I have decided it is time to delete the Blog :-(
Several reasons but the main reason is I just don't seem to have the time to keep up with it.
I have been popping into chat every now and then so hopefully I will catch up with you there.
For anyone that wishes to contact me my email is mandy40_293@hotmail.com

weddings twins and such
Well here I am again with more news.
I met a wonderful person last year when I was looking for assistance with my sound equipment I use for weddings. His name is Jeremy he is an American who has lived here for many years and we got married in January, he still works for me but without pay lol he now has a job full time during the week working for a sound and lighting stage company. I dont know much about it except we get tickets to some good shows on occasion.
Cassie and twins are doing well she is huge and gets quite a few strange looks when she tells people how far along she is.
Anyway thats my news ALL of it now. I kept this to myself as there were some people I wanted to tell in email first.

OMG
Cassie had some pain and they decided to keep her overnight in hospital and do a full scan the next day, they suspected a possible ectopic pregnancy. Everything is fine and Cassie she was allowed home after the scan results were done.
However the Scan showed that there are definately TWO baby's. Both heartbeats aree strong and healthy. Cassie not a happy person at the moment LOL Grandma in shock and wondering where they are all going to sleep and OMG those sleepless nights and poopy nappys.
Escher at first was happy with the news of a new baby and then she thought about all that would change and decided she didn' want another so she is NOT happy at all with the idea of twins. She wont go near Cassie and Cassie has tried to get her to talk to the baby's but she just says she will spit on them LOL (and she will if not watched carefully).
So it is going to be a long slow process getting Escher to accept the coming changes.
We took her to a baby store in the hope that she might get a little excited but she was only interested in asking when we were going to leave.
I am off to Hawaii in January and will explain all when I can catch you all in chat room I have been in a few times but noone in either of them. I am thinking we MAY leave a little earlier and take Cassie, Escher and the twins to Disneyland in the new year so maybe as it gets closer and if I am able to get the free time it might be incentive to make Escher feel better about the new arivals. Not sure on the long flight with twins however.
Anyway thats the latest catch you all soon I hope.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hi everyone who still wanders by here.
I hope you all have a wonderful christmas and I have been thinking about you all with your snow (I wish we had it here)
Life has been so busy I have completed my funeral celebrants course and as well as weddings I am now doing funerals.
So my weekdays are busy as well as my weekends. My Celebrant mentor Tony tells me it is going to get busier as all the proposals over Christmas and New year then Valentines day will start coming in and sadly all the deaths from suicide caused by depression.
I have been very lucky with the funerals I have been asked to do. I refuse to do childrens funerals as I couldnt handle my own childrens I cant imagine watching a parent go through that and not show emotion, I have only had elderly people who have been expected to pass on so far.
Several wiccan funerals as well which has been wonderful.
Anyway enough of me Escher is growing like a weed and is off to big school in January, she has also taken a liking for RockNRoll Dancing so she is having dancing classes twice a week and Violin lessons on 2 other nights. She asked me for a new Piano on the weekend as some of the keys on mine don't work anymore, so I guess in a few months or so Grandma will be up for a new Piano. She is showing great potential with dance and music but sadly none in singing as yet. Di I mention the sound of a cat screaching??? LOL Cassie has found a boyfriend, quite a nice young man with a decent job in accounting LOL (She said she didnt want anyone at all like her parents) He is great with Escher and is tryingto talk me in to letting him move in here however I have kept a steady no on it as they have only been together 3 or 4 months and I think that they need a little dating time before they settle down to living together as a family, plus not much room I was thinking if they stay together we may have to buy bigger (I just went smaller) oh well it happens I guess.
They have discussed moving into their own place however Escher gets very hysterical at the idea of not living with Grandma and the Dr has suggested that Cassie consider leaving moving out for a year or so. I forgot to mention that Escher started to display signs of severe behaviour problems a few months ago and we have had her to several specialists to find out what the cause could be. She will be sitting quite happily watching TV or playing and the next thing we know she is kicking and screaming and throwing things around the place. My concern was some form of mental disorder or tumor however she has been tested and neither are present. In fact the opposite her IQ is extremely high and the Dr's feel boredom has a lot to do with it, sudden changes tend to upset her so when plans are made now they are made with great care not to let her know until everything is definate and there is no chance of cancelations. Cassie is coping reasonably well with it all but struggles with patience at times.
They feel the important thing is to keep Esch busy as possible with things she likes doing which is why she has 2 nights a week dance and 2 music.
AK if your reading this I hope your sitting down because I have GAINED WEIGHT lol yep I sure have the middle age spread is catching up to me. Holy cow I have hips LOL I have actually gone up 2 dress sizes from a size 8 to a size 12 (not sure what that is over there). My Dr is quite pleased and I am feeling much much better however I dont want to gain anymore.
Still single so the weight gain hasnt helped in the gaining a man department, nor has the heavy workload.
Iggy, AK, Punkn and everyone else Have a great holiday seasonand I hope to catch up with you all soon.
You all are always in my thoughts and love sent your way daily.

Hi everyone.
Well not sure if anyone checks in here or not anymore but thought I would drop a line anyway.
As usual I have been busy with work and family. It has been an unusually wet and cold winter also but it has been nice just the same. We always welcome rain.
I have popped into the chat rooms occasionally but they all seem to be empty so I ressureected facebook and hopefully cancatch up with many of you there.
Escher is growing so fast and as cheeky as ever. She is doing so well and will have an early entry into "big school" She is now competent with the computer and enjoys playing many games on here which has advanced her with her numbers and reading to a year or so ahead of the others.
I have started buying itunes cards and downloading music, Esch sat on my knee once whilst I did this (Big mistake) later that week I went to download some songs for an upcomng wedding and all my credit was gone. Feeling kinda peeved I emailed itunes with a strong complaint. Then went about organising music onto my little memory stiock for that weekend and my folder seemed ot have grown a little $20 worth of tunes that I didnt buy but Esch had quite happily purchased. Another email to itunes apologising for my previous one and explaining what had happened. I think they got a laugh a week later I received $20 worth of credit on my account.
Cassie is doing well and is looking at returning to study when Esch starts "big school" she has finally decided what she wants to do with her life so a lonnnnnng haul through University with a teachers degree as the target. I hope she sticks with it this time. Kirsten has almost finsihed her final year at school and doing very well, she is now a jarate instructor as well as continuing on with her music and horses and works part time as an assistant at the local vets.
Geoff is plodding along as usual, not working at this stage but has a job in his sights that will have him travelling across Australia in the trains. Hopefully he will apply and get it.
Greg has settled in with a new man in his life and I actually like this one lol. I hope it works for them. I am still single, available but dont have time for fussing about it.
We dont see a lot of each other lately as I am always locked in my office working or out and about doing something.
Summer coming up I have scheduled a few weekends off so we can get some camping in.. I love work but am missing my family and friends, online and offline.
