Alright so I missed a day, don't hate! :)
Monday was great, friend and I had tea... and I thought it would be so fitting to make some crumpets to go with it, so I thought anyways. I found a great website with an easy recipe and pictures to follow along. I'm not quite sure what happened but I ended up with some really good west coast bannic! Lucky for me my friends are really easy going. I think if I'm brave enough for a next time I know how I can adjust the recipe.. but it was just funny, and startling to discover how similar bannic is to crumpets. I think its great though, I love to make a mess in the kitchen!
Tuesday was relatively uneventful, I went to work, I came home made my lunch for today (tuna sandwhich, yum!) and went to bed crazy early.. like 7:30pm it was fabulous! Oh and I took my car through aircare so I can renew the insurance, passed first time! woot!!
Today is similarly uneventful, I went to work, contemplated overtime, (also contemplated applying for full-time when more positions come available) came home (no OT), now I am writing to you while I ponder dinner that can also be lunch for tomorrow. I'm thinking Talapia and wedge fries with some salad. mmm.
Today I was thinking a fair bit about Christmas, every year I try to be soo prepared so as to not spend upwards of $400 last minute on gifts. I love crafting all kinds of things, so this year I will attempt to make a few different homemade delights and make up little baskets of some sort. I think its a great way to save money and add that personal touch that Christmas is really all about. and for me September is not too early (I did mention I'm a procrastinator, right?) the only thing that concerns me is finished gifts getting lost and people getting forgotten. Guess I have some list making to do. :)

OH! OH! and.... OOh I'm almost so excited! (yes, almost) My mother has agreed to write an invitation letter for my husband to come visit for Christmas!!!!! It would be our first Christmas together (I mean in the same country) and also our 1st anniversary in early january. We have to get our paperwork filed before this can be done though. Cross your fingers and think good thoughts!

YAY!
