If you cant make out the writing, please click on the pic to enlarge. It is well worth it.






I have looked, but Australia doesn't seem to stock quality items like this. So, so sad. I may just have to purchase them from the States.

Who?

I just played tennis and kicked ass!

lame post? Yep, but you would post about it too, if you just played tennis like me!

Just call me Kimberlie Kournikova.

What every girl needs

As you may or may not know, i recently returned from a mini shopping/studying trip. I bought the usual girly things of clothes, underwear, books, etc BUT what i didnt expect to buy was a giant tea cup set. Yep. My own Alice in Wonderland cup and saucer which says 'Drink me'.


As soon as i saw it, i had to have it. Even though i would have to be extremely careful with it and would therefore make my life difficult as i would take it as carryon luggage, i bought it.

Oh, and the clincher? It's pink.

Here is my attempt of a self portrait with this wonderful, wonderful tea cup.

Is it wrong that i am this excited over a cup?

My world is in chaos..

1.Am back from trip
2.had an exam today
3.Still trying to wash and unpack. Not easy as it's raining. I am one of the few people who still dont own a dryer.
4. I have my brother, sister in law and nieces staying for a bit
5. Have to go to work tomorrow (first day back after holiday. Really dont want too)
6. my head hurts
7. Really dont want to go to work
8. Having trouble forming simple sentences.

Ok, enough of my winging.

Shit yeah!

I am offically on one weeks holiday! Well, it's a study/shopping holiday in the cold (and apparently rainy) city of Melbourne. Brett has to go their for a Uni subject, so i thought i would tag along. The downside though, is that i have an exam the day after i get back ;(

Oh well. At least i am not at work. I can't believe how burnt out i am. Basically, i want to head-butt everyone i work with (not a good look on reception)

On a lighter note, i have been sussing out my shopping options (thanks Karina!)
It turns out that i am only 548 meters from the direct factory outlets, or 11 minuntes on foot (if you want to be specific.....!)

Im sooo excited! My aim is to find some clothes that are not the generic pieces that i see on everybody in my town. Is it just me, or a small businesses being forced out of the equation??

So there you have it. I'm going to go shopping while Brett is slaving away at Uni.

p.s- Did i mention that the hotel not only has a gym, pool and sauna, BUT has its own beauty salon and spa? Bliss.

;)

Stu-Stu-stutter

I used to stutter. A fair bit. Well, alot and mainly in large groups.

I am sharing this for two reasons:

1. My niece has started to do it and

2. To show that even without any help, you can cease doing it.

I say 'cease' because I dont know how, why or when I stopped. It was kind of like one day, I just ran out of petrol, but instead of petrol, I ran out of stutter.

I certainly didnt stop from lack of trying. I tried for as long as I was afflicted and it never did change a damn thing. People used to try and help though, half heartedly. But what can you do really? Tell someone to take a deep breath? To 'sound' out the words? To not be nervous? To just not do it? I dont think so. And to the people who used to say those things to me? You think that I haven't already tried that?

Oh how I dreaded high school speeches. And the thing was, I would write a great speech, on paper it would get top marks, but after the 'presentation' the marks would dwindle. My friends were great though, they never made a big deal out of it, mainly because it rarely happended around them. It was more of a nervous, audience issue.

One thing I do remember and love though was one day I had a speech to give. It was year 9 English. The teacher would go through the class randomly and pick a name. This was pure hell. I could deal with alphabet order, my last name starts with a 'W' so i could relax for a while, but NO, not with random! But you know what, after working myself into such a state, the teacher never did call me up. I know he didnt forget, I think he was being nice. He knew I had done the work, he knew I understood the content (maybe better than others) but still, my name never did get called.

So when my niece stutters, I will never say anything 'helpful.' Instead I will read with her and never point it out, because she can't help it just like I couldn't.

My head hurts.

I have a migrain. I had this one for 2 days now. It's hormonal. It's crap. I feel like my head is going to explode, or, that i am going to vomit. Lovely. Every month.
Argh.

I heart Codiene!

Any suggestions? I'm running out of options and could possibly labelled a 'pharmacist'.

Hungover

Is it just me, or does anyone else like to do laundry when they are hungover?

Maybe it's the whole cleansing theme? Maybe i think that by cleansing the clothes I am also cleansing myself of the enemy?

Or maybe not.

Maybe I just like doing laundry.

Random

Here's a few little tidbits that may or not be tantilising

1. I do not 'hum' normal tunes in my head. They are always odd songs. For example, currently I have going 'On top of old smokey, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.' Is this even a song? Other favourites are Christmas carols, particularly 'Winter Wonderland' Or Kelly Clarkson. I dont even listen to her.

Go figure.

2. The nice people at Virgin Credit Cards have offered to increase my limit! That is so nice of them. Just in time for my trip to Melbourne..... ;)

Funny sidenote: It is signed 'Ace of Cards.' haha

3. I think I look good today. This is not to say that I normally dont look good, but I have taken special care and I think that it has paid off.

4. Brett has an interview for a job in Tasmania. Normally, i'd be hesitant about moving, but if it does get offered i'd be completely up for it. Why? I'm ready, thats why. Now, I know they have deadly jumping ants there but they are in the bush and we would be in the city, so thats OK with me.
