His name was Andy, and we became very close friends for the duration of time at Primary School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember the Egg Hunts every Easter - we would spend our recess &amp; lunch times creating little nests under the big peppercorn trees behind the lunch shed. We'd dig holes in the dirt, filling them with the leaves and pink pebbles that had fallen from the trees - I can still recall the smell of these leaves! On the school day that fell closest to Good Friday, everyone would go with their class teachers and see what had been left for them in their nests.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;I remember the school concerts at the end of every school year - our drama/music teacher would give each class their own play to put together and act out on stage in the old institute building. These concerts were attended by parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbours, friends, it was really a big event. At the end of each concernt, the entire school (usually about 60 students) would gather on the stage to sing some Christmas carols. At my last concert when in grade 7, a friend and I dressed as Nuns, held candles, and sang The Lords Prayer. Then I changed costumes and danced the Can-Can with the other three girls who were in grade 7 with me. In total there were only seven of us in grade 7, and we were each awarded a special gift that year at the end of the concert. I was introduced to the audience as being the 'mother of the school' &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt; I honestly loved going to school. I have so many memories from all the concerts I was a part of for those seven years. &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can recall all the nature films we watched, all the projects we did on animals and different countries around the world. I can remember watching the olympic games, and writing letters of encouragement to some netball players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can remember all the camps we went on - each year we went somewhere different. The &lt;a href="http://sa.ymca.org.au/index3.php?O=articles&amp;amp;amp;amp;T=V&amp;amp;AID=5" target="_blank"&gt;YMCA camp&lt;/a&gt; - camping at &lt;a href="http://www.arburypark.sa.edu.au" target="_blank"&gt;Arbury Park Outdoor School&lt;/a&gt; - making a mud-brick house - orienteering - nature walks - playing murder in the dark and storm the lantern - Silk screen printing - nature walks - photography - water activities - too many things to write about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summery, I will say that my days of attending Primary School hold some of my most treasured memories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633276477948549199-7885256222610880649?l=amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/feeds/7885256222610880649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1633276477948549199&amp;postID=7885256222610880649&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/7885256222610880649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/7885256222610880649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/2006/12/blog-fodder-1.html' title='Blog Fodder #1'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03211807850652719068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633276477948549199.post-8083301690647311024</id><published>2006-12-01T09:38:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2006-12-05T09:48:52.786+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes'/><title type='text'>Thursday Thirteen #2</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://thursdaythirteen.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/TTrosetree.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;13 Things you'll find on my computer desk!&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;1) My computer, of course! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/grin.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) A 'verse-a-day' calendar. Today's verse is: For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with you favor as with a sheild. *Psalm 5:12*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) A printer, complete with some A4 copy paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) A white ceramic vase with blue oriental patterning on one side - I don't keep flowers in this vase, because our cat "KitKat" would try to eat them! So you will only find pens in this vase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Some music CD's - currently I have been listening to 'Falling Into You' - Celine Dion &amp; the Sountrack for Sleepless In Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Two CD-Rom discs that my son owns - Zoo Tycoon, Complete Collection &amp;amp; Taz: Wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) A postal catalogue from an Australian overstock outlet company - oodirect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) A consent form from my daughters school, asking permission for her to visit our local olympic pool as an end of year activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) A consent form from my sons school, asking permission for him to watch a documentary called 'Super size Me'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;10) A cute little teddy sitting on a satin pillow, holding a Christmas stocking and wearing a santa hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) A Christmas tree made of silver wire and silver tinsel - on top of this tree I have placed a gold angel holding a harp, and around the base of the tree are several imitation gifts covered in gold satin, gold foil stars, and gold wire ribbon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) A 5 cent coin that my daughter found on the floor this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) A bluetooth dongle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/SP_A0328.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.blenza.com/linkies/autolink.php?owner=ogutu&amp;postid=1Dec2006&amp;amp;meme=tt" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633276477948549199-8083301690647311024?l=amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/feeds/8083301690647311024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1633276477948549199&amp;postID=8083301690647311024&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/8083301690647311024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/8083301690647311024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/2006/12/thursday-thirteen-2.html' title='Thursday Thirteen #2'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03211807850652719068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633276477948549199.post-7346177836116698545</id><published>2006-11-30T09:56:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2006-12-05T09:47:20.561+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes'/><title type='text'>Holiday Meme.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I saw this meme over @ &lt;a href="http://mysoulfulthoughts.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;Heart Of Rachel&lt;/a&gt; &amp; knew she wouldn't mind if I played too - thanks Rach &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/xmasdecs.jpg" align="left" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;1) Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate&lt;em&gt;?.. I would have to say Egg Nog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;2) Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree&lt;em&gt;?.. Both of my children tell me that they are too old for Santa &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/wink.gif" /&gt; but back when they were little ones, Santa always wrapped the presents.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;3) Coloured lights on tree/house or white&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;?.. I am a 'christmas lights-a-holic' &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/grin.gif" /&gt; I just love them! I have coloured and white, and musical lights as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;4) Do you hang mistletoe&lt;em&gt;?.. Sadly&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;we don't have&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;any &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;real mistletoe &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/sad.gif" /&gt; but we do hang some fairly realistic looking 'fake' mistletoe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;5) When do you put your decorations up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;?.. Usually during the first weekend of December - we'll be busy this weekend! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/smile.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;6) What is your favourite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?.. &lt;em&gt;This is an impossible question for me to answer! I love the salads, the fruit platters, everything!! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/grin.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;7) Favourite holiday memory as a child?.. &lt;em&gt;I have so many holiday memories that I cherish - I just loved the feeling of Christmas as a child - the love that seemed to be in the air - the fun of sneaking under the tree with my sis, late Christmas eve when everyone else was sleeping - visiting Nan &amp;amp; Grandpa on Christmas eve - helping Mum prepare the food while listening to her favourite Boney M Christmas album - sitting outside, searching the night sky for the biggest star, convinced it was the star of Bethlehem. My list of favourite memories is honsetly endless &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;8) When and how did you learn the truth about Santa&lt;em&gt;?.. I was quite young - it was when I recognized that Santa's handwriting was very similar to my step fathers &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/3.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;9) Do you open a gift on Christmas eve&lt;em&gt;?.. Absolutely! It is a tradition I started on my son's first Christmas &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;10) How do you decorate your Christmas tree&lt;em&gt;?.. Decorating of the tree is something my children love to do on their own - though I help them with the lights and the actual erecting of the tree. My son is a real sweetheart, he always loves to help his sister reach the top of the tree to put the star in place &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;11) Snow! Love it or Dread it&lt;em&gt;?.. I've never experienced snow &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/crying.gif" /&gt; though I often find that "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/wink.gif" /&gt; It will happen one day - God willing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;12) Can you ice skate?.. &lt;em&gt;I've never tried!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;13) Do you remember your favourite gift?.. &lt;em&gt;I'd have to say that my favourite gift as a child was a xylophone, I just loved it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;14) What's the most important thing about the holidays for you?.. &lt;em&gt;The most important thing for me is to keep it real. It's sad that the true meaning of Christmas is becoming lost amongst the dash to get the right gifts, and all the other seemingly 'important' things to do. I always make sure that my children don't forget why there's a Christmas - it's important that they first remember Jesus and spend some time in prayer before they go under the tree. It's so sweet to hear them wishing Jesus a happy birthday, and thanking God for everything &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;15) What is your favourite holiday dessert?.. &lt;em&gt;My Mum's pavalova &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;16) What is your favourite holiday tradition?.. &lt;em&gt;In childhood it was always a tradition to visit with Nan &amp;amp; Grandpa on Christmas eve.

Depending on where you live and what religion you are, you may celebrate different holidays and at different times of the year than others. But most of us do celebrate at least one holiday a year. Let's share! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/smile.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Which of the holidays that you celebrate, do you feel is the most important?.. &lt;em&gt;Christmas &amp; Easter! - sorry I won't choose just one &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/wink.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Which holiday do you most enjoy?.. &lt;em&gt;Christmas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Is there one holiday that your family tries to get together every year? If so, which one?.. &lt;em&gt;My family fell apart several years ago &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/sad.gif" /&gt; There are a few member who refuse to be in the same place together, which is really sad. So there is no time when my family gets together - but one day this will change, I pray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Share one special memory from a past holiday.. &lt;em&gt;Every Christmas from my childhood holds special memories - I can so clearly recall one of my sisters always talking me into sneaking out of bed on Christmas Eve, just to take a peek under the tree. The house we grew up in was very old, with loudly creaking floor boards! It's funny how quickly we learned where to place our feet to make the least amount of noise possible. I also remember the year when the Christmas tree fell over (it was a live Christmas tree that year) - my sister was convinced that the loud thud was Santa 'crash landing' in the front yard! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/3.gif" /&gt; It wasn't until morning that we found the tree on it's side, and water everywhere! That was the year we received our very first doll's house that our step father had made himself, and our Mum had made all the dolls and furniture. I also received a xylophone - it was my most precious possession for years! I could honestly sit here for hours, recounting all the tales from past Christmas's - I can still recall all the precious old ornaments, the gorgeous nativity advent calendar - they just don't make things the way they used to!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Name one holiday coming up, that you're really looking forward to, and why&lt;em&gt;.. Christmas, of course! This will be the first Christmas that my children &amp;amp; I have spent together with hubby/Dad - and it will be his first Australian Christmas! I'm really excited about it! &lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/love.gif" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/flight_into_egypt.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633276477948549199-6533280895540099377?l=amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/feeds/6533280895540099377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1633276477948549199&amp;postID=6533280895540099377&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/6533280895540099377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/6533280895540099377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/2006/11/monday-madness_28.html' title='Monday Madness.'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03211807850652719068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633276477948549199.post-4801099749533965530</id><published>2006-11-23T11:56:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2006-11-25T07:26:22.071+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes'/><title type='text'>Thursday Thirteen.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://thursdaythirteen.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;IMG SRC="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/rose.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Thirteen Things I Am Thankful For..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) I am thankful that I am a child of God - I honestly can't imagine my life without Him. I praise the day that my heart was opened to receiving Jesus as my Saviour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) I am thankful for my Husband. I have never felt so complete, so loved and so accepted. He is my precious treasure. Every day that I wake up next to him is a gift.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) I am thankful for my children. I am blessed beyond my worth, having received the gift of two precious angels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;4) I am thankful for my Mum. She has been an ever present source of support, encouragement, and love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;5) I am thankful for my friend Shannon. God works in mysterious ways, and He was surely up to something when He caused our paths to cross. Shannon is a huge blessing to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;6) I am thankful for my sight. I realize what a blessing it is to be able to see the world around me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;7) I am thankful for being able. All my limbs are intact, and are working as they should, for this I am extremely thankful and grateful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;8) I am thankful for the strangers I pass in the street who take the time to smile and say hello. It's amazing how such a small thing can brighten the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;9) I am thankful for my pets - I love them all so much. My life would be so empty without them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;10) I am thankful for being alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;11) I am thankful that I have been taught the true meaning of love - learning the difference between human, selfish love, and agape love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;12) I am thankful for the internet, which has caused me to meet many new people from across the globe. Some experiences have been rather shocking, while some have impacted my life in a way that has made me a better person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;13) I am thankful for being me - yes, I like me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.blenza.com/linkies/autolink.php?owner=ogutu&amp;postid=22Nov2006&amp;amp;meme=tt" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633276477948549199-4801099749533965530?l=amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/feeds/4801099749533965530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1633276477948549199&amp;postID=4801099749533965530&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/4801099749533965530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/4801099749533965530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/2006/11/thursday-thirteen.html' title='Thursday Thirteen.'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03211807850652719068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633276477948549199.post-618336793957505616</id><published>2006-11-22T12:30:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2006-11-23T09:16:40.349+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random Photo'/><title type='text'>Murray Bridge.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Murray Bridge, South Australia - 1879&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img alt="Murray Bridge" src="http://usera.imagecave.com/ogutu/blog/photo035-copy.jpg" align="left" border="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bridge was designed by William Dempsey who was the UK consultant for South Australia.

To you, kisses are the finest expression of love. (And you love being in love.) You think that the best kisses happen when the feelings are strong and the love vibes are pumping at maximum speed. That doesn’t mean you’re a traditional kisser, though – you love to mix it up with creative kisses and keep things interesting. Kissing is an art, and when you get going you’re like Picasso.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img height="199" src="http://www.espinthebottle.com/images/quizzes/Silhouettesunsetkiss.jpg" width="300" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.espinthebottle.com/quiz_take.phtml?qid=17&amp;amp;trip=631"&gt;Take This Quiz!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633276477948549199-1277343818994251607?l=amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/feeds/1277343818994251607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1633276477948549199&amp;postID=1277343818994251607&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/1277343818994251607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633276477948549199/posts/default/1277343818994251607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amanda-lifeisprecious.blogspot.com/2006/11/picasso.html' title='Picasso!'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03211807850652719068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633276477948549199.post-6832463700217273935</id><published>2006-11-21T11:54:00.000+10:30</published><updated>2006-11-21T11:59:55.864+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes'/><title type='text'>Monday Madness</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mmadness.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mondy Madness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.
