I’ve had such a bloggy full week. The building community masterclass, the comments post that required a lot of commenting and then there was my accidental serving of a side order of porn with my blog posts… if you thought Captcha was a hurdle, try adding adultfriend finder! I’m so very sorry about it all – my website host is working overtime to fix it and I’m assured that you’ll only ever see the site that one time… so please bear with me. I was going to go offline but then I thought “I’m not gonna let the spammers get me down!”. So, look away, won’t you? It’s not me, I promise!
So, you’ll be pleased to know that things have settled down on the home front, with no child off sick for an entire week. I feel like we are out of the gates for term 4 at last. Mind you, it’s been such a big week on the social front that I found myself having to cancel some evenings out just to get my work done. Don’t you think it’s weird how your life can have tumbleweeds running through it for weeks and then suddenly everyone wants to meet up next Tuesday?
The only issue with the sudden spark of a social life is that it’s Cappers’ island party tomorrow and so far it’s a bit of a deserted island. I’ve got to pull this puppy together TONIGHT or we’ll be having Castaway reenactments in the backyard at 2pm tomorrow.
Other things that had me this week:
Reading – blog comments on other people’s blogs.
Writing – about people not wearing pants.
Making – excessively large hibiscus flowers… or at least I will be in about 5 minutes time.
Wishing – I was here, having a cup of tea with Michelle.
Loving – friendships and silly talk and being brave enough to conquer mountain goats.
Wondering – how I feel about this video, but I just can’t decide if it’s all shades of awesome or just plain shady.
Happy reading.

Your blog is still serving u porn – I was faced with a lovely lady with perkier boobs than I when I clicked here.

Jodi Gibson (JF Gibson Writer) says
How come I missed the porn? Always the last to know!
Good luck with the party, I’m sure it will be a smash.
Maxabella says
I’m sure you’ll get a little peek soon, Jodi. They are a persistent bunch… unfortunately. x
Zanni Louise says
Silly spam. Why does it exist?
Meanwhile I am not sure what I feel about the f-bombing princess either. Not sure I would want my girls swearing like that, but the message is good. So much about feminism in the media lately. Sigh. Have a great week. x
Maxabella says
One of the little girls is just a bit too comfy dropping the bomb! It’s a great message, but I’m not so happy about the vehicle of choice… x
Mother Down Under says
I am sure the party will be amazing…I can’t wait to read the wrap up post.
I hope you get some sleep tonight!
Maxabella says
Not a lot last night, but I’m going to sleep like a… parent tonight! x
Sandra Kelly says
I’m sure the party will go off well! It’s amazing how amazing us Mum’s can be when the clock is counting down and we are under the pump. Xx
Maxabella says
We pull it together again and again because we’re awesome. x
Sarah Mac says
Good luck with the party! I had issues with the video because I just felt the swearing detracted from the message and it would have been just as powerful (if less controversial) without it. I missed the porn too sadly …
Sarah Mac says
Ha ha – and having said that – when I hit post on my comment I got a website asking if I wanted to meet sexy singles in Watford so now I don’t feel cheated at all!
Maxabella says
Your wish is my command?? I haven’t actually had the porn myself but I’m told it’s not hugely bad, so I’m hopeful that I’m not grossly offending anyone… ! x
Kristy @ Loulou Zoo says
Bron you have been on fire (well I hope not literally) this week with your posts. I must go back and comment, comment, comment everywhere for you…
Hope you have a lovely weekend and I’m sure the party will be amazing.

Maxabella says
Certainly it felt like a big week all round! I love getting your thoughts, Kristy – thanks, as always, for sharing them! x
Raychael aka Mystery Case says
I cheated this year and threw a breakfast (before school) party. I just didn’t feel like I could compete with any of the themed parties my girls had been to and to be honest I didn’t want to. The weird thing though, our party is the one everyone is still talking about because I suppose it was a bit different. For me, it was the easiest party to throw together. A stack of pancakes for a cake, A fruit platter, Juice and opening presents. A quick game of charades before walking everyone to school.
Maxabella says
I love it!! Guess what we’ll be having next year???? x
Kylie Purtell - A Study in Contradictions says
Haha, when I tried to click back after linking up I got the lovely Adult friend finder. Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago on my own blog. Have no idea where it came from but it hasn’t been back since, hasn’t been a problem for anyone else since (hoping I haven’t just jinxed myself though!) and I’ll be buggered if I could find anything in my code to point to the issue, so hoping it’s just gone away on it’s own/ Wishful thinking? Probably!
Maxabella says
I hope mine follows suit, Kylie! It’s such a bastard. x
Lisa says
I have loved your blogging posts and have learnt so much…best of luck with the party…hope you get to relax this weekend x
Maxabella says
Thanks Lisa – that’s so nice to hear. x
Lauren @ Create Bake Make says
I have no doubt the party will be amazing, you are the party queen! I hope you enjoy your weekend and have a chance to relax x
Maxabella says
Relaxing now and glad it’s all over. Was a good one, though. x
Bele @ blahblah says
You is one busy lady. Loving your work x
Maxabella says
I swear my gravestone will read “she finally got that lie down”… x
Malinda @mybrownpaperpackages says
And here I thought you did the porn just for me 😉 Let me see if it pops up when I hit submit this time … wait, let me make sure miss 5 isn’t peering over my shoulder …
Malinda @mybrownpaperpackages says
Nope – all good.
Maxabella says
Hee hee! They told me people would only see it one time, but I don’t think that’s the case… you might get lucky, lady. x
Malinda @mybrownpaperpackages says
Bah – I take it back. It actually came up in a new tab this time. Sneaky little spammers. Good luck to your IT guru.
Maxabella says
Groan. I’m sorry! x
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen says
I have only been redirected to your “alternate” site once Bron, bit of a giggle hey?
I hope your party was smashing, and I bet it was!! I so enjoyed watching your video, you speak beautifully.
And all your tips have been very helpful. Now I just need to get my act together x
Maxabella says
I think the video was the most intimidating thing I’ve ever done, but done it is! I’m glad you found it useful, Lisa. That means the world. x
