It is great to have you back :D

Supporting each other is what we are all about.

If any of you didn't know, I am a student midwife and I have one more birth to attend before the end of the year. I am loving my new house and my career choice. Little Fella is recovering well and we are one happy family.

Little Fella had his operation today. It went well and he was wonderful. He is resting at the moment.

I just had to add a photo of Little Fella from his show at school today :D

Isn't he cute?

I found this wonderful page on Journal Keeping. The author has a fantastic site and writes beautifully. If only I was as eloquent, but what the heck! :-D

I'm so excited! I have been promoted. I am now a Ruby for the Net Sisters Social Charms Society. You might say "who cares..." but I am thrilled :D Kat will be interested in this because she was the groundbreaker before me. So I've got big boots to fill and a great team to work with.

It seems as though getting our house sorted will take forever. We have completely cleared out of our old place and the landlords are returning the full bond. Now we just need to pay an extra $480 to make up the full bond for our new place. And it's only 5 weeks until Christmas!!!!!

I've been off for a week and have to clear my email and this is the message I get: Visto Corporation All Visto Servers Busy. What have they been doing at Visto? I really want to clear my Net Sisters email.

The new place is getting sorted. The phone is obviously on now...hooray!

Drin just pointed out that as we will have no phone at our new place until Thursday, that will also mean no internet. Now, I'm not a dumb person, but I never considered that I would be internet-deprived. I will enjoy the time to get us settled in our new house and work on my web pages offline, and scan bucketloads of photos and copy them onto CD.

We are all technology geek pretenders in my family. This is the site my brother has started: "SIMPLY TO SIMPLIFY". He said he is looking forward to getting his own computer.

Now to add some more midwifery journal entries to my site.

We had a lovely day with a visit from Leigh and Eileen. It was fantastic seeing them and the kids. Drin even managed to make it home for a little while to see them.

Fascinating with this midwifery lifestyle that I seem to be managing (except the housework) and Drin is all into work and stress. He is the one who has to find balance, and I need to be aware of supporting him as well.

Last fave rave for today: Visto.com, where I get my 15 MB email storage, and no usage minimum to keep the account open.

Did you know that I am a new editor for Open Directory - Health: Professions: Midwifery and Open Directory - Regional: Oceania: New Zealand: Health: Nursing: Midwifery? Do you have any links you want to suggest? I'd love to see them.

Sharing some of my faves. Yahoo may be taking over the internet, but one feature I adore is Yahoo! Companion with the ability to use my bookmarks on any computer.

We have somewhere to live. Hooray!!! The first place we looked at we adored. Lots of space, not too flash, and not too expensive.

Wasn't sure whether the landlords would be okay with our dog as part of the bargain. They proposed that if we chose to keep him with us instead of finding him another home that we would be able to as long as we paid another weeks rent as bond money. Expensive, but worth every cent to keep our family together.

I helped my sister set up her very own blog which she has called a day in the life of......me! Well done Ky :-D

My blogging inspirations should get some credit here. I will also set up a Reads page.

The first Blog I ever laid my eyes on was Kat's. And Kat is as local as net denizen's get. She's a Kiwi girl :)

And in my travels I came across which sounded completely logical to me.

And the first/last step to blog addiction came from Me at Midnight. It is both beautiful and truthful.

Thank you for setting me on my way. Any critics have these wonderful people and sites to blame.

Visited Access Brokerage to see how our shares are doing.

This is the bulletin about Restaurant Brands: "AMP Custodial Investments No.1 (CI) proposes to acquire up to 4,649,999ordinary shares (Target shares) of Restaurant Brands New Zealand (RBNZ). Theproposed acquisition of the Target Shares will result in CI controlling morethan 20% of the ordinary shares in RBNZ. The price to be paid for the Targetshares will be between $1.10 and $1.25 per share."

We might be able to get back what we paid for them...
