Gomennasai! Life happened, so no updates for a while. And boy has it been hectic! Here is a rundown on what’s been happening.

First and foremost, Shadowfire has FINALLY gone to China! (Whoohoo! Yay! *cheering and applause*). Three years in the making, but it finally happened. I have photographic evidence of his departure as Mum, Dad, Eastonroyce and I went to Sydney to see him off (and enjoy a 5 day celebration holiday) in honour of him leaving the house and the country. We played “find the alphabet on number plates” and “spot the windmill” on the way over. Helped keep our minds off the very squishy trip squeezed into the back of Dad’s new Pajero. Sydney as always was fun. This time around, Eastonroyce and I went on a Ghost Tour of the Rocks area.

It’s always fun to see just how much strain one can put their body through at this time of year. I for one am seeing how well my body can handle double the exercise with say ten times my normal daily caloric intake. I thought I was doing pretty good until I weighed myself on Wii Fit last night. Oh dear. Reviewing the fitness graph, I see a pattern emerging. I have steadily been gaining weight since Christmas. No more excuses. After my final two Easter eggs (a Darrel lea Licorice filled egg and a humpty dumpty one), it’s back to ’sensible’ eating for me. Plus, I feel like crap anyway. Read More…
