I’ve just picked up a pretty, simple summer dress, exactly what I was after for my wedding, on sale for $15 bucks!
I wasn’t even planning on a wedding dress, in fact I was planning on going as low-key as shorts & singlet, but our intimate, casual wedding of 10 suddenly blossomed into a semi-intimate affair of 35 or so, just of immediate family.
Seems we had completely forgotten to factor in Marty’s dad (+ stepmum, siblings, nieces & nephews). Very careless (& embarrassing!).
So I was
gently persuaded (by my mum/ SIL/ MIL/ friends/ anyone else who has decided to give me their 2cents) that a nice frock wouldn’t go astray.
It is, as they say, the only time I’ll be doing this, so why not, right?!
So I’m pretty thrilled to have found the perfect thing piss-cheap, & not have to go browsing during the Christmas hype season.

I have, however, failed to be decisive enough to just choose a damn Christmas present for Kaia, meaning I can either do the trip with tantruming toddler in tow again (oh you better believe I am
that mum with my kid screaming facedown on the floor in the middle of the aisle because I said I would not buy him another ball to add to his 5 others) or wait another week to sneak out to late-night shopping on my own.
Have I mentioned that Marty is now working in middle-of-nowheresville & now stays with his Boss near the worksite a cpl of nights a week?
Meaning if I wait til I have a chance to go shopping on my own, it could lead to the very real possibility of shopping mayhem 3 days before Christmas.
Just decide on a damn present & buy it now Goddammit!

Apparently today I am invisible.
Or at least that’s what 2 drivers thought when they failed to stop for me & the pram at a zebra crossing today. WTF?! Are you completely ignorant of the road rules or just don’t give a damn about almost knocking over a mum & her 2 kids?!
Then apparently not only me but my
whole car was invisible to a truckie who veared into my lane & forcing me into a gutter, & causing some noticeable damage to the steering.
I suspect our scheduled routine car service on Saturday is going to turn into some serious repairs & some serious bills.
Is it just me or are there more drivers doing erratic & dangerous things on the road than ever before?!
But then I got home & about fell over with excitement when I saw that I’d won the
Blog This challenge 2 weeks in a row!
Again with that crazy luck!
Seriously, you should all leave comments on my Blog to gain some good chi! ;)
