We Belong Together..

 

I am so excited to announce that my little munchkin Minnie and i

will re-unite in 2-3 weeks time and i cant wait. I wanted a puppy 4
years ago and came across some friends selling miniature dacshunds
and fell in love with the runt. She was introduced to our family and
was a favourite among us all!! I was living with my parents and when
i went to work in the snow last year they were more then happy to
take care of her for a couple of months, i visited her back home a
few times but my parents decided to get another little puppy to keep
her company while i was gone. Thats where Lola came into the family,
they are now best friends and since moving to Port its been hard
finding a place where i can bring her down. The time has finally
come and in 2 weeks we will be moving and I am so excited because
Minnie is coming too.. Its on the canals so its going to be perfect
for summer, and I will be able to set up my sewing machine again and
finish off my creations from last summer. Until then as of tomorrow
we are moving out of our friends and going to stay at a motel in
town called El Paso.. Im calling it my Mexican holiday for two
weeks.... Chau Amigos

Where did we park the car?...

I have been so busy lately with work, and organising moving i havent had time to get a battery for my camera, so new pics for posts have been non existant.. But i thought i would share with you a picture from summer, we used to live in town and would always park on the street. One morning i woke up and remembered the markets were on, as i ran to the balcony i realised that the markets had been set up around my car.. It was one of the funniest things ive ever seen!!

Lemonade Scones...

Unfortunatley my camera is still out of action.. So the picture above is sourced from google, but i can however give you an amazing scone recipe, and possibly the easiest to remember off by heart!

You will need;

1x Cup of Cream

1x Cup of Lemonade

3x Cup of Self Rasing Flour

Preheat your oven to 180-200 degrees and have your trays ready to go! Mix together Cream, Lemonade, and Self Raising Flour until combined, you will need some hand action for this, as you kneed away you may need to add a bit more Flour here and there so the dough isnt too sticky. Roll prefered size, pop in your tray, and bake for 20-30mins or until lightly golden. Serve with Jam and whipped cream and im telling you they are to DIE for!! People never believe this recipe but it is the best, Mum and I have been using it for years..

Enjoy

From 1 to 4..

Above are the album covers of the three new additions i got today for my cd collection which is now at a total of 4!!

Honestly i know its crazy but i havent bought a cd in years, the one before this was Triple J's hottest 100 from Australia Day 2011, i seriously only owned 1 cd up until today! Im pretty excited, my new car that has a cd player is the reason i bought them. I find my self still driving around in silence because i forget i have a stereo that works now. Oh if you dont know i got a new car like 2 weeks ago, my other one was literally falling apart..

Good night guys

OMG Golden Bodz...

So i road tripped up to the Gold Coast on the weekend and had the  most amazing time seeing all my family and friends again. My two friends Jen and Siobhan own Golden Bodz on the Gold Coast and had been dying for me to try their spray tans.. When she found out i was coming up she convinced me to strip off and get bronzed up. Im not going to lie i was a little concerned as it is winter and i am sooo white right now and i didnt want to look like an orange idiot cruising around in the middle of winter with an obvious fake tan! but how could i resist, being tanned is sooo much more forgiving!! and im so glad i did!! I walked around pretty much nude because i couldnt believe how amazing my tan was!!

She uses a solution "thats so" from Italy and it is AMAZING!!! i am home now and my tan has still lasted, i was worried it would start coming off patchy but its just slowly fading away, you really wont believe me until you try it!! Everyones first tan is only $25 and from then on its $30. They can also come to you as they are a mobile spray tanning business so if you want them to come to you the price goes up from $35 depending where you live, and the best part is there is NO MESS!! you can do it in any room in your house completely mess free they will bring all the supplies to you and you wont have to worry about a thing!! Its really amazing, im just so bummed that i cant go back next week and get one.

P.S - Golden Bodz also do Boot Camp, so you can get tonned, and

tanned.. BONUS :)

24 Hour Fail...

The last 24 hours has been extreme...

Up at 8am, no time for breakfast, at work by 8.30. Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, 1pm 30minute lunch, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Twisties.. Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, 5pm clock off... for me... no!! Work, Work, Work, Work, 8pm weird noises late at work, decided to head home, get in and turn on my new car (bought a new car a week ago its amazing, my lovely parents found it for me and i LOVE IT)

I hear a ticking noise....TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK...i rev the car TICKTICKTICKTICKTICK TICK TICK TICK    TICK    TICK   TICK..

Note to self, when car is making loud un-usual ticking noise... it means it is not good!!

Check the oil... oil full, call Andrew at work, responds with "Ticking bad", 8.20pm Hunger strikes my stomach, phone the Mother, responds with "Ticking bad", call NRMA, membership expired,

ME: "Can you send some one out to check if its ok and i will pay cash??"
NRMA: "NO..you must renew membership via credit card over the phone"..
ME:"But i dont have a credit card!!"
NRMA: "Debit Card?"
ME: "No... I have my partners Debit card!"
NRMA:"Okay great i will transfer you through to RACQ to renew your member ship"
'ON HOLD'
RACQ... BLA BLA BLA "Sorry, if its Andrews debit card he needs to be here to authorise usage."
ME: "But how will you even know if its Andrew??"
RACQ: "Because we will ask him"
ME: "Okay im Andrew!! :)"
RACQ: "No Emma, we can call him for you"
ME: "Okay thanks but he doesnt know i need to use his card, can you please let him know"
'ON HOLD WHILE THEY CALL ANDREW'
Hunger is striking badly!!
RACQ: "Okay Emma that is confirmed, membership renewed, now i will put you back through to NRMA as you are in NSW!"

NRMA: "60 Minute wait"
ME: :(

NRMA come, car is OKAY, cold weather may be causing oil to become gluggy and not pump the oil through the lifters, creating ticking noise, ticking noise slowly decends, safe to drive without blowing up..

Hunger unbearable, more asleep then awake, Maccas stop.. calmed by an apple pie,

10.10pm arrive home, in need of shower but there is no hot water..

Crawl into bed, stinky, tired, sick from Mcdonalds, and dreading the working day tomorrow followed by 5.5 Hour drive after work to the Gold Coast in a car that may have issues!!!

GOOD NIGHT

Sounds Juicy...

I've never really been that into juice, and ive never wanted to buy
boost juice because i have freakish issues with foods, especially
seeds and pulp!!!

Freak...I know...

One of my good friends Sam Berry owns a juicer and when i was at her
place one day, threw into her juicer some left over fruits in her
fridge and made me the most wonderful juice ive ever had!! Pulp and
seed free Apple, Watermelon and Mandarine juice poured over ice, who
ever thought they would taste so good together..

From then on i wanted a juicer, and a juicer i got!! Pictured above
is our new juicer, this bad boy juice's whole apples and separates
the pulp and the seeds, and i mean all the pulp, leaving a nice
fluffy foam on the top of your juice which is a delight for me..

I know when you look at the juicer it seems messy, and hard to
clean, and time consuming... but it really isnt! You just pull it
apart in 1, 2, 3, and rinse it off.. the catcher on the side
collects the pulp and if you need can pour over your veggie garden.

Below is a link to the exact model we bought, and between you and
me, you NEVER pay full price at The Good Guys...
