I don’t want to say goodbye
But tonight we will stroke your fur and kiss your head one last time.
Words can’t express how much we will miss you sweet boy, we all love you so muchxx
Happy Birthday Daddy
May 2nd is my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 54 today.
This is the anchor tattoo I got 3 weeks ago, with the cupcakes. My sister and I got matching tattoos, in memory of Dad. She got hers on her wrist, mine is on my back. It is not finished, I am planning on getting some swallows and stuff to finish it off soon.
He was in the navy for most of our time together, and it was a huge part of my life. It was his everything, he left the navy after 20yrs of service..and not long after left us too. A bit like it was the beginning of the end, all those years ago. His life was never the same.
We have yet to lay him to rest, well at lest I don’t think so. When I got in contact with his sister, she was all for getting in touch and catching up and seemed genuinely happy. Then thing went a little cold.
She said for Stacey and I to decide what we wanted to do with his ashes. I had decided, scattering them from Garden Island. She said she would speak to their parents who would be in Sydney at the end of April and get back to me, haven’t heard from her since. I know I should probably ring, but the vibes I got from the last call were not so welcoming.
It’s all still so up in the air and unfinished, sometimes it is hard to remember that it really has happened. I still look at men that look similar to him when I am out, as I always have..hoping that one day I might just run into him shopping.
It would have been nice to have him layed to rest and finally at peace for his birthday. Hope is having a great day anyway!
Back to the gym
First visit to the gym today in 3 weeks. Due to the school holidays, and tattoo..I haven’t been able to go and really missed it. 3 weeks off, and about 100 cupcakes later ( I didn’t eat ALL of them tho) I was pleased that I had still lost weight in my time off.
Been a little protective of the cuppies, was a little obsessed with them healing. Lots of love and cream, and they haven’t seen the inside of a shoe in 3 weeks. Forget all about the other one I got with my sister the day after the cupcakes (still trying to get a pic of it, the man pet can’t drive the camera..and it’s hard to take a pic of your back)
Today was the opening of the brand spanking $5.5million renovations at the RSL Gym that I am a member. I have been looking forward to all the spiffy new toys to play with for months, couldn’t wait to get there this morning.
I knew it was going to be fab, but I was just blow away by how cool it is. Compared the the poxiness of before. They are saying it is the biggest gym in Western Sydney.
Lots of great new staff and services. Going to try a spin class tomorrow, they never offered those before. Afterwards, I am looking forward to trying out the spa and sauna. They had these before, but they were a bit blah..and were usually full of older men. They now how beautiful new change rooms, and in there is a spa and sauna.
Finally after months of nagging, managed to get the man pet to sign up..looking forward to dragging him along.
Cupcakes for dinner
Domestic Goddess I am not! I really am a terrible cook, most things are made with the help of a box, jar or packet.
Thinking of cupcakes, as you do. I thought Hmm, I wonder if I could make them with meat!
So I kept everyone in suspense, and set about to make my wonderful dinner. The man pet was scared, my funky experiments often don’t end well.
They were super easy to make, just use your usual rissole mix with mince and what ever else you like to add. I got some silicon cups for a bargain today so used some of those as well as some foil ( I think these are probably best)
He was a little shocked to find these cupcakes dished up on his plate with his mash and veggies. He thought I had finally lost it.
Everyone loved them, and there was none left. Hope they don’t expect them again..the novelty has worn off *hehe*
Cupcakes coming out the wazoo
Cupcakes, how I <3 thee. And it’s not so much that I like eating them..which of course I do. But not very often. I don’t know what it is that makes the shape itself so appealing…it just is!
I was up till 11 last night baking 40 something cupcakes for Hayden to take to school for his Birthday. He is 9 today btw..I still am having trouble getting my head around that…n.i.n.e. My baby boy will be 10 next year, which will make me, well lets just say another scary milestone that starts with 3 o.O
Anyway, the cupcakes. I am shitty that in all the rush this morning I forgot to take a picture
But I do have a few of the cupcakes I made for Katelyn’s Birthday 2 weeks ago. I usually make baby cupcakes. But he insisted that his friends would be VERY hungry, so he had to have big ones. He wanted some blue, some green and then some pink ones for the girls, and also a mix of chocolate and vanilla..*roll* Anything else with that order Sir?
I didn’t even manage to save one for myself!
I had an appointment this morning to “pick up” some other cupcakes that I ordered last week. 6 days I managed to keep that hush hush, and no hinting either. It is some sort of record for me. I was having trouble just a few hours in *hehe*
Had this new tattoo done this morning on my foot. Did it hurt..umm YEAH! But it was really worth it, and only took about 40mins to do.
I have been wanting something for my family for awhile, and I am not really keen on names and stuff. So hey, why not cupcakes?! There are 4 little cupcakes to represent my wittle family. The big one is Jake (he doesn’t REALLY spill over his pants that much :P) The little pink one is Katelyn, one with the cherry is Hayden and the one with the jellybean is Emily.
I had it on my foot, so I can look at it all the time (but cover it easily too) It’s a reminder that while life might not always be what we want or expect..and sometimes it can be just down right shitty. But no matter what life throws at me, I always have my super special family that I love lots and lots and lots, as long as I have them..who gives a shit about everything else? right? (and see, with no names. If I ever need to trade Jakey in on a new model..no one will know LMAO!)
I <3 my new cupcakes!
