day 15

day 14

18-04-2010

looks like ive made it to day 14! today we went back to the book fair. it was incredible. we got 180 books for $35! i got a couple cook books, a bible, and a concordence, so list a few. geoff even got the girls kids books about bible stories. hehe. tonight i made a glorious dinner for friends. i felt really proud. it had courses and everything. here are all the books we got!

Day 13

17-04-2010

Today is the first day where im sorta struggling on which picture to post. we did three very distinct things today. first we went to a giant book fair, then we went shopping at dfo and brand depot and then we walked by the lake at weston park. the book fair was sooooooo big! it was like the size of borders, but filled with used, dontated books. it was awesome. we are going back tomorrow to get the really cheap books when they are trying to get rid of all their stock. then we went shopping. dfo and brand depot are the "outlets" here. brand depot is the better one of the two. its got some pretty good deals. maybe ill go back when i actually have money to spend. dfo is more like a mall. then we went to the lake a weston park. and OMG! (hehe) its soooooo beautiful. i always brag that canberra is so lovely, but this place has just become my new favourite spot. its breathtaking. all the trees are red, orange, and yellow around the lake. so hmmmmm what picture shall i do? i think the park. make sure you click on the picture to make it bigger. you also better forgive my lack of mega pixels. it was taken with my cell phone. love you all and miss you constantly!

Day 12

16-04-2010

today i picked a pimple on my nose without even thinkin about it. it wasnt swollen or anything. and all this blood came pouring out. i mean like dripping down my nose, all over my hands. geoff and i were just out side of the super market and so he quickly handing me the recipt to have my blood pour into while he ran off to get me a napkin. i took this picture after it had stopped bleeding and i had just started to clean myself off. strange....

Day 8

11-04-2010

Tonight i made atkins bugers for the whole family. they we really delicious. they had: spinach, green onion, feta, tomatoes, dill (i would probably cut out all the dill next time or maybe put only a smudge in) and salt and pepper. they still ended up nice and i was proud of make dinner for everyone. today's been a good day. just tired. im super happy about my weight loss though. :)

Day 6

09-04-2010

The girls are here for a week!! :) im really crossing my fingers that this week is successful. i have lots planned. this is geoff taking pictures of everything they brought, so at the end of the week we know what to pack up for then to take back with them.

Day 5

08-04-2010

Today i went through our kitchen. ever since i moved here our kitchen has been a strange to me, and i was ready to take the mystery out of our relationship. so i went through every peice. im getting rid of a lot of stuff geoff had PH (pre-heidi) and just reorganizing. our tiny kitchen can hold more then you think!!

Day 4

07-04-2010

Today my mom sent me a link for this thing her work is trying to do and she wanted to see if i was interested in doing it with her. its 10,000 steps a day. keeping a pedomader (spelling?) on you and going for walks. and i was like DOH! thats a lot! and i looked it up online and thats 5 miles a day!! so i thought about it and i decided to wear one all day today and so far im at 1100. thats nothing. but we'll see!

Day 3

06-04-2010

it seem the weather matches my mood today. geoffs mother and i went to the mall today and i had an anxiety attack. and it seems to rain when ive been upset lately so this picture is fitting. its looking like mom might come out to visit! that would be fantastic i think. and it also looks like im starting my diet tomorrow. which is good too.

Day 2

05-04-2010 (yes im doing australian dates: day, month, year. get used to it!)

i decided to take up another project. im going to repaint a little chest of drawers that i have. its a terrible baby blue color and just could really use a pick me up. im going to get new knobs for it and maybe put some paper in the bottom of each drawer. so far ive sanded one drawer. i think it will give me something to do besides sit infront of the tv and i think it will help me get some emotions out, sanding is a very personal thing. so this is my photo of the day. :)

Day 1

04-04-2010

Its easter today and we all got together and exchanges chocolate. we had a nice dinner. deb make these adorable bunny cupcakes. :) they were creative and delicous. my two favorite things.

updates!

Geoff and i went to the Canberra national Botanic gardens. it was a lovely bright day. we had a great time.

every year in canberra theres a big fire works show called "skyfire" they've got some live music and a local radio station plays music with the fireworks. this was the largest gathering of canberra ive seen so far! we all gathered around this lake in city centre and there were crowds all along the lake. here are some pictures.

geoffs mom made scones (which are like similar to our biscuits but sweet) they arnt really like our scones. anywhoo. we had them with stawberry jam and freshly whipped cream. yum!

Geoff and i have also decided to start project 365.

the focus of the project is to take a picture every single day and upload it to a blog or facebook or somewhere as long as its always there. and tell a small story about that picture. geoffs sister is on day 93 and its been a routine for geoff and i to check her blog almost everyday to see her photo of the day. its also to document your year and show progress and change. we think thats a great idea so we both have decided to do it. im really hoping we can stick to it. ive decided to use this blog as my canvas to show you parts of my everyday life. im hoping it will make me feel a little less far away and show you all a little of my life. heres a link to follow if you want more information on project 365.
