A diamond jewellrey package and a wink from Larry

What a WHEELY good time I had tonight!

So, I have fulfilled one of my life long ambitions, to go on Wheel of Fortune! I didn't however make it to the final round (the champ was too good and I spun up a Lose a Turn) but, I solved one puzzle and got a diamond package! Woo hoo. It was really fun, and I'd recommend everyone to have a shot (c'mon it's not brain surgery). Even Darp came along to cheer me one!

And my little girls got to be on TV! Too cute! All the camera men/crew thought tara and Eden were delicious, even Deeks-ie tried to feed Eden her din dins. Ohhh, Bless

Will keep you posted as to when the episode will be on air so you can check out how HOT I look.

My Ultimate fantasy

Now, before your little lascivious minds start thinking that I'm some sort of sexual freak writing about my ultimate fantasy, anyone that knows me knows exactly what my dream is.

To meet PRINCE

I fantasize about what I'd say to him, what I would do, how I would react. I think about it while I'm washing the dishes, shaving my legs and even when I'm eating. I concoct little scenarios in my head, even sometimes act them out out loud in front of the mirror. (No, I'm NOT schizophrenic)

Now, everyone knows, that Prince has offered some lucky buggers a chance to meet him and attend a private concert in his home. I literally swooned when I heard this.

For those who don't know, Prince hid some purple tickets in his new album 3121 (a la Charlie and the chocolate Factory). I didn't get one.

But, last night on Rove live, a competition was announced where you had to say why you are the biggest Prince fan and what you would do to meet him.

Naturally, I entered. And a bloody good entry it was.I have never won anything in my life (except for Bingo on the odd occasion). But I'm a nice eperson, so I'm hoping Karma will smile on me and give this chance of a lifetime,

Oh Prince, I love you so!

Pretty sisters!

Top dollar!!!

Spin the Wheel!

I passed the second audition yesterday and they said I would be put on a 12 month waiting list, so imagine my surprise when I got a call today asking me to be on the show on the 19th of April!
WOO HOO
I knew Wheel of Fortune wouldn't be able to resist my exuberant personality and stunning model looks.

So, I'll be on as a stand-by on the 19th and if I don't get on, I'll definitely be on Friday the 21st.
If anyone wants to watch me win a car call 1800 24 77 77 and reserve your tickets! The seven studio is in Epping so I hope to see you all there!

I'm SOOOOOO excited!

Make sure to make some cardboard signs

Wheel of Fortune here I COME!

Can I have a C for Constable?

Guess what? I passed the audition! YEAH. Now, all i have to do is pass the second trial run (piece of cake) and then I'll be one my way to winning; a holiday, a cutlery set, drum kit, kayak and a CAR.
I really, really, really hope I get on within the next couple of months. I watch the damn show twice a day so I'm pretty good.
I'll be asking for a T for Tara and buying an E for Eden naturally. I just want to win a holiday, I don't care where.
Will you keep you all posted as to when I'll be making my TV debut.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY

Can you believe two years have gone by?

My beautiful Tara is 2 and still amazes me every day.
Her favourite word is NO (isn't every toddlers?) and she loves telling people she's TWO and holds up five fingers.

Every day is an adventure, every day she does or says something that makes me cry with laughter and want to scoop her up and smother her in kisses.

I am truly blessed.

My other gorgeous wonderful daughter is stunning, has four teeth now and commando crawling.

Am I the luckiest woman on earth? I think so

Princess Tara

Yummy cake!

My gorgeous, beautiful niece

If you would like to laugh....

This might be the laziest post I have written, but I'm really busy today, but have been pestered by friends to blog more.
So, I'm going to point you in the direction of some funny things that have happened to me since becoming a mum. They weren't funny at the time, but now I find them quite hilarious

Enjoy

P.S To all you lazy readers, blogging is a two way street. LEAVE SOME COMMENTS

Kiss kiss

Still looking for a part-time job

How's this for a laugh

I applied for a journalist role at the....
wait for it.....
you're gonna piss yourself....

The Australian Jewish News!

I suppose this is my own little social experiment. I bet I get a standard, ''Thanks but not thanks'' rejection. I even stated my expertise in Palestinian - Israeli issues.

On a serious note however, how exciting would it be if I actually got a call back. That Editor would have to have balls. I think his name is Goldberg or Spielberg or, Katz or something like that.
Will let you know how I go. P.S I'm not anti-semitic.

On a completely different topic. The Bali 9. If the Australian government - and specifically John bloody Howard - don't do something (and when I mean something I mean STOP the executions) this travesty of justice, this barbarous event will be one the darkest, bloodiest blotches in Australian history.
John Howard - pull your finger out. Telling ``young Australians'' not to import drugs is NOT enough.

Now on another completely different topic.

The Biggest Loser T.V show.
I have been watching this all week and really have found myself scratching my head - especially tonight as I sat stuffing my face with Dominos Pizza and Coke Zero. It was something my husband said. Did these fatty boombaladas just wake up one morning at 30000 kgs and say, ''ohh I'm fat. How did I get to this size.''
Seriously FOUR words
LESS FOOD MORE EXERCISE

That's my two cents tonight, I hope you enjoyed reading.
And from one cheesy person to another (Go on, you all love Johnny Young)
``Close your eyes and I'll kiss you..
Goodnight Australia.

Okay, so I promised last post I would catch all my readers up to speed - but I lied. Well, I had ever intention, but life has a way of getting the better of you. In a nutshell this is what's been going on the last 2 and a half months:

Three trips to the Emergency Room - Tara falling down the stairs resulting in a pulled elbow. She also gave herself a paper cut to the eye (don't ask) and one trip for me. I broke my pinky toe. Now before you laugh, it freakin hurt like billy-o and it's now a demented shape. My 12th broken bone. You should have seen the radiologist's eyes pop out of his head when he was handed my file. I told him I was accident prone - they think my husband bashes me.

Christmas and New Year - need I say more? Thank God for Ebay where I did all my Christmas Shopping.

A bout of icky toddler diahhreah, one high fever (Eden's first) and a friend's 30th Birthday party. My gorgeous angel Eden is still not crawling, but does this stomach-shimmy and roll to get about. She's so chubby cute, I just want to eat her thighs.

Ohh and let's not forget no sleep. I've had that many hairy nights e.g both Tara and Eden waking at 1am and falling asleep at 5.30am I'm ready to run straight into a brick wall and knock myself out.

I do have one major thing I'm looking forward to.
TARA'S 2ND BIRTHDAY

Can you believe it? I'm super excited as we are taking her and her cousins to an indoor playcentre to just run amock. She can now put five word sentences together (a little genius like her mum) and has been practicing all week how she's going to blow out her candles at her ``PAR-TEEE''


And I'm also super excited about another big event coming up. A really dear, sweet friend of mine who relocated to the States a few years ago is coming home to get married. I CAN'T WAIT to see you Aff-faces (she knows who she is).

Okay, I'll go check the buggers are still in bed and then I'll post again. I have so much I want to write. Eden has rolled off my bed twice in two weeks. Lucky she's chubby. She just bounced back up.

Some recent pics

Beautiful Tara


Stunning Smiley Eden


Me and my hubby on New Year's Eve


Just wanted to share some recent pics of the last couple of months

Hamas won the election?

OK, I'm back

Full rewind later.

But, I really don't have time to blog right now, but I just couldn't help jotting down a few words on the Palestinian elections.

HAMAS won?

Surprised? No, not really. Well a little. I need to contemplate this major change before I can write anything that makes sense.

I suppose people have been growing more and more disenfranchised with FATAH.

Anyway have to run, I promise to update. In the meantime, please feel free to leave a comment.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I know this is a few days early, but I just couldn't resist!
Aren't my little reindeers gorgeous?

I love being a mum

Wiggly Wiggles

Imagine this,

Tara, Eden, myself, my sister, her three boys (all under the age of seven) and about 10,000 other screaming kids at the Entertainment Centre - and NO pram.

So, we took the kids to the Wiggles Concert as an early Christmas present on Monday, and I can honestly say, NEVER AGAIN! Not that it wasn't a good show (except for Greg Wiggle, that's the yellow one, having just had a hernia operation and couldn't wiggle much at all) but I was SO damned exhausted by it all it took me three days to get over my migraine. Thank God my sis left her baby at home or we both would've had to grow another set of arms each to hold our kids sticky little hands.

And, to top it all off, you'd think Tara would LOVE the show. She watches the four dancing dudes every morning, but alas, as soon as the lights dimmed, Tara completely FREAKED out, covered her ears, crawled into my sister's lap and.. wait for it....

FELL ASLEEP!!!

Yes, you read it right. My little ball of energy, my fast re-charge battery Tara who has NEVER slept for more than 30mins during the day and a max of four hours at night (I'm baffled as to how she does it. This morning she woke at 5.30am and is STILL not sleeping) fell asleep during the super-noisy performance.

I was completely dumb founded! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my two eyes. She preferred to sleep than watch the prancing and the dancing and the RIP OFF MERCHANTS! Which leads me to my second biggest gripe of the day. The merchandise was so bloody expensive. Would you believe that a single helium balloon was $10! Yes TEN DOLLARS for a stupid balloon that would either fly away once we left the show or deflate within a day of getting home. What amazed me even more were the stupid parents who bought them for their whiney kids. No joke, almost two-thirds of the kids had a balloon - and a t-shirt, flashing cup, Dorothy dinosaur tails, captain feathersword wands (and the list goes on).

Anyway,
On a COMPLETELY different track, my beautiful Eden angel said her first word! She's been babbling for a couple of days now, but she actually said DA DA (which was also Tara's first word). As usual, the mum is always second best in the eyes of little girls.

Rally anyone?

For all those who want to be a part of something positive in light of the recent riots, a rally has been organised for this Sunday, December 18. Below are the details.

Hope to see you there!

I'll be the one pushing the double pram, waving Aussie, Croatian and Palestinian flags while bribing Tara with chocolate so she'll stay put.

The Unite Against Racism Rally

WHEN: Sunday 18th December 2005

TIME: 1pm

WHERE: Town Hall Square


The rally will make it's way to Belmore Park where there will be a number of speakers, celebrities and sports people from varied cultural and religious groups.
