clumsy

I have always been very clumsy, my family can tell you tales that will leave you in stiches. However 2011 seems to be my year of clumsy. So far this year (18days) I have:

·         Scraped and seriously bruised my arm on NYE crawling down from the top bunk one handed to save a terrified Nat from a Christmas beetle that was flying around our room.

·         Banged my head on open cupboard doors, multiple times.

·         Sliced my finger open cutting an apple.

·         Managed to lock myself out of my house.

·         Left my hair straightener on all day while I was at work – thank god it has a safety time out feature.

·         Burnt myself on the oven getting out dinner.

·         Caught my fingers in draws and torn fingernails off.

·         Bumped into door handles and tripped over cracks in the pavement.

I am literally covered in bruises, bumps, burns and cuts majority I do not know how they happened or where exactly they come from. I either need to be wrapped up in cotton wool or relocated to a padded room. I most definitely need to take more care. I am going to try and take more care.

How is your 2011 looking?

stay back from the edge

I stood on the edge leaning in towards the place I had only just escaped from. I windmilled my arms to try to keep from falling in, I looked around to see who would see me fall into that place again. I told the people around me I was jumping back in safely with a raft tucked around my arms and a support rope tied back to safety. I thought I was safe I thought I couldn't be swept away.

I was swept away emotionally I was letting myself slip from my life raft without really realising it. I made a connection back to that place. I made a mistake of peering in, of consciously falling in.

I need to find my way back to safety.

the little things

Vegemite toast makes me feel better whenever i feel a little down, it also great for a hangover full of vitamin B!, its a perfect snack on salada's and its good in casseroles for a little extra flavour. Today it is cheering me up a little as i am back to work today after a lovely 3 and a bit weeks off.

I prefer my vegemite spread thickly with cheese on top. How do you prefer yours? What is your comfort food?

goodbye 2010

2010 was the year I was single, completed the City 2 Surf & 7 bridges walk, played soccer, went on a south coast drive day, started a blog, failed 365 photo challenge, volunteered for NBCF, watched QLD won their 5th straight origin series, finally bought an alarm clock, continued my love affair with vanilla lattes, moved house once, enjoyed winter ‘the extended remix’, got a wisdom tooth out, worked on 8 projects, saw U2 & Linkin Park, celebrated my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, relived memories in Shoal Bay and loved life with friends and family. Happy New Year!

2011 to me is the year of new beginings and saying yes!!!
