Laura's Life: February 2006

Well what an exciting week it has been this week! The most exciting bit being the birth of Sheree and Alex's first child, Jacinta Alexis Rimmer on Wednesday 22nd Feb at 6.30am. She weighed 6 pounds 15 and everything went really well. I have met her once and she is of course gorgeous with lots of brown hair and blue eyes.

Now to the rest of the week. Monday I had what I thought was my last Bresagenies game (found out we're in semi-finals tomorrow despite having only won 1 game all season!). Tuesday I had my first intro session for uni. My first subject is Critical Thinking and reasoning for Health Professionals. I met some of the people in my course, most of them are Indian Dentists and Pakistanie Doctors. I was the second youngest there and the only one doing business. As this is an external subject I won't have much contact with these people but hope to have more to do with them in the rest of the course.

After the excitement of Wednesday with Sheree I went and had a nice dinner of Noodle Box on the beachfront watching the sunset with Randall, a great way to spend an evening. Thursday I went and saw Sean and Leanne and Jasmine and Tamika. All were doing well, although a little tired. There was great excitement as the girls had slept through the night the previous night, but mum and dad didn't sleep for worrying about them! I'm sure they'll get used to it though ;) I then had taekwondo. Friday I was hoping to visit Sheree and Jacinta again only to find they'd left the hospital and headed home. I called but Sheree is so tired she didn't want any visitors, so I hope to see them later in the week. Saturday was fairly relaxing which was nice, I started some study, it's so hard to get back into!! I was going to go to taekwondo, but with all the rain we had friday night my dojang was flooded! Tracy also arrived home safe and sound, with lots of new things to show me. I didn't know someone could buy so much jewellery!!

Today Randall had another Triathalon, and did an excellent time of 1:14. I have been helping out lately (as they are run by a lady at work), so I singlehandedly cut up 4 huge watermelons and 3 cases of bananas, as well as pouring drinks, moving tables and being handy. I got rather sunburnt which isn't good, especially as I spent the day (when I wasn't busy working) cold! I'm now just winding down and focusing on the week ahead. Renee and I have a glass bead making course coming up on Saturday, and Randall and I are headed to the fringe to see some comedians at the zoo which will be good.

Well take care all, and keep posting and commenting, I love hearing everything that's going on!

I've just been doing some study and looking at my learning styles and how i work (scary thought I know). If you're interested i'm a Provider-Guardian, look at the link for a description. I think it describes me quite well!

Well this week has been a busy one for me. My housemate Tracy may be away but I still don't seem to have any spare time! Last Sunday we had a forfeit for netball, so instead Randall and I went for a short bike ride in the car park (yes me on a bike, scary thought I know!). Monday, let's just say we lost netball and leave it at that. No scores are necessary.

Tuesday was Valentines Day, so Randall and I went out to a very nice dinner at Windy Point Cafe. It's so nice to have dinner overlooking the city of Adelaide. Wednesday and Thursday night I had Taekwondo, and Friday night Randall and I went down to Glenelg for dinner at the Strand.

I spent the morning with my nieces yesterday and went to Taekwondo again (3 times in one week, am I crazy?!?!) I spent the afternoon rearranging furniture, Dad I took your advice and 'made' my desk fit in my room. Now I have a nice quiet place to study. I then caught up with Mark, Simon, Callum and Tai in the evening enjoying the atmosphere of the Fringe Festival in the East Parklands and drinking hot chocolates. Today I am having Sheree over for lunch (she's due on Thursday!!!!), then watching the volleyball final (a team I used to be in with some people from work), then picking Randall up from the airport (he went to Melbourne for a friends party) then off to netball. So a busy week all up, but that's ok. I've also been busy cleaning the house as we have our first rental inspection on Wednesday. Then Tracy arrives home next Saturday.

I wish you all a fantastic week, I must go do some more cleaning!

This is me and my girls (neices), Tamika on the left and Jasmine on the right. This photo was taken yesterday morning at Sean and Leannes. I had Jasmine and Tamika was whinging and their parents were out the room so i thought I'd pick Tamika up as well. Jazzy looks a little unsure though!

This is my niece Jasmine at almost 6 months. I'll quite happily take the "cute tittle" Jazzy!

Ok i think that's enough from me for one day, a bientot people!

This is Renee and I at Schutz. Cider is very dangerous.

This is my housemate Tracy. She's currently in Dubai visiting her best friend Renee who is an air hostess for Emirates.

Hmmm now i suppose you want to know something about me! Well i'm 25, got a new man, Randall (see piccy below). He is one of my brothers good friends. We are heading to Sydney to see the Sydneysiders in March. I work for a Bitechnology company called BresaGen. I am working on gettting my black belt for taekwondo, hopefully next year! I start Masters of Health Science majoring in Business next week! Very scary. That's about it for now, but i'll keep you posted!
