The progressive blog

The progressive blog.

You know that feeling when you really want to blog because it has been far too long...and you had all these ideas leading up to it and then when you actually sit down to do it...you draw a blank?

Well today I'm going to try a progressive blog. It is literally going to take me all day. I will leave the page open and when I remember something again...I will come and type it down. Capeesh?

9am: Google the word "Capeesh". The spell checker is not picking up the word I mean. Found it:

“Capisce?” is American pseudo-Italian slang for “understand?”In formal Italian, capisce is pronounced “cah-PEE-shay,” but in slangy Italian and English it’s “cah-PEESH.”

Well that's some great learning right there. And its only 9:02 on a Monday morning. Must be an Italian cultural themed 24 hours, because last night we watched a funny as rom-com called "When in Rome" with Kristen Bell and some other tall dark and handsome fella. I recommend it if you like predictable rom-coms. 

Later.....

I was looking back on some photos of a family get together yesterday to find a descent one of me. Alas...my  eyes are shut in most of them. Lame.

True story....when I was going for a passport photo a few years ago, Miss joy was 18months old  also needed a passport photo. I thought she would take a million pics and wouldn't sit still etc. Wrong. She clicked first shot and I needed several (10) shots because my eyes were shut in all of them. In the end we had to go flash-less. What a dink. Another embarrassingly true story my drivers license photo looks hideous because the same thing happened...but that time I made my eyes extra wide open so they wouldn't shut and it looks ridiculous.
At least hubby looks lovely. Weirdly Miss Joy is now starting to do the same thing...maybe we should both get our eyes tested.

We took the kids up the Auckland Skytower yesterday. The glass floors are so cool.


Later still...

I am so over talent shows..the voice...american idol...blah blahs got talent. Its too much.
But last night we caught the end of NZ's Got Talent. Did anyone see that "loop song musician". That was amazing. Here's the link in case you missed it.


I've never seen anyone do that before.

Okay enough of this. I better get some stuff done. I am the queen of procrastination.
I've decided to get back into some fitness and healthy eating. So I will avoid that chocolate brownie that a friend bought me. It's calling my name from the fridge. Eat me, eat me. I will resist and do my DVD exercise instead.

Many many many moments later.

Okay so now my arms hurt and I can barely type....but. I. must. see. this. through.
What was I thinking restarting my new fit lifestyle with a Gillian Micheal's DVD. I should have gone for a gentle walk.
Bah. I need a lie down.



I found the link to this on Pinterest. Its a banana slicer. I love a good kitchen gadet but this  has the funniest reviews ever. They really are taking the mickey. There are 250 reviews most of them are pretty funny.

I love funny people.

My current blogging pet peeve: Going to leave a comment on blogger accounts and they have word verification....which you need a PHD to decipher. Or the the "must wait till blogger approval". People please.  I need to read the published comment...in case a) I made a spelling mistake...or b) it made no sense....and finally c) sometimes I'm just nosy and want to know what everyone else said!

As you can see you when you leave me a comment (which I know you will!!!)...it has been made extremely easy! No word verification or waiting.
JUST. SAYING.
