Greetings all,
How am i, glad you asked. Feeling achey, run down & exhausted, even my hair hurts right now, so i'm allowing myself to relax this weekend with little on the 'to do' list other than get through some magazines & maybe some knitting/ lounge craft??
I dragged my lethargic body to school this morning & drove home via the newsagency (stalking Mollie Makes before my subscription commences with issue 5). This Dolls magazine purchase is pure "buying a magazine because of what is on the cover" marketing genius, look at those eyes, she had to come home with me + 2 free magazines!!
Also in 'free magazine with purchase' mode, came these build/ design/ decorate a house choices making 5 magazines for $20!!
They can go on top of this pile of magazines . . . backed up from the school holidays, i had such big plans to relax more & read/ flick/ indulge but gazed lovingly at my husband instead. Feeling like i do right now, they'll all get devoured shortly. I really liked Marion from the little bits of MasterChef i caught, so her cookbook fell into my trolley this week. She's so inviting & friendly, i hope her recipes are basic & my basic level.
I'm not fluey or viral, just tummy achey & extremely tired, i'm not sleeping well?? Argh. My hands are all but paralysed from carpal tunnel & i think i'll have to consider surgery more seriously one day sooner than later.
In the mean time, i've been playing around with some TYPO letters . . .
i've closed my website down (after 10 years) so i can catch my breath & will reopen for a few weeks each season, i can not tell you how much pressure that has lifted. In the 'custom design' section where you can choose a fabric & a product to be made up, i think it might be cute to rename it "Pick&Mix".
How cool is the mirrored 'M'??
Wishing you energised weekends, lucky you for having a spark. Me, i'm telling myself it's ok to recognise i need a rest, we've already had a big week with SRC/ class captain inductions & a certain high schooler has been awarded the Semester 1 Academic Award, very proud!! 5 more weeks until my next husband visit, yahoo. He really is in the Army you know, not prison, it just feels like it sometimes with him interstate & all. Can you see all of this building up on my shoulders??
Maxabella Loves asks what we're grateful for each Saturday, i'm sharing my weekend off from everything other than essential mothering, my children can talk among themselves while i put my feet up. Love Posie
