Cate's Diary

Your new acquisition reminds me of the invisible hat Tiffany gets given in "a hat full of sky" so I made mine tall and pointy ;)
 
I don't ever want to keep a lizard as a pet. They belong in their natural habitat. I'm lucky in that I live in the bush(as it's called in Australia) & all I have to do is walk outside & look on the rocks & I can see skinks anytime. Sometimes they get inside & I take them out again, so our little dog doesn't kill them. I hate seeing birds in cages. I have bird baths everywhere & love watching them come & go.

1st fast day yesterday for the NY- 1.5kg down already. I'm only 1kg off my original GW now, but then I'm aiming for another 5gs to get back down to my LW of 2007. I can do this! 5:2 really suits me. I got through yesterday easily.

LaMa I think my hat is purple with a mixture of red & yellow smiley faces all over it....maybe pointy too.......I have pictured putting it on before I get out of bed every day so far this year. :D :D :D
 
Hi Reptileboy
We have these reptiles here in Tassie(amongst lots of others incl. snakes & skinks)-

Blue-tongued lizard.
& a Happy New Year to you too!
That's like the coolest looking thing ever. I want to make a move where a nuclear accident causes one to grow 50 feet tall and terrorizes a city.

I've been in dire need of a positivity hat my whole life. I'd wear one, but I don't think I'd look very good in it. *rimshot*
 
Mine´s deep blue with stars on, but that´s a whole nother topic :p O, and I think it´s got a veil floating from the tip, possibly made of respun cobwebs, but that´s so thin so thin it´s hard to be sure. Catches and immobilizes hornet thoughts of course.

That one made me chuckle - but I´m still sending a container full of hats your way.
 
I like the sound of your hat LaMa! I told my sister, H & R, our younger son about my invisible positivity hat & they both cracked up laughing. R, in particular, might just start putting one on before he gets up. He REALLY liked the idea. Doing random acts of kindness every day for 2016 is another. I'm going to make 2016 a good year!

Doing a FD today & will try to keep Mon & Thur my FD's each week, until I get to my LW. There is absolutely no point me ever saying what my actual weight is, because everyone has their own views on what an ideal weight or BMI is & I know what mine is. It is above what anyone ever thinks I am. I have always weighed about 10kg more than anyone thinks I am. I do not look good skinny.

G & I are off to the tip again today. This time it will be open! On New Year's Day we were just thinking it was a normal old Friday, & of course it is not. When G got really cranky over the tip being shut I said - "If that's the worst thing that happens to us this year, we'll be laughing!" We have a ute load of well-travelled rubbish :blush5:

Bye for now, xoxo Cate.
 
:) That could totally have been me on New Year´s Day... Also: I have the same "problem" with people underestimating my weight and I tell myself it´s because of unexpected muscle mass ;) I´m with you on the fast days again, and this time I mean business!
 
Count in me in to the 'people underestimate my weight' crew. I think maybe the long limbs are helping that. Those extra inches gotta weigh something, I guess!
 
Happy New Year to you beautiful Cate! I hope it was a blessed Holiday season surrounded by loved ones..............I love all the positivity that you are throwing this 2016, as always YOU INSPIRE US!! This hat of yours is the best kind of hat anyone can wear.........your daily act of kindness can be sending one of those to a person out there that is having a grumpy day...........I always say: "I wish everyone happiness, I wish everyone to have a life where their dreams are coming true...if they envy me, may I return in LOVE.......may these people get an amazing life and MORE.........the more people are happy, less problems I WILL HAVE!!" that's what I tell my patients when doing therapy with them and they start complaining too much about others...hahahahaha

Hi LaMa, Oaks & CaliGirl. I woke up feeling like I hadn't had any sleep at all(I hadn't had much) & felt fairly flat, until I read your posts. Taking on a new responsibility feels like a mistake. I will have to master it, so it doesn't feel so stressful. or I will have to relax my standards somewhat. I don't think I will even try to do the job as B did.
Whoops- G said it's time to go!!
Love you guys, xoxo Cate
 
I'm doing fairly well with my positivity hat the last couple of days and it's shown in my various food and activity choices. Unfortunately I was wearing my negativity boxer shorts on Saturday night. Will have to take those out to the dumpster.

Hope the sleep improves. I got a new mattress topper for Christmas and am hoping that helps me with my sleep. Very comfy so far.
 
No, LaMa, not at all! Vee- take those bloody negativity boxers off & burn the bastards! ENOUGH! New, sexy "2016 is my year" undies required. Get with this Vee!
 
I think we had better put this whole conversation to bed :D
Oaks- that's funny! A little bit of new year madness won't hurt any of us, that's for sure! Crazy is fun :)

I'm off to women's golf today, after a 3 week break. I can't say I have missed it at all. I have missed golf though & haven't played since the 15th Dec. This morning I pictured a green hat with golf balls all over it, decorated it a little bit more with a few tees & then got out of bed smiling. New Year, stronger me. I'm borrowing KP's scarf as well this morning, but I call it something a bit stronger :D

Love to you all, xoxo Cate
 
Have fun at golf! Maybe in the last three weeks the club has changed for the better. People sometimes tend to be more altruistic after the new year, at least for a month before they get all grumpy again.
 
I can just see you with your golfing hat, a rim-free, bowler-like affair with a little bunker on the side for a flower :) I like this game!
