Tails’ Blography

All my posts lately seem such a tedium to write. I sit and think about stuff I should write about, but when the time comes to put finger to keyboard, I just dont feel like it anymore.

So a quick post, just to keep y’all updated.

Did some gardening this weekend. It was early evening on Sunday and the weather was gorgeous. Pulled out some grass runners in the bed and tossed up all the soil. Looks a little neater now.
Played some Sims 3 for the first time in ages! My sim is a bit of a tart and flirted with a guy she was supposed to be investigating as well as another guy she met through work. They both had girlfriends which they cheated on. My sim admitted to cheating and the guy broke it off, so she continued on with the other guy and he’s since moved in and they’ve purchased a small house (ala ‘motherlode’ of course lol)
Iso’s still pushing on, but the headtilt has worsened but she’s eating and being strong. I love this rat so!
Since researching healthy foods for my girls, I came across a book called The Scuttling Gourmet which I have ordered! It should arrive on the 9th (latest) so yay! So excited!
We’re redecorating our kitchen, going to paint one wall a nice red colour, the rest yellow (if I feel up to it). We bought a shelf to put up where I can put my cookbooks so they’re off the countertops, giving more space and a cleaner looking kitchen area.
We’re currently looking for a cabinet and a tv table for our lounge, and I’m looking for a table for the kitchen (M hates this latter idea for some reason).
And for those who are on WeightWatchers, I found an AWESOME food blog with WW points (both PLUS and REGULAR). I do hope you check it out, WW member or not: SkinnyTaste.com

Thats about it, I recon the only thing left to leave you are some pics from our Engagement Shoot that I won! What do you think? We got so many on the DVD, we’re going to print some and hang them on our walls in our flat

Mmm French coffee!

About a month ago the bf and I bought a dishwasher. I can hear some of you saying, “welcome to the wonderful world of technology!” or “sheesh, only now?” but let me tell you, I always hated dishwashers because when I was younger, it was my sister’s duty to pack the dishwasher and mine to unpack. Unfortunately the dishwasher always needed unpacking at the most inopportune times. Like when I was just about to watch TV, or just about to read a book, or go out or something. Mom was pretty strict that the dishwasher was not to sit with dishes inside it for days, so it had to be unpacked within an hour or so of it being done.

Anyway. So finally I caved and said, “ok, let’s buy a dishwasher” and we did. I can happily say I’m a changed woman! I love the dishwasher! And the best part, I get to pack it and the bf unpacks it! Yay! For weeks now, I’ve only had to do a select few dishes, as some things we dont put in the dishwasher. For example, knives from our Nikkai Titanium set cant go in because the gold stripe will fade off, as well as our highball glasses as the patterns are fading. But it’s been bliss, not having to wash dishes. Pure bliss.

Until it broke. Yes, not even a month old and it leaks water onto the floor. Its not the tap, we checked, it’s definately the dishwasher. So now, we cant use it because water is coming in from the tap but not entering the washer itself. The good news is they’re coming on Monday or Tuesday to look at it, since it’s still under warranty but the bad news is, as I type, I try not to think about the load of dishes we had to unload from the dishwasher that are now sitting in my kitchen waiting to be washed. Yes, you’re probably pulling a face and saying, “eww!” but I just cant bring myself to go back to washing dishes. To think, I survived years without a dishwasher, but now a week of not having one sucks!

It just sucks! I’ve become spoilt haha.
