I am home sick with tonsilitis, the only good side to it is this time i actually recognised the symptoms and went to the doctor before they got all too pussy and infected, so with a little meds and rest i should be as good as new in a day or so. Well thats the plan at least!
Had a quiet weekend, after a great night scrapping at Sharons on Friday Maddie and I felt the need to continue on saturday, i finally got around to starting the calander that i bought last year, I compleated 6 of the months and i am pretty happy with them, the only hard part is trying to think of ways to make them all different!

Since i have some spare time the next day or two i think i will try and finish it off. That is if i get some more inspiration!

Watching the movie Licence to Wed, its so so, has robbin williams and mandy moore in it, it has its moments of being funny and moments of being annoying, i think my fav part so far is when the guy goes to pick up the wedding rings and they mistook his hand writing for the inscription, inscribing it as 'Never to Fart" instead of never to part, i think the first one isnt really that bad of a vow to put on the ring!

Finally watched all of season 2 of dexter, now i am just really sad that i have to wait for season 3 to be done so i can keep watching it. It is so so so cool, and the ending of the second season ... all i can say is .. WOW. Now i am desperate to get my hands on the books! Thanks to Jen I have found that i can order it online through angus and roberstons, and once i am paid tomorrow, it is so ordered!!!

I would just like to say ... I work with a pack of Bum Heads. And that is all that needs to be said about that.

Well ... not really all that should be said, but they are bum heads and i can't be bothered whinging about them. I have however applied for 2 jobs at the alfred, both kinda cool, one is a PA to the Head of Surgery, and the other is EA to the Director of Nursing. Spent ages doing up my resume last night, and then again at work this morning, i seriously hate doing resume and cover letters, hate it with a passion, im sure i have left out upteen things i really shoould have put in. But oh well, at least i stopped being lazy and applied!
I really want to sort out my job status so i can then plan my next holiday adventures properly. But then once that is sorted, then i have to work on sticking to a budget and saving!

It really feels like it should be a thursday today and not a wednesday, maybe because i just want it to be friday tommorow ...

Nothing much else exciting to report ... i did manage to loose 0.5 at WW on monday night, even with having a naughty week .. so that was ok. Got my 3rd 5 kg bookmark. Would be nice to have the next one by easter so i can eat 2 easter bunny eggs and not just stop at one!

Had a lovely weekend, my adorable yet extreamly cheeky neice had a sleep over with her aunty amy and gran. She was very very good even with having a bit of a cold! Although you would never think she had a good time considering as soon as we took her home she turned to us and waved and said goodbye, and when we laughed she waved again and said go away. Yes .. can you feel the love!

I bought her a little bike - similar to the one that i gave her for christmas except it doesnt have a trailor attached to it, it has a removable handle, so basically if they dont want to use their legs, you can walk and push them along. Well, the first time i put the handle on it she cracked it, kept hitting it and saying no, and this was before she even got on to use the bike! But she must have gotten used to the idea of it, as on sunday morning we rugged her up - as it was rather cold, and went for a walk along the street pushing the bike with the handle, she hoped on and off it, we were just going for a walk to see if she would ride the bike and to use up a bit of energy hoping she would have a sleep later, we get to the school, we go to turn around and i say, come on katie, lets go home, to which she shakes her arm at me and says no, so i ask her, where do you want to go katie, and she points to the school where the park is and says there. Seriously, with someone so cute and determined how could we say no. So we went to the park for a play.

Maddie returned on satruday morniing, its nice to have her back around!

Friday night after little miss went to bed i felt the urge to scrapbook, i think because i knew that i was missing out at Sharons, I managed to finish 2 pages. I was rather impressed as the last few times i have struggled to get anything done! Ok so one of the pages was just a finish of one i had planned last friday, im not sure if i like it or not, but the second one i did i was happy with.

The light is reflecting a little on it, but thats the best i could do while taking a pic with my phone!

The writing on it says, this girl ... has the bluest eyes, the curliest hair and the cheekiest smile ever seen! This girl is my Katie Lou!

WW tonight, i think i have put on, i say that every week, but, i was bad and had some milky way easter eggs during the week ... i couldnt help it! Oh well!

Whoo-hoo its the weekend!
Scrapping last night was fun, i think i only cursed only half as much as last fortnight, but i think i talked about my hot bum way too much for peoples liking. (Hmmm ... for clarification ... not hot bum as in damn i have a fine hot ass behind ... but .. hot as in, temperature.) Although, i didn't really get all that much done, time just seemed to get away from me. But i do have two in progress that i am rather happy about, one just needs to get a new clock bit for it, and the other, i just need to find some ribbon for it. I was all set to complete it this afternoon, but when i got home from shopping i had a better offer. Richie and Katie came over for the afternoon. After a very very cute dance routine to her favourite gran hifive dvd we decided to head to frankston to let her have a play and to buy her another hifive dvd to add to the rotation. Plus i wanted to get Dexter on dvd (which i am watching now). So no scrapping was done today, its still sitting on the kitchen table and each time i go out for a drink i see it and i get tempted to sit and scrap, but i know if i do i will just get frustrated because i have to find some ribbon to help finish it off. But im not complaining about the lack of scrapping, the cuddles and kisses and playing with katie is far better!
I bought a very cool pair of shoes today. I saw them last week in wittners and fell in love with them, so when i walked past the store today i decided to go in and try them on again to see if i love them still. Which i did, so i treated myself and bought them. Plus i bought a very cool new black skirt from myer, it was a bargain, 90 bucks down to 35, and another bonus its a good 2 sizes smaller, which is always a great thing! I had suffered all week long trying to find something to wear each day for work. Pretty much everything is too big now, things keep falling down, or it stays on but i feel kinda silly wearing it because it moves around way too much. So i figured a black skirt i can wear at least twice during the week with different tops. Tomorrow i am going to go through my wardrobe and sort out all the clothes that i have that are now too big for me. Work out if any of them mum can taken in for me so i can keep wearing them for awhile longer.
It feels so good being a saturday night and knowing that i have the next 2 days off work.
Bliss!

ten percent

Nothing too much to report, work is boring, cant decide what to do about my job, everyday depending on what time of the day it is can depend on what i want to do! Stay, leave, stay, leave ... if only i could win tattslotto and all my problems would be solved!

A little piece of exciting news, WeightWatchers last night, i made my 10% goal. Actually i went right over it, my 10% was 13.2, and i have now lost 14.4 kgs, and if you add on the 1.5 i lost in the week leading up to the first meeting, that puts me over 15 kgs lost! So i got a little key ring last night, so now only another 40 plus something until goal. I will be happy if i can loose another 15! or 18 excactly for the year! It can be done!

So thats about all really!

Short n sweet!

Will write more laters!

twice is nice.

2008-02-07T02:41:00.000-08:00

Omg what will happen .. i am blogging twice in one week!!

Just for Jo, i have finally updated the zach braff link so it will actually go to the zach braff page!

Feeling pretty good tonight, went to franga and had my eyebrows waxed, it had been so long, i reckon that if i were to go weigh myself i would be a kilo lighter due to less hair on my eyebrows!

One of the few purchases that i bought was a yoga mat, not that i intend to really do yoga, but i bought a weight watchers dvd, has a few diff kinda things on it to do, one of them is with a fit strip, which i own, but it invloves lunchs and going down on knees etc, and the floor is just a little bit too harsh on the ol body, so im excited that i now have a yoga mat so i can now use the dvd, which i actually plan to do on the weekend.

Dont have that much planned for the weekend, going and meeting a family on sat afternoon, she wants an occasional babysitter, has been chasing me for a year or so, i decided to go meet her and the kids, since i want to go overseas again i best save all the money i can! But it will be mainly an afternoon here and there on weekends, which suits me a lot more. It is really hard to drive home on a friday night or saturday night when your all sleepy and dead tired from waiting up all night doing nothing but watch tv. Its in narreewarren, so i think i will go to the scrapbook shop before hand and treat myself to a few things then head over to meet them, and thats about it for my plans.

So i have decided that i want to get my hair cut again and get it a little shorter, now that i have decided that i have to find a hairdresser to go to that doesnt look dodgy! or super expensive!

Well im feeling rather sleepy, so i am gonna head to bed. Thankgod tomorrow is Friday!

I am a slack slack blogger!
I have meant to update a few times since returning from Thailand, but then i was sick (excuse number 1) and then i went to Tassie (excuse number 2) and then i think i just got very slack (excuse number 3). But Since i have run out of excuses i decided that i better update before it gets to the 2 month mark.
Thailand was fantastic, but then everyone already knows this. I have so many great memories and photos from the holiday, and i am desperate to be able to go back, but not only go back, but go and visit somewhere else as well. I dont think a day has gone by since i have been back that i havent thought on some kind of memory from the holiday and instantly try and plan in my head when i can go back, ultimately this ends in the dream that i win tattslotto, quit my job and fly back next week. But alas no such luck. Mind you, i did win 28 bucks on tatts on the weekend, so i cant really complain, how about next week it is multiplied a few thousand times!
Work is well ... work. I am consistantly changing my mind with what i want to do, and how i want to do it, so i decided that while i feel so wishy washy with it all i wont do anything for a week or two and then see how i feel. Just kinda let things be for a little while, and then reasses how i feel about it. I have 3 months until then end of the term, so i have a little amount of time to play with.
Scrapbooking on friday night was fun, i managed to get a super huge awesome trolly case ( yes maybe a few too many adjectives to descrbe it, but, it really is just so cool!) It actually fits everything in it, plus it has room for more! However, i didnt even manage to finish a page, very slack! I actually think i did more complaining and cursing that any scrapbooking! I was just having one of those nights where what i wanted to do just wawsnt really working! But i do have to say that the page is looking pretty good now, i put some rub ons (as suggested to me from the master!) and it looks pretty damn good.
I was just looking at the calander to try and work out when to organise an ADO, im thinking that it will be either the 11th or the 18th of feb, but then i realised how close easter is, plus we have labour day on the 10th of March, so lots of time off in march! nice!
Not much else to update on, i have been whistfully looking at little weekend get-a-ways on the internet, some good specials on at the moment. I know i just came back from 2 holidays, but i always like to have something in the works!

I am a slack blogger, i have been meaning to update a few times in the last week or so and each time i just dont get to it. Even when i promised that i would update, i still didnt!

Weight loss is going really well, last week i lost 1.5kgs, and then tonight at weigh in i lost another 1.5, which i was a little shocked at, i thought maybe .5 or .8 that i would loose, mainly because i didnt really exercise much in the last week, so i was pretty rapt when i stood on the scales and the numbers went down. I now have 1.4 kgs to loose to get to my 10% When i first started weight watchers i wanted to try and loose the 10% before i went to thailand, and unless i have a really really bad week, then it looks like i may actually reach that goal!
The other good weight loss news i have had is clothes wise, over the last week or so i kinda noticed that most of the clothes i put on made me look like i was wearing a huge sack, skirts hang a bit too much, tops are huge, which is good, but i decided that i wanted to have a top or two and a skirt that fitted me well, and watch how long it takes for them to get to the too big stage on me. So on the weekend i bought a skirt, that was a size 20, fits really well, 3 months ago i would have bought the skirt 2 sizes bigger than that, and a i bought a top that was a size 22, once again 3 months ago i would have bought tops 2 sizes bigger than that. Then today i went to autograph because they were having a 50% off everything sale, i grabbed a about 8 items to try on in the change room, everything i took into the change room was a size too big, i had to go out and get the smaller sizes. It felt really good to be doing that, not having to go out and grab the bigger size in something.
Christmas is only a week away, which makes my holiday just over 2 weeks away. I had my needles last week, typhoid and hep A, thankfully i was paid that day because it cost me over 100 dollars to have them, i just have to tell myself that spending a hundred dollars on the shots is well worth it because getting ill will cost me a lot more than money!
Its actually a little scarey the whole trip thing, what if i dont like it? its the whole unkown kinda thing, sure ive been overseas before, but it was around 17 years ago, and samoa is a lot different to thailand! dont get me wrong, im really looking forward to going away, the experiences of it all, but there is still that part of me thats nervouse about it all, ive never done anything like this before.
Ive been very lucky and managed to see my beautiful neice 4 of the last 5 days, and i get to see her again tommorow night. Although today the poor little thing wasnt too well, but she was still very happy and cute. I absolutely love the smile i get when i walk in the door, it really is priceless!
I am nearly done with all my christmas shopping, well i think i am, i have one more part of a present that i have to get and then that should be me done, but i do have a feeling that i am forgetting someone!
I am now the Vice President of the Peter Mac Social Club. In all honesty i really have no idea what that means, what it is that i have to do, and what there is i can do. All i know is that if Anna the president leaves, then that means that i am the President, and i have even less of a clue what to do then! But for the next year i am the vice president ... shall keep you updated if and when i get to do anything!
Well, its 20 to ten so i think i am going to log off and go watch a movie in bed, drive me crazy is on at 10 on the movie channel, and yes i do have a nerdy streak and love my teenage romance movies, and drive me crazy is a pretty good one, it has melissa joan hart in it, who is she you may ask, well she is the star of sabrina the teenage which, and while i am admitting my super nerdy streak, yes i do like the that tv show, and i discovered today that you can get the first season on box set, do i want it ... ofcourse! I have no shame in my nerdyness!
Because i have not quoted in a while, and i think my blog has been missing it ... here is my scrubs quote:

When Dr. Kelso's face is burned by hot coffee, and he runs into JD in the hallway:
Kelso: Morning, Sport.
JD: [in his head] Oh my God, do not say "splotchy".
[out loud] Good splotchy, Dr. Splotchy!

I like to sing-a

2007-11-26T20:45:00.000-08:00

about the moon-a and the june-a and the spring-a

Well .. i would hate to be predictable, but once again i am at work and i am bored!

WW last night, lost 1 killo. I actually thought i may have put on because well, i did no exercise what so ever, had great plans of it, but actually didnt follow through on it at all! So i am at 8.9kgs lost with WW, and in total 10.4 lost all together. Plus as another bonus, i had my first moment of noticing that i had lost the weight on sunday. I bought a pair of 3/4 pants from big w a few months ago, at the time of buying them i couldnt get the size that i wanted, so i went for the smaller size, they fitted, but i really had to suck in to do the button up, i last wore them when i was in tassie in september, and hadnt worn them since ( mainly because they where at the bottom of the pile of clothes on my chair and since i cleaned up i can wear them again!) I put them on on sunday, and they are now loose, so loose in fact that i dont have to undo them to put them on or off and so loose that i have to keep hitching them up every now and then. So i now have 4.3 kgs to loose before 3rd of jan. It is very very doable. 13.2 is my 10%, and once i reach that i will focus on getting to the 20 kgs mark.
Kisschasy were really really good on saturday night, unfortunately the pub was filled with absolute bogans, oh and a horse!, but i managed to block out the bogans and have a good time. Im seriously in love with them, Hopefully they will play a few more shows at the start of next year.
There is only one more scrapbooking night on the books for the rest of the year, how on earth will i cope until the start of next term!?!?!
Plus it is exactly 4 weeks today until christmas. Mum and I have a deal for christmas, she buys the food and i am cooking it. However i somehow think that mum wont be able to just let me do it and she will no doubt end up helping, well, probably only end up helping on the things that she wants to eat! I am planning on making a gingerbread train, im rather excited about making it, going to make it look really cool, fill up the carriages with chocolates and lollies. Plus since it will be christmas day i will be able to eat some of it!!! yay!!! Weight watchers is not allowed on christmas!
I think that is about it really, Immy is getting a lot better, i had to take her to the vet yesterday as there was a spot on her leg that wasnt healing, and was just getting to be a big hole, but the vet pulled it together with a stich and it is looking really good now. She does however still have to wear a bucket around her head until the stitches are out, i actually think she will miss the collar, she is constantly licking at it and cleaning it!
50 minutes to kill until home time!

9 lives

2007-11-19T16:36:00.000-08:00

Immy has been very sad and sore the past few days, she keeps fighting the Tom cat that hangs around, she came in on sunday limping and not able to walk up the stairs, and then hid under mum and dads bed all day, poor little thing was not looking good, so mum took her to the vet where we thought that we may actually have to have her put down, but amazingly Immy still had 1 of her 9 lives left, she has a huge abcess on the inside of her leg which has burst, so she is at the vet being patched up and we can pick her up tonight, when i said good bye to her this morning i honestly thought it would be the last time, she really was not looking too good. We were hoping that we could have put it off to wednesday so richard could come over tonight and see her since it is his cat, but she was in so much pain this morning we had no other choice but to take her in, mum said that immy fought the vet so much while he tried to examine her that she new Immy would be ok, the scrawny lil thing still has a lot of life in her. Personally i think she will be around another 5 years or so because mum has said she wont get new carpets until the cats have gone, so therefor i think they will be around a long long time.
Finally got to have an ado yesterday, it had been a few months since i had one! Spent the day with Jen and Katie, katie ofcourse being ever so cute, the little things she does makes me laugh so much. I took a few really cute photos of her playing in the toy car at the shopping centre, im hoping that they print out well, i printed one at work on my colour printer and it looks good so hopefully they should print photo wise pretty good. I have some really cute car stickers sent to me from jo and emma and they would go really well with the photos for scrapbooking.
WW last night was good, we have a new leader and last night was her first night, she was good, i liked her, and thats kinda important, because if she annoyed me then i would be really inclined to skip the meetings. I lost 0.7 kgs, which i was really happy about, last week was a bit of a naughty week, had cheesecake, champagne, and mexican food, so to loose and not put on was good, plus i didnt really exercise last week, just did my 5 k walk. So this week back onto the exercising! Walk tommorow night, 5 k walk, thursday night a smaller walk, friday night is scrapbooking night so my night off, then i have to ride my bike over the weekend, i was slack last weekend and didnt ride, sunday i was way too exhausted from doing my room! And tonight, i will get home too late to do anything before tea with richie and katie, so i will do my exercises with my fit strip thing afterwards. I have 5.3 ks to loose before the end of the year and im determined to do it!
Exactly 5 weeks until Christmas. How exciting! Then it is 6 and a bit weeks until Thailand! I better get used to this hot weather!
I have a few other things to add to my 30 things list

Play a game of lawn bowls
Go to a bellly dance class (only after i loose the 35 kgs! and as long as i dont have to show my belly!)

All suggestions for my list are welcomed!

30 things before 30 update

2007-11-14T02:05:00.000-08:00

while walking with tahlia tonight, we had a few more good ideas for my list so im putting them up so i cant forget them!

travel overseas
loose 35 kgs
walk a 10 k walk event
play a full game of golf
stay a night at the casino and learn to play the tables
go to the snow
go see a taping of a live show - such as spicks and specs

as you can see i have a few more items to add to my list!

10 points of pleasure

2007-11-13T21:09:00.000-08:00

no, this isnt a dirty blog entry ... last night i had my piece of cheesecake and it was heaven. Jenny looked up the points value of it and for 110g it is 9 points, i refuse to ackolwedge anything more than 10 points for the piece i ate and if it was more i so dont want to know, all i can say, is it was worth every point!
Im not sure if i managed to get my 28 cuddles with katie, i kinda of stopped counting after 9 and focused on chasing her and cuddling her, plus i found a really good tickle spot on her that makes her giggle really hard. She was very very cute last night, if you every need a hyperactive child, just feed them cheesecake!
Im going for my 4.5 k walk tonight, so i think i will be a little sore tommorow!
My birthday was really good, had a lovely day followed by a lovely evening and i got lots and lots of presents = ) Although i now i have to sit and stare at a heep of presents that i cant open until christmas that jo and emma sent me. plus they dont make much noise when i rattle them, jo wraps things way too good!
work is pretty bleh, but i wont crap on about it.
The other day i got an email to say i had messages on aussie matchmaker.com i forgot that i was on there, went on months and months and months ago and wasnt really interested in it, so on the weekend i logged into see what messages i had, there where a few, one of them i sent a reply to, a few messages later added him to msn, been talking the past few nights on msn, and all i have to say is that he is a f'ing dropkick, and thats being nice! thankfully once i managed to get a word in i made an excuse to leave and blocked him. But all the other email messages i got from the other people i quickly deleted and didnt reply to because their message and their profile made them out to be the biggest tool on earth, maybe im way too harsh, maybe a girl single at the age of 28 isnt meant to have any standards. Im not looking for anyone or anything at the moment, im really content in my life and well, dont want a relationship until a few things have changed, but if something comes knocking then i wont knock it back, but seriously, i so aint opening the door let alone a doggy door to some of these knobs! ok once again a little harsh, but it shows, and not only through my experiences, but casie's too, if you dont want to be single then you need to loose your epxectations, and maybe all sense of sight. whatever one works the best!
5 more years! count down began today! knowing my luck i will meet someone 1 day before my 32nd birthday and my do it alone plan will go *poof*
So i have decided that i am going to make a check list of 30 things to do before i turn 30. Silly things, normal things, so when i turn 30, and if i am still single, living at home with the folks, ok ok, no if, should i say, WHEN i am ... i can look at my list of 30 things and focus on what i have achieved and not what i dont have.
so, to start here are a few to go on it

travel overseas
loose 35 kgs
walk a 10 K walk event

ok so the first one is already on its way! whoohoo!

time to start packing up to go home =)

old and mouldy

2007-11-12T15:51:00.001-08:00

ok, well im not the mouldy bit, but i certainly am old. Mind you, one of the Directors here at work thought i was only around 22, slightly delusional i think, and once she thought i was that young i was more than happy to be 28, because well i dont really like many 22 year olds out there because i think they are all immature and annoying, ok generalisation, but i definately want to be 28 over 22.
So now that i am 28 - this is what it means

i can now go to over 28 venues and be hit on my middleaged generally divorced men
i am no longer in my early twenties
i am halfway to being middle aged
i am exactly half my mothers age
If i lived in tasmania or south australia i would probably be a grandmother by now
If i had a child each year from my 18th birthday i would have 10 children and most likely not be able to walk any more either
10 years ago i was excited to be able to legally drink alcohol now i just look forward to drinking diet coke!
i should recieve a present for every year i was born (kinda like dudley style from harry potter) ok, i will settle for 28 hugs from my niece = )

I was really slack last week with exercising, i only went on one small walk, and one bike ride on sunday, i managed to ride around the block twice tho, so it is in an improvement, but, still didnt do much exercise, plus all weekend all i did was eat, i dont think there where many moments where i wasnt eating, i was just hungry the WHOLE time, i didnt go and eat anything bad or that i shouldnt eat, but i just over ate. Still i was happy at last nights weigh in, i actually thought i might have put on weight, i lost 0.8kgs. Which brings the total to 7.2kgs with WW meetings, and a total of 8.7 kgs lost in 6 weeks, with exactly 6 kgs to loose before Thailand which is 7 weeks away. So thats around 0.9 kgs per week. I am over halfway to my 10%. I just gotta get back on track from my over eating weekend! I am taking one positive away from the weekend, its that i never went and ate anything that i shouldnt. No chips, no chocolate no bad food. ( this is normally where i cave!)

Not much else to report, plus if i write too much today i wont have any news to tell Jenny tonight because she will cheat and come and read it all today! ;)

Will write more tommorow when i ham 1 year and 364 days off being firty thirty.

why i have been known to plunder

2007-10-31T19:42:00.000-07:00

I think i could get used to being an EA, although the crappy finishing times can be a little annoying, but considering the pay rise - late finishing times can be worth it! Plus its rather amusing to hear the comments from the CEO about certain matters and people, insider knowledge is always a good thing!

WW is going well, week 3 weigh in on monday night saw me loose 1.4kgs bringing it to a 3 week total of 5 kg. (if you count the week before i went to the first meeting i am standing at a total of 6.5 kgs lost) I wanted to loose a minimum of 1.4 at that weigh in because they recognise the first 5 kg mark as a milestone and you get a bookmark, so i knew i would have been dissapointed to weigh in around 1.1 or 1.2, if i had of gotten that close i probably would of kicked my shoes off and ask for a redo! So my goal is to try and loose another 8 kgs before Thailand, and i have exactly 2 months and 2 days to do so. That will put me at my 10% milestone.

I went for my walk with Tahlia last night, 4.5 k's. My legs are good today unlike last week, but my back is really sore, so i have booked in to a masage at work for later this afternoon, hopefully that eases it a little! but with time and more long walks hopefully it wont bother me! I have decided to do the Susan funrun/walk event. Its either 5 or 10 k walk or run. Dont think i am quite up to a 10 k event, but i know i could do a 5 k. Hopefully Tahlia will enter it with me, time goes by quicker when your talking! Its $38 to enter, but its to raise money for breast cancer, and you get your showbag and tshirt with each entry.

I dont have much planned for the weekend, i really want to have time to do some scrap booking, plus the movie accross the universe is out today, and i desperately want to go see it on the weekend, gotta love a musical kinda movie! Speaking of musicals, i want to whinge about why the are so damn expensive to go see, i wanted to go see pricilla, but no one wanted to go with me, i want to go see guys and dolls, once again, no one wants to spend the 100 plus dollars to see it, and now i want to go see Billy Elliot when it is out, and no doubt it will be over the hundred dollars for a ticket. Seriously, why are they so pricey?? More people would go if they were cheaper!

So enough with that whinge, on a very exciting note, the last season of scrubs has started showing, i watched the first episode the other night and it was very very funny, i think because they know that its the last season they arent holding back. I will be very very sad at the end of this season.

Dirty thirty count down - 2 years and 12 days.

let's hammock it up

2007-10-25T04:56:00.000-07:00

I am so so exhausted.

Last night i went to tahlia's and we walked from her place to edithvale road and back again, 4.5 kms in total, took an hour to do, but i woke up this morning and my legs ached so much, even my back a little, it killed when i walked up the stairs this morning at work, but i plan next week on wednesday to do the walk again, hopefully though when i wake i wont be so sore!

Work is ok, for the next two weeks i am executive assistant to the ceo, which will look really cool on my resume, means more work but also means more money, so its worth it! Well, i may not say that come this time next week, but today was my biggest worry i had exec committee that i had to attend and do the minutes for, which i thought was going to be really hard, i was led to believe that it would be really hard, but maybe i just zoned out too much through it all, but i didnt find it that hard, but then again, all i did was the short hand for the minutes, it might be a little harder come monday when i have to try and make something of the minutes!

I dont have much on for the weekend, i plan to go for a ride both days, i remembered to make a docs appointment today, so i have to go to the docs on saturday to organise my immunisations for thailand, i think that means a lot of needles! Maddie and i plan to have a buzz night saturday night, she leaves in 2 weeks, oh crap, that means my birthday is just over 2 weeks away, i so thought it was further away!

Its also 2 weeks until the 10 year high school reunion, which i so am not going to, i duck and hide from these people when i am at southland, as if i want to socialise with them on a friday night! Plus its at the edgey, i so didnt go there when i was 18, as if i want to go now!

Think i will head to bed, will be having a late one tommorow night with scrap booking!

thanks for the crotch update

2007-10-17T18:32:00.000-07:00

I so couldnt resist putting a scrubs quote as my titlle

Jo had kindly pointed out to me that my blog had been seriously lacking in the updating department, so i thought while i sit here not really wanting to do any work id look busy and update my blog!

This picture was in an email this morning, there were a few others, but this one, man i couldnt stop laughing for ages, and now i have that song in my head, so everytime i start to sing it i picture that cat dancing and i start to laugh all over again.

So onto my update

I officially joined weightwatchers, i had kinda been doing the online version, but, well, i decided to go to a meeting and join up, kinda be accountable each week, and it works, kinda in the back of my head that i have to go weigh in on monday nights, so for now its working, hopefully it continues to work. So far i have lost 2.9 kg in total, that was 1 kg for the week of dieting before WW and then in my first week on i lost 1.9. So im rather happy, my goal is to loose my 10% before i go to thailand, which will be a lot to do, but if i dont loose it i will be happy if i get close to it. Ive also started walking, im trying to walk a few times a week, and ive noticed now that it takes me less time to do my circut around the block, so thats good, and i notice i can keep the fast walk pace a lot longer, so after the weekend my aim is to extend the length that i walk, add in a few more streets and then go from there.
Also, ive decided to get a bike. Two reasons, one to help with getting fit, and secondly because there is a day of bike riding in thailand, and although i dont have to partake in it, i really want to, whats the point in going all the way there and then miss out on some of it. So i thought that if i got a bike i could start riding slowly and hopefully get used to riding without loosing the feeling in my ass!
I get to pick up my new bike on saturday, rather exciting, i put it on laybuy at kmart when there was a sale on, it looks like a pretty cool bike, i might not say that come sunday after i have had a ride on it, hopefully i can make it past the end of the street!
Works going ok, i have to do 2 weeks of EA to the CEO as of thursday next week, and as a part of that i have to do minutes for the executive committee, i so seriously hate doing minutes, hate it with a passion, so now i have to do minutes for the biggest and hardest committee, oh joy!
See this is why i dont update, i have such a boring life that it requires no update, everything remains the same!
Oh on a gross note, theres a heep of food from catering of a meeting this morning that was cancelled, so a few of the trays came out for people to eat and as usual they are put on my desk, one of the trays is little quiche things, one of them apparently has salmon in it, firstly yuk on the whole quiche thing and double yuk for the salmon!!! But all the food on my desk smells like mice wee, for 30 mins i kept smelling mice wee and couldnt work it out what it was, but then someone came and halped themselves to the food, pulled back the foil and the smell hit me again, How gross!!! So now when people eat all i can think is, your eating mice wee!
I know im a fussy eater, but seriously, you dont have to be fussy to be turned off food that smells like mice wee!
But speaking of food, i am really starving, thankfully lunch is only 20 mins away.
Not much other news, its now officially under a month untill i turn 28, and then its only a quick 2 years until i hit the dirty thirties. My birthday is on a tuesday too which is a sucky day, have to work as well, whoohoo! not, plus theres not really much that i want to do, ive been trying to think of things to do, but zippo, hopefully richie and jenny are free to come over for tea, just have tea at home and lots of cuddles and kisses with my niece, think that will be pretty cool. Maybe on the friday before or after go to the scrapbooking place on friday night and treat myself to a few things = ) then i just gotta think of something that i wanna do with cash, i just feel really boring with it all!
Jo, wanna come over for some birthday cake???? wanna come cook me a cheesecake?? or should i say, an oost cake?

so im off to go daydream like JD does from scrubs, fill in the last 10 mins before lunch time!

so so tired

2007-09-27T19:40:00.000-07:00

'im so tired my feet dont touch the ground' .... sing it to me joe

I didnt get much sleep last night, but it can all be forgiven because i had the best cuddles with kaitlyn when i woke up this morning.
We had katie stay the night last night, she was very cute as usual. Played lots, she had huge cuddles with immy where with help from her auntie amy she had immy sitting on her lap and everytime katie patted immy she would say 'gentle' ok so immy didnt enjoy it anywhere near as much as katie, and she did get one or two hard grabs, but i think all the kisses and gentle pats she got made up for it, plus she was purring so she enjoyed it slightly!
Katie just woke around 12.30, and then 2 more times until after 2.30, but each time she went right back to sleep after a quick cuddle, so she was really good, i think im just so tired because everytime i managed to go back to sleep i would get woken up again. So im kinda really tired, but i wont complain, the cuddle i got this morning made it all worth it. Plus i swear she said amy when i poked my head into her room when she woke, she may have said somthing else, but it sounded like amy and im sticking to it!
Not much planned for the weekend, just want to chill out and do some scrap booking on sunday. Had a huge week with being in tassie, so want a relaxed one this weekend. Saturday im going shopping with cas, want to print some of the photos that i took in tassie, there are some really cool photos and i cant wait to scrapbook some of them, actually i cant wait to go on a friday night to scrapbooking and buy some more stuff!!!
I had planned to write a whole lot more but im so so hungry so i need to go have some lunch! i cant think while im hungry!

so so bored

2007-09-13T22:17:00.001-07:00

well .. think the title says it all really, i am SO bored. It is 3.00 friday afternoon and i have absolutely nothing to do, i have done everything, i had a meeting at 1pm for an hour in which i had to do minutes for, but it only took me 15 minutes after the meeting to finish the minutes, and there is nothing else for me to do. Ok so i lie, there is one task that i can do, which is filing, but after spending all day wednesday in central reg cleaning out and rearranging the whole filling system, there is NO way i am touching any filing again for the rest of the week.
So i now have 2 hours to fill in pretending to look busy, because every person i have gone to so i can get some work from them has nothing for me to do.

Due to the lack of work to do i have decided to take another day of holidays next week, have wednesday off before we go to tassie. Would rather take an extra day than sit around at work not doing much! And there wont be much work to do next week because a few directors are going on leave, including the CEO.
So i will enjoy my wednesday off, ive asked if i can look after my beautiful niece, hopefully i can = ) I know i am about to go on holiday with her, but, theres going to be so many people around that will want to play with her etc, so i want to be selfish and have her to myself for a day!

Not much else is going on, casie is moving into her new appt tommorow, going to scrapbooking tonight, maddie is coming with us, its her birthday present. Im looking forward to going tonight = ) then sunday we have guests for a few days, who are staying until wednesday and then thursday its off to tassie. I know this is a rather odd statement, but i kinda not really looking forward to going to tassie. Im not entirely sure why that is, but yeah, i kinda dont want to go anymore.
Hopefully that passes before thursday.

time for scrubs.
instead of a quote, im going to list some inventions from scrubs that rock
knife wrench
drill fork
scrub shorts
floating head doctor
roof toilet
jiggly ball

frickedy frick frick

2007-09-09T01:39:00.000-07:00

dammit its sunday evening already and the weekend is nearly over. I even had a short week last week so i shouldnt really be complaining about having to go back to work tommorow ... but ... im still going to complain.
Weekend has been good, went shopping yesterday morning, put a couple of cotton polo shirts on layby for when i go to thailand. Went to the scrapbook shop in parkdale because i wanted to get a new ink, kinda of walked out of there spending a lot more money than i inteded too... i have a bad habit with doing that. Bought a few cool things, but the store is rather lacking compared to the one in pakenham. I did buy some really cool chipboard, little flourish thingys, they look rather cool.
Yesterday afternoon i went to a body shop party at tahlias, which i wasnt planning on buying anything at, but, i did order one thing. I tried the strawberry body butter, and it smells so so so good, plus it makes your skin feel really nice too, after a few hours of putting it on i could still smell the strawberry. Now i just have to wait two weeks until i get it, which is when i will be in tassie, so i will have to wait even longer now!
Went out this morning to the animal shelter in keysbourough with cas, she wanted to put a deposit on a dog there, was a cute little maltese dog, but since it hadnt been vet checked yet she couldnt do anything with him yet, but while we were waiting for one of the sales people to get back to us about him we were standing in front of his cage and the little dog next to him caught casie's attention, he is 12 months old and seemed so placid while all the other dogs where going nuts, we went into one of the holding yard things and casie bonded with him. He is very very cute, hopefully all goes well, and no body claims him and then cas can take home lil JD next tuesday.
So i did 3 pages of scrapbooking this weekend, two of them go together as a double, i attempted at trying to photograph them to put them up here, but, its rather dodgey in the photos of them, it didnt turn out the straitest, but you should get the idea!

Because of the pink it is a little hard to read .. it says "far too perfect to be an ogre!"

Ending on a scrubs'ism

Carla" Why is there a pancake in the silverware draw?"

Turk"I think you mean, why is there silverware in the pancake drawer!"

whoohoo friday

2007-09-06T23:29:00.000-07:00

i am so happy it is friday. So over this week, well, it started good on monday but then went downhill as the week progressed. Yesterday was the killer, i was once again told that i need to look like i am busy at work. Basically i am too relaxed, ahhhh maybe if you want me to look busier, how bout actually giving me more responsibilities and work to actually do instead of having to spend all my time pretending to be really busy. Its not like i dont ask for more work to do, but once i recieve a task i compleate it, i dont put things off. Which is actually rather funny, because with everything else in my life i put things off until the very last minute, i am so organised at work yet my bedroom is a bombsite because i consistantly put off putting things away or tidying up.
So work kinda annoyed me yesterday, but today hasnt been too bad. I think certain people got the hint that yesterday pissed me off to no end and they have been a little sucky today.
oh well.

Hopefully i will get some scrapbooking done this weekend, i am still itching to do a few pages. I was planning on spending all tommorow to do it, but i am now going to a Body Shop party at tahlia's in the afternoon. Different kind of party to go to, thank god its not a tupperwear party!
So the plan is to spend most of sunday doing scrapbooking and using all the papers that bought last week, so then hopefully next friday we go to pakenham and i have a good excuse to buy more = )

time for a scrubs quote ... this one from Elliot
"Its like being blind in one eye, only you'll be blind in both"

the turks are sneaky

2007-09-03T19:05:00.000-07:00

So i feel all stuffy today, its either a cold or hayfever, or maybe even a mix of both!

Weekend was good, although the only dissapointing part was that i didnt get to do any more scrapbooking. I was going to do it on sunday but then mum wanted to go see a movie so i did that instead. Before i left on friday night at scrapbooking i bought a few extra bits of paper and some really cute brads, and i am desperate to use them!

Yesterday was fun, I took Jen out for lunch for her birthday and katie got to have her first resteraunt meal = ) and a perfect first meal it was, ham and pineapple pizza, most of it did end up on the floor, but she did taste and eat a lot of it! She was still rather sooky from being sick, but even being sooky she is still very cute. I love how she copies everything you say or do, but then when i try to get her to say my name she just stares at me and says na.

Not much on for me this week, hairspray is out on thursday which i desperately want to go and see, hopefully i can try and talk someone into going and seeing it with me!

What else do i have to say .. hmm .. oh on a disgusting note, the creepy office max delivery guy seems to have a thing for me .. its tres creepy, but the worst part about it is that he has the WORST ever body ordor, seriously, it can be smelt from down the corridor before he comes along, and after he has been the smell just lingers. Anyone can sign for these packages that he brings, its just stationary, but he insists that it is me that signs, i tried hiding from him this morning, but nope, he wouldnt deliver the goods unless i signed for them. Seriously gross!

So 2 weeks and 2 days until the tassie trip, last time i checked it was like 6 weeks away!

title once again is my scrubs quote.

toe or finger

2007-08-28T22:53:00.000-07:00

Man i am so bored, there is consistantly a lot of down time in this job. Which well, sometimes its nice to have a bit of downtime, but its crap to have when you consistantly have to look busy. They are more worried about you looking busy than actually giving you some work to do.

So i have the exiting task to go fix the laminating machine, tres exciting right!?! Yes see that will make me look busy for a whole 5 minutes! I wouldnt have to fix it if it wasnt for some nuffy, Seriously, how hard is it to use a laminating machine? You put it in the plastic sheet thingy, and then you put the end to the machine and the machine does the rest!! but nope, aparently its way too hard for some petermac nuffy, and they have gone and got it all stuck inside the machine.

I so need a day off, thankfully i have one on monday. Yay! Get to go hang out with Jen and Katie, i am taking jen out for lunch on monday for her birthday so that should be fun = ) Katie was very cute last night, her talking on the mobile phone so makes me laugh. I love how vocal she is getting, and how affectionate, how more energetic her dancing is becoming! Its all just so cute!

I better go fix the laminator ... nuffys!

Oh and on a last note, my scrubs quote is my title! And .. i have entered a piece to scrapbooking memories. Always talk about it... never do it. And i did it!

Alley Cats

2007-08-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

How shocking .. my last post i didnt put a scrubs quote, i think i better do a double for this one!!

Man i am hot, hot as in temp wise, not paris hilton hot. Just went for a walk to collins place to get a card, have to organise an afternoon tea next thursday for someone who is going on mat leave, so hence i had to also get a card. Cards these days are seriously shit. I didnt want to get a sorry your leaving card, coz well .. shes not really leaving, and all the baby cards are pretty much girl/boy orientated, so it didnt leave me with much, all the other blank cards were, well, shit, i did manage to get a cute card, but it took 15 minutes of sorting through cards trying to find it. So it leads me to question, why is there so many crap cards out there! Do people ever really buy them?? What posses the card makers to print them?? And why on earth would i ever have a need to buy a card with the picture of a park bench with a crappy handbag on it.

so card racisim aside, onto my title, man im still giggling at half the stuff Jill said last night, she is just so wrong in so many ways, but you cant help but love her for it.

so another annoyance .. i know it is fathersday next weekend, so all the catalogues are advertising gifts for fathers day, but seriously, does it all need to be stuff for fathers day, i love my catalogues and i am having withdrawals this week because it ALL is fathers day stuff!

ok so 2 scrubs quotes that generally only i giggle at ...
JD: you fshizzle my nizzle

and

JD: so is your face
Elliot: that doesnt even make sense JD!
JD: So's ya face!
JD: Score!

E No More

2007-08-20T02:05:00.000-07:00

My E is no longer an EAN. He put up a struggle too, the bolts were all stripped, and they had to be drilled out, and then there were issues with trying to get the new ones on. My E wanted to remain EAN. And i dont blame him! Although the new plates do look rather pretty on him, its just a shame that they dont say EAN.

Home and away is on at the moment, mainly because i am way too lazy to get up and get the remote, and man is it bad, tonights big thing is illegal street racing, it was a tres bad acting moment!

So i was good tonight, i came home from work and went for a walk. Took maddies stop watch, walked for ten minutes and then turned around and walked back, beating my time by 45 seconds, ok, so 45 seconds doesnt sound like a lot, but your always more tired and slow on the length back, so that was good, and then tommorow when i go for a walk, i will try and get further than today within the 10 minutes.

So for most of today i have had a hifive song stuck in my head, i was singing and dancing with katie numerous times yesterday, so today whenever i found myself getting bored, i would end up singing the song and then it would get stuck!

mmm popcorn

2007-08-16T04:10:00.000-07:00

popcorn so rocks .. except for the constant need to pick out the popcorn bits inbetween your teeth .. but then still .. it rocks.
So i discovered last night on facebook, that, i kinda dont have anyone that i want to add to it, or to look up on it, i sat there for ages trying to think of a name to put in so i could look them up or to see if they are on it, and i couldnt think of anyone, and when i did think of someone i kinda didnt want to find them. Everyone is in the past for a reason, i know i say it as a joke with casie, but i wasnt friends with these people back then, im not about to all of a sudden like them now! Plus the people who used to be friends ... well they dropped off the friend radar for a reason. So i am just using facebook for amusement sakes only!
I am looking forward to the weekend, miss katie lou is having a sleepover, which will be fun, i can play with her, chase her around the house and watch some hi five with her. The rest of the weekend i am planning on bumming around, mainly because i am tres broke, but also because i want to just hang out, watch dvds and do some scrapbooking. I was considering going to the scrapbook store in mornington, but, since i am broke, im just going to wait until next friday night, i will have money then, plus, from some of the things that jen had i kinda just want to save my money so i can spend up at that store.
i really want to scrapbook some of my photos from live earth and thirstymerc, but, im not sure what to do with them, most of my stuff is all girly and flowery and stuff, and those pictures just kind of dont go in those themes .. so not sure what to do there.
so in tradition of my posts .. i shall end this with another scrub quote that only i seem to giggle over.
Janitor: [JD is at the reception desk, sad] Girl problems?
J.D.: How did you know?
Janitor: Well, you look like you've got problems, you're a girl. Hence, girl problems.

pay me to stay at home!

2007-08-14T03:52:00.000-07:00

So day 2 of the diet and so far so good ... and today was hard! It was linda's birthday yesterday at work, and at work they always get a cake for people, and the cake that i ordered for linda (because being the executive lacky i have to order them) was a chocolate mousse cake, and it was huge!!! There was half of it left, and it took up a whole shelf in the fridge!! Everyone was eating the leftovers around me, and i was good, i didnt fall into the just have a taste trap, i ignored it and just ate some of my pretzles that i brought in. So thats two good days of eating, now tommorow i have to make sure i do some kind of exercise.
Was dinner night tonight, katie as always was super cute, i had mum make spag bol for tea so katie could have some with us and get a taste for some meat, she made the biggest mess, i think she did everything with it apart from wear the bowl on her head, which by the way richard did tell her to do, but in amougnst the mess she did eat some of it, was the funniest thing ever to see her slurp up a piece of spag. I had lots of cuddles, she is coming for a sleepover on saturday so i will get to have lots more then too = )
4 months and 3 weeks until thailand, and 5 weeks until tassie. Im really looking forward to tassie, think its going to be a lot of fun.
Im getting the scrapbooking itch again, i saw Jens work yesterday, which by the way is fantastic, but talking about it and then discussing the friday scrapnight next week, it has made me want to scrapbook now, which the past two weekends i had planned to do some work but never got around to it, so now that i really want to do it, i probably wont get any time to do it! Well, at least not until next friday night. I need to work out how to take photos of some of my pages so i can submit some of them, my scanner is way too small, so that wont work, but anytime i try to photograph them i just get shadows on them from either myself or the camera. Its very annoying!
Oh well .. better get ready for work tommorow and then bed, i have to do minutes for three meetings tommorow, which is tres scarey! i havent done minutes in 4 going on 5 years at least, not since being in adelaide! So it will be a rude wake up call tommorow when i have to go to meetings i have no idea about and take minutes! Not only that, but three meetings!!! I am so not looking forward to it!!
And thanks for my first message Jen = )

i will end this on a great scrubs quote .. probably only one that i will giggle at .. but anyway ..
J.D.: [to the Janitor] You're an actor!
Janitor: You're a fireman! What are we doing?

i love ADO's

2007-08-13T01:57:00.000-07:00

I wish i constantly had ado's ... ok so basically i just wish i could get paid to not work and then i could shop and hang out all day long. So my ADO today was rather typical of my ado's, spent most of it hanging out with jen and katie. In the morning i did go and get my new drivers licence, man the photo is such an improvement on the last one, but really, there was only improvment to be made on the last one! While i was at vic roads however, i did something very tragic, i got new plates for my car. My car will no longer be known as EAN. Or more affectionate, E. He is now, UYH. Even the lady handing over the plates said to me, oh theres nothing much to be made from thhose letters ... so even though she ackowledge the crapness of them, she still gave them to me.

Katie was very cute today, but then again, she is always cute. I love it how she says "No", its in such a cute clear voice, so whenever you ask her anything she autmoatically says, "no", so i worked around it, and i asked, Katie, if you want a hug say no, so she says "no" so i get to hug her, it was very cute.

She has become a little poser as well, whenever i get my camera out she pulls faces at it.

Very cute faces non the less, but its funny watching her pose and pull a face. As shown here ... check out the hair too ... i kept blowing on her face which made it all go crazy like ... what was really cute though which cant be seen, is that she had a curl on the tip of her head, a long curl, and when she moved around it bounced up and down on top of her head.

So as of today, the diet has started, so far so good, came home and found that it was steak and chips for tea, but i was good, i had the steak, put 10 weight watchers chips on the oven and had put some vegies on. So now i just have to stick to being good, i have 4 . 5 months until thailand, and im determined to be slimmer before i go!

It was only a matter of time

2007-08-12T02:59:00.001-07:00

As the title says, it was only a matter of time until I started to blog .... Because let's face it I am slightly nerdy!

So I have exactly 13 hours left of owning a really really bad drivers licence photo, and I have been counting down the years and days until I was getting a new one, I know most people's drivers licence photos are bad, but seriously mine tops all bad photos. To start with I have a horrible Mohawk, secondly I look like I have been shot with a stun gun and thirdly did I mention the bad hair?!?!?

Driving home from tahlias tonight they had on the radio my future husband joining in on the top40 show, I think he was still high from the good stuff he got at the caravan park on Thursday night, I couldn't remember the number to ring into the station, otherwise I would have seized his off his head moment to ring in and ask him when we can make babies together.

OMG I am watching CSI, or as I always say CIS .. and JANITOR is on it!!! Oh im so excited, he is wearing the dorkiest hat! Ace!
