LOL Isn't My Hubby TWEET!!!!

Well I couldn't take my Beautiful Flowers to tassie with me but I kept the bow and took this picture of them in the motel room, absolutely gorgeous, and the reception staff were quite pleased to have them when I left!!

Michael may not have even seen these flowers so at least now He has!! Thank you so much My Darling, what a romantic you can be sometimes LOL!!! Moi!! to you Sweetness!!

I am into the third week here in Hobart and this time next Saturdayt I will be headed to the airport, I am looking forward to coming home!! I should have known that three weeks was going to be too long, I always do this and end up with my heart aching and missing Michael too much!!! Maybe I should do more visits but shorter ones!!

Well I haven't smoked in over 2 weeks now and I haven't had a patch on for over a week so I am really pleased with myself, I am going to smell it all through my clothes etc, so I will probably be cleaning like mad when I get home LOL. But it will also be wierd getting off the plane and not craving a smoke!!!

Well here are a few more pics from Melbourne and here.

Me and Jo at Fifteen Melbourne, the Jamie Oliver Show's Restaurant, fabulous food!!

Faith and Rachael at Fifteen, we all had a fabulous time and I had a great birthday as this lunch was a birthday treat for me!! Thanks Girls!!

Two Chefs at Fifteen, Dan and Toby, Remember Toby from the TV Series in the UK and here!!!

This was delicious It had pasta with ricotta, mushrooms and spinach and over it was drizzled sage butter, yummy!!!
Believe it or not I actually lost weight in Melbourne after eating this stuff LOL. I think I walked off everything that went into my mouth.

As of last monday I was at a loss of 8kg total, which is unbelievable for me, but I have walked pretty much every day and I have been sticking to my points. I think this monday I will not have had such a big loss.

This is the oldest bridge in Australia at Richmond just outside Hobart, it was built by convicts. In 1812 I think!!

Okay so I haven't really taken all that many pics while in Hobart, but I haven't been out much, we are off on a day trip tomorrow so I'll take the camera and get some pics then!!!

Hope you are all having a great time and that Doreen and Terrell have a nice visit with each other.

OOOH nearly forgot to mention, I finally have been given a date for my swearing in as an Aussie Citizen, LOL only took me 35 years LOL. So on 2nd October I will be a legal Citizen and can vote and can get a passport Yay!!! Very Exciting, and Michael will be there to cheer me on and take the required pictures of the event!!!

Okay have a great day everybody and especially my Darling Hubby , not long now till I am returned to your loving arms, I miss you so much Sweetness!!!!

Okay enough with the soppy stuff!!

Hugs

She's Not here!!!!!!!!

Hello world, Taz the Ambo here, that's right as Ambo Wife said she has gone away on holiday.
So what's been happening, well her birthday was while she was away and the birthday present was me paying for her holiday??????? so I sent a very nice bunch of flowers to the motel she was staying at.

Now I think I hear you girls in the US giving a collective sigh and well you should, I'm an Aussie male and we don't normally bother with that stuff, but this girl has had the hots for me for nearly twenty(20) years and while I am absorbed with my job and education and stuff I need to do everything I can to let her know that I do care for and love her.

She is my pillar of strength, and boy have I needed one.Two days before she left I started with a day one probationer(from our ambulance school) on the second shift we had a paediatric fitting patient. Now I have NO children that I know of so Paeds scare me. This kid has a history of fitting from epilepsy and when he started to fit again on me I used the quickest route for the medicine I had but I read my drug chart wrong and gave him the 1st & 2nd dose together by a route I'm not allowed to use. I stopped the fitting and stopped his brain being fried, but I went outside of protocol, BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy knew of this before she left, but I have had the medicine withdrawn from my pharmacologies.
I've had a meeting with a clinical training officer and apart from the cock up with the drug calcs he believes I was right, what I did stoped the kids brain from being fried.

Apart from that I have set up my new DELL computer, and produced 8 of my Patient Question Booklets. I think that I will seen the local printer and see if there is a better way to produce these.

So, apart from feeling horny, things are pretty much normal at the RUNDLES.


So Taz the Ambo wishes you all well and goodnight.

 
Here is the first of a series of LO's about my Weight
Loss, let's hope that bigger "to Lose" Number will go
right down to 0 I did this with TerrellS In the Dirt Kit.
 

 
Okay before I go on any further with Layouts, just wanted
to let you know that I am going to be away for 3 weeks. I
am taking the laptop with me but I may have more than
the usual Layouts, I got a new 8.5 Megapixel camera and
so I will be snapping away like crazy while I am in Melbourne
and in Hobart LOL. I can't wait to see everybody, but
mostly Christopher and Mum.  I am spending 3 nights in
Melbourne with Jo, Rachael and Faith for a girly weekend
but in the middle of the week. LOL. I will be having my
37th Birthday while I am in Melbourne too so we are
going to "fifteen" you know, the Jamie Oliver Restaurant
to help out street kids training to be chefs, can't wait!!
 
Okay well on with the Layouts...
 
Okay did this one for fun, gotta love Brad!!! I used TerrellS
New Grunge Textures to do the background paper.
 

Here's one of my and my Baby Boy, who is nearly ready
to take his Driver's Licence P Plate Test. Chris is 20 on
15th February, but he's still my little boy.  Used Memories
of a Garden Ribbons from TerrellS ( I recoloured them
to suit the colour scheme) and the textures were used
again in the background.
 

 
Okay got a cool pic of my wedding band and Engagement
ring so thought I'd do another layout with them.  This
kit is Roses for Mom by TerrellS

 
And this one is using TerrellS Mootwo Chat freebies. I
did this Layout for my Mum to let her know how much I
love and admire her!! Love you mum so much!!!

3.6 KG Lost!!! Woohoo!!

Yes what a start to my Weight Loss Journey, I've dropped 3.6 kg, that's nearly 8 pounds for eveyone in the imperial world!!! I am amazed as It was not that hard. just have to keep it up I guess!! So we have our first visit with our new IVF doctor today and I will feel better being able to tell her I lost some weight this week!! Cause I just know the first thing out of her mouth will be "Tracy you need to lose a lot of weight!" as in their booklet it says you can't start if you are over 20% overweight! Sigh!!! Oh well I've made a start anyhow, just have to keep making good healthy choices, right!!?
Okay off to do some housework argh!!!
I got all my QP 4 X 6's done for TerrellS so that's good, one thing achieved yesterday anyway!!
Have a great Day eveyone!!

Hugs
Tracy

Okay So I've been Lazy!!!

You know how it is, I have had an inspiration drought
these last few days and Michael has been off and home
so I tend to feel a little guilty if I spend every minute
on the computer when he's home LOL. Mind you a lot of
the time he is studying too, so there ya go!!! Even!!

Well If you want a freebie run over to TerrellS blog and
grab a QP or two, she has posted 8 so far so better be
quick LOL.

Alright well I am going okay with the Weight Watchers so
far, actually I am finding it quite easy but then I haven't
had to go out to eat or supress my Chocoholic fantasies of
late LOL. So the big test will probably come when I am in
Melbourne, I know that I will not have to worry when i am
at my Mum's as she is always eating healthy so it should be
smooth sailing there and she walks almost every day too, so
I will actually have company LOL. No, Michael doesn't come
along with me on my walks LOL. I was a bit peeved today as
I got a little not from the PO letting me know we had a package
there and so I decided I would walk so I did. It's the right
distance for my walk so that will be my walk out of the way for
the day LOL. Little did I know until I got there that they are the
only PO in the whole of Sydney that isn't open on Saturday
morning. GRRR. Anyway so I didn't have to worry about the walk
being broken. LOL.
So that's that, I am hoping for a great loss on Monday when I
weigh Myself. I have a good feeling LOL.
And I don't know if it is just in my mind but I feel like I've lost
weight LOL.

Onto Scrapbooking LOL.
Here is the first one.

Demiurgia's Frangipani kit for these.

Guess What!!!
 
I made the big decision and took the plunge.
 
I AM NOW A WEIGHT WATCHER LOL!!
 

I started yesterday so now I am having to log my intake and exercise,

yeah I am exercising LOL.  I know that I have to lose a heap of weight

for the IVF to work so I am doing WW online.

We'll see how I go LOL. I did it years ago and lost about 12 kgs. But

this time I have a lot more than that to lose. Wish me luck LOL.

 

Okay here are the LO's for today. This one is of my Mum and her

sister Sadie doing the Giant's Causeway walk.
