IPadding it

Have had some issues the last two weeks with blogging:
1) not having enough time to actually do it and
2) not being able to publish the posts wrote(moreso on my food blog)

I thought having the new iPad might make it easier to get to blog, but it really hasn't made much difference.... Just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day lately ( despite being woken up before 6am most days!!) but I think I am kinda getting a feel for the iPad so hopefully some of the thoughts in my head will get blogged about sometime :)

101 things in 1001 days update

Items crossed off the list in the last few months:

27 . Get back to pre-pregnancy weight
28 . Be able to fit into my Helly Hansen bamboo pants again
31 . Get a professional pedicure at least once.
(again! actually 2times while back in Aus. I love the spa pedis there...)

72 . Organise the playroom so it's easy to clean and keep (relatively!) tidy.
I think I can say that the new organiser/cupboards I have in there are doing the job just fine!

90. Go to the hairdressers at least once a year
Also got a fab style cut (longish bob) while in Aus (colour honey brown with blond highlights) on a "grabone" deal. It looked great when they blowdried it in the salon....looks kinda ok still now, but no way I can re-create that salon look, since my hair flicks OUT rather than under :(

---

And I am working on these at the moment:
29 . Follow a daily face firming ritual every day for 2 months in succession (0/2)
Started this while in Aus and intend to keep it up. So far 3weeks :)
My "ritual" involves use of lotion, emulsion and cream with nanocube samples that J got :)

54. Read 5 novels in English (3/5)

---

Still, it seems like I have a LOT of stuff left to do on this list!!! Perhaps now L is a bit older, and not stuck to the boob 24/7 I will get a bit of a chance to get out and do some exercise? And since K has started pre-school/kindy 2 days a week I might get some time to get the sewing machine out? Well, that is kinda the plan.....

getting back into it...

the Helly Hanson Bamboo Pants that is!!! ( #27 on my 1001 things in 101 days!)

So obviously this blog was abandoned, along with my life in Japan 2 months ago amidst a partial-meltdown (my own and apparently one in Fukushima Daiichi too) that led me to Aus for a break. Well, we got back to Japan earlier this week, and am now trying to re-adjust to life. I lost any desire to blog whilst in Aus, as I often do, as there is so much else to take up my time, and getting on the computer at my folks place can be difficult....

But now I am back, I feel myself starting to think "ooh, I wanna blog about that" a couple of times a day. I guess I will get around to blogging some of that stuff, but for now, the only really important thing I have to blog about is the miraculous re-appearance of my Helly Hanson Bamboo pants. It has been over two years since I wore (fit into) them last, and even then they were verging on camel-toeing :(

But I pulled them out a couple of days ago in my "spring cleaning" effort in my wardrobe, and was pleasantly surprised to see they fit! My other favourites, the red "mamut" 3/4 length pants are also now back in the drawer of clothes to be worn, so I am looking forward to summer now and getting re-acquainted with many old clothing favourites ;)

As for blogging, I have managed to cross a few things off my 1001 things in 101 days list, so will have to update that very soon.
