Blonde moments

We all do silly things AKA Blonde moments, so i thought i would share one of mine...

I dont mind checking out garage sales, so one day I checked the newspaper for the lists and started visiting the addresses. I went to a few, but couldnt see any movement. Zilch. Thinking they must have finished early, i went to check out some more addresses....

Turns out the newspaper i was using was last weeks.

Share?

Communication is key!

So, i have to study a subject that i dont like the sound of 'Communication & Culture'. It sounds a bit.. dull right??

Wrong.

I have read one page of my notes & have fallen in love. Well, maybe it's not quite love, but at least lust.

So there you have it. I think this means im a nerd?

Mystery

O where o where have thou side bars gone?

Kimberlie is sick.

When sick, Kimberlie watches 3rd Rock from the Sun re-runs.

And yes, Kimberlie refers to herself in the 3rd person when sick.

Not my idea

The other day my friend was telling me that she is going on a blind date... to the Mardi Gras. I cant help but think this is not the ideal situaiton to meet someone in a heterosexual, romantic manner.

Much? no.

Well. Not much has been happening. My week has consisted of the basics....

1. Work
2. Sleep
3. Playing virtual tennis on the Playstation 3 (i play as Venus, possum as Rodger)
4. Going to bed before 9:00 on most nights. Sad i know, but what am i to do?

I also booked tickets to Ross Noble . If you have seen him before-he's great isnt he?? If you haven't- you must! The funniest guy around (his hair just adds to the madness!)

BTW, possum bought me red roses yesterday for Valentine's day. We have been together for 5 yrs this May, so it's nice that he still thinks to do things like this.

To perk myself up, i am going to go shopping on the weekend. I am on the lookout for a tan bag, some folders and a book.

Wish me luck!

ok, my friend just rang me. She got engaged last night. So cute!

Rain.

It is raining. More. Still. Us Aussies are not used to rain- we are drought people! Don't get me wrong- the rain is great, but after about 2 consistent weeks, im starting to get a little pissed. Things are starting to flood, animals are drowning,
everything is always just a little damp, my hair does not stay straight and resembles something from the 80's & i dont have a clothes dryer.

Not that i'm complaining, im just saying... :)

And to top it off, today is my nieces birthday party. If only it would stop for a couple of hours.

BTW, i couldn't decide what to get her, so i got a bit of everything...

Input please

People, i need help! It's my niece's 8th birthday on Saturday and i have no idea what to get her. Though, i know what i am NOT getting her:

Clothes
Art supplies
Anything breakable
Toys

You would think this would makes things easier but it does not. She has EVERYTHING!

I was considering a little bag & purse set, but im not convinced. Is there anything else?

I want you to think back to when you we were eight- what did you most covert?

I really want..

this tea set, actually, i want the entire dinner set.



It is the Zandra Rhodes collection by Royal Albert. I won't list the price because i am trying to forget what i saw....!

I also want these two Cavallini & Co products. The bird print paper and the file folders




All of these products are available here

Music

Now, as you would have not noticed- i don't blog about music. I listen to it, but it's not something that i get obsessed with. HOWEVER, i am utterly obsessed with Angus & Julia Stone. They are an Aussie brother & sister duo.

You MUST check them out, which you can do here

Seriously, they are that good.

That is all.

Help....!

Friday night:

Drinking wine

On Facebook

Need i say anything else?

And i didn't even try...!

What i have learnt today

(before i start, there is no offence intended for overweight people or olives)

1. That overweight women have a harder time getting pregnant. This is because fat produces estrogen and estrogen is a natural type of contraception.

2. That investing in olives will generally not be overly 'fuitful'*. You should maybe try truffles.

3. To burn calories you should increase muscle. Muscle burns calories.

Hmmm. I think thats it.


* Yes, this pun was itended.

A quandry

Yesterday whilst walking through a bottle shop, i over heard part of a conversation between a young guy & girl. What the guy said has had me wondering all weekend:

'19 out of 20 people wouldn't do that'

DO WHAT????

I have had many thoughts running through my head, but, well, thats a BIG majority. What would 19 people object to?? What would 1, only 1, person do??

(also,is it kinky/freaky/dirty/disgusting or just plain wrong on every level?)

Thoughts please...?

Lip Balm/Burn

I just bought a lip balm. Actually, to be specific it's 'Finest Aromatic Lip Conditioning Treatment'. Sounds good right? Well, no. My lips are burning.

Oh the pain! It hurts soo bad!

Ok, maybe i'm exaggerating, but really- burning?

(At least it smells good...)

Heath Ledger RIP

The last couple of days all i have seen & heard about is the death of Heath. I very nearly cried last night becasue it is so sad. BUT when i thought about it, as tragic as this is, it happens all the time all over the world. I dont know how many people die everyday, but i just think there is something not right about the attention some people get over others. Is it because he managed to touch so many people through his work?

I hope i am explainging myself right.

I do realise that i am being somewhat of a hypocrite by writing a post about this (particulary Heath), but it's something i have been thinking about.

I found this photo after a search...

I love it and think it says alot about Heath's personality and the fact that even though he is in the limelight, he is not censored and tells it like it is.

A day for firsts!

Today i did something that i had never done before. Today i ........... complained about food, and not just to my friends, but the actual restaurant people!

Here's the story...

My friend & i go to a cafe/restaurant for lunch. I enquire about the vegie burger and am told that it's a vegie pattie on a roll with salad etc. Sounds good (and somewhat healthy) so I place my order.

Over half an hour later the food comes. Sitting in between my (burnt) roll was a tiny, deep fried, mass produced pattie on some (feral) lettuce. It was absolute crap! It was made of peas, corn & deb potatoe. I tried eat it, but could only digest about 2 bites.

Now i may or not be spolied, but vegie burgers where i come from are made on-site, out of more than 3 trypes of veges, & are NOT deep fried. Oh, and they also come with a side of taste!

I debated about complaining (I thought about it and wether or not i would serve it at home-no!), which made up my mind. She was ok about it, and gave back my money. I normally wouldn't have been that annoyed, BUT i did ask them about it and how it was served and never did they say 'deep fried crap'!

So what do you think? Was i in the right? Also, have you ever complained about food or sent it back??

Yes, of course i want an umbrella in my drink

I have been trying to sort out my first semester uni & as luck would have it, my classes do not have exams. This is great. Really bloody great because....hopefully within this period possum & I are going to go to.... HAWAII!

(insert happy dance here)

(Shit! Pulled a muscle in before mentioned dance)

Anyway. Does anyone have any special recommendations? We plan on going sometime in June and staying in Honolulu for about a week/ten days.

Ikea madness

So, yesterday was memorable! As well as going to Chatswood, we also made a detour to a shop i had only ever heard about......Ikea!

Im sure everyone else has been there before, but for me, I was an Ikea virgin. I had no idea of the rules, and the necessity of the mini pencil & paper (I learnt quickly though)

We made it out alive with some curtains and a coffee table (i also got a freebie headache from all the people, car fumes & crying babies- how nice!)

Here i am, ready to shop

Small things

Yay! I am going to go to 2 of my favourites shops on Saturday Peter Alexander and Kikki K at Chatswood Chase.

Oh, how i love that shopping centre. Adore maybe? We'll see...!

Well, that's basically all i have to post about today, and it is kind of exciting because i am making a 2hr trek to get there. I often shop with them online, but sometimes you just need to see & touch things. Understand? Good.

Have a great friday!
