They always do that when i post, these darn mods! Love ya Jols.
Oz- Lu was hilarious cooking her cake. It keeps her entertained for ages. Bit messy, but nothing the hose doesn't fix! Today i gave her a muffin tray, cornflour, water and we collected stones and flowers to decorate her 'cakes' she loves it.
I had my wisdom teeth out when i was about 21, MAN IT HURT! I also had a lot of bleeding. It was pretty gross. I remember saying "i look like a monster" over and over again. Mine were impacted too so i was pretty bruised and swollen. Wisdom teeth are not nice. So lots of sympathy to you MD and Trill.
Yes Trill she was pretty proud of her efforts. When she finished she knocked on her door and yelled "sorry mummy, it was an accident" hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Bless her cotton socks! I'm sure it truly was just an accident Until a few years ago my wisdom teeth were fine. I was so lucky and never had a problem till I got the abcess on one of them. I know all the kids will have to have theirs out - they have nowhere near enough room for the teeth they have now, let alone wisdom teeth.
Such a gorgeous story JM...sounds like you're having a great time over there.
Oz - gosh I didn't realise it was such a big deal being an eyebrow virgin. I've been tweezing since year dot...just thought that's what every other woman on the planet did too
Ginger - gorgeous photos, very photogenic family you've got there!

JM - Lu is just gorgeous in the pics, I loved her oven!
Eyebrows - I've got my appointment tomorrow morning! Love getting them down, but mine have always been really bushy. I've got a few friends that should do something with theirs, but it's kind of a hard subject to raise..... Tweezing HURTS!!
Can't really remember much from the last thread...
Looking forward to the weekend. Next Thursday I start a challenge with two others in this office (and some from our other offices) where we have to do 10,000 steps each day over 125 days. It means we have to do a 30 minute lunchtime walk each day and last year I went a bit crazy with pacing around the house each night to get my step count up, so I'm going to going to really relax this weekend and BLOB!
Ginger - your photos were gorgeous too, you and JM are going to have stunning grandkids when L&L get together!!
Ouch Cally that hurts. Now I'm wondering if you were sitting across the cafe table those times we met thinking, how do I tell her she should deal with her bushy brows????! Great challenge by the way. I'm always unsure tho if I've taken that many steps or whether it was just my fat wobbling that the pedometer counted. LOL
getting your brows done is like an instant facelift. i reckon it's the most important beauty thing to do, in fact, it's the only beauty thing i do these days!
went to a wedding last night and dh and i got way too stuck into the wine. feeling shocking today. just remebered why i don't drink alcohol anymore. wish i would've remembered it at about 7pm last night.
another waxer here. i agree with Ginger that it is an instant face-lift. if you go to a good place (i usually go ella bache as they seem to train the staff well) it can make you feel a million bucks. that said, my bestie has the PERFECT eyebrows, and has NEVER tweezed or waxed. i am SO jealous LOL!
Far out G! she never gives up does she? I hope the hangover is feeling decidedly better LOL. I don't drink anymore and I am so glad of that - I feel ****ty enough after a big night out as it is without adding drinking as well.
Footy and netball again today - and both Lindsay's and the girls' netball teams won again so they are both undefeated. Although the girls team really had to work hard for it this week - their opposition had a lot of girls that have been playing for a few years and it was nailbiting stuff LOL. I have taken over umpiring their games too which is keeping me on my toes - I haven't umpired in years! But it is loads of fun and it's good to feel more involved than just being on the sidelines kwim?
Alcohol! What a great idea, I think I need me some of that...sadly forbidden for a week or so .
Ginger, hope you can maintain the amusement. xxx
Trill - sounds like fun!
Big day for us tomorrow, free zoo afternoon for families from DH's work (national family week or something). Can't wait to see the PANDAS!!! We've been in a lather of excitement for a year now, missed the big opening due to my boobal requirements, so the kids are really gonna love this. Saw some panda meringues at the bakery, so cute, might splash out on a couple tomorrow.
MD, have fun at the zoo. Hope the panda's put on a good show. Bummer about the giraffes.
Ginger, hope you got some satisfaction out of seeing in print how crazy your MIL is.
Trill, sounds like the kids are doing well with their sports. I am not sports minded at all and sort of dread the future games I will have to watch. Hopefully it is more interesting if your own kid is playing.
Alcohol.... I wish I had some. Haven't had any since NYE2006, been pregnant and/or BF ever since. I figure it would take about one glass for me to make an arse of myself and then fall asleep these days lol
I had an inspection of my eyebrows and I don't think they are bushy at all. In fact, there are a couple of small bald patches, so if I plucked there would be gaps. I guess they could be a bit shapelier but since I barely bother to brush my hair that isn't high on my priority list lol

I must admit to indulging in one two many times lately. Certainly don't deal with it like the old days.
