Well, thanks to Kevin I now have a new way to spend more time on the computer. Hello??? Didn’t I tell you I was using Rescue Time (as recommended by Kerrie) to cut down my time on the computer? I spent about an hour yesterday setting up my account on face book. And proabably another hour this morning adding in places I’ve visited to a map- which really is pretty cool. Makes me realize how many places we’ve been and how many we’ve still yet to visit – many continents have not yet been touched.

Anyway, if you have a facebook account or just want to visit please follow the link."

Japanese

Posted on by Libby Withnall

I’ve been tagged by Tina to write my blog name in Japanese

Japanese-Wordscopy

Life is a journey translates to ta ki lu ku… kisi…ka…zu mo do ski to ku fu

And I just love my name… ta ki tu tu fu… how fun is that?

This was actually a bit of a trip down memory lane as it’s a little known fact that I did in fact study Japanese for 6 months. It was a 2 year ( I think) course run one night a week at the local tafe. I did enjoy it and can’t really remember why I stopped, or why I started learning Japanese. This was back when I was working (way before kids). Unfortunately I remember very little of what I learnt, mainly pronouciation. It’s funny, until this meme I’d forgotten all about my short stint of learning Japanese.

Feeling flat

I’ve been feeling a bit strange the last week or so. Not depressed or down in the dumps, not terribly tired. I’ve decided I feel flat – whatever that means. I just don’t seem to have any ompf…. any get up and go. I still haven’t been to the gym – must be over 3 weeks now (and I LOVE going working out). This week it’s been raining so I haven’t even been walking. I’m not making the most healthy choices with my snacks. I don’t want to go anywhere or do much of anything. As I said… no ompf.

Lucky for me my Mum has come over the last few days and helped me sort out, organize and clean quite a few rooms in the house – so at least I’ve been doing something productive.

We’ve done the wardrobe…

the bathroom…

the laundry… (look baskets, empty shelves and new place for the girls school bags)

the family room and the loungeroom.

So what’s the plan? Today I’m going to spend some time in the scrapbook room (after doing reading at school). I need to tidy, then do some layouts. I’m debating going to the gym – and will try to make myself go – I know I’m be happy once I do! We’ve got a long weekend here in Australia so I plan to get a few more rooms organised (with Kevin’s help), spend some time with the family, spend some time thinking about my diet and exercise plan (or current lack thereof) and hopefully find my ompf. If anyone’s seen please send it back!
