Only 3 months to go.

Hi dee ho readers. (all 3 of you !!) ;) hehehe
Karen gone.
Mamma and Barry gone.
No kids this weekend.... and Matt's parent leaving the country on Saturday as well, to venture over to Greece and Germany and Canada and Alaska!! ... WOW!! Now there is something i haven't had in a while... only 2 people in the house!
The question is just now "what do we do with all this extra time".. or rather.. what do I do with all this extra time coz i know that Matt will be busy playing with his new toy that i got him for his birthday this morning. The X-Box!!!! (and grand theft auto 4 off course) Maybe I'll skip down the road to do some scrapbooking for a couple of hours on Saturday and leave my wonder boy to work on his gaming tan in the house while i mindlessly cut some photos and old paper into funny, freaky and fabulous shapes.

Yesterday was exactly 3 months until we leave for our super adventure trip and I'm already dreaming up all sorts of things to do in Dubai, Paris and England... not to mention when we get to Iceland. One of the things i want to do when we get to Paris is to find a gallery that sells big posters with fun retro pictures on them or old movie posters and buy some for the walls at home. There is no place in NZ (that i know of) that sells posters like that.
Another thing I'd like to do is to go to the Yann Arthus-Bertrand gallery and buy some of his Earth from Above photo posters. http://www.yannarthusbertrand.org/yann2/accueil.php
I rang around a few places in New Zealand the other week to find out if some of the places that have had his exhibitions on maybe had some left over posters but they had all run out and one of the lady's told me "oh no - i wish you had called a week ago coz i just gave the last ones i had to a school in this area!!"
WHY DID SHE TELL ME THAT !!! bugger ... hahahhaha but i will not despair- i will just go to Paris and get my own poster.
my favourite one is the Kenya one that has the tree in the desert and then i also really like the Heart in Voh from New Caledonia. Actually- i like most of the ones where you have to look twice to figure out what it is.
:)
That is enuff rambling from me today.

Over and out.
