so lucky he was wearing steel caps (which was what actualy broke his toes) otherwise his foot would have been crushed. He's having an operation tomorrow to screw a piece of his nuckle back into his big toe. I know he'll be fine but he's pretty worried because he watches too many medical shows and has a fair idea of what's involved in the surgery!

My Great Nanna Zanker passed away a week ago today. It was a huge shock as she was healthy and still living at home by herself. She just went to bed on Thursday night and when the home help lady came on Friday, she was gone. The funeral was on Tuesday and then we went back to her place afterwards. It was a very hard, emotional day and sad knowing that was probably the last time I'll see her house.

On a happier note; I'm getting some cosmetic work done on my teeth next Friday. Nothing too drastic, just getting a veneer on my "peg" tooth and getting another tooth filled out a bit and getting a filling. I'm excited about getting my tooth fixed but also scared about the filling. I hate needles in my mouth! Well, I hate them anywhere, but in my mouth the worst!

I can't believe it's only 2 and a bit weeks until christmas. I'm usually so organised but this year I'm not at all. I did most of my christmas shopping yesterday and still have a couple of things to get.

I joined a gym a couple of weeks ago. I've had one session with a personal trainer (which was so hard I nearly vomitted at the end) and I've also done an aqua aerobics class. I'm hoping to go back to do another aqua class tonight and fingers crossed I'll go 3 times a week from now on. There just always seems to be so much on lately and I'm always busy after work! I do have the option of going at 6am... but I just don't think I could bring myself to do it!

Well that's enough for one blog I think! Hopefully I'll write again sooner than last time!

I'm back!

It's been soooooo long since I last wrote! I've been so busy but also feeling really crappy so I've only been doing what I have to. This IVS has really knocked me around. For a month or so there, I felt absolutely shocking. My boss kept saying how pale and in pain I looked. Thankfully, I did get better (for a week!!) but then it flared up again. I'm feeling a lot better today so hopefully it stays this way! :) I actually didn't realise how good I was feeling last time until I went downhill again. So anyway, that's why I haven't been around much.

Today is my last day of work until next Wednesday because I'm going to Melbourne to go bridemsaid dress shopping! I can't wait! I'm also so excited that I get to spend my birthday with my mum and best friends. It's not very often I get to do that these days. Then on Sunday we're going to see Joel's band play at a charity concert. I'm so excited about seeing him again. And to hear him sing! I'm going to video tape it so if the quality is good I'll send you a copy on DVD nan. :)

Well I'd really better get back to work. There's so much left to do before I go. I always seem to leave things until the last second... I still haven't even finished packing! haha I'll write in here again when I get back to let everyone know how dress shopping went!

Earrings

Here are all the earrings I've made. I LOVE the first pair and the last pair, just not sure about the other two. I might sell them and make another set of the two I like. Plenty of time to figure that out!

On my way to the new me!

So far I've lost 6kg!!

The first photo was taken at the Big Day Out on Feb 2nd this year and the second photo was taken today, April 24th. This is the first time I've put photo's of me back then next to me now and it's a huge shock! I knew I'd lost weight but I couldn't see it that much until now!

I'm not sure how much more I want to lose. I'll just keep going until I'm happy. It's really just my belly I need to work on now and I need to tone up now. Everything is all floppy now since losing weight! haha.

Tired

Thank goodness it's Friday! I haven't been sleeping well this week and I have no idea why but it's made me soooooo tired! My tummy has been really sore again for the last couple of days too. I thought it was all better! =( I'm really looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow! After that I'm meeting up with a friend to do some shopping. I need some new pants because none of mine fit any more (thanks to losing 6kg! yay!!) then I think I'll go home and work on the jewellery I'm making for the wedding. It's hard to find time to do it because I want it to be a surprise for Terry but he's always there! haha. He has to work on Saturday so I'll make the most of the time I have! Then tomorrow night we might go to the movies. I really want to see 'Meet the Robinsons'. It looks hilarious! And I've still got 2 tickets I need to use that I got for Christmas from work. At this stage, I think Sunday will be a pretty quiet day because it's the only day Terry has off. Here's a picture of the earring I made last night for one of my bridesmaids.
