My Easter in Pictures

I had the most sublime Easter. When I think of it, a smile just spreads across my face. It was relaxing, fun, carefree and I let my hair down (seriously I haven't done that in a the longest time). 

It was spent with family relaxing, spending time in Bendigo and at my my mum and dads place. Even though  their property was ravaged by fires only a few years ago, you really wouldn't know. Their  gardens are heavenly and a beautiful environment to really soothe and unwind, to shake that city air off. 

I also got to see one of my music icons Bruce Springsteen at Hanging Rock - no words can describe the fun I had there. I could barely walk the next day, my voice was husky and my head was a little sore, but it was sooo worth it! 

Oh and I didn't even touch chocolate, not even the teeniest bit. Amazing changes are happening around here and I am just going with them. Maybe my Easter was so good because there was no chocolate. No sugar headaches or afternoon crashes, just smooth sailing. I won't put it down to less chocolate (sugar) just yet, but whatever it did to me I want more. 

Here are just a few photos I captured of our time away. 

Hope you all had a lovely Easter too 

Until next time

Oh what a weekend....

Easter has come and gone in a blur... there was lots of fun and frivolity had.... oh and of course enough chocolate consumed for the whole rest of the year!!! 


This year the Easter bunny impressed my little Batman.... he was in awe of the how the bunny rabbit knew to bring Batman jocks.. that rabbit is clever! 


Here are some pics of the weekend...

Grateful for no Dentist visits this Easter!

Well Good Friday has come around for 2012.. (how is it that the year is going so damn fast!)....Easter has always been  my favourite time of the year... It is is always so happy and relaxed.. I have always preferred it over the frenetic chaos that is  Xmas!

Although I don't remember last Easter that fondly.. to be honest it went to the dog house! Some moments were joyful....but the pain, oh the pain. I am glad that this year I will be pain free and also remain out of the dentists operating chair!!  (Well I might head there after I have consumed copious amounts of chocolate eggs..)

I spent last Good Friday evening and into the early hours of the morning in the Bendigo Hospital Emergency room! I waited 5 hours to be see a doctor, while I writhed and groaned in pain watching terrible infomercials begging to be seen by someone, anyone!

I had very stupidly ignored a tooth ache for some time... and I paid the ultimate price!

So on Easter Saturday I had to seek out a dentist in a country town, it was no easy feat! Basically I was told by more than one medical professional that my Easter was over!

I decided that wasn't going to be the case... so I went on my own Easter hunt and tracked down the only dentist on call all weekend! I took a punt on him, he was abrupt and a bit of a smart arse... he said meet me at "this address at 12.00pm and I will fix you up!" .. Yes I was putting alot of faith in someone I didn't know and who was going to be poking around in my mouth with sharp instruments!

He was an eccentric and maybe a tad crazy, but he was willing to pull out my tooth, and I couldn't have been happier! The pain relief was instant!

So I spent the rest of Easter recovering from a tooth extraction.. I managed to eat a couple of eggs but it wasn't the same with the gauze in the other side of my mouth!

This year I am happy my teeth are all fine (touch wood!) and I will not be putting on a repeat performance!

I am so grateful for this little break away from my usual day to day grind..which has been wearing me down of later.

I am grateful that I will be able to stuff my face with as many eggs as I can handle with no consequences! (well until I see my dentist next!)

I'm grateful that I can spend this favorite holiday of mine with those that I love, and most importantly my little Darby, who brings sunshine to my every day.. he has got my back... he is my carer, and he looks after me more than I probably look after him.. he soothes my soul and makes my heart pound with happiness...I'm forever in his gratitude...

Happy Easter...if you get a toothache from all the eggs... I can recommend a good dentist : )

Until next time.... Life is to short for crappy coffee...

Wordless Wednesday - Happy Easter

The Easter bunny will be here on Sunday ... and he cant come soon enough... give me those eggs and get out of here! Well, maybe I am more happy that the chocolate that adorns every shop will be gone until at least err umm December and the temptation can go away for another 6 months or so! 

Most of all I am looking forward to a break away with Darby and my family... 
Here are a couple of Easter pics of years gone by (the rabbit ears seem to be very popular!!) ....
