101!

Thanks for the title post Helen! :)

I'm only going to do my 10 random facts this post. I was going to put some more holiday photos but don't really feel like resizing them right now. And I haven't scrapped for over 2 weeks. Not really feeling like it at the moment.

Random Facts:
1. Had an incident at work last week that has rattled me. It involved me fearing my safety. I'm not getting over it like I thought I would and spend a lot of time either crying or sleeping. I have been through worse crap in my life than this so I'm angry that this is affecting me like it is. Yesterday, I had a really, really bad day with a client as well. This resulted in me melting down in front of my boss who is now concerned for my safety (and sanity).
2. The MOTH who hasn't said anything but I think is worried about me offered to take me to the movies last weekend. We didn't get there on the weekend but on Wednesday night we all went to see 'Mamma Mia'. I absolutely adored it (especially Pierce Brosnan with no shirt), Miss Six thought it was fun (her fave bit is when someone in the movie does an Elvis impersonation) and the MOTH is fence sitting. He neither loved it nor hated it and thinks that Pierce Brosnan singing is just wrong! lol I also loved the cameos from Benny and Bjorn.
3. Miss Six is sick - again!!! Will it never end? We've told her that she has to eat properly and get well or we won't be going to the Ekka!
4. We are planning a trip to the Ekka when it's on. I haven't been to it in about 10 years and Miss Six has never been. We're lucky that although she adores rides and sample bags, she also loves seeing cattle, birds and stuff. So that makes the day fill out a bit more.
5. Little Miss Ava is still adorable - but you all knew I was going to say that. I now look after her two days a week. The other day when she arrived is the first time that she recognised me and smiled and put her arms out for me to take her. I was over the moon. However, the fact that she only wants Ma all the time wears a little thin - especially when I have things to do and she doesn't want anything to do with Pa or her little aunt.
6. Ava's mummy is now showing her belly. It's pretty noticeable. She is due for her 18 week scan any day.
7. I have been told the proposed names for the new baby and I freaked out over the girl one (too many bad memories with a person of the same name). I asked if I could give her a nickname and was told that I could. lol And no... I'm not telling the names as I've been sworn to secrecy.
8. This weekend is my birthday - and I've also got the weekend off from work. We're planning on doing the markets on Saturday but apart from that we have no other plans. I think I'm more excited about having the weekend off than having a birthday!
9. I have finished reading 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini. I really enjoyed it. I thought for a time that it was a true story but eventually realised that although the events are based in fact, the characters are fictitious. However, it is extremely eye opening. I am now reading 'Sophie's Journey' by Sally Collings. The whole book is a series of interviews with people associated with Sophie Delezio. I'm enjoying it and finding it extremely interesting. I think when someone is constantly in the media, you forget that this is a normal little girl undergoing life threatening conditions and the impact that it has on her and those closest to her is often unnoticed. I'd recommend it.
10. I'm loving the cold weather at the moment. The amazing thing about cold weather and bracing winds is the ability to make me feel alive!

That's about it for this week. Sorry it isn't much. Maybe next week I'll have a layout or two to share.
