Have you met "Mr Mojo" yet? He is in very good company with the rest of the 'cute critters' over on the NZ dare site.

Jo mentioned he bears a remarkable likness to ol' lips Mick Jagger and I think she hit the nail on the head lol!! I can just imagine Mr Mojo here busting out a few pelvic thrusts!! What to do with the remaining sock though?? A Mrs Mojo maybe?
Well Jim headed up North to begin our big adventure on Saturday....all on his ownsome (sob!), it feels very very strange not having him here, I think during our 9 years of married life we have only been apart one or two nights total! But hey its only for 3 weeks, just soooo glad things moved so quickly so that it didn't have to be any longer....I can but admire people like my super woman sis in law who is having to cope without her other half (my big brother) for 3 MONTHS while he is doing his stuff with the airforce in East Timor at the moment...(Hi Looby!) and my other super woman sis in law who spends days away from her family on the job with Air New Zealand (Hey Merrie!)...
Its funny its good in a way in that I’m realizing how many little things that I take for granted when he’s here and I am really noticing them now that he's not….Like when I cook tea he always stands in or near the kitchen and chats, reads mail or the paper, keeping one eye and ear out for the kids too…sometimes I get a bit annoyed as at some point he stands in front of cupboards I want to get into, or talks too much when I’m trying to get on, or the kids are drawn to him being there and crowd in too and then they start all start horsing about (oh yay love that while I'm trying to cook at the 5.30 witching hour when my brain has turned to mush!!!) but tonight I found getting the tea was very quiet and boring cause he wasn’t there doing just that, and I missed it so much!! Silly chook that I am!
Anyway Bud, huge hugs and good luck for your first day on the job tomorrow, you know I'm with you all the way!! Look forward to hearing all about it tomorrow night!
