Currently - The April Edition

This wonderful idea is borrowed from Lauren From Texas and I love it. Thanks Lauren!

Current Book (s): Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This is the 1st novel in the Sookie Stackhouse collection. I watched the TV series first so already have a clue about the characters and story lines, but it's definately a fun read. My next few reads will include Andre Agassi - Open and In Cold Blood by Truman Copote.














Current Playlist: Wow, too many to mention but here we go. Lots of new albums released recently but some oldish tracks here too.
Current Shame - Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Finishing the leftover Easter eggs... I have 4 left I think, but it's time to throw them out. I also had a Quarter Pounder last night and feel so guilty! But it was to help *cure* my 2 day long migraine. Greasy food always helps. So I tell myself...

Current Color: Black. I always wear lots of black. And grey. That's about it. Boring.

Current Drink: Water from my SIGG bottle. Am trying to cut all softdrink and caffeine from my life, which isn't alot, but I want to bannish it for good. So for the time being, it's water all round. I'm a slave for sparkling water with lemon which I drink on weekends.














Current Food: I recently bought this book Crunch Time Cookbook: Recipes For Rapid Weight Loss and have tried a few recipes. The portions are tiny, which is what I need to drill into my head... PORTION CONTROL. From the book this week, I'm cooking Salmon Patties, Lamb Cutlets with salad and a lean Beef Stir-Fry. Our usual family favourites are being cooked in the next week as well, Beef Tacos and Spag Bol which Abigail loves.

Current Favorite Show: I am a terrible TV addict and love my shows. We have 2 nights a week without TV, but most nights we watch a few episodes of something.
At the moment, I'm loving HBO's Big Love about a fictional fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah that practices polygamy. It's so sad and disturbing at the same time. We are currently watching Season 3.
We have finally started Dexter Season 1 and while James loves it, I find it quite graphic and gory.
United States of Tara Season 2 has just started again in the US and this show is just brilliant. If you aren't watching it, start right now!

Current Wishlist:
  • A Kindle so I stop buying hard copy books and save paper. This is what I keep telling my husband, who has reservations with me buying one.
  • Blazer from The Gap.
  • Jacket from Spyder for this year's ski season. Very cool indeed.
Current Needs: Sleep. I've been struggling with little sleep all month, but the last week has been ridiculous. A facial would be lovely. A remedial massage even better! Also, finding and hiring a real estate agent to find me the perfect home.












Current Triumphs: FINALLY starting to get the wheels in motion to buy a house. We purchased a block of land 5 months ago and are reconsidering building a new house. Fortunately we can sell the land and hopefully get more than what we paid for it, but in the mean time, we need to find a house. I'm OVER apartment living in the city. So yes, the plans have started, time to get serious! Woo, more open houses on weekends.... BOO!

Current Bane(s) of my Existence: My weight. And my anxiety. Both feel out of control at the moment. *Tear*

Current Celebrity Crush: John Corbett from United States of Tara. Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow. Alison Goldfrapp of Goldfrapp.

Current Indulgence: Reading online blogs. I've spent WAY too much time this month reading online blogs. Another reason why I will need a kindle AND/OR ipad... Also buying tickets to EVERYTHING! I have tickets to see -

  • Tom Green Live (A comedian, and that's a stretch at best. He was big in the 90's).
  • The Wiggles next week with Abigail, my gorgeous older sister Jacki and nephew Michael.
  • The Silver Rose (Australian Ballet). Date night with James. Norrrrrr
  • Yo Gabba Gabba. Hell yeah! We are in the 8th row for this. Cannot wait. I foresee myself dancing for the entire show, I know all the songs, as does Abigail... AND James! YO GABBA GABBA!
  • Warren Miller's Dynasty (A ski movie, which my siblings and I see EVERY year. It's tradition as it excited and prepares us for the season ahead).
  • Splendour In The Grass. These tickets aren't on sale yet, but I will definaly be in line to buy 2.

Current #1 Blessing: My daughter Abigail. She is blossoming into the most amazing little girl. She is my light, my love. Pictured here on a hike in Thredbo over Easter break.


















Current Slang or Saying: Calling Abigail, "missy". It's such a bad habit, she will think her name is Missy soon, so I'm trying to kerb that.

Current Outfit: The usual Autumn attire. Jeans, Converse trainers, ballet flats, Bonds jumper, Bonds tracksuit, scarves, Country Road beanie if weather permits. Almost ready to wear dresses with leggings, big coats, and I'm on the prowl for a black trench coat.

Current Excitement: The possibility of moving to Dallas, Texas, USA for 3-6 months for my husband's work. Would LOVE to have the opportunity to live in The States and experience everything it has to offer. Will know more about this very soon, if the plan goes ahead we could be there as early as June/July! YEE-HAW!

Current Mood: Exhaustion. Confusion. Tired. Anxious. Nervous. Overwhelmed. But loved... which is all that matters.

Current Link: Perez Hilton and DListed for all my tasty gossip treats. I don't buy any magazines anymore, after calculating that I had a $100 a month magazine habit. Husband wasn't too impressed either when I told him. I know the gossip mags/websites are pure trash, but I'm drawn to them. I really need to know how many more plastic surgeries Heidi Montag is going to have... NOT!
