Welcome to my life.

Sorry – I have trouble working out what to call the subject. It gets boring to call it “catch up” every week.

I had a great weekend! It all started with Friday. Technically Friday is a work day but I’ll start it then.
I rode my bike to work which was great! It was a fabulous morning! Not freezing cold but not hot either and we made good time as well. Fortunately Jake took the bike home with him (he was at Tafe around the corner) and I got a lift home. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll ride the bike and ride home also! Wish me luck.

Friday night was a busy one. When I got home I did some last minute cleaning for my friends that were coming over in the morning. After I’d finished cleaning Jake and I went over Damien’s for Games Night. Jake stayed over Damien’s and the boys played (along with some other males and females) while Natasha and I went out for a drink and a chat. Eventually, after a good long time, (the place was packing up around us) we made it home. The game still hadn’t finished so Natasha and I decided to watch a movie. By the time I got home it was almost 1.

Saturday morning I awoke at 7.45! I had organised for a group of couples (who happen to be friends with Jake and I) to come over for breakfast! There were 10 of us all up and I had a great time. I actually cooked for most of it but I still got to chat while cooking. We had bananas, bacon & eggs, stuffed mushrooms and pancakes along with juice and milos.

Eventually it was time for everyone to get going. Jake and I tidied up a tad before I went for a lie down and didn’t get up again till much later. I was actually surprised how long I slept!

That night we didn’t do much. We hired a couple of DVDs and I got the pumpkin ready to make pumpkin soup. Oh, and very importantly, Jake let us get Cold Rock Ice Cream from the shops. .. Soooo yummy!

Sunday was a nice day. We went over Ruth’s place for some onions as I needed some for my pumpkin soup. It turned out that I didn’t actually have all the ingredients (we were missing chicken stock). Fortunately I had a brilliant idea and we used the seasoning from our chicken two minute noodles =)

Before I could mush my pumpkin soup up Jake and I had to leave for Jakes parents. Olly (the puppy) was very excited to see us and we were able to meet Alex, Shaan’s boyfriend.

Pumpkin Soup – Eventually I was able to finish making my soup and it turned out pretty good. I’ve portioned some out for lunch at work but it runs out so quick! I need to make more.

Hope you’re all well! Love you heaps.

Life as it is.

Another weekend over.

I didn’t do much this last weekend although I did watch the boys and Juliet play soccer. I enjoy going to the games. Mostly I play with the little ones while cheering but they’re fun all the same. Rory’s team did very well. It’s cool to see how far they’ve come. They seem to have a very good coach.

Jake and I didn’t get to see much of Isiah’s game as we came a little late but he kicked the ball a few times while we were there. Even Juliet kicked the ball some.

Last week on Thursday I rode my road bike to work! I didn’t ride home as I think I should practice a bit more before I ride home again. .. It took me a while to get home last time =) I’m enjoying riding to work. It quite fun and I’m getting more confident too.

Yesterday Jake and I gave blood! I’ve been 4 times now and last night was the first time that I didn’t have any problems after or during. I am pretty impressed. Today I’m feeling it a bit though. I had to rest half way up the stairs this morning but I’m still kicking.

I think that’s about all that is interesting.

Love you all!

Loooong Weekend

This last weekend we had a long weekend! Apparently the Queen had a birthday =) Thankyou.

Friday Night – Tonight it was raining hard to instead of making me walk up to the house in the rain Jake picked up from the bus stop. It was really sweet of him, even though it only takes me 7 minutes to walk. I’m pretty sure we didn’t do anything interesting after that.

Saturday – Today I woke up, did some cleaning and then went outside to do some gardening. I pruned 5 rose bushes and got a few cuts but I’m pretty impressed with myself anyway. Jake and I have some big green bushes that he also pruned into square shapes. It’s good to finally be able to walk past.

Below is a picture of our Kitty in the rose trimmings. She can be cute sometimes.




After gardening Jake went off to spend some time with his guy friends and Ruth came to pick me up from mine. Ruth and I went over to the shops, had lunch, saw a movie and went shopping. There are a lot of sales on at the moment and I got two tops for half price! I had a good time and lunch was yummy

That night I got a bit lonely so Mum came to pick me up. Jake didn’t get home till late and my cat was annoying me so I’m very glad she did. I basically sat and read my book while mum organised her lesson and Dad scanned some slides.

Sunday – We went to church for some baby blessings today! Two of my good friends recently had babies. They’re so gorgeous! Charlotte has such dark hair and Lukas is such a beautiful little boy, even Jake says so =)

Jake and I chilled for a while after church before going over to his parents for dinner. We had some Indian rice dish that was quite nice and I should probably get the recipe. Eventually we went home and I was straight to bed. .. I’ve been very tired lately.

Monday – At lunch we hired a movie and got Hungry Jacks. Basically we bummed the entire day away but Jake did some washing and I cleaned the bedroom so it wasn’t all a waste. I had thought I might ride my bike over to Damien’s or Ruth’s house but Damien wasn’t home and it turned out to be a really windy and cold day anyway!

Pretty sure that’s about all. It was a good weekend anyway.

Love Tammy – And her wonderful Jake.

Ps. Kirsty – I’ve started reading the Wheel of Time Books. I’m half way through the first one and it’s actually very interesting!

Love you all!

I rode my bike to work!

Today I rode my bike to work! Actually, it’s not my bike. A friend at work also rides and they lent me their old bike until I decide I like riding enough to buy my own.

I rode 21kms in about 53 minutes and it was great! =)

I think that’s about all I wanted to say.
