Coffee and Computers

My computer has died......my sister was using it last!!!! So let's blame her! Of course the gorgeous Mr IT that I am married to is away for the week and from a past experience we don't play help desk and customer....it can get really nasty! But that is OK - I can use the old trojan computer that we let the kids ruin. I just can't put any pics up.

I have given up coffee....as of yesterday lunch time! If I can't sleep properly again tonight, then i am going back on it! This is hard for me to do - I LOVE my coffee, however I think it doesn't love me back and so the relationship needs to take a break! My family might decide that I have become even more grumpy and might administer it intravenously without me knowing.

I am ahead on the Christmas shopping front - to the point I have even held some things back that I bought the kids and they can get them as birthday presents - I don't like tospoil them too much!!

Spent a wonderful weekend with my sister in Sydney - well we met in Sydney. She flew down from Townsville and then we came to Canberra together. We stayed at a real fancy pants hotel and tried to look the part...which we did. For those interested in cricket (which I am not at all) - the Black Caps were staying there too. I could be come interested in the game again after the brief encounter in the lift with a gorgeous man who asked us where the "Jum" was. Thankfully Tanya, who is about to embark on a trip to the land of the long white cloud, sent him in the direction of the health club, while I was still trying to work out what he wanted!! And I thought I was good at accents!
