WOW I have a Blog!!! Now what??

Well, I was mesmorised by my pal Sal's blog about her labour story and this enticed me to start my own. For those of you reading about us.
Tunney Tales - along the lines of the Tunney Farm which is what we are called by a very good friend of mine tells her family when we look after her K9. Sounds like the funny farm, and some days I think it is!!!
I am wife to Colin for 6 years and a Mum to Kadence who is 2 years old and Dominic who is 5 months old. I'm also Mum to two beautiful border collies. A blue/white female Skye Blue and a black/white male Blaze. Our female border collie has Addisons disease so I would love to hear from anyone who has this illness with their K9 in Australia. She receives cortisone twice a day and (funny as it is) sudafed for incontinence. Heaven help us if we ever have to travel with her and get sudafed through customs!!!
We live on 2 and a half acres in North Brisbane. We are putting our dream home up for sale this week on the market. Lifestyle change - col is applying for a job in the mines. He works as security at the moment. This year is going to be a big one for us: selling dream home, a move, investing in property, change of job for col, change of living conditions for all of us, I'm not returning to work this year, Dominic's many firsts, my big 30 birthday in March (yucko!!), surviving Kade's terrible twos etc.
My brother Ben travels the world on board cruise ships so you may hear alot about him here too. At the moment he is on the Queen Elizabeth II on a world cruise. He is the lead trumpet player.
My interests: scrapbooking (I have a wonderful bunch of girls I scrap with - Friday Croppers) - not that i've scrapped much since Dominic was born, (Col works night shift), movies, reading, Guide leader, handicrafts, outdoor activities (abseiling, water skiing, hockey), dancing, dog training, 4wding, shopping (especially for bargains).
Favourite colour: pink
Favourtie food: spaghetti or pasta dishes (I love Thai too but my baby boy who is breastfed doesn't like me eating it at the moment)
Favourite sport: hockey
Favourite drink: kahlua (even though its been over 12 months since my last drink)
My next husband will be Brad Pitt. (I think Col is pretty safe!!)
Dislikes: beans, pumpkin, football, tennis, cricket (don't dislike the sports just boooring to watch), beer.
Allergies: white chocolate and passionfruit - both make me throw up.
