Some Lists

Penny's celebrating her 2nd 'blogaversary' with a giveaway or 2! :-) And the deal is you need to complete some lists ... you only had to do one, but the list of lists made me chuckle, so I decided to do all of them:

Splendid Things ~
  • Rainbows
  • Hugs & sticky kisses from the kids
  • Hugs & stuff from Lyndon ;-)
  • Hearing Lyndon's keys opening the door, especially when he's been away for a few days
  • Aaron telling Maddison to come and play
  • Chocolate, most particularly the dark peppermint kind
  • Ice cream
  • Autumn colours (haven't seen that here and doubt I will!)
  • But ... plus side is the hibiscus have been flowering ever since we arrived ... interesting to see if they do all year round
  • Getting more than 4 hours sleep at one time during the night
  • Getting a Skype phone :-)
Things that make one's heart beat faster ~
  • Lyndon
  • Aaron telling Maddison it's "awright" (makes me very suspicious!!)
  • Aaron standing on window sill leaning out window of our apartment (we are half way up a 32 storey building!)
  • Feeling your baby move for the first time when you're pregnant (no I'm not today, but thanks for asking!)
  • Hearing the words "it's a boy" or "it's a girl" - or in the case of Aaron "look at his RED hair"
  • Lyndon telling me we are moving to Malaysia when I'm 8 months pregnant!
  • Spending more than I should on scrapping stuff (hee hee)
  • Making the finalists for the Scrap-n-Crop Contest
  • Getting a RM1,000 plus phone bill (*gulp* ... yay for Skype, now that doesn't happen!)
  • Mice

Things that should be large ~

  • Hugs from the kids (and hubby)
  • Holidays
  • & Paychecks so the Holidays can happen!
  • Frosted Lemon Teas from Secret Recipe!
  • Airplane seats
  • Mice (if they were bigger my phobia wouldn't seem so bad - would it?)
Awkward things ~
  • Getting 'dinner' and 'tea' mixed up for an invitation to a friends house ... here dinner is the evening meal! Not lunch time!!! :-}
  • Aaron staring at someone who doesn't need staring at!
  • Really wanting to go to the toilet when someone is in the middle of telling you a LONG story
  • Manoeuvring pram around streets in Malaysia (so not pram or wheelchair friendly)
Okay think that's about it ... for now!

Oh - these are great! :) Can relate to quite a lot of these.

Aaron at the window would turn your hair grey I reckon.

Loving the lists ... big pay checks and holidays ... sounds good to me.

Heart beating faster with a child hanging out a window ... ummmmmmmmmmmm ... yep ...can understand that why it would do that!
