Random things.... about me...

  • I have an amazing memory of the 'little' things from my life. Example.. i can remember being sent into the bank to make loan repayments for my parents house with a pay in book.. I can even remember how much it was a month ($56..) I would have been 9 when they had totally owned the house... I remember many many little things.. like what I was wearing on my 8th birthday
  • My parents split up when I was just pregnant with Emilie... totally shocked for a day, then realised it should have happened many years prior.
  • My parents are now both happy...
  • I have had a friend since I was a baby.. she was born 11 months after me and she lived 5 houses from mine. We have never argued and still to this day i believe I could tell her anything and she would still be a friend forever...
  • I used to eye off Jack when he was going out with someone else. He would buy his lunch from an cafe across the road from my office.. I would just happen to time my lunch at the same time... I used to eye off his HUGE Biceps!!!
  • About 5 people last weekend at Jack's school reunion asked jack if he worked out!!! (he doesn't.. just has a great build naturally..)
  • I lived with my in-laws for 6 months before we got married. Jack was transferred to the south east of SA and it took me 6 months to get a transfer with my work... I loved living with them and cried when I had to leave!
  • I think that I am very close to my siblings. We speak each week.
  • I used to live with a lovely lady when i first started working and another friend would stay there on Saturday night so we could go to the pubs. We would often get home at 4 - 5 am, then her parents would collect her at 8.30am to take her to AOG church..
  • We moved in together not long after that and she left the church...
  • I still have one grandparent from each side of my family alive..
  • Some of my best childhood memories are with my grandparents on holidays.
  • My family where big on holidays when we where kids...
  • I always wanted to be a nurse but I feel ill at the sight of blood.. still do. I had to re-think my career path.
  • I don't think i could go back to my old profession now. I used to evicted families from houses.. once I put a family with 4 kids on the street. Sure.. they didn't pay their rent and had repeated chances. Heart strings get tighter once you have kids.
  • I once uncovered a huge crop of drugs in the riverland. The tenants had a huge water consumption on a out of town property. I went out to look for a water leak and found a huge dope crop. Made front page of the paper. scared the crap out of me.
  • I evicted them as well....
  • I once rolled my car... five times with no seat belt on... only scar is on my shoulder.
  • I was in be childhood bested friends wedding 8 days after the crash. Her mother had to alter my dress to cover the big scabs.
  • I named my sister... she was un-named for 2 days after she was born. On the family farm we had a cow called Sally...
  • Sally doesn't like her name....
  • My brother and sister think that I have only been funny twice in my life, but I try all the time. One time when they through that I was funny was on my birthday one year I rang everyone at 6.30 in the morning, asking why they hadn't rang for my birthday.
  • I can't tell you the other one.... very naughty
  • But I try... example. My sister is VERY protective of her good recipes. Over the top protective. I once rang the aunt of her ex-boyfriend to her a great salad recipe and i also spent over two hours going through her cook books for her lemon tart recipe. She cut up bad when she found out that I sourced them out. Emilie's kindergarten is producing a recipe book this year as a fundraiser and I have put in "emilie's aunt Sally's Spiniach, pinenut and noodle salad" and Emilie's Aunt Sally's lemon tart".. she doesn't know, but she will LOVE her christmas present from Emilie.. her recipes published!
  • I only learnt to cook in the last two years.. now I love it!
  • My aunt once told me I had "Thunder thighs".. i was about 10... I thought it was a compliment.
  • I love giving birth... If i could tag team and pregnant lady at first contraction, deliver the baby for them I would.. love it!
  • I have written off two cars.. both Bubble back lasers...
  • I kept all of my baby teeth.. I was saving them to cash in all at once..
  • Then I discovered the tooth fairy isn't real.
  • I still have them...
  • I better go to bed... another big day tomorrow..

Thanks yummy mummy, a totally good read, thanks...
you have given me a great smile on my face to start the day, more people should do this on their blogs...
Have a great busy day, with the little ones!

Kate said...

Lol, well now you've been funny at least 3 times, because this post made me laugh out loud. Thanks :-)

How bizarre I had to evict a family once, same situation, non payers, heaps of chances - felt so bad I left the job.

The most stupid thing was however, because they had children, the council was obliged to house the family, they went to a hostel for 3 nights and then moved to a perm home - the one they had just been evicted from. It took 3 days cos the council needed to do some repairs before the "new" family could move in.

What a great post!! I think your sister will be so proud once her recipes have been published, but so funny that she is so protective of them.

It is great to be in such a close loving family. Your children are very lucky to have this legacy passed on to them.

Have a great day Kirsty, and oh, if I am crazy enough to ever consider giving birth again (which I am not) I am going to call you so you can do it for me ;)

Hi Kristy :)

I have to ask. What is it exactly that you LOVE about giving birth?

I enjoyed reading this post, thanks!

Kt said...

oh i loved reading this :) i had to laugh you named your sister after a cow!

Jocelyn said...

Ha Ha, I am fantastic at being pregnant, but I suck at giving birth - maybe we should talk... lol

Just kidding, I already have three kids, thats enough for me now.

Ahhh that last one about the thunder thighs made me larf!!! How hilarious!!

I did some things like that too! Scary job having to evict people, bet your glad you dont do it now!!

Kathryn said...

I'd hate having to evict people even though some of them really know how to play the system. I didn't get to name my sister but now she's grown up, she prefers the name I picked for her (Lola) to her own name :D

This is a great post!
And I would LOVE to tag team with you for the birth of my baby - pregnancy has been no worry - but EEEK at giving birth!

Kerry said...

I was going to name the girl I never got Sally. Your sister should LOVE her name.
I liked being pregnant and having babies too. I just couldn't cope once I got them home!!

Great Post and so is the one about the cellulite cream.
See you at the footy????

Thanks for the laugh Kirsty - who says you're not funny? Poor Sally, I bet she hates it every time you tell that story also.
