The Joy Of Power Tools

OK, i have regained my waffly way today....i felt quite out of sorts yesterday having nothing to drone on about!

I discovered the unbridled pleasure of power tools yesterday - it has changed my life. I had lots of pictures that needed hanging , and a few coat hooks that needed drilling, so i put them to one side with the intention of asking adrian to do them when he got home. Then i had the revelation that perhaps i could actually do it myself, so i went out and i got the electric screwdriver and some screws ( well actually that's a lie - i got nails which obviously don't work with a screwdriver- doh!) and set about drilling lots of holes in our house - it was such a thrill and i felt like the Ultimate Domestic Goddess.

I also untangled what felt like several thousand metres of christmas decorations which was somewhat less of an adrenaline rush but useful nonetheless. Which leads me nicely on to the fact that we (although probably just me as adrian won't stress about things like this) are having adrian's entire family here in our sludge green house for Christmas dinner. *gulp* That's 13 people on the first Christmas i have ever catered. *GULP*

I had a committee meeting last night, and that little voice that seems to live in me that volunteers for stupid stuff was out in force. I not only volunteered to clean all the drains again (whyyyyyyyy???) but, and this is the most stupid of all, i also volunteered to bake 70 (yes, 70!!!!!) muffins for a pyjama party we're having at kindy tomorrow night. Doh! So I have all the ingredients to make Raspberry and white chocolate muffins, Orange choc chip muffins and some other type of chocolatey muffin. As if i don't have enough to do with sorting the house out, trying to organise something for adrian's birthday tomorrow and cooking dinner for friends on saturday night AND doing my aromatherapy course all day saturday and sunday - i really am spectacularly stupid.

Oh, our angelfish finally died, the poor thing. It had a huge lump on it's side and we were watching it yesterday and it just lay down on the bottom of the tank and died, it was very sad :( We've had a lot of talk about going to heaven today and we've ascertained that the angelfish is sitting on a cloud now and God is looking after it - Jenna's been scanning the sky ever since!!!

Well i'm off to make a banana cake for adrian now - just the one mind :) xxx RIP Angelfish xxx
