A summary

so far this week I have...

• had a public holiday
• gone to the gym on many occasions
• had a 12 hour day at work..literally 7.30 - 7pm - Ok so that is only 11 1/2 - I rounded up
• been to a conference
• conducted a 'shuffle' around southbank - I was encouraged by a random stranger ...when I stopped to walk he said "don;t stop keep going - Ive been watching you you've been going great" and then of course he ran past me into the distance never to be seen again. This jog was good in several ways because I finally went over the 2 pedestrian bridges - and I have been meaning to do that for a little while
• met up with a friend
• been caned at an outdoor training session.

This weekend I still have to

• go to a wedding
• get my hair done
• pick up my dad from a recent adventure
• go to indrops to work out what I am wearing to tomorrows wedding

I also need to somehow fit in some housework, washing etc.

My google reader must be at about 3 000 000. I haven't checked it for ages.

mmm mmm

Without going into a whole whingey thing - I haven't had much spare time lately - hence lack of blogging. This week is no lighter on the schedule - I am a busy girl. Last week I went and saw the above personage in concert. ( my sister got us tickets for my birthday) OMG - I could get busy with him. Can you put that on your blog? I just did.

so another week

has whizzed by. How does that happen? Things at work have been crazy busy busy for me for some reason this week - I have had a meeting every single day, which has meant i get to work earlier and stay later just to get all of my normal stuff done. SHEESH! I have also been working out at the gym twice a day most days and well literally this is the first time I have been on the computer at home since Monday. What is with that???

I also somehow found the time to go and see...

I really liked it. Anyway now i must go because I am running late for work and another meeting I have this morning.

Also Birthday celebrations start this weekend :)

by far the best

My in house photographer has suggested that today's photo is by far the best they have taken this week. I mean I had to use when that statement was made. Didn't I?

blurrrrrrrrrrrry

This is by no means my favourite photo - however it is the only one that isn't blurry. I wore my contacts today and for some reason they irritated me alllllllllllll day. I literally couldn't ait to get home and rip them out. Not much else to report - oh yeah apart from the fact that I am addicted to food - in a realy really really bad way :(

I have a crush

on a man named Kevin. Can you guess which one it is?

slacky mc.slack

I have been slack and have not taken any photos of my daily happenings for days now - perhaps I photo'd myself out on my holidays...

thought it might be time for one of these things

i am… a little conflicted about several things right now

i keep… ticket stubs from everything when I am away

i wish I could… win lotto - perhaps i should buy a ticket

i love… my new bedspread that i got from my sister and dad for Christmas. I just need to find a new bed and then I will reveal.

i dance… on the inside

i sing… in the car

i think… that it is nearly the weekend

i really… should get off the computer.

i need… somethin

i should… not get crankers

i can… find a bargain a mile away.

i like… cupcakes
i make… cupcakes
i always… always always eat too many nibblies...always. It's a disease :)

slap a 'new' sticker on it

and I want it. I am attracted to anything new in the supermarket that has a big flashin sticker attached that says it is new. So obviously when my sister told me about "milky feet" the new sensation sweeping the pharmacy world - I just had to have some. The concept is thus - you put them on your feet and lo and behold 5-10 days later it's like you have had a pedicure - all of the dry skin peels off of your feet. It actually sounds kind of gross but I did it none the less - it was also an excuse to sit with my feet up for a whole hour and do nothing ( because those are the instructions on the box) I am actually a little bit concerned about what the product actually is - but hey I 'milky feeted' on Saturday and haven't keeled over so...tomorrow is day 5!

parteeeeee

I like Christmas parties. And last nights was no different. I had a good time, and I drank ... too ... much ... water ..well it was clear liquid anyway

observations

so my work in the city has finished and I have observed several tings over the course of the 2 weeks...things like
* I think it is rude not to put your phone on silent...in the office..on the train etc. I also think it is not good to talk on your phone on the train. I really don't care what you are doing tonight, what you did last night, what the problems are at work. I don't KNOW YOU
*If I can hear the song you are listening to on your ipod - it is TOO loud
*What is with every single place selling coffee. People buying coffe add a lot of time to the procedure If it is a sandwich shop - it makes sandwiches not coffees
* lavender chocolates are yummy
*having one of those security keys neck things are a pain in the BUTT
* I am very appreciative of the fact that I live 5 mins from work...very glad. I was leaving home at 5.30 in the morning and not getting home until after 6. That is a long time to be away from home. I felt like all I did was go to work come hoem and then get ready to go to the gym again
*this is my last week at work - and I am seriously behind - but Oh well. It will all be fine.

I really did like my time in the city and would do it again if I was asked.

what did you do tonight?

i have...in no particular order

- slept on the couch

- watched TV

- eaten some cake ...for dinner

- sweated

-bought some songs on Itunes.

and trolled around on the net and found these cute things

and this...from a site called My life is average

Today, I attended a co-worker's wedding. A little boy who looked about 6 was coming down the aisle and he took two steps, stopped, and turned to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side), put his hands up like claws, and roared. Step, step, ROAR, step step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. The crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing and was almost crying. When asked what he was doing, he sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear." MLIA

OMG! AGAIN

Pretty sure I have mentioned one of my fav websites of late is people of walmart. While checking my goggle reader this morning - this was one of the pictures. I was totally lost for words. I love people of walmart, and can now often be heard muttering people of walmart alert when I see something that would be oh so appropriate. It really is worth clicking on the link

frazzled

Since about Thursday of last week - I have had various points in the day when my head has felt like it is going to explode. I have an extremely, extremely busy couple of weeks coming up so my commitment to blogging may just wane a little. Before you ALL start crying - I said may - I may very well manage to blog every day...I may not.

Won't that be a surprise.

101 things in 1001 days

So I have had an absolute shocker of a day today. Shocker I say. I really need to not get so worked up about things. This I am afraid is not so easy for me. While looking around the net tonight I came across this site...

www.dayzeroproject.com

Check it out. I have signed up...now I just need to work out my 101 things. Would you like to join me (and a gazillion other people) in the project?

I'm not sure how this relates to me having a crappy day but I am too over it to try and work out the connection. I am sure it is there - maybe me having a list will make me less stressed? maybe? who knows

just not proper

this was delivered on Saturday morning. AT 5.15...in the AM people. This shouldn't be a big deal, but it was because it was thrown in this spot we a great thud, and this spot is less than 1 metre from my sleeping head! Not proper at all, and another thing don't even get me started on why these things are still delivered. I haven't ever used one...ever.

all i have to say is

seriousl...sheesh! I have not been to sleep since 1.41 this morning.

I just never could

get into any of these books. I love reading - and can usually read anything. These 3 books though I started and never finished - and despite what the critics say, some people weren't liking it. Namely ME!
Sophie's World - I started and kind of enjoyed and slogged through probably 3/4 of it - but I just couldn't get to the finish line.
Oscar and Lucinda - I think maybe I read a chapter.
Snow falling on cedars - not sure if I even read 5 pages.

In the great bookcase clean up - they have been put out. My aim is to cart all the unwanted books to the markets and sell them - one day I will do this.

DO you finish a book no matter what? What books have you disliked?

a new addition to my google reader

This site made me LOL - so I had to add it to my google reader. DO you like how I haven't given any clues away about what it is...you will have to click and view. Perhaps I should start a new feature on things I add to my google reader? What say you?

I heart jacaranda's

I love this time of the year. I love the Jacaranda's. I went for a walk this afternoon and took a photo of every Jacaranda I saw. This walk wasn'tlong - it was around my block - that was it nothing major - but this is how many Jacaranda's there are in my hood. I can never remember what they look like without the flowers - my sister thinks they are ugly. I don't think they are - because well surely you would notice if there were this many ugly trees surrounding you? Wouldn't you?
