Well Groover's it's been a BIG EVENTFUL HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE day!!

First Mum Dove appeared, then when I came home to meet the plumber (and thanks Kim my pipes are fine hehehe) both Mum & Dad Dove were sitting in their nest!

Now the Plumber was here to quote on a new shower nozzle for Funny Nana anddd if only I had thought to take a pic for you of this but Funny Nana's toilet (remember this used to be Jake's toilet....) not only does the water keep running but the whole cistern which is attached to the wall - was on a very big lean!

I think Jake must of had a BIG NIGHT on that toilet one night LOL

So our Plumber fixed the toilet and is coming back tomorrow to bring a new cistern anddddd and new nozzle for Funny Nana! Seeeee my life is FULL of exciting things hehehe.

And hello kids but speaking of EXCITING.... Are you sitting down?

Today after work I went to test drive a Mazda 2, at a dealership not far from my work. Now a little side note: I went to ring Funny Nana to tell her what I was doing but she didn't answer the phone, so I thought oh I shall just try again a bit later. Prob 10 phone calls later!!!! I kid you not - still no answer.

So whilst I am test driving this lovely little car, in the back of my mind is "What if Funny Nana is passed out on the floor orrrrr laying there DEAD!!". I have kinda a good imagination!

So here I am at 45 and about to do one of the biggest things I have done so far in my life (besides buying a house, moving jobs and giving birth to Baby Jake's head!!!) and Funny Nana is in the back of my mind the whole entire time.....

Now I was very lucky as I met two lovely guys tonight whilst looking and test driving the Mazda 2. First of all there was Phil Keresztes the very brave man than not only drove with me butttt answered my 101 questions! Cause all good Morley's like to ask questions :)

We had a great time talking Brisbane Night Clubs in the 1980's and thennn came the big decision:

YES, I KAREN "KAZZACHEZZA" MORLEY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR TONIGHT!!!!

First time in my life that I have ever bought a new car courtesy of both Funny Nana and my Grandad.

And here is the thing Groover's Phil was sooo nice as he took the time to not only listen to my story of how I am feeling about not being ready to get rid of my Grandad's car, he also gave me some wonderful advice about maybe not trading it in (as I prob wouldn't get very much for it) and the big thing which I hadn't thought of was that maybe by trading it in now, and not being completely ready welll it might make me think of the new car in not a positive way.

Now some of you may think I am strange, ok LOTS OF YOU KIDS DO hehe butttt this made alot of sense to me.

So kids (and just so you know, there are no kickbacks for saying this....) if you too find yourself in the market for a new car, go see my new friend:

And speaking of the 80's, next on my visit there tonight was to see Allan Gee to part with some cash! Now Allan made this a painless experience :) as we too talked about the 1980's, this time we discovered that we both went on the FM104 Rock Cruise (only one year apart).

He even sang me two 80's songs.... and I got no further discount for that WTF! haha But we also discovered that we both had the movie Poseidon Adventure in common (long story...) ok make that 3 songs. He also sang "The Morning After" (them song from Poseidon Adventure) to me, well a few lines anyway and STILL NO MORE DISCOUNT tee hee.

So after my big purchase (I get it in approx. one and a half weeks) I then drove home wondering what I would find when I did get home. So I get home and Funny Nana is fine.

You see I had left the home phone upstairs and she didn't hear it ringing and she was just as worried about me thinking that maybe I had had a car accident and was expecting two policemen to knock on the front door.

So all of us, including Embee Louise (as Funny Nana said she was worried too) had a big night and so we are all pretty stuffed and I am sure will sleep well.

On that note I am off to have another amazing spa. Last night there was a Full Moon and the spa was ohhhh so warm and the sky was clear with beautiful stars. I even saw a Shooting Star and of course made a wish.

Tonight, well tonight I am content to just lay there and chill!

Night kids

Holiday Addiction & Swimming - Poseidon Adventure Style

So with being sick last week and at the start of this week I have no concept on what days are what! I cannot believe that tomorrow is Friday! That’s just plain crazy.

Doesn’t time/life go by fast sometimes...

Embee Louise spent the day with me today at work whilst the rest of our fence was going up. She sure loves it there and makes me laugh as she is soooo social with everyone and likes to check out what’s going on.

We even had a team meeting and I joked that Embee was at work to take the minutes because she is better at them than me ☺

I also picked up my Mum from her retirement village tonight as she is spending the next few days with us. Haven’t seen her for a while. Funny isn’t it again when life gets busy. But will be nice to hang out with her and I knowwwwwwwww Embee Louise just loves it ☺

And as I said before our Fence was finished today! But we got home and it was dark so I don't have a pic tonight. But kids, it looks
A M A Z I N G!! Promise I will have one for you tomorrow night.

It’s very exciting when you start to see it all come together. The Electrician is coming tomorrow and over the weekend and today I rang and booked the delivery date for the Spa. Gotta love it when it all works…. (I guess shouldn’t speak too soon…) but I will be positive!

And it’s also at this time of year when I start to brainstorm holiday ideas. Nahhh let’s face it I’m always doing that LOL. But I guess it’s getting closer to some of my holiday plans and I’m a little bit excited.

You see I can prob only go about 6 months and then I need a holiday and right now we are just over that 6 month mark. I guess we could call it Itchy Morley Feet ☺

So first up is a trip to Stradbroke Island in the middle of next week as a belated celebration for Jake’s 21st. So stay tuned for Straddie (nickname for Stradbroke Island) stories and pics.

Will be nice to just relax and see the water. I love the ocean and I love swimming, but especially more so in pools.

But here is a story for you.

When I was 7 turning 8 and I was in Grade 3, our Swimming Teacher would teach us to swim by holding our heads under the water. Of course eventually he was fired. But to this day I have a fear of being under the water. Now I can snorkel, but only from the top of the water and let’s say we were all swimming in a pool together (cause we are all friendly that way!) and if people started to play a bit rough and maybe hold someone’s head under the water, then I would freak out and have to get out of the pool or I might cry or panic.

Now as I said, I loveeeeeeeeeee to swim in a pool prob more than the ocean, as I just feel a bit safer but I cannot dive and I have often said that if you remember the movie Poseidon Adventure back in the day, the part where Shelley Winters had been a champion swimmer in her younger days and had to swim and hold her breath under all that water to take the rope to lead the way for everyone else to swim, well if I had been there I would have said, sorry I can’t do it. I will just have to stay here and die...

It just freaks me out so much. Sad isn’t it. But Groover’s it’s another True Morley Story.

I just realised that sounded like True Hollywood Stories hehehe.

Well on that note I am outta here.

See you tomorrow night
