Life.

So it's getting a bit confusing lots of crapola going alone but I decided I've been too negative and I only want to post stuff that makes me smile. I'm just lacking it at the current time.

I booked flights to Thailand on Thursday FINALLY after going back and forth from the travel agent at least four times. But never mind, it's done already. $968 fully charged to my CC which I will have to pay off, on top as saving spending money in the NEXT NINE WEEKS before I jet set my way to London.

Last night was actually kind of fun. Kristy worked until kind of late but then we went over to a friends house got relatively crunk and I possibly lost 3 demerit points and a few hundred dollars because 6cm or so was still in the itnersection of Doncaster and Williamsons road. Oh well, shit happens. They had the most adorable little kittens Skittles and Ishka! They like to climb onto the plasma and get stuck there. It was funny for the first 5 minutes until I realised they actually couldn't get down and they started shaking and kitty-style-crying.

More later. Glass half empty moment.

Pink Sparkly Cup.

So I decided that when everything fell apart and I was essentially glass half empty, that I would get a new cup and fill it allll the wayyy to the top. It's pink, sparkly and had a bendy straw. Yeah.

So far, my cup is full of friends and work. At least they're a distraction. This week I actually spent some time by myself unlike last week where I pretty much got home from work, changed my clothes and left again. It was actually a really exhausting week mentally and physically.

The week in dot points.
Pros:
I'm not hating being single and I'm actually enjoying my own company.
I've made new friends.
No boys. Ever. Well, for a while.
Europe in 2.5 months and Thailand in 6 months!

Cons:
I actually really dislike being alone.
Everyone is starting to get that pre winter flu and I'm clinging to the hope that I'm not going to for dear life as I need to work. Need to. Not only for the money but a distraction.

Anywho, I'm going to get noodlebox and then go to a friends apartment in Hawthorn, will report back with messy fun details.

Funeral.

Yesterday I went to the funeral. I'm not using any names cause they asked me not to if I blogged about it.

The service was actually amazing, even thought I couldn't keep up with all the religious aspects of it but hey, I'll blame my mum for that one. There were a lot more people there than any other funeral I've been to. People from her place of work, her kids football/cricket/basketball teams, school friends EVERYONE. People had to stand because they filled out the massive church.

I think that watching her kids eulogies was the hardest part of not only the funeral but possibly the last decade of my life. They were all so sad and mad and I couldn't help it I just cried and cried and cried and then cried some more the entire way though them. The youngest went first which is my sisters significant other. He mostly reminisced about all the things his mum used to go for him. He told a story about how he was trying to make a photo frame with an imagine of the two of them in it in prep and he just couldn't do it. After he tried and tried he got upset and the school had to call his mum to come up and calm him down. She was there in about 5 minutes. He laughed about how he would text her to ask what was for dinner and she would text back "food". Or when he would be going up to maccas and ask if she wanted anything and she would just say "no thanks, i'll just have some of yours.". Second youngest went next, he didn't cope so well. He brought in a magnet with his mums name on it. The kind that have where the name originated, and its meaning. He relayed to everyone who had attended how that applied to his mum and tried to use examples to prove it but he didn't cope so well and broke down a bit. Well, a lot really. The only daughter went next. Her eulogy kind of took everyone by surprise. She read out a letter she had written to her mum the day after she died. It started off saying how mad she was at her and ended with her saying she would try to remember the good things about her but that right now, it was a bit difficult. The last eulogy, delivered by her eldest son was all too much for me and I can't actually remember what was said now.

The whole day just sucked. If I could have taken away what they were feeling even if it meant I had to feel it myself I would have. They didn't deserve this. None of it. They are such good kids, the best I've ever met.

R.I.P

Rest In Peace

So yesterday my sisters boyfriends mother committed suicide. In the backyard, in the middle of the day. With people home.

Her 18 year old son walked out into the yard and found her hanging from a tree.

I don't know whether to be mad, or just sad. So I'm a bit of both and I swap between the two every hour. It's like a roller coaster, my own personal amusement park.

I'm usually pretty good at finding the good amongst all the bad and trying to remain positive but I can't find any at the moment. It just doesn't exist.

Help.

Keeping busy.

I've been trying to keep busy which is all fine and dandy up until now.

I don't want to spend too much time alone because otherwise I get cranky and sad about significant other and I being on "pause" while he sorts his shit out. I'm not a bad girlfriend not wanting to help, his issues just hit too close to home for me to actually be of any help.

Friday night I had a yummy birthday dinner which was kind of awkward because I forgot her Christmas present (probably because Christmas was soo long ago now that I don't really think about it anymore). So, basically it was her birthday dinner but I got a present. Loverly T2 tea set which is going to apparently help me sleep which is fantastic because I am not used to sleeping by myself :(

Today I went to the travel agent to book my ticket to Thailand, except that the travel agent was closed when we got there. D'uh. Now we have to go back next Saturday because out of all 5 days during the week there is actually not at time all three of us are available to go. So instead we went to Gloria Jeans and got icy cold drinks to have in the sun. It was actually really nice outside, maybe even a touch too hot. Then I came home with all this excitement because I was going to re visit my childhood and go to Luna Park but alas, my stomach started feeling queasy and then I was sick :(
There goes my Tim Tam chiller.

No fun for me tonight it looks like. So now I shall sit here and try to keep my glass half full instead of empty.

Currently waiting for my cup cakes to cool down so I can ice them :)

(ALMOST) FREE!

TRIP TO THAILAND!

My friend and I decided we would go to Thailand for our 21st given that they are about 2 months apart and neither of us wanted a party where, essentially we paid for other people to get crunk. So- we decided Thailand. Cheap enough for friends to come if they wanted and for us to afford also as we're headed to Europe in June.

Said friend invited a girl who turns around and says "My boyfriend and I booked a trip to Thailand in October but we've broken up and I'm going to give his ticket away- would you like to come?"
Um, fuck yes we would.

Said couple has already paid for the accommodation and two return tickets and despite us being pushy wanted to contribution to this what so ever so we're going to purchase her a nice present (IDEAS, ANYONE?!) instead. All friend and I have to purchase for this trip is a third ticket which we are splitting the cost of. I checked quickly and they seem to be about $500-ish. Really, this trip is costing us $250 each + spending money which will be easily saved. I'm not planning on spending that much money there aside from day trips and yummy food because I'm not overly interested in the shopping there. Yeah, the DVD's are great but I'm a believer of $3 clothes are worth all the $3 you pay. They won't last so I'm going to be spending my hard earned pennies playing with monkeys, tigers, elephant rides and massages. Alcohol too on second thought.

There's going to be a full moon party while we're there too! Soo excited to go to Phi Phi Island where The Beach (think Leo Dicaprio) was filmed.

I'm staying at the Graceland Resort and it's apparently really nice from all things I've heard :)

Freedom.

Who needs a boyfriend anyway.






me :(

Boost.

Today, I had to go into work for two hours while Boss man went to a meeting, anyway afterwards I stopped at Boost Juice to get a STRAWBERRY SQUEEZE (this is the only drink I've ever actually ordered- no I'm not joking). But, the catch was, I only ordered a mini one because I wasn't very hungry but the blonde guy working gave me a GIGANTIC one. It made my day. You know, the little things in life and all that...

We shall call him Blonde Boost Boy.

Loss of car.

This happened last Sunday actually, I just never got around to posting about it.

I lost my car at the shopping center. Well, actually, I don't think lost is exactly the correct work. I knew where it was, but I was locked outside of the shopping center as I was at a restaurant on the outside, but my car was technically still in center parking. So, I had to walk all the way around the shopping center, and then up roughly 6 ramps which you would usually drive up, all to get to my little broom.

It took almost 40 minutes, had the center been open, it would have taken not even 5.

FML moment.

Post surgery entertainment, or lack of.

So, last Tuesday I had my face sliced open. It was supposed to be simple and just a small ish cut on the right side of my lower gums and just remove the plate but, turns out the plate was actually fused with bone over it so now I'm sitting at home, with a fatty fatty swollen face and chunks of my jaw bone missing. I was also supposed to be working again by now but I can't until next Tuesday. Hello bankruptcy.

So far, to keep myself amused the boy has come over and watched some television with me, but the painkillers I'm taking are so strong that I can hardly stay awake for 2 hours in a row. I'm getting better though- trying not to take them as frequently but it just hurts so damn much.

I'm also starting to get some of the feeling back in my face which is slightly uncomfortable because it's all tingly/itchy like when local anesthetic starts to wear off and it's not the most comfortable feeling. Oh well, I'm tough :)

I've watched the entire season four of Ghost Whisperer which honestly was a let down, I had high expectations but it definitely wasn't my favorite. So now that that's all done with I've moved onto season one of How I Met Your Mother. Good quality. I love this show, even if it is making my mouth bleed when I laugh too hard at it. Glee is next, not sure I'll be a fan but I'm running out of new material to watch. I don't remember the last time I had nothing to do with an entire week except watch shows on T.V.

You can spend minutes, hour, days, weeks or even months over analysing the situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could have or would've happened- or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on. 


I'm trying but it's just so goddamn difficult.

Changes.

Great people talk about ideas.

Average people talk about things.

Small people talk about other people.

I know way too many people, who talk about other people. This needs to change.

Surgery.

Way back in '05 I had my jaw broken. Surgically broken, not being punched in the face by a mortal enemy kind of broken. Now, as if just to annoy me, my jaw has been doing funny things since about September '10. By the way, I am actually completely aware it is almost the end of February '11 and it has taken me THIS long to make an appointment with the specialist. I went today and lo and behold they are going to slice my poor gums open, for not a first, not a second, but a third time to remove the plates and screws that basically held my jaw together while it was healing in '05.

This is happening on Tuesday the 1st and I'm super scared. Please help. Someone come watch movies with me at the least.

Wish me luck.

Twenty One

So, on Saturday night I went to my friends 21st. Actually, it was a rather great night. I saw a lot of people that I had forgotten about and that I did genuinely like while I was at school. They never really had that 'high school' agenda involving gossip and so on and so forth. It began at his house which it turns out, is conveniently close to my house. Then the strangest of things happened, our lift bailed and an acquaintance of another young lady there said there were spare seats in her friends car. ANYWHO, this friend turned out to be my hairdresser! Boy was that awkward when I came out stumbling all over the joint (way too much vino).
You can assume I spent all of Sunday not feeling very well in the slightest.

In other news, it's cold! Really cold. Pull your shit together Melbourne.

7 days until shopping ban is reinstated :(

Near death experience avoided.

I ALMOST did my first spin class today but then my friend just text me and said she's feeling unwell so we don't have to go until tomorrow. Yippee.

I'm dreading it. Absolutely dreading it. I will be sore, very very very VERY sore. But, in the name of friendship I will sacrifice the stability of my legs for a few days and participate as a motivational factor.

Big, red envelopes.

Valentines day!

Yes, I know it was a whole 3 days ago now but I have blog lazy (blazy?) and never got around to it.

I was unfortunately also lazy on Valentines day, but we had cake and movies and I got roses :)

I've never really had a Valentines day where a GIGANTIC deal was made out of it but hey, maybe I'm just a freak. But at least I had a Valentine.

Getting super excited about going overseas now. Less than four months!

Unsatisfying Saturdays.

Trying to save money is that I get bored. I get bored and have nothing to do because everything costs money. So, I have one day off this week and I have absolutely nothing to do because....everything costs money, and it sucks.

I can't go shopping, I can't go for meals out and the boy fell asleep (yes...it is 12:50 in the afternoon). I'm sick of watching episodes of everything on t.v and I wish I was going to uni right now. The only catch to that would be that I can't actually then be working full time and I wouldn't be saving as much. Also, for some reason my pay has not cleared so I don't even get to enjoy my regular Saturday satisfaction of transferring money into my Europe, and house funds!

Anyone have any ideas for completely free entertainment?

A costly lunch.

Spaghetti bolognese, and I think a roast vegetable foccacia.

Anyway, that wasn't the expensive part. The expensive part was the parking fine that was issued to me. Strange thing was, it was issued for me being parked between the times of 12:58, and 1:21 in an area marked as 30 minutes parking. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that is only 23 minutes.

That awkward moment.

When you're waiting in line for the toilet and the person in front of you completely saturates the floor in their own urine and because, obviously we were waiting in line, they had no other option but to stand there completely and utterly humiliated.

I didn't know what to do with myself! I could have offered to help but in all honesty that seemed a bit silly because what was I supposed to do? I had nothing to help clean up the mess and nothing to ease her embarrassment short of saying "would you like to borrow my pants?" or "don't worry- that happens to me all the time."

Now, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she has some sort of bladder problem and didn't just wait too long and then get stuck in a line.

Tony Bianco- Maxine.

I am currently in need of some shoes because somehow I haven't bought any in sooo long that I am now sorely lacking.

I have also decided I am in need of some more CASUAL clothing. The kind that can be taken over the seas and not need any special care because I liked the pretty material it was made out of. Must be machine washable and quickish to dry. I'm thinking cute skirts teamed with basic tops and sun dresses.
I really want a maxi dress/skirt but everything else I own is no where near the length of that and I'm not entirely sure how I look in them. Ha, stupid I know. But I just feel so damn weird wearing them because they're so different to the rest of my clothes!

A random day off.

Usually, I don't have days off work during the week but today I did. I spent the whole day at the shops and I didn't purchase one single item of clothing. This may or may not have been because the young lady I went with confiscated my wallet and only gave it back to me to pay for lunch.

Birthday!

Not mine, my aunties. However it was just as much fun. I had to work on Sunday which is completely out of character for me and it has thrown my whole week out of whack but I'm determined to soldier on.

Anywho... Presents:
Candles....Candles....MORE CANDLES. She likes candles.
Also, wait for it.....

iPad! I played wordfind on it for almost a whole hour trying to beat the sisters boys score but I still failed :(

... And of course there was also....

Pavlova and a strawberry, cream and chocolate cheesecake!

Friday Feast.

Nom, so the boy and I went on a 'real' date, and it is only these nights that I am allowed to take photos however this time he stipulated that any that include him, are not allowed on the internet. So, that means you only get the one photo of my food which was Moroccan Lamb. Yummy chunky tomato sauce which was very subtly spicy. Not the OH MY GOD ALL I CAN TASTE IS BURNING kind of spicy but more or a slight tang, which was great because I seemed to forget that I don't actually like spicy food when I ordered this. It also came with a side of sweet potato which I was surprised at everywhere else usually gives me stinking boring normal po-tae-toe, and salad too which I shoveled down my throat despite the fact I had a strange broccoli craving.

The boy had fettuccine carbonara- which is pretty much the only food he orders of a restaurant menu or ever cooks me. Except that one time he made brownies.

Toe!

Today, I was walking along minding my own business headed to my bathroom to put away some towels and BAM smashed foot into the side of a DVD player. Suddenly, there was an awful lot of blood and swelling, oh I almost forgot to mention the amount of pain I was in- not that it will be forgotten quickly. On further inspection I realised that my toe nail was no longer actually attached my toe and it was just hanging off at some strange angle!

I cried for about half an hour.

Then my foot turned purple, I think it's broken.

I won't post any photos because I might make you vomit.

Bloggy has been word heavy recently, apologies. X

Naughty food.

I was a fatty, and had gnocchi with carbonara sauce and parmesan cheese for dinner. Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to go down to the shops so it was very plain and simple. No spring onion, no bacon and no mushrooms :(

Ibiza.

I finally booked it! Having booked the rest of my trip back in November it feels like I've been waiting forever to do it, but it finally happened.

I fly out of London headed to Ibiza on the 24th of July 2011 and then I come back so that I can fly home on the 27th, which honestly is pretty tragic. I would have stayed a whole week would it not have cost around 3K. I'm only staying 3 nights and its costing $1300. I'm staying as Los Molinos which is apparently a 4-star hotel and is situated directly on the beach. That being said, do European star ratings coincide with Australian ones? Regardless, it has an epic pool as well as a sauna and breakfast everyday. It's also a 5 minute walk away from everywhere I will want to be of a night time which makes me very happy.

Ready or not here I come.

Burger and Potato.

I had dinner at The Burger Lounge tonight. So cheap and so good. It's just opened in Eltham and turns out it has the same owner as Bolton St chicken which hands down has the best potato bake. Would definitely consider working there just to find out their secrets. Okay maybe I wouldn't- too much chicken.

Fact: I am afraid of feathers, even when they're not attached to something living. Yes, this means no dream catchers, quills and I also do not eat bird. 

Anyway, I had a Classic with Cheese. Swiss cheese to be precise. Also filled with 100% prime organic beef, tomato, lettuce, red onion, tomato relish, herb aioli and Swiss cheese. The friend had a Veggie Delight which was roasted pumpkin, char grilled red capsicum, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, feta, watercress, sweet onion jam and aioli. Both were delish but there aren't any photos because we both went straight from work and gulped it down. Well, most of it. I got just over half way through and decided that I would only ever finish if they ever start serving regular sized portions.

I almost forgot the best part. These burgers were $10 each. No joke. 

 

What happens when plans don't eventuate.

 

Squashed in the car on the way to breakfast before heading to Mansfield. 

 

Cool stained glass next to our booth.

Healthy on a plate.

So, I never made it to Mansfield. Instead, I traipsed all over Melbourne look a stupid xbox game the boy couldn't remember where he'd left. Watched a group of boys play DJ Hero for about 3 hours. Almost broke my shopping ban for "Bridey, the Mary-Jane inspired sky high pump". The boy literally grabbed my arms and walked me out the store. Now, I'm blogging while he plays his stupid game and I can hear guns being fired in the next room. 

At least I know where I'll be on February 1st.

Dreams.

Last night I had two creepy as dreams.

The first, I got married, to a faceless man at an unidentifiable venue. Anyway, everything was all going fine and dandy until all of a sudden my Cinderella style coach (horses included- no pumpkin though) suddenly stopped and we all got out and we were all standing in a marsh (think L.O.T.R) shooting at each other! My god it was weird, everyone was there including family members of mine who are no longer alive and people I haven't worked with in a decent 6 months.

Second, I got a $3000 phone bill. This wasn't eventful in the slightest but I did wake up very agitated wondering how the hell it had happened. Turns our, as the dream went on I kept going on facebook while I was in South America (note: I have never been to South America) and the internet made my bill ginormous.

I guess that's what happens when you work a 13.5 hour shift and you start to go slightly loopy toward the end.

First deposit!

This morning, my pay cleared and I actually started my house saving. That being said the account (I think, will only have $50 in it, I can buy a house made of marshmallows- at least it will taste nice even if it does get taken over my an army of ants), actually transferring this bank account is getting rather complicated. I transferred the money fine which apparently you have to do to activate these accounts, but now it's not yet linked to my CBA account and I was assuming because it said it would take 2 days to clear and all this will happen after then?

Also, apparently I entered either the wrong access code or the wrong PIN and now I am locked out of the website. HA, fail.

Feeling productive.

When I got home from work today I not only cleaned my house, but I finalised my passport documents, opened an ING account to start caving for my home (yes, I was deadly serious), and then I finally finished the application for my credit card which I started about 4 months ago now. The theory is, I will just use it in emergencies when I am overseas and hopefully this won't involve wardrobe crises.

House!

I've decided I want to start (slowly) saving to buy a house. I know I won't be able to do this for a few years yet because I'm planning on going to school which I'm still ever so excited about and the suspense of waiting to apply let alone find out if I get in it KILLING me. However, life goes on.

So this evening, I opened my very first ING savings account. Currently, it has $50 in it- have to start somewhere. Plus, I'm going to Europe in 5 months so I need the majority of my pennies for other things currently. My AWESOME parents said that if I worked my savings butt off they would pay for half of my house- provided I somehow save 50K. Currently this is a bit daunting but I WILL do it. I have faith.

Saturday smiles :)

 

Sunset from over my back fence.

Friends el cheapo bracelet, I thought it was rather cute and assumed it was something around the $25 mark from SG or the like but it turns out it was $5 from Rubi.

Apple crumble- not home made because I was feeling laaaazzyyy (and lacking in time). Just cause I could.

Beach!

Today I went to the beach... eventually. I nagged everyone to go alllll day yesterday- to no avail, but today was the day! That being said, I was awake, ready and excited at about 10AM, with the boy still snoozing in my bed. If I thought getting him up was a challenge, his friend came alone too. The many phone calls didn't do the job at waking him up so obviously the solution was to just turn up at his house and literally drag him out of bed. We didn't actually get there until about 3 and all 3 of us were starving so we had toasted focaccias and mars bar cake.

We met up with some friends and I sat and played in the sand with the Eliza while all the guys went and swam. Being all comfy and lying down on our stomachs we were wondering what all the fuss was about when this horse sized dog started losing the plot after being all cool, calm and collected the entire time we'd been there. Then all of a sudden this muscly middle sized pup slammed straight into the side of Eliza's head en route to attack/play with said horse (aka dog).

There aren't any photos because I didn't want to leave my brand new shiny camera I just got for my birthday a few months ago on the beach unattended if I did go paddle.

Anyway, this is an awesome photo one of my friends took of her significant other at the beach a couple of weeks ago. Personally, I think it's adorable.

Dreams.

Last night I had the most messed up dream!

I was walking along the very edge of a waterfall, and below was this amazing beach (think privately owned luxury island escape kind of amazing) and all of a sudden I noticed there were sharks swimming below, when I leaned over to look at them the boy just pushed me off while he leaped off at the same time! Anyway the whole time we were plummeting toward this gigantic shark that I was convinced was going to tear me to shreds once I landed in the ocean I realised that I was swimming above all of the sea creatures and they were all in this tank underneath (yeah, weird I know). I ended up getting out and going to lie on the beach and all of a sudden I think everyone I've ever met was there just hanging out. Seriously I'm talking people I have neither seen nor heard from in over a year!

Definitely woke up a little flustered.

Favorites :)

Feeling lucky.

Today at work I was feeling particularly miserable. Partly because I finished at 9PM last night and had to be back at 8AM and partly because it was Friday and I just wanted the day to be over as it was my first full week back after the festive season and I was left feeling utterly exhausted and sore all over. However, I got through the day by reminding myself how lucky I am just to be tired. That is, as opposed to tired, homeless, parentless and a wide variety of other nasties I'd honestly rather not think about let alone write about.

That being said, while Queensland is flooding my family have gone down the Great Ocean Road to Lorne for the week and I was intending to visit them tomorrow, but turns out landslides have closed the Great Ocean Road and I'm not 100% sure how to get there another way. Also, two caravan parks were evacuated in Lorne as well as some places around Wye river with 10 people needing police help to do so safely.

So, it's safe to say I'm feeling  very lucky to be in my cozy home with power and water exactly where it's supposed to be :)

University!

The other day I decided that I finally want to go to uni. This is my third year out of high school  now and I'm beginning to get over the whole Monday to Friday cafe thing. It's not that I don't like it, strangely enough, I don't actually mind it. Climbing the corporate ladder isn't for me, but I've always been vaguely interested in studying something to do with children, helping them in some way perhaps. I first considered social work, but then decided that I am not capable of keeping my emotions and job separate. I thought that even thought we would be trained in how to deal with this, I didn't really want to not react the way I think I would react, it doesn't seem right. I want to be sad when I see cases such as what a social worker would be dealing with, it feels wrong not to. So, I settled on teaching. I had to call the uni I want to apply to because I cannot start in February due to my overseas trip in the middle of the year, I would have been in Europe around exam time and there was not enough information on the website regarding mid year intake. Turns out, they're not sure if the course I want to do will actually be running beginning mid year so I have to wait until early May. Usually this would be fine and dandy except that I am leaving the country for 6 weeks on June 16th. This leaves me 5 weeks so fill out all my applications- which because my ENTER score is no longer valid quite a long process as I have a lot of extra requirements. Also, if I get in I will need to organise my books and enrolement, while working full-time and organising all those last minute things before I leave. I'm anticipating quite a stressful 5 weeks. I might even finish work a week or so before I leave just to have some extra time other wise my brain might just explode with lack of sleep and elevated stress!

I'm a tad excited to go back to school I'll throw it out there :)

Resolutions.

1. No cigarettes. Ever.
2. Must. Not. Shop. Every second month is okay. My theory is, if I avoid impulse purchases, then by the time it's the next month and the shopping ban is lifted, I will have an accumulation of things I need not just want and the thought of buying both will (hopefully) seem like too high a cost and I will avoid it.
3. Find a few more people worth my time.
4. Start working to live, instead of living to work. 

Current perks in life:
Europe is booked, just need a few more spending pennies.
I'm sussing out if it's possible for me to attend uni to study secondary teaching with mid year entry. Pretty sure I was supposed to apply a while ago but I took the morning off work tomorrow so spend some time on the phone working out of it is actually possible to successfully apply at this point in time.

Stir Fry.

I know this doesn't make me winner of Masterchef, but considering I got home from work at 6.30, showered, went to the shops, got back and created this all before 7.10 I think I did pretty good.

Hello :)

So, I am me, and this is my blog.

I have a puppy.

A boy.








A whole heap of other awesome things too, but for now, they are the most important.
