Sunday, 8:46am - Boxing Day

Two families down and one to go for Christmas, and this time tomorrow I'll be boarding a plane to New Zealand with my mumma.


This time tomorrow, I will also be wondering why we thought such an early flight was a good idea when you have to be at the airport three hours before boarding.


So, yeah, guess who's going to be up at like 4am tomorrow? This girl, and her mother. I'm currently trying to decide if we get up really early or we just don't go to sleep until we're on the plane.


So, in light of this, and my doubt that I'll be able to log in very frequently, happy new year everyone, don't forget to pash a stranger at midnight.

Saturday, 2:17pm

So, its Saturday, what are you doing tonight?

Me? I'm going to this with Sarah.

Tuesday 11:24pm

So. It turns out my step-grandma has cancer.

Um. Yeah.

Tuesday 9:47pm

Brace yourself, I'm going to say something I haven't said in a while.



Today was a good day.


Now collect yourselves back off the floor where you've collapsed in shock.



I got first drafts of five out of the 32 emails I have to write done. They were no where near as difficult or as time consuming as I was anticipating.



My main account manager is out on location for a client today and tomorrow so all her little dramy-dramas can suck it cos they're not my problem :)



I got to have Burgerfuel for dinner, and picked up a free sticker at the counter. I dunno why but I'm pretty infatuated with that place.


I got the slave rings for my dermals put onnnnnn. One of them is crooked (it has spun 90o some how) so Rob man-handled me a little bit so one is pissed off but whatever floating rings on my chessstttttt!!


Saw the PolyArt Restriction exhibit and it was really cool! I even ran into Graham and Tess there as Tess has a friend with works on display. I liked some of them but this lot were all way out of my price range!



So all in all, a pretty tops day :) All I need now is for this humidity to fuck off so I don't look like I'm melting and leave arse sweat all over everything and I'll be peachy.

Monday 7:00pm

Devastated.

Nut loaf was a pile o' failure. Looks more like two trays of apple crumble crumble topping.

Hopes and dreams crushed. Not to mention a fair chunk of money that could have been spent elsewhere.

Oh well, drowning my domestic incapabilities in Jelly Belly jelly beans.

Failure has never been so delicious.



I have so much work to do, but really, where is the fun in writing 34 emails over seven corporate topics? Finance strategy, marketing planning, web analytics, shit I'M not even sure what it means? Too grown up for me. They're only due on the 15th. N, I'm twitching nervously. Not. At. All.

Take my advice, never volunteer for anything.

I would take my own advice except that I'd probably get volunteered to do it anyway, so why fight it.


Crap.Eee.Ola.



Do you know The Blackout? I saw them with Lostprophets earlier in the year but only got to downloading their cds a few weeks ago. Been pretty much on constant repeat daily since. Reminds me of being in high school. Y'know, when I used to actually get excited by stuff as opposed to the jaded, old lady I am now. Makes me smiliessssss. But you'll probably hate it.

Sunday 1:53pm

Howdy!


What a busy weekend - babysitting the cutest little girl I know Friday night, hangs with the babe's family Saturday day, Korn with my brother last night, then domestic goddessness today.


Okay, 'goddess' might be a stretch, but that's the aim for today. Gotta aim high, right? I've been up for an hour and done two loads of laundry, showered, washed my hair, and done a few of those "it only takes five minutes to do but they never seem to get done" jobs (which always feel the most rewarding aye, because once they're done, you can forget about them until someone makes the next move).


Now I have to get my shit together and buy ingredients for lunches next weekend. Saturday I'm hosting my girls' Secret Santa get together and, of course, Sunday is the Sydney BME End of Year BBQ, and I'm hoping to cheat and make a couple of lots all at once to freeze and use for each event, but I'm not a confident cook so I'm going to do a test run tonight.


I'm going to attempt this vegan cashew nut roast thing which I stumbled across which looks easy enough and they actually provide the measurements in cups not just ounces. Using almond though, cashews are a bit of a luxury!


All righty, gotta get shuffling, Korn was amazing, but being up to 2am two nights in a row has robbed some daylight from me and if I do not get these groceries then today is shot and I'll give up. Mmmm sleeping.


Anyways, hoo-roo!
