i am loving....

1. Poker. we are currently entertaining a few of simon's friends for poker. i can be good and i can also be very VERY bad. but its heaps of FUN... could i be a pro poker player in vegas? I WISH.. oh if only one of us was that good at poker ... we could both quit our day jobs and play poker professionally... HAHA NOT!! (pipe dreams)

2. Transformers. watched the movie during the week and i loved it!!! definitely a 2 thumbs up. i know its a boy movie, but i grew up with a lil brother obsessed with transformers in the 80's and it brings back soo many memories of saturday morning cartoons. ... just like teenage mutant ninja turtles, He-man, She- Ra, Jem or Gem (cant remember) ... sigh... 80's cartoons rock.

3. Breadmaker. i bought a breadmaker for a school science experiment. something to do with yeast, marvellous micro-organism ra ra ra etc etc. i am loving fresh bread!! god its sooo yummy fresh out of the oven, slab some butter over a crusty piece ... and im in coronary heaven/hell. This is going to be VERY handy with my next item..... 4. pumpkin soup. i have never ever made this before, but im a woman possessed. im going to make pumkin soup tomorrow and i cant wait! googled the recipe and its got good feedback, so i should be allright. i have caught the cooking bug. im going to be cooking up a storm during the school holidays.
5. Spend quality time with Bella. now that i have more free time, i want to spend more time with Bella. She's a heavy 15kg now - still very short, still very stumpy legs, but she sure eats like a pig. Bassets are definitely built like wombats, just longer. Bella on her Pooh bed with a piggy ear.

random stuff im in love with now... :o). clio
