This weekend ...

I'm going to TRY my hardest to be creative. Even my husband has noticed my lack of scrapping, never a good sign.

So for me this weekend will be spent:

- Sewing a camera strap
- Sewing a phone cover for Zaly's iPhone (something I promised and purchased the materials for in SEPTEMBER!)
- Doing minimum 2 LO's
- Finding where I stashed my knitting things

It should be manageable if I pull my head in, considering other than cooking and driving Zaly to and from work (oh and the general cleaning washing clothes etc) I only have a run tomorrow afternoon at 4pm with Mel and Trisha (Trisha isn't running she's being tortured in other ways by me). Can you believe that I can now run 5kms, it's something that I put off trying for a whole year. Thankfully one day the beautiful, but slave driver friend of mine, Mel just up and said that's enough get on the treadmill and run. She's so mean she made me do 30 mins without stopping, god I love her, she made me see what I can do. Since then she has encouraged me to keep up with the running and increase the length of time I stay running. Currently I'm doing 5kms in 38 mins, and I'm hoping by the end of this year to have that time down to 35 mins.

Oh in other non-creative self butt whooping news, I am now a model, haha, not, no I had my photo taken for an advertisement for my Gym. The ad will be published in the Queensland Muslim Times, and aparently all the branches of the gym nation wide have the right to use the ad :) I'm kinda stoked, kinda hoping to that no one EVER recognises me, I have issues with people looking at me lol, thankfully my sister Trisha has the same issues (always nice to know you're not alone). After the ad is published I'll be nice and share it on here, for the 0 readers who visit this blog to see :D

I'm so bad.

I haven't updated this in like forever.

To tell the truth i'm very scrapped out at the moment. i lost my mojo he returned for like 2 hours then ran off again and hasn't been seen in over 2 weeks. I'm so going to push myself to finish a lo by friday night. <- it's a long weekend so I'll be home all day friday so sad can't do my usual friday lunch out and shopping.

So not much news, only I'm joining a gym insha'Allah tomorrow, I'll see how I like it first, way before signing a thing, cause i don't want to be stuck in a 12 month contract paying so much for a gym I don't want to attend.

So other day to day news in the life of me, i went to the gold coast today, to go shopping!! Always so much fun, first stop was of course harbor town, who can pass up a shopping centre filled with factory outlets, cheap cheap cheap. We bought a new frying pan and saucepan (tefal brand), DH got some new shirts and ties for work, and we got some placemats to give to DH's macik. we also bought some royal albert coasters, pretty darn spiffy :p Then we picked up some oven mits and teatowels. After that we went off to pacific fair, we didn't end up buying anything from there but was fun anyways. We also looked at laptops, DH is toying with the idea of buying me one. we'll see what happens with that, will probably end up being later this year.

Oh and we've decided on this road to fitness that I'm hoping to stick to, to buy a bike!! For now we're just gonna buy 1 bike to share (can tell we don't plan on riding at the same time lol)then if we use it often we'll then invest in a second one. It'll hopefully be good, and will give me a small amount of freedom on the weekends (I'll at the least be able to bike it over to my sisters house and collapse on her couch, or move my butt to the gym if i sign up). So here's hoping we'll use it often cause then i can get my own spiffy bike, since this first bike will be a mans bike.

But the main thought with having a bike is...will it suit me with my hijb on lol. Yeah all for the getting fit and going places and all I can think of is how silly will i look with a helmet over my hijab and my fat butt on a bike?

well thats all my thought for now lol. hopefully i'll be back by thursday with some LO's i've forgotten to add here, and with a whole new LO to show, cross your fingers people that I get creative!!
