the west wing

OK so I am a bit behind, like almost 10 years - 1999 is when the first series of The West Wing was aired, but hey better late than never right?!?

I had been wanting to watch The West Wing for ages as people at work and friends had talked about it being really good. SP and I had decided we needed another series to get into so yesterday when we were in JB Hi Fi I saw a special, buy 2 series get 1 free. Hoorah, I love deals.

So we got the first 3 series to watch, SP wasn't sure at first as he hadn't heard as much about it as me but after watching the first 4 episodes he likes it - Phew!

I will let you know how we go but so far I am loving the humour and I can only imagine it will get better and better as you get to 'know' the characters more.

the dark knight

Couldn't wait to see it. Saw it. Loved it. Thought the Joker was awesome. Looking forward to the next one!

two in a million

These twins have been born in Germany. Cute!

dinner with ruth, 'e' and kym

Tonight I am having dinner with the lovely Ruth and the equally lovely Kym, it has been far too long since I last saw Ruth and I can't wait to see my little god-daughter elect 'e', I am sure she has grown so much since I last saw her.

I am also getting a special treat by seeing the whole of Ruth's family on Saturday - I will be taking my camera to snap away as it has been so long. So stay posted for pictures.

I love catching up with friends, it is going to be a lovely evening together.

Bring on the pasta!

my blog in words

I found Wordle through Tracy and Kristina - cool idea!

did anyone else watch WIPEOUT?

Last night at 7.30pm on Channel 9 there was a new American show called WIPEOUT, I had seen the ads and thought it looked like my kind of 'funny', so SP and I decided to tune in to see what it was like.

I can say I haven't laughed like that for I don't know how long. The 'belly hurting, tears in your eyes, I can't stop laughing' laugh!

The obstacle course is hysterical and the people who 'chose' to do them are even funnier and just when you thought it couldn't get any funnier you have the 2 commentators - who just cracked me up.

So if you are after some mind-numbing fun or you need cheering up on a Tuesday night, get your Tena ladies ready and flick on WIPEOUT!

I have included the first part of the show below, you can watch the rest of it on YouTube too ;) Enjoy!

le bump 1 - 16 weeks

They aren't great as I took them on my computer but as I am soooo hopeless about getting SP to take pics, this will have to do for now. I promise I will try and remember to get more pics soon!


I had my appointment (my very short appt) yesterday, nothing much to report. She weighed me, she felt my tummy and told me all seemed to be growing OK and then the best bit was we got to listen to the heartbeat - we hadn't heard it before so that was worth the visit, she found the heartbeat really quickly and Squiggly's heart was a beating nice and fast VERY.COOL! , then she moved the machine so she could hear mine, not beating quite as fast and NOT.AS.COOL but still, it's always good to know your heart is beating right?

Happy Friday!
