Pretty angel earrings from Bettina. 
Annie is in love with them.
I’ve been having lots of fun on the Wii Fit, also using the treadmill every day. Getting in a good combination of exercise. The girls and I take turns on the Wii Fit during the day, it is amazing how quickly the time passes when you are all taking turns – I’ve already racked up an hour today!
Yesterday we had a family birthday party for my nephew L and Heidi. Their birthdays are at the end of January, but we had the party now while everyone is here (family visiting from interstate).
I made Heidi a birthday cake:

Couldn’t compete with my Nephews cake though, his Mum works for Mars and they were doing special orders at the factory so he got a Mars Bar cake made in the shape of the number 5:

I’m feeling more positive. When we visited the dentist recently he said the ulcer in my mouth was a sign of a viral infection. Pondering that might have contributed to my feeling so depressed. The exercise is certainly helping and I’m trying to balance 30 minutes of internet time/watching DVD/Stitching with 30 minutes of doing something exercise/housework etc. Its not perfect but it is good as I can get right now and I’m working really hard to not beat myself up for not doing things perfectly. I get really upset when I can’t do something ‘just right’ and then I don’t bother doing it again or I put it off for as long as possible which is not good. Thus I work on ‘it is okay to not be perfect’.

Love the angel earrings – I have a pair just like them.

A doctor and a witch. Now that’s a weird combination. *sniggers*
The earrings are gorgeous.

The earrings are gorgeous
And I love the dress-ups too.
Please look after yourself, especially if you have a viral infection which may or may not be contributing to the depression. The wii Fit sounds like a great way to get some exercise and include the girls. Take care OK?

Great earrings !!!
It’s great we picked up exercise at the same time: we can motivate each other
My muscles feel sore today: I don’t know if I should weight training today. If I had found my DVD: walk the pounds off, I could do another kind of exercise . 
with me, when I don’t do things correctly, I sometimes prefer not to do anything …
bad bad girl 
can’t help it though …

It’s okay not to be perfect. It’s okay not to be perfect. I’ll repeat it along with you. It sure needs to be beaten into my head!
I’ve been aiming at a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii, and coming in around 1 hour so far, and am dreaming of … mini skirts. Yep.

It’s ok not to be perfect is a great thing to be working on.
I’m much the same.
glad the earrings went down so well
