Random Facts

The last 2 days have been full of random facts and unneccessary information.  Some of which is coming from my sons who beleive I need to know all the weird and entirely inappropriate things their peers are saying in the playground and some of which comes from me.  I find out some amazing things on the internet while avoiding working. 

Yesterday the 3 guys went to a 'Kick-a-thon'.  Brady completed 1000 kicks (not just any kicks but the real kind that you do when you are at karate , they have a name but I forget it right now) for the sum of $48 in sponsership.  I stayed at home with Abby and tried to catch up on paperwork.  Tax stuff.  Monthly PAYE and all those other things you have to do when you have a business and employees.

But instead of completing said paperwork I found out that a leap year is any year divisable by 4 but not by 100.  I passed this gem of info on to my friend Lucy, to which she mentioned she would sleep waaaaay better knowing that.  I also counted back my age in days from when I was born to my first date with Paul.  See I knew that information on leap years would come in handy and I then counted forward the date since then.  I then figured out that on September 9th 2009 will be the day that I will have been with Paul longer than I have been without him.  Which left me feeling 2 things. 1. Old.  2. Like I still need to get the tax done since it had to be at the tax dept by the 20th.  Really I need to focus more on the task at hand.

So anyway.  Today I have a list of things to do and so far I have managed to successfully avoid all of them.  Except for posting off the Stampin' Up! prizes.  That, I managed.  I have 4 classes waiting to be formulated and written up and step shots created.  None of which will happen while I'm typing on my laptop but somehow creating a blog post is a neccessary procrastinationery did I just make up a word step in the process.  Wish me luck.

I'll leave you today with another layout from the latest Tarisota kit.  This one is a blue teal colour, how'd that happen? ;o) ..this one is a whole bunch of pics from the first few days we had the kittens.

    “leap year is any year divisable by 4 but not by 100” Hmmm … not actually true – the year 2000 is divisible by 100 yet it was a leap year. A Leap Year is a year divisible by 4 except the “00” years and they must be divisible by 400 to be a Leap Year.
    I love that kitty photo!
