I have found a way to re-use the box that the soy cooking milk came in…
I recieved my gift recipient for the Brown Paper Package Exchange in my email this afternoon. Now I just need to stalk their blog (as I think I saw someone doing this afternoon from that link in my stats!) to try to think of a good pressie. Maybe something with an “Aussie Bush Christmas” theme? Think thongs and koalas, and santa in shorts, along with ANZAC biscuit treats. :p
(I won’t be sending you soy milk, don’t worry!)

One of those nights where you get home and suddenly it’s “change of plans”… ugh.
Anyway. It’s a good excuse to have a relaxing night, get my book finished (I’m reading “The hour I first believed” by Wally Lamb), and drink a heap of peppermint tea. I love peppermint tea :) Best herbal tea EVER!
:p
Full on weekend. Went to Newcastle for an engagement party, too many people packed into such a short time.
Question time: What’s the purpose of an engagement party?
I’m still gathering my thoughts on this one. Plus, what’s the “deal” with engagement presents? From what I saw on Saturday night, they seem to be the same as wedding presents. Only half the people will be also going to the wedding and will have to think of something else to buy in 12 months. And how to people go about choosing them, particularly as couples are often living together anyway if they’re getting married, and in some cases appear to have a fully stocked house already…
Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I just don’t ‘get’ a lot of the things to do with engagements, weddings and marriage in general.
Maybe.

So I’m resting up tonight – we have a friend coming to stay from Wed – Monday, so that’s going to be full on – Canberra, possibly the coast and/or the mountains. Fun fun fun. But I need to be healthy, hey? :D
