This, that and the other thing....

Quick rundown of what I’ve been up to now that I’ve gotten over being crazy sick for so long…
After this I’m off to catch up on all the reading I’ve missed. amand_r especially - she's been busy with some amazing stuff!! Worst part about being sick was having all the free time but being completely unable to focus.
Also - Not sure if he's around to see this, but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!



Part eleventy billion in how I am spoiled by tardistenantsue … SHE ORDERED US SHIRTS!!
Almost matching, except the names (in tribute to our inner!Jack and inner!Ianto)





Yesterday, I finally made the apple pie I’ve been promising RLBF for ages. It was yum, mostly. Topping wasn’t quite right. I had to guess on the ingredient amounts because my scrap of paper with all that stuff has been MIA since the move. Tasted close, but if I can’t find the paper I’m going to have to call my mom before Turkey day.



Also yesterday – I FOUND A KITTY. I can maybe probably keep it. She (I’m pretty sure?) followed me all the way to Sue’s, waited an hour for me and then followed me back home. RLBF wanted to give her to his brother, but we get to keep her on a trial basis (I used my best wheedling skills). He has decided to name her George last night (Hug her and squeeze her and call her George…do you know how many times I heard that last night? I think the kitty is growing on him more than he admits)



And finally TODAY - In an attempt to actually do something resembling exercise we were playing Wii Dance Dance Revolution earlier. Songs like ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ take on a whole new meaning when you are using the Miis that look like Jack and Ianto. OH YEAH – WE REINACTED WITH A NINTENDO DANCE GAME. TOP THAT!

Well….it was all well and good, even with having trouble not laughing so hard we fell off our mats. And then we took a break. SOME HOW her kids managed to tip one of my bookcases over and we didn’t even hear. Don’t ask me how. Because I am a good friend (and being a spoiled brat I owe her big time) I decided to FINALLY let her arrange a couple shelves of my books by colour when we tipped it back upright. She’s wanted to do it for a while, and since they were spread out all over my floor I figured what could it hurt?
For anyone who didn’t follow Ask!verse scroll down to the bottom for reference

I’ll let you see what she did on the condition you don’t judge my books, I swear I read actual BOOKS sometimes. One's with plot and redeeming value. I SWEAR. Those are on the built in book cases. Let’s see them try to knock them over. Actually, let’s not, best not to tempt fate. That being said, these ones have much prettier colours....I wonder if Sue somehow convinced her kids to knock that particular case over just so she could have fun....






And that’s about all I’ve got going on. Now on to that ‘to read’ list…

Love the shirts *g*
The pie looks yummy. I might have to make something with apple again soon.

omg kitty!!
She's so cute. Incredibly pink nose.
I hope you get to keep it.

Aww. I want a Wii. I really want a Wii fit. I have lots of health problems and it would be perfect for me.
Shame it's over $400.

*g* Glad we don't have kids in our house, you'd lose them.
Rainbows are pretty.
I don't know where any of my books are. I just ask Ruth and she gets them for me *g*
Everything is three books deep.

I'm now almost certain the kitty will get to stay, even though she likes mornings a little too much. I sat down and she took a running pounce into my lap and started purring in my face. I hadn't even had any coffee and/or tea yet. Lucky she's adorable lol

The Wii is awesome- you guys have to pay double?? THAT is crazy and totally unfair :( If by some miracle they start charging normal price for them and you get one...the wii fit (and plus) are good, avoid the ea active like the plague. IT'S PROGRAMS ARE IMPOSSIBLY HARD.

Ruth is an awesome archivist! Now that we are at the new house I have all the built in shelves so my books get to breath (for now, until I add more)

Aww. Kitty sounds adorable.
The puppies get very excited when we get up in the morning. Though often they are the ones that get us up.

I think Wiis on their own are around $325ish now and then the fit is about $150 usually, less if you get it in a package.
It's Aussie dollars though so it's not quite so bad.
Problem is we only get $400 a week between us and have to pay rent and for food and meds and bills so...

have to pay rent and for food and meds and bills so...
AND COFFEE!!! For the love of all that is holy DON'T FORGET COFFEE!!!

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

no, we didn't forget the coffee. We went out thinking we'd been paid and bought two packets of coffee beans and a bottle of vodka and $60 worth of medication and then went to get food and found out we didn't get paid after all and so all we had was the coffee, booze and meds *g*

While those are three VERY IMPORTANT THINGS you might have to get some more actual food supplies when you get that straightened out. Like milk for the coffee.

My cat once woke me by purring madly and shoving his cold wet nose up my left nostril.

He didn't do it twice.

mine often comes and jumps on my head.
