Ok, nothing of great importance to say here, but oh my. Call me shallow if you will but at the end of the day, I like to unwind by visiting a celeb site or two. Don't ask me why... I don't understand the logic of it, I surely don't learn anything there that will help me move forward but occasionally I laugh and laugh.

I like Jim Carey. I saw him interviewed once and he's very direct. I saw these pics of him on www.thesuperficial.com tonight and just had to post them here. Soooooo funny!

Here's Jim and Jen at the beach. Jen's laughing a lot so he still must be being funny...


Or maybe they were planning this little stunt for the benefit of the papparazzi,


Love it! Though the swimmers definitely look better on Jen! Mwarr ahrr harr.

Cyber hug received, thanks Miss G! No can do today. No time for breakdown until tomozz. Am feeling better with what's come out today though. Sheesh. Where'd that come from?

Kwor, another wonderful day. Got up and into the shower, ciried in there. Got out. Felt GREAT!!!

Off to the markets. Met up with Sacha and had a great chat. Bought wonderful foods from the farmers. There is a new farmer there who is really cool. I bought two punnets of gorgeous cherry tomatoes from him. They are so red and vibrant looking. Sweet man.

After the markets I went to my F+V shop to get what I can't get at the markets and they are no longer selling seeded watermelon. I nearly cried again! I bought a seedless one but it was not the same. Not the flavour and different texture. Am going to grow my own. Don't know how  but I will!

After lunch I took the kids for another bike ride. My butt protested mightily when I hopped on the bike but funnily enough I didn't notice it after about 30 seconds. Perhaps because it was Caitlyn and Brock's first time on the road and I was quite nervous about that! They both did really well and so did I!

I'm very surprised at how well I'm doing on the bike. Not the other day but a few months ago I went to the corner and back (a few hundred metres) and couldn't get up the tiny hills even with the run up from the hill before. Twas amazing today to go up these hills easily.

All that running I did must have strengthened my legs more than I thought and the tramping that I've been doing (just a minute at a time about 5- 6 times per day) must have kept enough of that strength at bay. It's great to feel strong and I really enjoyed getting out and about.

Also it was Bella's first time out with her on a bike and she picked it up quickly. I did some slow stuff with her and she learned to watch the front wheel fast. She loves to run and enjoyed the high speed runs. I was careful not to run her too fast for too long though. She has hardly moved since we got home. Poor knackered Bell!

I'm so proud of my kids. I feel like we have turned a corner with their health. They are having soups now that are made of very basic ingredients, no stock cubes like I used to load it up with and they are loving them. They are finally branching out and becoming less afraid of new things. It's wonderful.

Caitlyn and I seem to have turned a corner with our relationship as well. We are getting along famously. I tried Emi's advice (thanks Emi!) of just treating her as another adult and I did. Took awhile and I've had to tone down my jokes but we are getting along a lot better.

Aside to the universe: This is NOT an invitation for a challenge. Am challenged out right now and grateful for it! Thank you for smooth sailing.  xx

Tonight I am gifting myself with a night off from the usual. We are having a movie night. Alvin and the Chipmunks. Yaaaaaaaay! I wanted Run Fatboy Run but was outvoted by two stubborn kids! Dammit. Bill was at the superbikes with friends. It was lovely to have a day with the kids.

I am going through some stuff! I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life. For years I've been avoiding a group called Landmark Forum. But it's gotten to the point now (Very much like raw food did!) that I cannot ignore anymore this next phase of my life. So this Sunday I am off to an introductory seminar.

I have reacted in my usual dramatic fashion of panic! All the what if's falling into place. Even just looking at these panicky bits I have learned a few things about myself. I've learned that I'm very scared to forgive. But that sounds bad. If I actually talk to the person who I have reacted to with pain or anger etc I am normally fine! But if I am deeply deeply hurt I protect myself with an anger to match and frankly, this anger... it's become a little boring and heavy. Yee haa! I am really looking forward to this.

There are other things bubbling under the surface as well but I think that just working with that for starters would be good. I'd love to hear from any other landmarkers.

Also, I love ox-heart tomatoes. Yummmmmmm!

xooxxoxo

Thanks be Miss G! I'd forgotten that Tim did a thread. I'll get in touch I think and see how it went for him long term.

Interesting story, to me anyhow. Caitlyn was angry tonight. We chatted and it went back to school. Some kiddies had given her a hard time and she was MAD! An hour or so after we chatted I got her to go back and remember the worst one. She did, she remembered every word that she had told me an hour before hand.

So I got her to close her eyes and imagine it again, but this time giving the child massive blue elephant ears! This made her laugh and she laughed and laughed. So then we did the next one. Now this is probably inappropriate so I'll have to tell her not to mention it at school but I got her to imagine this boy saying it again but this time with no shirt, a frilly pink bra and massive boobies. Why boobies? Because kids love them and just talking about them is enough for any conversation to become funny. The third one we did something else and now she cannot think of what happened at school today without it becoming a hilarious anecdote in her head.
