31 Photos in 31 Days (Day 13) My Soul

31 Photos in 31 Days (Day 3) Waiting for Coffee

Sitting in Lava Espresso Bar waiting for my soy latte before walking up to work. Groups started today, so I needed that caffeine hit to keep me bubbling along through the parent sessions. Try talking about kids overusing “like” or “um” and then listen to how much you do it yourself!

31 Photos in 31 Days (Day 2) Bootcamp!

Got up not so bright and early this morning for my first session of bootcamp! I figured I might as well do the Monday morning, it’d have to set me in good stead for the rest of the week, right? It went well – with only 2 of us in the “class”… there might be a couple more next week, but it’s quite close to personal training at the moment… I’m going to be sore tomorrow! (I’m so unco!)

I’m currently in at uni looking for a few resources for the upcoming semester and the project I’m hoping to complete… Still, I’m looking forward to heading home to see Rish and have leftover sweet and sour! :)

31 Photos in 31 Days (Day 1) Shoes!

Okay, time for the foot and shoe fetishists to come out of the lurker-woods for August. I’m participating in 31 photos in 31 days and I’ve decided that each day I’ll share my footwear for that day. Be it my uggies, work shoes, runners or my tokidoki rain boots, you’ll get to share in the joy. And you’ll get to see more of my tights collection! If that’s not for you, go to the project page and you might find something more your style ;)

These shoes I bought in Cologne for 9.99 Euro. Nice comfy flats with a cute little bow that work for work or weekends. A cold, wet day standing in the carpark of a Westfield, with jeans that were about to have the hems wetted ;)

Finishing Touches

Finally got around to doing my tax yesterday – after hitting the shops and buying three pairs of summer sandals and thinking I needed to pay for them somehow!

I also got a cute little parcel from Jen @ Red Instead…

Looking forward to the Christmas Handmade Markets on Nov 21 (yes, Jen’s stall will be there, I believe!)… will get all my Xmas shopping done there – though I might not have the car that day, we’ll see if I’m up for the 6km walk (take a backpack!)

She wore red shoes

Had a job interview today, applying for one of the new positions (at a higher level than I am now) promised to us in the May budget. Yes, they pushed it through fast – it’s not even passed as a bill yet!

Like my shoes? They’re redder in real life. If I get the job, I’ll thank it on wearing awesome shoes (and being generally awesome myself)…

and buy some more to celebrate?

Tokidoki!

I now own these boots.

Life is good :)

Evactuation? But it’s my day off!

All I wanted to do was to get a cheap hair cut from Just Cuts, so went on down to Westfield at Woden this morning to do that… but nooooooo… we had to be evacuated (4th time for me in 2 weeks) due to a fire in a candle store (Dusk). At least there were fire men?

I did move on after that… haven’t had a hair cut, but am sitting here with red purple dye on my head, hair, shoulders… and had it on my nose. And I managed to buy shoes… and lingerie… in my size :) I was aiming for w new white bra, but I came home with a blue and a green… Sometimes it just goes like that *grins*

Sale Shopped

I have some awesomely cheeky new lingerie – little white sailor bra and undies. There’s a little anchor on the front. No, no action shots (unless you ask nicely and privately ;) or bribe me with chocolate *giggles*) These would have really been good for the party the other week.

And I have yet another bra size in my collection. Now have a 14B. This cup is definately small, so is probably a true 14A. Glad I tried it on though. Sizing is useless. Tried on a corset too… fit nicely, but my breasts kinda disappeared into it… So, no luck on that front today.

Started to look for new runners… nothing that was on special grabbed me (or were in my size) , so I’ll probably head to Woden tomorrow to look at the stores there. I’m happy to not buy on sale, but if there’s something half price just because it’s last season’s colours, I don’t think it matters too much for running in!

I did the 14 minutes I promised Rish I’d do yesterday. Nothing today, but did other machines at the gym, but he promises me we’ll run around the lake tomorrow, and he’ll push me, I can count on it!

Right now I’m trying to decide if I can be bothered dying my hair. I have inch-long roots, which became apparent because I finally washed my hair. It’s hard to bring myself to do that at 3 degrees!

Shoes!

Okay, so after about 3 hours wandering aroudn the Canberra Centre and Woden, I’ve come home with two suitable pairs of shoes:

This little pair from Chinese Laundry which I got at David Jones Woden on sale. There’s sparlkies on the ankle there and on the crossover at the toes.

Then there was a pair from Betts at the Canberra Centre. I can’t find a picture online, so I’ll have to talk you through them. The brand is Sandra Miller. They’re also black with a wrap-around annkle strap. simpler crossover (just 2 bands) at the front, with smaller diamontes. Here’s the bit I’m not sure of – the heel is a metallic silver. The shoes are hot, I’ll have have to see if they work with the dress!

SO, I now have two new pairs of shoes. If the ones with the silver heels work with the dress, I’m wearing them – if not they’ll be hitting the Mooseheads dancefloor sometime in the not too distant future ;)

Note to self – when booking waxings, also organise a pedicure. Feet are gross!

Okay. Need to wind down and start settling for bed – a long drive tomorrow!
