I am not a nail biter,

but some of my nails have been bitten (although this is only occurs when the nail breaks-it's meant to be!)

I think there is a fine line betweem being a nail biter or not. This line involves the nail of the thumb. Biting of this nail=being a nail biter. Any other nail and it's just culling.


See? Perfect sense. Maybe.

FYI

I really like the word 'happenstance'. Such a great word for a chance happening or event.

Favourites?

False start..

We have been teased! (and not in a nice way)

This winter has been cold. Very cold, and about a week ago the temps jumped, the birds started singing etc. All of a sudden it was Spring! (AKA skirt/bare leg weather).

Now, i dont enter into this transgression lightly. I have to have a few warm days, and then and only then, will i start 'prepping'. All girls know of the prepping. Exfoliation, shave/waxing, and the all important fake tan. I immersed my self in this prep. I was buffing like no tomorrow, I had the fake tan regime sorted and was looking good. That is until.....

The winter weather came back. Yep with a vengence! It has dropped about 10 degrees and is peak winter weather. It has been raining and is windy and i now feel riduclous with tanned, hair free legs! AND none of my washing is drying.

Ok, now i feel better.

It's time for Trivia. Why? Becasue let's face it, there is ALWAYS time for trivia!

Did you know that sharks never get sick???

That babies are born with 300 bones, adults have 206?

That apples are 84% water?

That tigers have stiped skin, not just stiped fur?

Ok, so maybe i am procrastinating. Maybe i do have an assignment to do that i am finding way hard. But thats ok. I will cross that bridge when i come to it.

P.S I watched 'Wimbledon' over the weekend. Not bad. I love Hugh Grant in Notting Hill type of characters. Reminds me of Giles from Buffy. I love Giles from Buffy!

Big, big decision

Ok, so i know that i will be buying this top from Bird Motel, but what are your thoughts on the shoes? I'm not normally a shoe gal, and if i am, they are black. BUT, there is something i like about these ones. Is it the pinkness? Is the heel? Hmmmmm, i will have to think about it.....

Thoughts?

You probably dont need to know this but,

I can smell my dinner cooking. It smells awesome. We are having marinated beef and veges. There very nearly will be a pool of saliva at my feet if i dont get it into me soon. It just smells soooo good. Its marinated in garlic, red wine and tomato with herbs.

Brett & I arent big meat eaters, so when we do have it its bloody awesome! haha, bloody. Get it?? Meat. hahaha.

On a side note, watched The Breakfast Club this afternoon. Such a classic movie.

Ahhh. What a lovely end to a lovely day.

What are you having for dinner?

Pardon?

I never thought i would EVER hear this sentence (especially in a Linguistics class)....

'ok, lets put earthworms and hermaphradites aside'

go figure!

Suprised? Yes.

I am really enjoying my Creative Reading and Writing course. I know this may sound cliche, but it really helps you see things differently, and also the potential in the tiny things you let slide on by.

Take for instance, Haikus. I had never really given them much thought, but think they are great for letting of steam......

You shit me always
I want to poke your eyes out
BUT i will refrain.

You should definetly try it (i felt 100 times better)
;)

It feels so good!

I am sooo hung over. It's been a while so i dont feel tooo bad about it, especially since i had a great time and didnt even leave my house!

It came about because we had a dinner party last night. Six great people, some great food and LOTS of wine. As you may or may not know, i live in the wine making 'mecca' of Australia-The Hunter Valley. Because of this we not only have access to great wine (and get the locals discount) but many of our friends work in the industry and basically have wine coming out of their ass!

This mornings assessment found 12+ empty bottles, and an empty carton of beer...you get the picture.

I would seem that i even made some muffins! (not that i can recall that though....)

Hope you had a great weekend!

Love it!

Check this out!

this is pure brilliance!

I will post my own Haiku about Haikus shortly...

So.

So, I am back at Uni
Back to being busy and therefore....
Back at feeling like i am not having as much fun as i would like to be
Back to feeling bad becasue possum cooks dinner nearly every night
Back to feeling guilty about when i do things that arent Uni related

I think i wouldnt feel as bad/unsettled if i had even the slightest idea about what i want, or plan to do, after Uni.

But thats ok. I guess there are worse things to be suffereing from. After all, it is my choice to attend. Despite what i say, i do enjoy it. I just wish i had a plan.

Im going to .....

Thailand! Yay! A group of 5 of us are going in October for a fun filled week. I haven't really been out of Australia (well, i have been on a cruise around Numea etc but i dont really count that as it wasn't by plane)

I can't wait! (insert excited dance here)

Any tips or suggestions? I heard that you can ride on Elephants so that will be task number 1. Other than that? Shopping, oh and the hotel has a swim up bar. Bliss.

An update...

I thought i would update you on my most unusual puchase, the..... Apple cosie! And yes, i really do use it. It looks good on my desk and makes for very interesting conversations. Actually, you might say that by purchasing said apple adornment, i have contributed to social interaction. Or not.

Either way, the cosie was an investment in the future of the health of my apples, and therefore my health and contentment. Im sure you agree that these are VERY important issues in today's society. So there.

I really dont think that i can resist this....

pouch!



you can get it here


It's cute and, well, i love words. What more needs to be said?

oh yes, one more thing.... I *heart* etsy! Corker, I blame you!

I am loving...

Secret Wish perfume by Anna Sui.

Now, i am not a perfume freak, i have a few bottles (although the majority come from the friendly ladies at Avon!), BUT i am very particular about the scents. I love fresh, fruit and floral. I HATE musk. Always have, always will.

So you can imagine my *glee* when i came across this little beauty! It's soooo nice!

What are your favourites?

What can you buy for $1.86?

A long sleeve, button up shirt for work of course! Yes, today i got the bargain of all bargains. A work shirt for $1.86. No kidding. Marked down from $30.00. This is great because i LOATHE spending money on clothes for work. And lets face it, you will always wear a white button up shirt.

Any you know what else? You cant even buy a coke these days for that price. Name one thing that you have bought for $1.86? NOTHING!

The bad side of this (yes, there is a bad side) is that all the other sale items just didnt seem like they were on sale 'enough.' I walked past half price pants and thought'i know that they can go lower'. I very nearly started to shout 'Show me the money!!'

Side note: Buggar the $2 shop, im going to open the $1.86 shop. Ha! i will be the competition!

To buy or not to buy...

Do i need this bag? Hang on, let me rephrase that: How much do i want this bag? I am having a run on deers lately.... AND it's quite roomy so it could easily be used for Uni...ahhh such decisions! Help!

I bought a new scarf...

see? Isn't it preeeetttyyy? You can get one at here

I have been tagged.....

by Lucy-Jane to list 7 things about myself. In my classic style, i am putting way too much thought into this. Lets keep it shall we? BTW, sorry for mixing pronouns (see #5)

1. I have many eye/sleep masks, but do not use them. I think i must be collecting them subconsciously. Or, i was until now. :)

2. I have many, many bags. Approx 30*

3. I must have nice looking toe nails. My fingers nails can look like crap and i do not care, but have a chipped toe nail? Not on. It must be fixed pronto.

4. Some of my pets have died wierd pet-deaths that i thought only ever happended to humans including Cancer, Aids, and one time the hair just fell out of my mouse. I think I bathed him too much (or maybe it was the blow-dry afterwards?)

5. I am obsessed with correct grammer and punctuation, but not in regard to myself.

6. I actually believed my parents when the told me that my dog 'went to a farm'. Really. I was 21 when i realised the truth, which was prompted by a 'Friends' episode where Ross believed it too. Monica had to tell him the truth. We were both devastated. Still are.

7. I love The Carpenters. I understand if you do not know who they are.

*=this figure does not include purses. They are a whole new kettle of fish.
