Quote from 'All the names'...

"...,He could choose another record card and go in search of that person instead, Chance doesn't choose, it proposes, it was chance that brought him to the unknown woman, and only chance has any say in these matters, There's no shortage of strangers in the files, But he has no reason to choose one rather than another, one in particular, and not just one of many, It doesn't seem a very good rule in life to let yourself be guided by chance, Regardless of whether it's a good rule or not, whether it's convenient or not, it was chance that put that card in his hands, And what if that woman is the same one, If she is, then that was what chance offered, With no further consequences, when out of the interminable line of consequences that come marching ceaselessly towards us we can only ever distinguish the first, Does that mean something could still happen, Not just something, everything, I don't understand, It's only because we live so sunk in ourselves that we don't notice that what is actually happening to us leaves intact, at every moment, what might happen to us, Does that mean that what might happen is constantly being regenerated, It's not only being regenerated, it's multiplying, you just have to compare the events of two consecutive days, I never thought of it like that, These are things known only to the angst-ridden.' - All the Names by Jose Saramago. I'm reading this at the moment and loving every word of it...thank you Sandy for the loan...:)...

Take me to your leader...

Dylan has taken to wearing the bin as a hat, Sandy thinks it has to do with the teletubbies...Dipsy wears a hat....mmm...could be...damn teletubbies. I just think he looks uber cute. Kinda looks like an alien...I keep on stressing that it is going to get stuck and I'll have to go to hospital with my two year olds head jammed in the bin...but it seems to be okay.

Monday night and it has been pretty much the same...

So...here is an update of what is happening in my life...I've been playing with Dylan in his playroom and am a little bushed....thus forgive me if a sound a little out of breath...Monday is almost always blue...thus today was no different...Dylan thinks I'm a tree because he climbs up to my head and sits on my crown...this... with me holding him otherwise he would surely fall ( I add this for all of you that might get the wrong idea and think D is a 'child prodigy acrobat'...)...He knows no fear...my Dylan. I had a good morning...productive...but I've been suffering from a stuffy nose and painful sinuses...plus I've been on medicine for about two weeks and the meds are beginning to effect my emotions and judgement....AARRGGHHH...sorry, I get frustrated...I feel abrupt and moody at times and then all sad and morose...this is not my natural state. Oh well...enough! Our friend Sandy loaned us her 'Curb your enthusiasm' discs....very good...seriously. I've inadvertently adopted a few phrases ...like 'What kind of person does that?'...etc.. er...I think I might be watching too much 'Curb your enthusiasm'... I had a strange thing happen to me this weekend after watching "Meet the Robinsons', which by the way was fantastic, you know some things you can change...but others they're just not up to you...I'm learning to let go and "keep moving forward". (shit... you know it is bad when you garnish life truths from an animation...guess who watches a lot of animations at home because of D)

I'm gonna take a shower with D...our bathtub plug broke and bathtimes for the past two days have been shower times...D loves it...so bath and bed now...

On Easter Sunday, eggs and big white rabbits...

Yeah...Heather made these really awesome hot cross buns...without the crosses...but no loss to quality! Some friends came over for an 'egg hunt' ...for Dylan and their Tod Ivo. Dylan and Ivo are buddies...We had a great time...Ivo was the great egg hunter...Dylan, well...the chocolate inside the first egg took all his attention away from the game...no worries though cause it was great fun nevertheless... Sandy and Ryan have just got a new addition to the family (about a month ago...I think)...Burl is Ivo's baby brother...and I don't think I have ever seen a more content baby than Burl...plus he is very cute....content and cute...cool combination....was i alliterating....sorry. Here are some photos...
