having fun in the sun!!!


Geepers creepers I haven’t posted for a while aye!  How slack am I!  You know what it is?  It’s because I knew that I was making you all barf with jealousy over those hawaii pics, so I had to pull back a little hahahaha.  Nah, just kidding ya!  But guess, what?  I have some SERIOUSLY EXCITING NEWS:  Phoenix walked 5 steps ALL BY HERSELF yesterday!!!  She walked from mum to me and back again over and over and over and over – woohoo!  And then today, she stepped away from her walker and started dancing to Hannah Montana!!!  No hands!  Arrrrr!!!  So exciting!!!  I am so proud of my beautiful and very determined little girl.  She is blossoming here in Australia and it has been to wonderful to see. This morning I woke up to her cuddling me in bed – she had her leg and arm across my body and was patting me gently.  What a sweety.  ”I love cuggles” she said quietly, in her whisper voice because I was asleep.  Then she sang a song to herself.

Our journey in Australia so far has mainly been: Enjoying Friendships; treasuring, cultivating and renewing friendships.  I have missed having friends!  I love you all so much!  Australia has also marked the first proper singing lessons for me.  I love the challenge.  I love it when I ‘get it’.  I get frustrated with 32 years of bad singing habits that I have to ‘unlearn’.  But let me tell you, I now have a whole new respect for opera singers – I BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP YOU ALL!!!!  Even the bad ones!  I worship you too because I understand how difficult it is to sing like that and have it sound beautiful now…  

I have also been capturing a lot of images-of-love for friends and old clients…

emys-beautiful-babies-1hee hee little cutie pies.  Phoenix loved playing on their farm SO MUCH!!!  Unfortunately, I have become a little too busy, and long for the feeling of ‘holidaying’ to return.  I’ve had to turn down several photo shoots – which is always hard to do because I love it so much :)

Mmmmm and we’ve also been spending time at the beach *bliss*

city-beachSince being in Australia for such a long period of time, I have also taken the opportunity (interestingly) to take note of my hormones and how my mood is affected at different stages of my cycle – holy cow!  I have never, ever done this before and what a nut am I!!  I mean, I knew I was kind of cuckoo, but heck, I am all over the place: happy, sad, horny, angry, hateful, loving, paranoid, trustful – ARRRG!  What a nightmare!!  AB-SO-LUTE NIGHTMARE!!  Today I discovered that just before I ovulate and just after, I think the whole world hates me for one or two days.  Geesh!  Is anyone else like this?  Is it just me?

Psychotically Yours,

Love Jaz

    And you know what else I realized? On those whole-world-is-against-me days is when I want to shovel absolute crap loads of food into my mouth! Like how cookie monster is – completely out of control!!

    Same but different, and I only ever realize it after the fact!! When it’s happening, I just think what a witch I am and don’t realize why! The food has to be Trader Joe’s chocolate, some kind of chocolatey caramelly cookies, and I have even been known to eat uncooked fudge cake batter to satisfy the chocolate/sugar craving. The cake batter thing happens late at night when I can’t get caught! Insane we are!!
