Midwifery is catching

Not sure how much of this is already up on here, but here goes:

I am Emma. I am 28 years old and live in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide. I have a kitty named Zaria and she is family to me - she is very pretty, and is 9 sometime this month! I’ve moved *mumblemorethan20mumble* times around the country but have only ever gone overseas once.

I recently got engaged: I proposed to my sweetheart Osk of 3 years (and he said yes!) and I have a fabulous ring to remind me of happiness when I’m down. We are planning on eloping next year at some point, possibly to New Zealand and having a big party when we get back, as neither of us wants a Wedding but we do like to party. I like cocktails - citrus ones or creamy ones, but not fruity ones so much. I love to sing in a choir and some of my closest friends are choristers from around the country and now the world. 

I knit, and dye yarn. I have a short attention span for knitting so I either knit small projects (scarves, hats, that kind of thing) or take forever to finish a garment. I finished my first jumper this year in a long time this year and I love it. My knitting blog is/was Knitting By Zen and knitting is my yoga in a lot of ways - I tend to get stressed when I can’t do it, and when I am stressed I try to do it more.

I love tea. And coffee. I don’t have a sweet tooth but love savoury things. I can’t eat wheat with gay abandon - I can eat small amounts of it, but not pasta or white bread. If there’s fat involved (say, pizza) then I can eat a little bit but not a lot. I’ve not gotten an Actual Diagnosis of this but I do know what makes me really ill, so I avoid it. For catering purposed I say "gluten free" but that’s not the case either. I love all things minty, and a good toothpaste makes me very happy. 

I have a yellow car. It’s BRIGHTYELLOW, not insipid custard yellow. I have a scooter as well which, unless it’s the middle of winter and/or raining, I ride a lot (2000km on the dial since last June now!). I also have a bike that I like to ride when it’s a bit warmer. I work at Bunnings, mostly on the cash registers but also in decorator, mixing paint. I’m the safety-officer type person for my store, which I know is appreciated by my boss even when he hates what I tell him.

That’s about all I can think of right now - I’m off to Brown Dog Cafe in Goodwood with my good friend Lisa from Midwife Mutiny in South Australia (yes, I hang out with famous people for coffee and FABULOUS lemon tart and I’ll be disappointed if it’s not there again. I’ll try to take my camera as well today - I forgot it last night!
