Was I confusing or confused?


Did I make it all too confusing by listing all the not housework terribly important stuff I had done yesterday?


Today is my actual birthday so thank you all lots of very much for your fabulous birthday wishes you have left throughout the day.


It has been a working day but with just two small people it really wasn't very trying. I spent the morning dancing with a two year old - it involved buttons, toy dogs and Tom Jones and Jools Holland. Then the afternoon letting a four y.o. fester in front of the telly while I shared lunch and a character assassination with two friends.


Oh! May I just take this moment to say how fabulous my brand new toy is and just how much I have forgotten in the years since I owned an SLR!! Would someone please send info on the use of ISO speeds and light values?!?!?!?


I got very spoiled today by so many lovely people.


I can't decide whether my daughter (as I believe) really had this thought when she bought me a box of 'Heroes' bob or is stashing points for next time she is naughty and in BIG trouble. When I unwrapped it this morning she said 'I bought you those b/c you are my hero.'


Aaaaaaw, too sweet huh? I promptly felt a little mean for having made her cry while reciting her tables all the way from the 2s to the 12s last night.


One of my borrowed childer met me at school today with a big smile and a HUGE pink helium balloon. 'Mummy said you wouldn't like this one but I knew you would, that's why I chose it.' How right she was. Despite the cyclonic winds and sharp pointy bits of tree hanging over I proudly carried it out to my car showing off the entire way.









Look what my boy wrote in his card! I nearly had tears!






It has been a fabulous day with lots of love, international phone calls, quite importantly - presents



and most importantly - cake!






Thank you for sharing it with me.





So now on to the exciting part of this post.




It would seem that in just the few minutes that I have been writing TrashCan I have hit 100 posts!



(stolen from www.mamalisa.com)


Who knew that 'googling' the simple but somewhat bizzare phrase 'knitted monkeys' would result in meeting so many lovely real/imaginary friends and people with common interests.


So to thank all y'all for playing here and reading about life here at Trash Towers and for seeing me through the lows and even lowers of Hilltop Malaria I am having a little prize awarding.


Because today is a double celebration (if enough people leave their names) there will be two names drawn from the prize barrels and as I seem to have created some form of confusion over the road at the previous post I will be adding all names from both here and there to the draw that will take place on February 7.


So please say g'day, leave your name below and stop back after Thursday to have a look see in case your name comes up!

  10. No wait .... I'm confused (which isn't difficult at the best of times, plus I'm already sipping a glass of the white grapey stuff - in honour of your birthday + blog centenary, natch) ....

    Is your birthday TODAY (friday 1st feb) or yesterday? Cos I'm sure I left my b'day greeting yesterday (thursday, by my reckoning)and yet your post today says thursday. Are you working on Aussie time perchance?

    Anyhoo. Regardless of all that (& I'm sorry to waffle, really) .... some cool shots with your smashing new toy, TC, and oh! the number of times I've googled knitted monkeys and been pleasantly surprised by the results!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND 100 POSTS!!

    :)
