I am having a lot of trouble with my email updates at the moment, and if you are currently a subscriber you will know that you have been getting numerous emails even when there have been no updates on my blog. I have now cancelled Feedblitz, and have switched to Feedburn, which should hopefully work as it should. For those of you on my current emailing list, I will send an email on how to join, for those who wish to get an email when I update so that you don’t have to keep checking back you can subscribe now by clicking HERE, or using the box in the sidebar.
~Layout…
As a follow-up to the last post, here is a layout that was published in the previous issue of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, I also have another coming out in the next issue, which is a very simple layout of my Bronte Boo, but it’s one I love, so watch out for it!

~MAC’s with viruses, it can’t be so…
I stumbled across this little MAC virus. What? MAC’s get viruses? Apparently they do. This is the good kind and it’s so smart it works with gravity!…. Check it out at Troika and watch the video below… Judy and Angela, I was tempted to send this to you! MAC’s have all the cool stuff *sigh*
~Have you heard the news?
The current issue of For Keeps is the last one! The magazine will now incorporate cardmaking and will be called For Keeps Creative Paper, you can read all about it here. ANgela, did ask a relevant question…will they still publish Digital layouts? Hmmmm.
~Should I?
Oh I know I am insane, but I am thinking of redesigning my blog again… call me crazy…hey! That was just a figure of speech! I really want a theme with two sidebars in it, the question is, do I want to do all that coding again and have all those headaches and ridiculously late nights…. I think I’ll sleep on it, but I’d like your opinions please.
~Movie Review…
Suzy and I went and saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall yesterday and we had a great laugh, it certainly isn’t for the faint of heart, lots of full frontal nudity (although I don’t think any females can be included in this, Suzy, is that right?). Lots of funny lines and a few poignant moments too, can’t pick out too many favourite bits as I enjoyed the whole thing, but the singing in the bar scene was funny and several scenes with the sexually dysfunctional newlyweds were priceless, there was also a bit of Karma Sutra thrown in too.
~MAC dinner….
On Monday night the MAC girls had another get togather, Shez, Ruth, Angela and I drove down to Melbourne on Monday night to meet up with the lovely and talented Karen from New Zealand. She was out here having a holiday with her lovely family, we had a beautiful meal at Docklands and chatted the night away. Unfortunatley, Sharon and Judy were unable to make it this time, but Deb (Judy’s gorgeous daughter) was able to come and stand in for Judy and she also brought Corey along as well, it was great to see these love birds together. It was a long drive and Shez, Ruth and I got home close to 1.30am, so it was extremely hard to front up to work next day, but of course we all did… Photo’s are still on the camera at the moment, but I will post when I get around to downloading them.
~Quinn’s Birthday…
It was Quinn’s birthday on Sunday and she had a lovely day, she only got one little present, but don’t feel sorry for her, it was an 80gb iPod Video Classic!! She is soooo happy with it, it’s a long story but she wouldn’t usually get something so pricey, but just to see her happiness made it worth every cent. And to top it off, she is staying at a friends house tonight (Rachael’s) for a sleepover, out of the blue, about 20 minutes ago, I got a call from Rach’s Mum, she just wanted to tell me what a great kid Quinn is, that she is respectful, polite, fun to be with and an all round pleasure…. well, I couldn’t be any more proud than I am at this moment… it was lovely for Simone to call me just to say that, but even better that others see the special little girl that I do!
EDITED TO ADD:
Almost forgot, we had another Puerto Rico night on Friday night, i won the 1st game, which brought my winning streak up to 7, Brian ended it when he won the 2nd game, and Suzy won the last…Link is still yet to win a game. (Sorry Link, just reporting the facts). We followed it up with the last episode of Lost which Suzy and Link hadn’t yet seen, and which I am glad I watched again…
Leave me some love….pretty please ;-)
Stumble It!

Love that photo and the LO and loved the utube movie! Well knowing you if you are not 100% satisfied you will redo your website…. looks really great the way it is to me though. So sorry to have missed the mac get together but by all reports it was a rip roaring success as all of these events have been… how could it not be with such a talented group of funloving geeks. Lucky Quinn – that’s a fabulous gift and you are ensuring the next generation of geeks and gadget s—-ts……
LOL, oh thanks for the video link! that looks so cool.. not sure that I’d have much success turning my heavy monster upside down though 😉
As for your blog I do love it as it is, but I understand wanting to change it… but are you up to the 3am nights again 😉
I am so glad Quinn had a great b’day! Many happy returns young lady and enjoy that present! You lucky girl! I lve the blog as it is Lee….change would confuse me for a while anyway but i can see why you want to do it! LOL. Maybe give it a month or so!
Sure I haven’t won any games of Puerto Rico yet, but you conviently forgot to mention what a dab hand I am with the dice.
Allow me to enlighten …
We begin each game with a roll of a single dice to see who starts. I won each roll with my practiced touch – and it’s a little known but mathematically proven fact that the person going first is substantially disadvantaged. I’d explain the proof, but I’m working from a keyboard without the necessary symbols.
nooooooooo, your blog is perfect, LOL, I don’t know how you do the late late nights, kick back and take it easy after all the hard work on the website, so glad you got to the movies, it was a very funny, yes the newlyweds were a classic. happy happy birthday to Quinn, bet you’re loving the new pressie. Thanks for driving me to Melb, it was a lovely night out.
You are the ‘Puerto Rico’ queen !
What a great compliment on the way you and Brian are raising your girls Lee, we know how wonderful they both are but isn’t it lovely to hear that others see it too 🙂
Once again thank you for bringing the girls to Melbourne, it was a pleasure to be with you all again and to meet the beautiful Shez and handsome Corey, hopefully next year I will be able to host you!!!! 🙂
