on dvd - 10:26 PM
(filed under 'general')

we just watched on dvd, double vision, or in its original language, shuang tong. it was a bit scary, but pretty good. it was a nice change from watching typical hollywood movies. if you see it at the video shop, it's definitely worth watching.

exploding nappy - 07:56 PM
(filed under 'baby')

well, we had the impressive vomit, now we've had the exploding nappy. as far as exploding nappies go, from what some have told me, this was pretty mild. i got a fair wack on my jeans leg, he managed to spread it down his own legs a bit & some on his socks. my jeans are now soaking in the washing machine. there's not much better to identify you as a mother than poo stains. lol! *chuckle*

friday five - 12:09 PM
(filed under 'memes')

the friday five. again, not on a friday, but hey, these things happen in farming:

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
sometimes i like to shop. mostly i enjoy shopping for cameras, so obviously it doesn't happen all that often, despite my camera fixation since cameras aren't all that cheap. these days with a baby the budget doesn't stretch quite as far as it used to, so cameras & other toys aren't all that readily shopped for. any shopping which i do these days is usually something for riley, or something to make my life as a mum a little easier.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?
dinner & drinks out at the hen's night of a friend. if that doesn't count as shopping, then the time before that was groceries.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
online, for a few reasons. i don't have to leave the house, i can shop around for prices easily, i can find details about the item & opinions & ratings from other people as well. in a shop you have only the opinion of the person selling it to you & as if they're going to tell you the truth if it sucks.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
umm .. i think so. my sister & i got something like 20c when we were really young & it might have gone up as high as $5 by the time we were teenagers. it was a really long time ago, i can't remember it very well.

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
i have to think about that one. most of the things i've bought these days i've been really pleased with. the only thing i can think of is a bottle of milk which dad bought when i arrived in melbourne which went off way before the use by date.

like a scene from the exorcist - 11:48 AM
(filed under 'baby')

i thought riley's previous big vomit was special, but yesterday at mum's he topped it in a big way. it was just like a scene from the exorcist except it was yellow-white flavour instead of green. he was sitting in his bouncy seat just looking around serenely. there was no build up, no warning, just "bleuuurrrgh! bleuuurrrgh!" & then "bleuuurrrgh!" again.

it wasn't just a dribble. it was three full on, absolute gushes! it kind of scared me, i was reduced to emitting a strained, "oh my gosh" & vainly trying to block the flow with a vomit rag, but he didn't seem worried in the slightest. a whole change of clothing was in order on that one, as well as a new spew rag & i even had to wash the cover of his bouncy chair. fortunately, i had his waterproof mat under him so only the tiniest bit got on mum's carpet. in fact, i was almost ready to go home & i was going to take the mat from under him to pack away, but thought better of it at the last moment.

after i got over the shock & cleaned him up, i was really glad that it hadn't happened in the car, or while i was holding him, or in a shopping centre or something.

mum said that my spews as a baby were even bigger than that. i was a refluxy baby from about three to six months & mum said that it would take a whole, full sized flat nappy to clean me up. i'm glad that riley doesn't have reflux.

chocolate milk - 07:26 AM
(filed under 'general')

in response to a comment below, the recipe for instant chocolate milk just the way you like it:


mix boiling water with drinking chocolate in jar until smooth. add tap water to fill to the top & mix. put on lid & refrigerate. when the desire hits, give it a good shake, pour an inch or so into the bottom of a glass, top up with cold milk, drink, enjoy.
