Regret – The Pastors Version

We have been doing pre-marriage counseling with our Pastor. It’s been a great experience for us, and something I would highly recommend if you are getting married. It’s the whole ‘no suprises’ theme, making sure you know your partner well.

He had some words of wisdom, and one I want to share with you, as it really hit home.

He said ‘In all my years of counseling, in the rest homes, hospitals, hospices etc, I never hear the words “I regret what I did”, I always hear “I regret what I didn’t do”.

Review: Bombay Beauty Parlour

Found at 57 Queens Road , Panmure , Auckland. Ph 527 3920

Having been to this place a few times now, I’m doing a review on it.

It is run by 2 ladies, who are always friendly and polite. When you ring them, they will chat with you about what you want done, and then book a time with you. They have good hours, and can fit you in late nights and so on.

The place is always clean, and always a professional service. They do a good job. I’ve had eyelash tinting, eyebrow threading, whole face threading and half leg waxing. All was a good experience (as far as ripping hair out by the roots goes).

The very quick generic mp3 shuffle game!

Here’s what to do:

Stick your mp3 player on shuffle and then list the first 5 songs it plays. NO CHEATING! Then tag some people to do the same – any number you like.

Here are my little beauties…

  1. Summerboy by Lady Gaga
  2. Good Luck Charm by Elvis Presley
  3. When You’re Stone by Kevin ‘Bloody’ Wilson
  4. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
  5. Give Up The Funk by Glee

I’m not going to tag anyone this time, but please feel free to join in :)

Saw this idea on this blog.

A Phone Call From Bitchy Smurf

And the continued saga of the Smurfs.

This morning Tween Smurf got a phone call from Bitchy Smurf.

She spent a long time bitching about Father Smurf and Mother Smurf. She told Tween Smurf that “she didn’t want to play the mind games that Father Smurf and Mother Smurf play’.

Bitchy Smurf often pays for the school stationery, as their birth-smurf, Selfish Smurf, doesn’t pay for anything. As such, not wanting to double up, Father Smurf had emailed Bitchy Smurf asking if she would be getting the stationery this year. Bitchy Smurf said to Tween Smurf on the phone ‘that it was rude that they could afford an iPad and then ask her for money.’ Poor Tween Smurf knows this isn’t how it is, yet has to listen to Bitchy Smurf say things like this.

Then, in response to last week, she told Tween Smurf she expects them to be sitting outside waiting when she picks them up. Silly Bitchy Smurf. Father and Mother Smurf are not the sort of parents who would leave their Smurfs waiting outside.

She then asks Tween Smurf to ask if she can pick the Smurfs up early on the coming custody period. They are of course in the care of Mother Smurf. Seriously. After complaining to Tween Smurf and making her feel horrible. After coming over and attacking Mother Smurf last time.

Tween Smurf feels torn between her families, due to Bitchy Smurf attempting to relay messages and so forth through her.

Poor Tween Smurf. Lots of extra cuddles needed today for her.

Flush the damn toilet!

What the hell is it with kids and not flushing toilets?

It feels like every time I go to the toilet, there is wads of toilet paper in there, far more then is needed for anyone’s bum, and other unmentionables.

I have nagged.
I have pleaded.
I have shown.
I have threatened.

And still I flush.

Sigh.

Reading other people’s signs

I read a blog post today We Must See Past What it Seems…..It almost had me in tears. I lie, I had tears streaming down my face.

It talks about looking past what you see, behind the masks, reading the signs of what the person is actually telling us.

If the phone isn’t being answered, if they suddenly stop chatting to you the way they used too, it’s all signs, and you have to work out what the sign says.

Sometimes I wish I had a sign. Only, I’m not sure what my sign would say…

“I’m a step-mother, who is seen as a step-monster, but I’m only doing my best.”

“I have a past, but I’m doing my best to fix my future. Be gentle with me.”

“I just want to be loved.”

I’ve just updated my social media Icons, and have to tell you about them! I found them here.

What’s really neat about them is that they are vector, so can be resized to any size that you want them to be! They also have a huge range of them, and you can request more, if they don’t happen to have the ones you want! Yay!
