WOW!!! that is cool.. dashboard just told me that I clicked up 200 posts!!! Cool.. who said I wouldn't last hey!!
Anyway...
Organising our holiday for next week... we are heading to Morgan in SA on the Murray river for a little holiday with friends of ours from SA... Terrific group of people (five families staying in two houses - 13 kids in total from 13 years to 4 months...) and been on the telephone organising food, keys pick up, TV's for the house to watch the AFL grand final etc.. getting very excited!
One friend, N, just lost her mother (like in the last two weeks..) so she is really looking forward to a break. She was saying for surreal the whole situation was after her mother passed. I am sure a few of you could relate to this. But she said she walked out of the hospital and there are still cars driving around, people walking past her... the world continues! She had to get fuel after leaving the hospital, and crying at the petrol station, she just couldn't believe the feeling of 'life going on'... thinking one of the biggest life moments has just happened, in losing her mother, and the world just didn't stop!
I was telling her about my old WW leader who lost her son last year (9 years old) and how she went and brought a huge block of chocolate while they removed his organs (for donation).. lining up in myers with her huge 'comfort' food... while people just continued to shop around her, oblivious to her personal situation... that her son would be gone by the time she got back to hospital.. surreal.. totally surreal..
Anyway... kicking some serious arse at the moment! the only thing that I tasted that was a little naughty was a little bit of the batter from my Orange cake (well.. I should say Kate's (private) orange cake...) Pushing myself harder at Gym.. ticking all of my little boxes!
Day 2
Food: Great (one lick of Orange cake batter the only sweet/fatty thing)
Exercise: got up at 6.15am and walked without my MP3 player , was flat, in the fuckin frost!
Choices: Organised my house so I could study without a nagging thought of the housework!

You are sounding great hon but sorry to hear about your friend. It sure is surreal. A holiday away with good friends is a fantastic idea!
Do you ever see upset people and wonder if you should ask them if they're ok? When I know that someone at work has had someone close to them die I never mention it. If it were me I would want everyone to ignore the fact and let me get on with not bursting into tears, but it's hard to know what others want.
Good on you for sticking to your guns. You sound so energised and bubbly! Have you called Craig yet?
Have a brilliant time on holiday! We're going away for a week with Geelong supporters - that could either be awesome, or hell!
Congrats on the 200th post! I'm looking forward to the next 200... :)
Life does go on after losing a loved one, and I think that is one of the hardes things to come to terms with... when both my brothers died I just couldn't believe how everyone could carry on ... and I almost stopped 'living' myself cos I didn't feel 'right' about still being here when they were not! Strange ..... it takes a lot of time for that feeling to pass. Anyway, it is a beautiful day here!!! And congrats on the 200th post... I am coming up to my BLOG ANNIVERSARY soon!!!! Amazing stuff this blogging.
Congratulations on the 200!
I sometimes walk around, looking at people, and wonder what their story is- I know that there must be drama and heartache in the lives of a lot of them, but life goes on, completely unaware.
Enjoy your holiday.
