My little Christmas tree back in Canberra. :) It was a Christmas present from Rish about 6 years ago. I love it!

I’m off to my sister’s soon for lunch – but I have the sorest throat I’ve had in a while so just need to keep up that water!

I hope you all have a great day!

And to all a good night!

December 24, 2007 · 0 comments

We’re up in Newcastle – being social butterflies and trying to relax all at the same time :) Beach today and yesterday and much much food!

I hope everyone has a great couple of weeks! We’re off to NZ on Boxing Day, so will probably check in sometime after new year!

Take care! :)

Crash

December 19, 2007 · 0 comments

Okay, write this, eat my tomato, then off to bed.

After telling myself more days for the past month that I’m not sick and that I don’t have time to get sick so I’d better bloody well get on with things, I’m feeling my body start to give in, and I feel myself starting to let it.

Part of me is thinking that maybe if I just stay home tomorrow then I’ll feel better and won’t feel crap for christmas/social events/travel and so on. Actually a big part of me is thinking that. particlarly the bit that happily came home and crashed for an hour this afternoon.

There’s a lot of sick people in and out of work this week, just pushing themselves that extra day.

I’ll decide in the morning.

At least it smells nice

A run of bad luck before netball tonight

  1. My shampoo kinda exploded through my bag. At least that smells nice and it’s only soap, afterall
  2. I forgot my dodgy game/I might have them knocked off my face glasses. Fortunately I did not get hit in the face tonight. Unlike last game
  3. My hair band snapped just as I was tying my hair up (I had it out all day and got lots of compliments!) So had to dash across to superbarn to pick some up
  4. Forgot my water bottle. Picked up some bottled water when getting hair bands
  5. We lost netball

But I had fun, and we aren’t playing until a couple of weeks into January – with the humidity it was sweltering in the courts today.

I think I’ll go for a morning cardio session tomorrow, as I doubt I’ll get there tomorrow night, I think there’s a trip to the pub after work lined up for me. More food and alcohol – just what I need!

We have kangaroo sausages and salad for tea (aka ‘kanga bangers’). Low-fat and amusing all at once!

Despite not feeling up to it (completely emo and off), I felt that it was the best thing to do and threw myself into heading out into town last night. So after settling on wearing a short sparly silver dress because I felt just as good in that as anything else, and it IS christmas, afterall, we went into Garema place to start off. Started with dinner and drinks at Mama’s Trattoria (mm finished with a divine Tira Misu that was so rich I only work about halfway through before passing it on to Matt to finish), then Rish and I wandered off to find ourselves a place to boogie – Mooseheads it was.

My feet were killing me, so we had short bursts on the dancefloor, during which time I impressed and scared Rish with my knowledge of the lyrics to the latest pop and RnB that has been playing on channel V whileat the gym. In the time between dances, I sipped on my vodka and raspberries and started critiquing the crowd.

Blonde on Top, Black UnderneathAs in most nightclubs, there was a large number of girls in short tight black or white shorts, or cute little dresses. There was the pinned up fringe. And then there were the skunks. Skank (with an a) is a word often used in an Australian night club. But skunk it was tonight. Sporting the apparently in-fashion blach-blonde hair on top and brown-black underneath, there seemed like there were masses of girls wiht this colour, in differing lengths. the shorter ones were the worst. *shudders* “There’s another!”, I shreik and point out, oh so obvious. But seriously, they were nice looking girls (most of them anyway) but they’d done somethign terrible to their hair *cries*

(That photo is probably tamer than alot of the girls last night… like I said, the sorter it was, the more horrible it got!)

Music to Write By

December 13, 2007

So, I’m currently listening to the “Holiday Pop” channel at AccuHolidays Radio. Apparently, just by listening I’m helping charity, which is always an added incentive. OMG It’s No Doubt. *sets into writing her Chrissy cards* Pussycat Dolls!

The Start of the Cards

December 12, 2007

After spending time of Saturday night Wikipedia-ing Penguins trying to figure out if there was one from Argentina, I’ve recived my first Chrissy card, with a penguin on it. FromEva! Thanks! It’s even all sensory – felty and I can run my fingers along its blackness :) Admitedly, it wasn’t really the first card of [...]

The twenty600

December 10, 2007

After puzzling briefly over the title of the new free mag I picked up at the ANU Gym the other day (not quite sure how long it took me – but twenty600 would be Canberra’s postcode. Duh *slaps self*), I finally started reading it. With cover articles such as “The Politics of Porn”, how could [...]

A Dozen Roses (or 10, can't count)

December 9, 2007

Rish and I had a lovely anniversary… The day was a normal one – though I did show up at a school that was so calm, I was wondering if the students were actually there! and Drop-in clinic was super busy, but I came away from it with a smile. Feeling productive. Rish picked me [...]
