Bella!

Sooo.. I'm sitting at the computer.. just fluffing around.. actually I was talking to a little someone about a certain type of octopus.. aaaanyways I hear the clippity clop of what sounds like hoofies walking along.. and you see its been a while.. since I have heard those clippity clops and well it took a few.. quite a few clippity clops for it to register that it could possibly be horse lady! But once it did.. I shot up! like a rocket! which meant I overshot my mark and missed grabbing my phone to be able to take a picture and I lost precious seconds having to go back for it! Those seconds really were precious coz she was very nearly right out of view! And not to mention it took a bit for the phone to launch the camera app.. which happened to be on the video part.. and I didn't want to waste even more seconds changing that.. and videos are a little better.. right? Anyways.. by the time I managed to pull it all together I only just got to capture horse lady! She is the one walking on the footpath away from you.. by the parked red car.. you can just make her out.. and her swinging tail!

click here for the video!

Bella is in a way.. my lochness monster! You only manage to catch glimpses of her!

I also just had a thought.. Georg & Mike who will be here in 2 weeks.. might actually be able to see her in person! There will be international witnesses to the horse lady! 

Awesomesauce!

It's Easter, Bitches!

The Easter break has been beautiful! seriously beautiful weather! Em and I finally got the balcony all sorted with the table and chairs and a few plants.. its not the biggest but we make it look decent and function well for the small space we have and Nemo just loves being out there. We got 4 different types of strawberry plants to grow in a little pot.. hopefully we will get a few to nibble here and there and the birds wont steal them. The greenhouse isn't up this year, its in the storage space in the attic coz we are away for the main part of the growing. Small sacrifice for the joy of EuroTrip2011!

It's hard to believe that the one duo of the awesomefoursome is heading off to start their first part of the journey in just a few days.. and then in just a couple more weeks they will be here and we will be showing them a side of Sweden.. the calm and pretty side.. the side that is like us.. yes I am saying that we are calm and pretty! Emma being calm and me being pretty of course! hahaha

We got started on some of the baked goods that we will be serving the duo, dreams, mandelmusslor and cinnamon rolls. Some other things are purchase things coz well.. we don't have the time to actually make the stuff when they are here and those things can't be frozen well... and we don't wanna serve 'gross' stuff.. hopefully they do actually like everything we serve up.. I know I like all.. or well nearly all that we are serving!

Heres a little video of Nemo being a sook while we were making the dreams..

We headed off to Kristianstad on Saturday and it was a beaut day, for some reason before going I had forgotten it was a) Easter and b) everyone had been paid so it was a little nuts! We picked up a few funky things.. how could we not.. its Easter and we have been paid! LOL

Once we got home, we settled onto the balcony for a beer.. and cider for Em, before heading around to the parentals for a BBQ.. where we tested out a new yummo potato salad and got to meet this little 8 month old fella!

He was SO awesome! I played and ran around with him lots and lots and even more than lots.. I am not sure who had more fun! I loved it tho.. especially when he jumped over the soccer ball with a very well chewed and used santa toy hanging from his mouth! his cute little legs! I chased him.. he chased me.. It was pure awesomesauce!

Happy days!

Eagle!

Apparently time not only flies when you are having fun.. but it also flies when you are not having fun. I have no idea where this month has gone.. I have no excuses as to why I haven't blogged.. I just haven't. *shrugs*

Last week marked the arrival of Eagle.. aka the iPad.
I named it Eagle.
I skinned Eagle.

Doesn't it just look.. choice!

It wasn't the 'best' fit.. actually to be honest I think its the worst fit of all the GelaSkins I have tried.. skinning the 3G was even a better fit. But in saying that.. a little hacking, sadly I'm not so good at the straight hacking.. especially when it is already ON the device lol.. anyways as I was saying, it was nothing a little hacking couldn't remedy.

The iPad is a lovely little toy.. however some of the prices that they charge for apps to go on it are.. in my opinion a little steep. I was saddened that the Words With Friends app was really poorly designed for the iPad and glad I only tested it with the free version.. it was deleted as fast as it was put on. 

Another thing that is really poorly designed is the app store.. seriously, I thought it sucked to look at on the iPhone but the iPad makes the iPhone look genius! Mind you I have never held Apple's app store or iTunes in high regard. I don't even like looking at it on the computer lol

At this stage we don't have too many apps on there.. but I'm sure that will all change as time goes on.. Emma is pretty darn good at grabbing apps. One app that I really do laugh my ass off at when we start using it, is the preloaded Photo Booth app.. Em and I now have many many many rather flattering photos of ourselves while playing with this.. there's even a couple of Nemo.. where he does actually have a poodle look going on! Anyways.. here's just one of the glorious photos of yours truly!

Ok moving on.. the weather has really picked up.. walking around we see many new signs of life.. just this morning I saw ducks chasing each other.. which gave me mixed emotions actually lol. We have had many blue skies and are even able to walk around in short sleeves! It is just pure bliss! One thing that isn't blissful is Nemo's sookie la la ass! We really need to get onto fixing up the balcony so I can kick him out there when he starts to cry.. he likes to watch all the people and things and keeps him rather content. Mind you he cries more when Emma is home than anything.. prolly coz Eagle gets more attention! hahaha

As I look over from writing this I see Nemo laying on the floor looking up at me with big sad eyes as if to say.. "can we go now?" so on that note I shall go and head off into the glorious day we have been graced with and walk him and hopefully make him just that little bit happier..

Coooookies!

What did I do with my weekend?

I made vanilla ice cream with smashed up m&m's and fudgey bits in it..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..

m&m cookies!

and what do you get when you combine those things?

You get an awesome ice cream sammie is what!

Don't you just love the wonderful little mounds of cookie dough waiting to be baked? I sure do love my little cookie scoop! Good buy Em! *nods* and this time I didn't even 'break' it once! Go me!

Not much else happened on the weekend.. Em played lots of her new Wii game.. that I stupidly got for her.. why do I keep doing this to myself? Oh that's right coz I'm an awesome gf thats why! *straightface*

And now, I am going to go and eat a cookie.. or two with a coffee. It's early I know, but I'm an adult.. and we can do what we want when we want.
