October Q&A

Thought I would try to precis the month again. It's been a busy one!
The year is rocketing along, work is getting veeerrry busy, and Miss Jessica is becoming so mobile and talkative (and so funny. As I write she is shotputting rice crackers, trying to share them with Jersey). Bring on Christmas.... only 1 more month until we can put the tree up!

What books and/or magazines did I read this month?
Started reading Dare to Discipline by Josh McDowell, and read a bit of Affluenza again. Hope to read some Ravi Zacharias next month; Matt and I have really been enjoying listening to his podcasts while driving/working. Flicked through Donna Hay magazine (a gift from the Dougies 4 for my birthday), *sigh*, such a beautiful looking magazine. Wish I had time to cook beautiful food at the moment!

What movies and/or tv shows did I watch this month?
Watched a bit of Scrubs, but that was about it. And the occasional bit of Sesame Street and Raggs, of course! We're back to not really watching TV again at the moment - nothing on the tube really interests us, and who really needs TV when you've got a good selection of DVDs and video podcasts?

What illnesses or health concerns did I have in October?
None! Feeling pretty good (although could always do with some more sleep)...

What fun things did I do with my friends and/or family?
Made two trips to Cape Patterson with Matty, Jessica and Jersey, and spent a few hours in St Kilda after work a few Mondays back. Had lots of fun at home with Jessica.

What new foods, recipes or restaurants did I try in March?
None really. Same old same old.

What special or unusual purchases did I make?
Started the Christmas shopping; that's always pretty special. Hope to have it finished in the next few weeks. We also upgraded our modem speed and increased our broadband download limit. Matt and I have had lots of fun downloading podcasts and videos.

What were this month’s disappointments?
Still not getting a regular walk with Jersey, didn't get around to washing the car this month, and still haven't done my tax!

What were my accomplishments this month?
Matt and I finally tidied up the garden and put some new mulch down. It looks much better!
