Karen's Journey

Wow its Saturday evening already! Where has the day gone?? Okay I guess since I didn't get up until about 10.30am this morning make the day shorter than normal! LOL But it was nice to sleep in and then just lay in bed with Steph :) And as heaps of people have said to me - make the most of it before our wee girl arrives! So I think we will start enjoying some lay-in's and some quality time together over the next few months. Though on saying that I am not a big fan of lay-in's especially on nice days as I feel like I am wasting the day but will see how I go :) Even one every now and then will be nice.

So yes, after finally have some breakfast about 11, we headed up to the library where I got a "Pregnancy for over 35" and a couple of light reading books as well. Then it was off to to do the groceries, then home for some home made BLT's for lunch. Jude's mum rung me as they were down for the weekend and we had a good chat and are hoping to get up to their place sometime in the next few weeks. I then headed down to Rachel's place to check out a highchair she has for sale - its so cool so will talk it over some more with Steph before making a decision as we have been thinking about getting one of those highchairs that fit onto your dining chairs which are a great idea when space is limited like it is at our place. But it was great having a chat to Rachel and meeting Reece (her elder son) and also her husband Andrew.

Home again, and got into some baking... have been hanging out to make a chocolate Slice which Mum used to make years ago and I then used to make it once old enough to do baking. It has always been a family favourite and as I seem to have a craving for things with chocolate and coconut in them I thought that this recipe would be ideal to make. Hasn't turned out quite the same as all those years ago but it is still yummy!!! Then made a batch of Raspberry muffins so thats the baking sorted for this week. I have been a bit slack on the baking front the last couple of weekends and believe it or not I had actually missed doing it and also missed having something homemade in my lunch box during the week.

Now just blobbing out before cooking up some nachos for tea tonight before we head out to a 4oth tonight. Sounds like I may be the only sober one there but hey that can be even more fun at times - must remember to take our camera with us!

Tomorrow, I am working and will probably head into work about 9.30ish and evenagise myself being there until late afternoon from what L has told me. L worked today (and will be working tomorrow as well) and rung me and told me what a slow process it is as we have to change three screens for every update we do.

But anyway, best I get moving and organise some tea etc before heading out tonight... hope you are all having a great weekend and enjoying the sunshine :) Catch ya all later
