Yes Lynnie...

i'm alive lol. ya dag! haha. thanks 4 caring though!
We went to stay at the Ramada on Saturday night in Ballina. What an awesome ride down it was! No rain thankfully. The hotel room was nice, not as big as we thought but cosy. We had booked 5 rooms so got them for corporate prices YAY. We then went to dinner on Saturday night to Lismore to a little restaurant called the Bellowing Bull...omg...ffor those who haven't been there you need to go if you get a chance, and order the shank...but DO NOT eat for at least two days prior!! they weigh in at about 3 kg!! that's a LOT of meat! Murray got one and ate it all - we kinda helped Jockey eat his LOL. I got the Zarzuela which is a Spanish seafood dish with scallops, mussels, crab, prawns, calamari and barramundi in a tomato based sauce - it was soooo good!!
When we got back to the hotel, we went to the RSL down there - I collected $100 twice from the cashier YAY! then we went to the pub where a band was playing...bad music, lots of old hippies and dorks around the place but we had fun...in the morning we had a buffet breakfast to die for. When we headed home we went through Nimbin LOL...got rained on a little which was fun hehehe. Made it home safe and sound and fell asleep for a couple of hours (didn';t get much sleep at the hotel ;) lol)

Nothing much else exciting to report but have a couple of pics to share. Because I now have an open faced helmet I need a bandana for my face lol...NINJA!!!.. lol Murray took the pic of me, and he printed it for the fridge too LOL...he likes it I guess...




^Nice mask eh? lol

^ Jockey, Iain and my Murray :)


view from and in our room...



And finally, Murray got a new tattoo on Monday, it's a tribute to his dear father, who sadly passed away ten years ago...



Till next time!!

March Sketch CHallenge

@ a Passion for craft!! <--Click!! We need at least 4 entries to be able to have a winner!! The prize? A store voucher to spend!! What are you waiting for?? Get cracking!! Even I did it, and I haven't scrapped in a loooong time!!!! This is my effort for the sketch...

What a day!!

ok so I guess I should really write about my dentist experience first lol...

Murray had the day off work and asked if I had called the dentist to make my appointment yet... the dentures had been paid for since before Christmas lol...no...I hadn't made an appointment, I kept forgetting!! So he grabs the phone and calls them...they say "oh wow. I just got off the phone to someone who had to cancel! does she want to come in today at 11am?" OMG! REALLY!!!??? OF COURSE SHE DOES!! so that was it... We got there, I went straight in and Murray took Oscar (the baby I now babysit three days a week!) to his grand dad's shop to wait for me. First I had numbing gel put in where the following needles would be jabbed...actually they weren't jabbed, the dentist was quite gentle thankfully. a lot of needles later and my entire face was numb!! there was the usual pressure, which doesn't feel like PULLING of teeth! It felt like they were being pushed into my brain! One tooth had a very long root...so long it actually made what they called a 'communication' between my gum and sinus...yep...I had a hole there, so when I rinsed my mouth with salty water the next day it went INTO MY NOSE! OUCHIES!!! and soooo annoying!! It has healed over now, but the dentist said if I need to sneeze from now on I have to just let it rip...I can't stifle it or it could do a lot of damage EEK!! I always stifle sneezes....this should be fun...I haven't had the urge yet thankfully! That same tooth also broke and had to be taken out bit by bit...as one bit came unstuck I noticed a spot of blood on the dental nurse's forehead that had suddenly appeared...the bit had got her right between the eyes when it flew out...I felt bad but it was hilarious at the time, we were all laughing. Apparently the first time it has happened to the assistant but twice for the dentist LOL!! After all the teeth were out I was blessed with the most beautiful new teeth I'd ever seen...I wanted to cry. I finally felt gorgeous! My face was still fat and numb but I didn't care, I knew I could smile and not be self conscious about it. I had to get antibiotics because I'm a smoker, AND because I have a hole in my heart AND for the communication...I HATE antibiotics - you may or may not (being female ;) ) will understand why!! GRRR!!
So there it is.

Oh and then we won $1100 on the pokies YAY!!!! First time for everything I guess lol

Yesterday was FABULOUS!!!
We left here at about 7am. Mum came to be with the kids. Went to the tattoo shop (Extreme Ink at Woodridge, for those interested ;) lol) Then went on to Morgan and Wacker in the city...It was a V-Rod ride but we all tagged along anyways hehe...we lost the group though because we got bored really quickly with having to go so slow lol...as you can see by the following pics boredom can do funny things...



And then Murray had to stretch his back...not that he doesn't put his feet up sometimes anyways! lol...(BTW look at the speedo!!! It reads over 200km/h!!!! hahaha...but anyone who knows about these things would know to also look at the revs..uh yea...well clearly I doctored the pic just for laughs LOL...then I was too lazy to change the rev needle lol)

Here's another couple of pics for your viewing pleasure...






We stopped along the way at pubs and servos, for drinks...Aratula had a cool ...er...'Chain saw' on the wall - I couldn't resist taking a pic...

We went to a little pub in Boonah (I think it was Boonah) and won $400 on the pokies!!! YAY!!! our day was paid for and then some!!!

Well that's about it for now....take care...till next time!!
