Why do I insist on a snappy title?

I spend longer thinking up some one liner for a title than I do actually blogging...and if I'm really clued in I will blog about the subject in the title because the title sounds better than what I was going to blog about in the first place!!! Lol Makes sense? Absolutely! :)

So do I blog about what the title is here or do I move on? I'm crap at making decisions you know, I can almost break out into a sweat when I am forced into one!! Doh Anyway, rather than make a decision i'm going to just see what flows out my little pink brain cell. Who said they were grey anyway? Its a myth. It is, I tell ya!!! :) I want a pink one and that's what I shall have!! :)

I'm bored of that one now, I have to tell you about my mate Sonia (**waves**), now there a bit you need to know first, she looks like butter woulnt melt in her mouth...but let me tell ya...IT WOULDNT!!! She is so sweet and fun that she almost makes me feel hyper!! Go figure!! Well, earlier, we were on the phone, having a good ole chat, giggle n stuff, as you do and she lightly mentioned that she is going to COUNT all the times i've used 'go figure' in this blog!! :D Now I haven't told her i'm going to blog about that, purely cos its my payback for her telling me i'm mad!!! :P:D So, with her obsession of my Americanism's (of which I think is quite tame considering the American influences I have in my life!) I am aghast that she so easily takes away my britishness!!! :D So, just for Sonia I shall do a new tagline...called...go figure!! At least from this point on she can see when i've used it, which will save her hours an hours of time counting them up!! :D :D Gotta luv yer friends eh? :)

Moving on, Ty and Kian are now safely home with their mum, brother and sister! I sat down at the table after they went and listened to the silence...a massive contrast to 2 hours earlier when they were playing hide and seek upstairs with Charley. All I heard was thuds, slams, bangs, laughter and giggles. I lay on my bed just loving the whole sound, listening to them and giggling, obviously the noise and volume were muffled through my bedroom door so it wasn't quite so ear pearcing!! :) The silence can be a louder sound than volume though, and thats what fell over the house for he next hour or so when Kirsten and Charley were out playing in the front garden. **sigh**

We had a visitor today, an unwanted visitor I might add. Yeah i'm a meanie, you'll get over it!:) It was a very friendly neighbours dog, a Rottweiler called Angel. Now i'm no wuss or anything with dogs and this one didn't look scary but as I didn't know the dog there was no way I was trusting Jake to go out and chase it off and save my honour! At that particular moment though, Kirsten's friend Keevy called for her who just happened to be this dog's owners cousin! So off it trotted with two girls in tow....quite fast at that, with pigtails in a horizonal line following them!! :D Dog disappeared but somehow the girls found their way backs...wanting money to go to the shop!! Doh really must figure that out!! :D

Firefox is a royal pain in the rear end to me right now! I'm still wading through my folders for all the links I want to keep but each time I go from one tab to another it crashes. So now I have to have one link on each page and too may open STILL crashes my laptop!! So after many hours of sorting, searching, scanning and cleaning today I think I am almost ready to finally uninstall and reinstall it...well after a few more folders anyway. Somehow I think it's let something dodgy into my system through the back door and now i'm finding little problems throughout my computer. Luckily I have my rescue man friend, Chris (**waves**) on hand who is forever bailing me out!! :D Where would we be without friends eh? :)

{I have to say, i've very disappointed that for all the emails I had about Ellie Wiseman's box book its not gone as well as it appeared. For goodness sake it is for a child that NEEDS help! Its not for me, or a profit!! Sorry for my rant but i've been simering on this for a few days now!! So, come on, do your bit, its only £6 and if it was someone close to your heart would you not bother? Hmm go figure!!}

Garden Boy Charley has strutted his stuff most the day, in the garden digging his little area with all he has, he's told me all about the butteflies, the seagulls and the spiders. He prayed that the butterflies would not leave his garden and that the birds would not eat his dinner and even that the spiders would not come into his house!!! Dontcha luv the way kids minds work? :) He went to bed tonight with dirt still grimed into his fingernails and spuds in his ears (that was after a shower!!) but very happy and content! Bless!

I'm falling asleep sat here so i'm off to my favourite place in the whole wide world...bed :)

It's all about Ellie :)

Is there a word that sums up an evening of creativity? Lucky, fun, relaxed, rare...??? Nope, that dont quite do it for me...however, last night I had the great pleasure of a whole evening of working on the box part of Ellie's book whilst chatting to a couple of cool peeps on msn...I was almost wishing I had a cigarette to hand but glad I didnt because last night I would definitely have smoked it. Instead I searched, tried out, played and teased a variety of items to add to the pretty box that I found with Ellie in mind! After Kirsty saying that she likes the touchy feely approach I felt rather challenged, i've never had this take on a book so far, but not being one to give up I enlisted Princess Kirsten, we adjusted our magpie eyes and set about searching for a variety of interesting things that we could potentially use in this box book somehow. Looking at the box of stuff we've come up with its more like a junk treasure trove than anything else! Lol But we've had fun doing it, we've chatted a lot about the little I know of Ellie, we've covered a range of spiritual things as to 'why does Ellie have to go through this' kind of question and I think my daughter is a better person for having this little experience in her life. Ellie is touching people's lives in ways she doesn't even know about...bless her!! Kirsten looks out every day on Kirsty's blog to see if there's anymore about Ellie and the impending trip to Nevada, I think she's been moved by it in her heart so I say a big thank you to Ellie for being such a brave, inspirational young lady...though she probably doesn't even realise she's so exceptional!!
Right, I cant share the picture of the box book yet because The Lil Lady had first rights on it! If she likes it so far then I will do a sly shot of it...but it really is a box book to raise some money to cover any and all Ellie's costs to get to and whilst in Nevada, so please dig deep and get anyone you know signing up for the box book class...is only £6 and EVERY penny will go direct to Ellie's fund. I cant give an exact date when the class will be available as Ellie is the one that is guiding what the project is all about...:) But I will have it up as soon as I get enough info from her.
Please sign up to my newsletter to keep updated on Ellie's fundraising and how she's getting on, though I'm sure Kirsty will have all that's to know over on her blog HERE.
I'll probably be back later to blog some good ole waffle...right now i'm still cleaning up after a baking session and some sly cardmaking (which i'm rubbish at but it was essential!!)
So....S.M.I.L.E!!
