A little bit of fun......

I'm feeling like a real blogger today!

One of my favourite blogs is written by Robyn at slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com.au and she has tagged me to answer some questions after she herself answered some questions from her own blog friends!

The rules:
* Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
* Answer the questions the person who tagged you created, then make 11 questions of your own for the people you tag.
* Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
* Go to their page and tell them.
* No tag backs.

SO....because I'm really excited to be included, I'm going to join in......here are Robyn's 11 random questions....and my answers.

1.  Your house burns down in the middle of the night. Who is the first person you call? 000, of course.....then my husband if he's on night shift! Otherwise, probably my mum.

2. If you could have anything to eat or drink right now, what would it be?
Rib fillet steak, chips, salad and a very large hot chocolate!

3. How do you kill a spider?
I try not to kill them (they catch annoying bugs), but if I have to, I use a shoe....

4. Would you rather be blind or deaf?
They asked us this when we did Spec Ed at uni.....our society is so language-based that as scary as it would be, I'd choose to be blind. Although some days, being deaf sounds pretty blissful!

5.  What would you do with a million dollars?
Spend half of it on our mortgage, a car and a caravan, then give the rest away.

6. How do you take your coffee?
De-caf, half-strength long black. No joke. It's the most embarrassing coffee order ever!

7. If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?
Pride & Prejudice....the BBC version.

8. How did you meet your significant other?At uni. He was studying IT and accountancy.....and now he's a paramedic. Go figure.

9. What time did you go to bed last night?
9:15pm - there are advantages to having a husband who needs to study into the evenings - he can bounce the baby (in her hammock) at the same time!

10. Ginger, yes or no?
YES!! Excellent when you've got a cold or an upset tummy.

11. What is your favourite time of the day?
Early afternoon, just about rest time.....and mid-evening, just before my bed time.....there's a theme there!!

Soooo...my questions for my followers are:

1. Unusual fact about you
2. Your first school?
3. Your middle name?
4. Do you prefer tea or coffee?
5. What's your favourite dessert?
6. What car do you drive?
7. What is your dream holiday destination?
8. Winter or summer? Why?
9. Your favourite movie?
10. Three words that describe you.....
11. Most embarrassing moment?

    thanks for sharing Julz...and because I'm awake and alert ridiculously early, I'll answer your Q's:
    1. I dislike toilet doors closed after a few encounters with toilet doors jamming closed when I was a young-un.
    2. Jimboomba Preschool - where we met!
    3. Maria
    4. tea in the mornings, coffee when I'm out.
    5. Do I really have to pick a favourite? - I like yoghurt and fruit for dessert, anything chocolate based, ice cream, really anything sweet!!
    6. Nissan Xtrail
    7. I dream of Holiday's full stop - no particular destination! But beach side is ideal...
    8. Summer - no annoying sicknesses plague me in Summer, morning sunshine & heat, the ability to wear and need less layers, summer fruit, and holidays!
    9. mmm I'm never great with "favourites"...and rarely do I watch movies more than once! Couldn't tell you really...
    10. friendly, opinionated, confident
    11. Well, most recently, was crashing my bike - first thought that entered my head as I was falling to the ground was "how embarrassing - a grown woman falling off her bike!" I wasn't hurt badly, just some grazing but my ego surely coped a beating that day!!

    Oh and PS. My most embarrassing moment was tripping on the steps at school on my way to class when I was about 15. I didn't fall, but I doubled over, flashing my (very daggy) undies to my entire commerce class. Including the fellow I was a bit keen on at the time. Augh!! :D

Conventional vs Natural

I've had to come face to face with some hard facts lately. I've known since I was about 18 that I'm sensitive to gluten and dairy products. But it wasn't life threatening, so I've just bodged along, sometimes going hard core and not eating any gluten or dairy and other times eating whatever I wanted until I got sick and had to slow down a bit. Mostly I've maintained a bit of a middle road, prefering to eat gluten or dairy free, but eating other stuff if I felt I could tolerate it. Not any more. I"ve had some worrying trends with my health lately and so the gluten-and-dairy-free diet has begun. I'm tired just thinking about having to think and cook gluten-free and dairy-free meals! But I just wanted to share how the solution to my health concerns came about. I've been to my GP and had some tests done which all, worryingly, came back negative (apart from a sinus infection). NOT ONCE did she mention that my condition may have something to do with

A Dessert Too Good To Be True!

I looooove desserts (who doesn't?), but with my dietary requirements it can be hard to find a dessert that I have no reaction to. Recently, I remembered a great rice dessert my mum used to cook, so I made up my own version of it! I thought I'd share it with you because a) it's cheap, b) it's yummy, c) it's easy-peasy to make and d) it's filling for hungry children! This is it: Cook rice in a rice cooker (it's stickier and more 'pudding-y'), while still hot add 2-3 tbsp of brown sugar depending on the quantity of rice and some chopped up fruit (we've tried pineapple, pear and apple so far). Serve. Other versions: To the recipe above, with pineapple and brown sugar, add marshmallows for an extra treat! Cook rice, add some condensed milk - not so healthy, but a great emergency dessert! Cook rice, add maple syrup and fruit. Cook rice, add sugar and fruit. Cook rice, add golden syrup or honey and fruit. It's probably not everyone&#

Attack

I didn't know all that much about spiritual warfare eight weeks ago. Now I know more. On October 14th, my seven-year-old son was baptised. It was higher than any other 'mountain top' experience I have ever had. Ever. Better than getting married, better than going to church camp. Better than the day he was born. I'd had baptism for him on my heart for about six months prior. I continually had that feather-brush thing going on in the back of my mind about having him baptised and becoming a christian. It felt weird. I didn't know how to approach talking to my own child about Jesus and I felt like a bit of a spiritual gumby. That's a terrible phrase, but it's how I felt. Like I was moving through wet cement to reach him. I prayed about it lots whenever it felt heavy on my heart and prayed for God's protection over him while I looked for any small opportunity to start 'the' conversation that is the single most important conversation one can
