hello.

Just a quick note to say that I haven't forgotten you, and that I promise to write soon.

penguin classics.

Pretty books.


Me & Jane Eyre.

(Hello Mr. Rochester!)

pet hate.

I really REALLY dislike it when words that should be spelled with a "C" are spelled with a "K"... with the exception of Kool Fruits. "Cool" Fruits would just look lame.

last chance.

Lately, my blog has kind of died. I haven't had much to say, nothing exciting has really been happening. I have been thinking about killing it and starting over, but I think I'll give it one last chance. So this is where things change. I will try to blog at least once a week. I will try to make it interesting, no matter how boring it actually is. It would be a shame just to bury it under the old willow tree. Ok blog, I promise to try harder. Maybe we could use some colour around here. Maybe I should start using more pictures. Perhaps I will, but don't hold your breath for them. I'm sorry I've neglected you, so here's to starting over... but not completely.

one, two... skip a few... ninety-nine, a hundred!

It seems that whenever I really want or need an early night, I get all inspired. Not even inspired to do really awesome life changing things, but just to do things. Sometimes silly things, pointless things. And even impossible things. Its only 10pm now, but I have given myself a task that could potentially keep me up all night. Of course at some point, I will have to force sleep upon myself. Why oh why must it always be on a Tuesday night?

Ok. I have given myself a mission. Inspired by Triple J's hottest 100 of all time. I want to make a playlist of my top 100 songs. I really wish I didn't think of it. And the rule... one song per artist. Not sure if it can be done! I am going to have some trouble. Currently I am stuck on crowded house. I thought mean to me was my favourite, but then I remembered all of my other favourites. I do however know my favourite crowded house music video... something so strong. So funny! But yes. For now I am trying to think of all my obvious favourites. But I will struggle with a few artists.

And then... Do I put them in order? How will I ever choose that!

When (slash if) I complete the list, I will show you.

I don't need no title. (Because I just can't think of one!)

Once again it has been a very long time since last blogging. I'm thinking I might just start doing it more frequently these days...

A lot has changed recently, I suppose. The main thing being I am finally moved out of home! I was going to say ALL moved out of home, but the truth is I still have a few boxes of my childhood I need to sort through. But apart from that I am all moved out! I must say only moving a street away is quite handy. For example, I wanted poached eggs on toast for dinner. I have no toast. Or bread even. So I popped home and grabbed a few slices! Yay! Dinner can happen at last!

I am rather liking my new found independence. Sure it's only been a week, but I have a good feeling about this!

What else. Hmm, was just at the ranch this weekend for the first time in like a year. I wish I could get there more often. It made me realise how much I miss leading! Hopefully I will get the chance to soon. Although soon probably won't be for like at least a year! Oh well. It was a good weekend, though I experienced some unexplained emotional-ness. Sometimes you just need to cry I suppose!

I am tired and I need to poach my eggs, so until next time... farewell.

this and that.

It is FINALLY over! I have officially survived 4 weeks of managerlessness (totally a word) at work. Now I don't have to worry if nobody can work on Sunday, I don't have to start work at 7am everyday, I don't have to stress like crazy, I don't have to walk into a mess of a coolroom after having a day off, I don't have to worry if I ordered enough ice creams (well, not as much at least), the pressure is off, and I am extremely relieved!

Ugh, its hot. Uber hot. And I don't like it much at all.

Today I bought towels that are 1m x 2m. Very large indeed.

I am annoyed with my hair cut. It looks weird.

I have a song stuck in my head. Oh my goodness, speaking of songs...

I totally heard worship music in coles the other week. Like not just mildly Jesusy, but FULLY! I was like hmm, I'm hearing a lot of holy and worship and Lord God almighty. And then I heard DC Talk!

I am looking forward to having a coles-free weekend.

I can smell steak. OH! I am about to eat steak! HOW RAD!

/blogging.

Yay!

So, for the longest time I have said nothing. All of a sudden, I have things to say!

I am finally moving out!!! (That would be my most exciting thing).


The details - In about a month, up the hill, with Wendy and Claire. I am very much looking forward to it! So yay!

I can breathe

Tonight I got breath tested at the McDonalds drive thru! I was super impressed! I thought it quite quite sneaky and very smart, because drunk people go to McDonalds. It's what they do...

hello.

14 sleeps til Christmas. Where has the year gone!

Well I haven't written anything in a while. I guess I'm boring. Today I put a new ipod on layby. I'm excited about that! My old one is full, and it makes me sad. And this way I will have plenty of room for all of my songs and more. To celebrate, I bought an extra 50 downloads from emusic. Yipee! The 26th did seem way too far away anyway. I guess it is only 15 sleeps...

I'm not really sure what has been happening. I've been feeling quite busy recently. I suppose this is my 46 hour week at work, and I have quite a few other Christmasy things going on. I am quite looking forward to Sunday afternoon, where the bulk of it shall be over. Sigh.

I saw a kangaroo hopping up the road last night. I thought it was a person at first. It seems I was wrong.

I would really like to go on a holiday, I have decided. Either that, or find a new job. ha. ha. It's not that bad I guess, but yes. I want holidays! But I don't think that will happen for a while.

Oh, so I haven't eaten chocolate in like... 11 days, I think. I decided to give it up for a while... I still haven't decided how long for. I sort of want to give it up for as long as possible... but that means I could quit at any time. I think I shall keep going, see what happens. I'm thinking I will avoid it at the very least until Christmas. But maybe I will keep going. Hmm. What to do. It's no big deal. But I have decided I should give up something else as well. Not sure what. Maybe juice. I drink too much juice... I'm sure that if I can give up chocolate, I can give up anything. Maybe.

Oh, I need to find 2 santa suits within the next 20 hours. Bother. And a kazoo...

And I think I have done enough rambling for the evening... Now.

Happy.

I am so unbelievably excited. I have Saturday off! And Sunday. Oh, and Monday!!! 3 days... in a row! Yay!

And...

I will no longer be working every Saturday... only every second! So it seems I have some of my life back!

ebay shmebay

Ahh, gotta love it when you bid on things on ebay without really thinking it through.

And especially when you win.

Seriously, what do I want with 20 pairs of kiddie earrings? I don't really know what I was thinking. Oh well!

hehe, oops.

Oh dear. I guess it had to happen sooner or later... (but never would have been nice)I reversed into a gate. Sigh. I wish I didn't, but I was tired and stuff. And now Lorelei has an ugly rear. 23 hasn't started so well... but at least things will only get better from here. I have decided!

On a happy note, I received something exciting and yummy in the mail! It kinda made my day. I also played in the park with Amanda. The tyre swings were more painful than I remembered, but very fun. And, the mascara I'm wearing is freaking awesome. I was lazy and didn't take it off last night, but when I looked in the mirror at 5:30 this morning, I looked better than normal! No panda eyes at all. And, then today... I had an eye rubbing fit. And I was like oh no, I just rubbed my mascara off... but I didn't! It was still on my eyelashes, and only my eyelashes. Not even a tiny bit of black on my face! So that is a very good thing!

And yeah. Now I'm sleepy and must go... sleep. Ha! I can't wait til Saturday afternoon is here!

heck yes!

I am sooo excited to have a whole 3 days off in a row! Since becoming full time, I have hardly had a proper day off for one reason or another... excluding Sundays of course. So it is super rad that I have 3 days away from coles! I seriously don't know what to do... and yay, one of those days is a birthday day!

The only sort of interesting thing is, Tuesday is my managers last day before she goes to Cranbourne... and the person who was going to be the new manager isn't coming for some reason. Meaning that I am left on my own until further notice. I hope that notice comes soon... coz there is heaps of stuff I've got no idea how to do. I just hope that when I go to work on Wednesday there is some news! But until then, I am going to try super hard not to think about it... and I'm gonna try even harder not to stress about it.

And back to happy thoughts !

little miss whoops.

It seems that I have a natural talent for being stupid. Oh dear...

So, the other day, I came home to find a certain person playing a certain game on my computer... without asking me! And, I was angry to say the least. So, in my fit of rage, I decided to put a password on my computer... hehe, yeah. That was smart.

So sometime the next day, I had a thought... oh, I hope I can remember that password...

And I didn't. So after hours of trying to remember my password and trying every combination that I could think of... after going to sleep and trying again the next day... I made the decision to factory re-boot (or something like that) my computer. Which of course meant I lost everything. On the positive, being relatively new there was not much to loose... but on the negative, I lost all of my music :( and it took ages to dump it, and because my ipod is full... there was music on my computer that was not on my ipod! I'm pretty sure that I only lost 1 of my most recently downloaded albums, but it is annoying!! And yeah. But I guess thats what I get for being stupid.

At least the password did its job.

what the heck is it with me and milk!

ok... if you thought the last story was... I don't know, something... well this one is like... something more. And yes, milk.

This morning I was pulling a pallet full of milk from the coolroom to the shop floor. It can be a bit of a tight squeeze getting through the back in some places. Hmm, yes. As I got to the narrowest part, I turned around to talk to someone, and with the smallest 'tap' (oh dear) crates of milk went crashing everywhere! Now, in my experience, when they fall and hit the ground, they tend to break... and usually there would be milk everywhere. But today, by some miracle... only about 5 bottles had slight leaks. Not a single smashed bottle! And there was A LOT of bottles and cartons of milk everywhere. It was embarrassing, and annoying... and it put me behind, but I remained unusually calm. Little miss stress-head, calm! It's true I tell you!

Sigh...

So yeah, then as I was filling milk, I discover that no smart buy 3 litre came in. NONE! There might as well have been no milk at all! But yeah... you deal with it. I definitely ordered it, it was even on the invoice... but when I called national foods they said it was 'unavailable'. Thanks for telling me!

Ok and I promise that will be the last milk story.
Well, maybe. I don't have much else going on in my life i'm afraid!

And yay!

Did I mention I got myself a laptop? It's pretty rad. But I wish it was red...

there's nothing quite like the smell of bad milk on your eyebrows...

This week at work I am running the department. It's a little scary, but mostly familiar. And now, for a story.

So today at work, at roughly 8:15am, I was in the coolroom restacking the milk crates and what not. While I was filling earlier, I found some out of date milk, so I was about to throw it into the waste. I was quite tired as it was still rather early and I am by no means a morning person, plus I went to bed way too late the night before. On top of that, the bed I am currently sleeping in is a total disaster. Usually my reflexes at work are quite good, they sort of have to be to avoid youghurt explosions. But like I said, I was tired. All of a sudden, 3 litres of you'll love coles lite had slipped from my fingers, and before I had even realised it was all over my face! I was quite confused. But we must be brave in these situations and not cry. It really would have been a funny thing to see... if anyone was lucky enough to be watching. It felt like a cartoon. It was a very big splash. I guess that is what happens when milk is dropped from head height... it bounces back! And of course it got everything I was wearing soaking wet in that 'oh so yucky this milk went bad 2 days ago' kind of way. But yes, my eyebrows... it was the worst!

hmm

I think I just signed my life over to coles... or something like that. Yep, I've officially gone full time, as of Monday. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I guess I will have to see how it goes. It means I will be working every single Saturday. And it means I will be working later than I would like to on week nights. Sigh. I'm not sure it was the right thing to do, but it is done now...

Oh dear...
