The start of something new...

Well today i read alot about how others (all the wonderful girls from TSH forums, etc) have dived into the world of 'blogs'...
So, here i am...

I started a blog about 1.5yrs ago at another site, about my weight loss journey..
Sadly, i have been terrible and not entered a entry into it in ages..
so, does that mean i have fallen off the wagon??? probably..

im seriously thinking of making it public and hoping to get some ridicule from it.. Maybe that might be what i need to spur me along..
I know i have come along way, compared to what i was, BUT, i still have a long way to go and in my mind i can't really see that much of a difference. I highly lack self-confidence and that's the one & only honest thing i can say about myself.. I have a VERY long way to go and like anyone that is on a weight loss journey, i want a quick fix & i want it now..

Ok, getting off the track there..
I will talk alot about my weight in this journey, as that is the biggest issue of my life. Negative issues..

I am also looking for a pattern..
A 'cyber' friend not long ago told me all about the journey she has/is going through with her emotions, & feelings.. I too can relate to her highly.... She is also a Thyroid suffer just like me, so we have a common interest there (besides LOVEING our scrapbooking).. Hopeless me though, wanted to reply to her email to THANK her heaps for her story and for being so open & personal to me, but my stupid computer decided to wipe all my emails and i lost the lot.. I will get around to replying to her one day soon though, as soon as i can get it to work a bit better...
Anyhow, i am hoping that by writing in here, as often as i can, i will show any sort of pattern that my life takes.. My ups & downs and how & when they occur.. And doing that, it will help me to learn more about myself...

Speaking of Scrapbooking, your going to see ALOT of chatter about scrapbooking too...

Sorry, but your going to have to take that ride with me, if you continue to read.. lol

Ok, lets get on with this and get journalling...
Oh, BEWARE im the worlds worst speller....... :o)


Wednesday 12th of April 2006

Today was a good day, its always a good day at work on a Wednesday, during Pennant Sesson at work... lol
Julie doesn't work Wednesday's & the boys play bowls today...
Even though i enjoy there company at work, its just nice to have a day on my own and get my own thing done.. Along with KKBC work of course... lol

I had to go pick up the Professional Deb photos today and boy was i PISSED OFF!!!!!!
They are crap!!!!!!! I ordered every single photo that my kids were in & involved in with the Ball, expecting to have about 50 - 60 photos.... She was going to charge me $80 for the lot... Even though that might seem alot, but for a 'professional photographer' & thinking i would be getting heaps.. How wrong was i????? I picked up my photos, a whole 25 of them. About 15 of them are of just Jordan. Not that that is a bad thing, but they are just head shots (very cute ones too though) that she was just mucking around with....
She has cut the heads of mainly Brendan and hasn't got any of the family photos or Taylor cutting the cake...
She is going to re-do the family photos for me in 5x7 photos and get the cutting of the cake for me, by tomorrow... And, i don't have to pay anymore money, THANKGOD!!!!
The problems with the photos are, the boys are in black suits, & she has used a black backdrop. Not thinking of it at the time, but now seeing the photos, all you can see is the boys faces. There body's blend into the background and you can't see them at all.. There photos are off centre.. The heads are chopped & even a beautiful photo of Taylor & Jack, there arms are cut off!!!!!!!
WHAT THE?????!!!!!!!!!!
Anyhow.. Im hoping i get better results tomorrow when i get the family ones back, then i am going to scan them and send them off to Extrafilm for re-prints..
She was offereing 6x4's for $5, 5x7's for $10, my gosh!!!!!!! I can get them for 21 & 35cents...
Also, i am not going to be able to get a nice (centred) group photo of all the Debs & there partners. She is selling them for $38.....

Anyhow, its done and theres nothing i can do about it now.. I am just very annoyed (pissed off) and disappointed in the whole outcome of it, but?????????

That's it for today, like i said, nothing exciting...
Tomorrow will be a different thing though and i will def. be back to talk about it..
I am off to 'pole dancing' tomorrow night...
Bronwyn (the Elsley' girls mum) that now does Tap & Jazz with me, thought it would be a good idea to give it a go.. We are hoping its fun more than anything and not too embarrassing...
I'll let you know how we go..
Until then, happy thoughts & take care
love Peta..xx
