A day wasted... kind of.

Today I sat in front of the computer from about 7am til 1130 and then from 12 til 4. Perhaps I have a problem... But it doesn't feel like a problem. It just feels like I'm spending alot of time in the same position. Perhaps I need one of those balls that you sit on. That would be awesome.

So all this sitting means that I don't have much to blog about lately ... which makes me sad. Reading all these awesome blogs at the moment due to BEDA makes me feel inadequate.

OH well... It is what it is, ain't it? (Now that's confusing...)

Ciao!

Just a couple of things to blog today...

1) I guess someone took pity on me, because I now have a copy of Harry, A History and am reading it with great interest. It is making me wish I was more involved in the HP community though... living in South Australia there aren't any HP Conventions or anything awesome like that. I wish there were... I could nerd out with my books out! (Like what I did there? lols I'm silly).

2) Easter! I didn't get heaps of chocolate... but I am certainly happy. We went to my parents place for dinner last night (Easter Sunday) and it was mighty enjoyable. We had kaessler and sauerkraut and YUM. My sister was also there for a while but she had to leave because young Charlie was not settled and was about to get grumpy... which is not good. Poor Teeni.

I plan to go and see her tomorrow at her house because I'm a little worried about her. She said she has the "baby blues" and cries a lot ... which makes me REALLY worried about her. I know its a huge culture shock so to speak, but I want my sister to be happy and OK with everything. So I'm going to see if I can help make her feel better and perhaps organise some strategies to help her out. She obviously isn't getting enough sleep (I wouldn't cope with that just on its own let alone with a baby to deal with too!) but I think we can figure something out.

Anyway... That was all I wanted to blog! I think I should emphasise though, if you are a HP fan in SA.. make a fandom with me. We can wrock out :-)

A missed opportunity

The other day I was shopping with my lovely boyfriend when we wandered into JB Hifi. I love that store - full of music that isn't usually stocked by music stores, DVDs that you can't find anywhere else and all at really competitive prices... Anyway I got so overwhelmed and picked up two movies that I wanted, and happened to be cheap and a PC game.

Later we wandered into a book store, but much to my distress I'd spent all my available money in JB. NO! I could have totally got that book that I really want: Harry - A History, but alas it was too late. So from now on I am going to stick a list to my wall and write down the things I really want on it so that next time I have a spare $30 to spoil myself with I can think clearly and get something that will really make me smile.

Anyway... that's all for now. I had a rather busy day at work (working at a Chocolate store during Easter is a bit stressful) and I have another lined up tomorrow so... better have dinner and curl up to another, less Harry Potter-esque book.

Accidental BEDA

I am apparently accidentally doing BEDA - Blog Every Day April. Today is the 4th of April and this will be my 4th blog in April... amazing. Accidentally amazing, but amazing nonetheless.

Today is odd because yesterday was so long and eventful, yet today its almost midday and I have done nothing. I have put away some clothes and done some dishes as well as catching up on blogs and what not but no one has a had a baby yet... so its kind of out of sorts lol.

I am going to go and see young Mr Nephew tomorrow with Nannal, who very reluctantly agreed to come along. You see he is not a big fan of babies. Like - he doesn't like them at all. So it was hard to convince him that THIS baby is way better than the other babies. And he is! Sure, I'm biased... but if you just saw his little face doing his little baby thing... you would agree. He's so adorable/awesome/cute/small/beautiful/handsome. I'm smitten!

Anyway... Hopefully my next blog will contain some actual news or discussion rather than me waffling on about how much I love my nephew. Lol... Sorry!

Nephew!

My nephew was born today at 11.29am. He weight 7lbs 6oz and he was 51 cm long. He rated 1,000,000 on the adorable scale. :-)

Oh and his name is "Charlie Jay". How sweet is that? Ah ... I've never been clucky but this baby is amazing. He's my little sister with a bit of little Justin mixed in ... and in a tiny cute package. Oh and he favours the word "Eh" alot. He's like Rihanna in a non-annoying way. If he said "Umbrella - eheheh" I would just go "Aaaaaw". As it is though he's unlikely to say umbrella.. just "eh eh eh" a lot and then hiccup.

<3

Impending Nephew

Nephew is on his way! Well... my sister has a time to be at the hospital, and then she will be induced... so he is kinda on his way. Either way he must come out because my sister is developing preeclampsia which is like... damaging and whatnot.

Anyway I predict not getting much sleep tonight. Like - at all. Uh oh - grumpy manda here we come!

Potter

OK I have to admit something. The last few days I have become a bit Harry Potter mad again. Its always been lurking there beneath the surface, but it just hasn't come to the fore lately. I guess with the books having been out for so long, and the wait for the last one well and truly in the past, I haven't had reason to be a fanatic.

But I've been watching the Five Awesome Girls ... and finally I searched for wizard rock videos, or WROCK, and I'm hooked again. My lord... its hit me again! I've been watching the movies, reading the books, watching all the HP related stuff on YouTube and reading the leaky cauldron, and mugglenet again. I suppose its timely given that the movie comes out in a bit over 100 days but still... people say you move on from this kind of thing. But I guess I haven't!

Anyway. Just thought I'd confess that little bit.

Goodnight!

P.S., Still waiting for the nephew. He's so inconsiderate!
