Woo Hoot Wednesday

Now, its confusing, I type on Wednesday but the header will say the date is Tuesday, thats cos its an American site right?

Firstly, our team drew again at Netball last night 14 all, not bad for a bunch who mostly havent played in years ...

Secondly, hmmmm I gained 1 kg :o( Overall, am still down .8 kg.

Am now back home after housesitting for a friend and his four legged babies, have always wanted a little dog, a sydney silky, they are the sweetest wee things. After looking after Lexi for two weeks, am now off the idea of a little dog, they find all the holes under the fence and escape. Little bugger! Am happy to report she did keep coming back, but man, did I have kittens every time she did a runner.

Other than that, havent got a lot to report, I did get crafty at Tanya's the other night, but am yet to complete my lo's, thats a job for tommorrow night.

Must dash, am off to visit a friend while I'm on my lunch break.

I've been tagged ...

Woo Hoot Wednesday

I've several things to be woo hooting about this week, firstly I lost 1.8 kg, as part of getting active, have dropped sugar, fizz and sweets from my diet. So thats a good start ...

Next, our netball team won last night, 12-15, we played against a team of 15-16 yr olds, who we thought were going to thrash us, and they didn't. Woo Hoot!

And lastly, I have been accepted to become a Youth Mentor, it's all very exciting and scary, I get paired up with my student on July 20th. Did I mention it's a boy? I can't wait!

I've been in the wars ...

I've been busy with training to become a youth mentor with Project K, have had training a couple of weekends ago and again Fri night this week and all day Saturday, so I missed playing the gorgeous snow. I hope theres more snow to come, I'm a big kid and would love to play in it, given the chance. Anyway, I digress, Project K is an awesome concept, it pairs trained mentors with one of 12 students per programme for a 12 month period. If I am accepted, it will give me an opportunity to learn and grow, as a mentor and as a person. I see lots of challenges ahead, and a lot of fun. Yesterday we were trying to figure out how to put 12 people and their bodies thru a hula hoop as quickly as we could, and I managed to cop a knee in my eye, and now I've got an awesome black eye, looks like I've gone a few rounds in a boxing ring. It was funny at the time, but it hurt like hell ... the bruising is still coming out. I went to Riccarton Mall today and got a LOT of weird looks.

Worth the wait?

This layout of my nephew Nathan has been a while in the making, I put it together Friday night at Tanya's crop night, for this weeks challenge at stampinscrap. I started it last year but it wasnt a happening thing, so was shelved. I saw Tanya's take on the challenge and thought "I've got that paper", and just the right pics. Nathan was about 11 when these pics were taken. Russell and Nathan have been going duckshooting on the first weekend in Duckshooting Season for many years now.

If I were to win lotto ...

I've always wanted a Harley Davidson, and if I ever to win Lotto, thats what I'd want to buy myself, course it would have to have training wheels. I spotted this little beauty in Akaroa on my last visit, and immediately saw a layout in the making,

It's official ... I'm a slack blogger
