Lady cave. (That just sounds so wrong.)

But seriously, I DO have my very own SheDen. Today I had delivered a cute little blue couch we found for $50 at the second hand shop. It even came with matching cushions. Now it is sitting in my art/craft/tv/xbox room with my furry little baby animal toys draped all over it. (Yes I have stuffed baby animal toys. Wanna make something of it?). I will explain the toys in a minute. 
I have my little laptop desk set up and also a shelving unit that gives me more storage space and a new place for the tv and xbox to live (replacing the big old bulky tv unit). Oh an I also have the wardrobe back. No sharing with the linen!
I almost feel guilty about having such an amazing room all to myself. Hubby got himself a nice big desk he has set up in our bedroom, so he is taken care of to.

Moby seems happy now. 
We did hit a little bit of a rough patch when he went missing for 24 hours. I was a mess, Hubby was freaking out and poor son was carrying around a little piece of Moby's fur, crying his eyes out. But just on evening, the damned cat wandered back like nothing had happened. I could have strangled him for making us worry so much! He stays inside at night now and has a kitty playhouse outside. Not that he seems interested in it. He likes to lay, stretched out, right in the middle of the yard. *rolls eyes*..cats... This afternoon I caught him racing around the yard like a maniac. Just for the fun of it.

So the baby animals... every time we go somewhere, like a zoo or fun park, I buy myself a little souvenir, in the form of a stuffed toy baby animal. I don't have a heap. So far I have, a white tiger from Dreamworld, a polar bear from Seaworld, a whale from Hervey Bay and a meerkat from Dubbo Zoo. We are thinking of going to Underwater World soon so I might pick up something there. Hoping for an Otter or Seal :) Hey I am allowed to have odd little quirks. It's what makes us not boring :)

MOBY IS HOME!

So yesterday we were finally able to pick up Moby from his extended farm stay. He stayed inside for the night and is now comfortable with being outside. At the moment he is exploring the back yard. He has a nice big yard. A tree to climb. Boxes to hide in. Gardens to lay in. Sand to poop in. Birds to look at (they don't like him, he gets squawked at whenever he ventures out). He has also found out that he can sit on my craft room window sill and stare at me. Oh and a family to LOVE him :) What more could a kitty ask for?
So, when do I come back inside?

When life bites...

Heyho everyone. Wow I have not been on here for a while.. No excuses really, just purely didn't feel like it, was too busy, moved house, lost internet... Well, I guess they are excuses...make of them what you will. I probably wouldn't have even come back if a certain Ant friend of mine didn't suggest it. 

Anyway, since I last wrote we have moved into a house. Still renting, not by the ocean any more but still in the same area. It's a nice house, more room for us and our ever growing soon-to-be teenager. Hubby has finally got his shed and I have finally got my own art room. YAY! Actually it's my Art, computer, xbox room. But it's all mine. Oh I do have to share it with the linen but it stays in the cupboard, so that doesn't really count. Also I get Moby back because this house is Kitteh Friendly! BOOYAH!
Yes Moby is still holidaying on the farm. Apparently he is having a grand old time, and has taken a liking to herding cattle. Who would of thought my cat was a cowcat?

You know what I DID realise when we were moving? As I hauled the 100th box of our crap down the four flights of stairs I realised I am getting too old for this shit. I am going to be the big four-zero next year and I do not wish to be moving boxes and lounges and fridges. Hubby has finally admitted that moving ourselves is a very, very stupid idea and next time we shall hire movers.  HUZZAH! 

I am writing a book. Actually it's a fanfic based on an Xbox game I play so it will never be published. The friendly folks on my forum site seem to love it though so it's encouraged me to continue. So far I have written 40,000 words.

Yesterday was my all time favourite day of the year (apart from xmas and anniversary and birthday and all that stuff). What was it? I hear you ask excitedly.... It was CRAFT SHOW DAY!!! *sigh* Once again I battled my way through old ladies to hunt and gather more crafty supplies. Those old dears are ruthless! Anyway I have not taken photos yet so you will just have to wait on the edges of your seats for those. 

You're doing aren't you? Sitting there waiting for me to post pics... yeah I can tell.. ;) 

Now that I think about it, considering the length of time between this post and my last, I wouldn't if I were you. Maybe go for a coffee or something, do some banking, shampoo the dog... cause you never know when I'll be back again. heck I don't even know that myself....

Sir David Attenborough

So gutted with the news today that Sir David has had to cancel his Australian tour. He has undergone emergency surgery for a pacemaker. You all know how excited I was about seeing my hero. I am so disappointed. 
But, as you also know my Hubby has recently had a pacemaker put in, so I know full well the hard road Sir David has ahead of him. I can only wish him a speedy recovery and hopefully he can reschedule his tour, after he is feeling well again. 
I am yet to tell our son as he is away on school camp.. he will be just as disappointed. :(
