I heart music

Today I bought a cd! I haven't bought a cd in ages, but I really couldn't help myself. I popped into JB hifi to pick up an ipod car thingy (very technical term I know), and it just happened. I did get very good prices... and it's not available in 'my region' on emusic. pfft. But yay, now I can listen to she & him anytime I want!

how strange...

The other day, I bought a fax machine. That in itself is strange... but what is even stranger is that I just recieved a fax. A wrong number fax! How funny...

haircut.

goodbye bus, hello petrol.

Yay! I have my car, she's awesome. Turns out she is a girl after all, and her name is Lorelei Beatrix. She's perdy. I'm very excited about the adventures that we will have together...

Did I say yay already?

finally! well, almost...

YAY! I am almost the owner of my very own car! Hopefully by the end of the week, I actually will be! I have found a car. It is rad. That's rad, not red. It is actually blue...

here is a picture...



Anyhoo, I have left a deposit until the finance comes through, which will hopefully be no later than friday. Oh, there is just so many papers to read and sign! Which I probably should be doing right now. But I am not. Clearly. Actually I probably should be sleeping. Do I sound tired? I think i'm writing funny. Hmm, that would actually be do I read tired? Yep, I think that confirms it. Wish I got a few hours more than I did last night... but, moving on...

So yeah, I can't wait to get my car. I only have one dilemma... and you know what they say, when life gives you dilemmas, you make... dilemmanade!

...

So yes, my dilemma... (dilemma is a funny word. kind of like awkward...)

What shall I name my car? You see, I've only driven it once. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet. If it's a boy it might be Thomas. If it's a girl, it might be Tahlula. Lulu? Hmm... Maybe it's a Tuppence. Oh no! Suggestions are welcome, on both a gender and names! I'm leaning towards boy. And Tuppence.

danielle!

comment away. coz now you can...

happy?

mmm. holiday.

Oh yay! This year my birthday falls on Cup Day. This also means I can choose to work and earn lots, or have the day off and earn normal. And this year, I am choosing the day off! So exciting too, because the day before is my natural day off. So I will have 3 days in a row!

Now I just have to figure out something exciting to do!

playing house

On the 19th of Sept - the 19th of October (or there abouts) Amanda and I will be housesitting. I am very much looking forward to it, except for the lack of car. So, I have applied for a loan, even though I wanted to save for it... but we will see what happens. How rad it would be to have my own car! Especially within a couple of weeks!

did you know?

Spring Valley Liddle Fact #44

The yo-yo originated in The Philippines as a hunting weapon.

(I quite liked that one!)

so many numbers, so little memory!

hmm, today at work, I did a whoopsie. I was mortified, but I don't think anybody noticed... or at least they may not have noticed it was me. It's really not that bad... its just a whoops. or an oops... whichever you prefer really.

So, over the pa I heard 'Dairy case phonecall 5201, dairy case phonecall 5201'.

Ooh, thats me. I'm in dairy and am a case of some sort...

So down I headed to the storeman's desk to take the call. Hmm, 5201... 5201... I think i'll put in 3301. Ends in a 1... why not! 'Hello thi...' Nope, should have gone with 5201. 3301 is the pa!

So there you go. Just a little bit more proof that i'm a silly. I was embarrassed. I swear when I walked out the girl in the deli looked at me weird. Well, she did in my mind anyway!

pop goes something...

Oh dear. This afternoon I experienced my very first flat tyre.

I was driving home from a tupperware party, and I noticed a funny sound. So I pulled over to have a look. This was surely a smart thing to do. I noticed there was a bolt of some sort stuck in my back left tyre. Not a good thing... but I thought 'Oh well', and got back in and headed for home. (This was surely NOT a smart thing to do.)

Shortly after I made it on to the freeway, I thought somebody threw a rock at me, as I heard a bit of a bang of some sort. It concerned me, but on I drove. I almost made it to Berwick, when I noticed somebody was flashing at me. So over to the side we pulled... The man was like 'You have a REALLY flat tyre... I wouldn't drive on it. Do you have a spare?' My response... 'Um, I don't know! maybe I'll call my dad.' (silly melly. My boot was full of tupperware, I didn't know there was a secret compartment!) Well, calling my dad didn't prove to be so helpful. All I wanted was to be rescued! Anyway, I spoke to my mum, and if she had a car, she would have come straight away... but she didn't, coz I was in it! So, I gave Wendy a call, and arranged for her and Sarah to pick my mum up and come and find me.

I didn't like sitting on the side of the road so much, I didn't like it at all really.

Eventually, help had arrived and mumsy showed me how to change a tyre. In the almost dark. Can't say I really remember what she did... but I am going to make sure I learn properly! We had a dodgy thingo, but luckily Sarah had an un-dodgy one in her boot. And after an hour or so of side-of-the-road-not-so-fun, we were on our way home.

The end.

hello.

Oh wow. It has been a very long time. I can't believe how long. Surely my life can't have been that boring! It's not that i've been too busy... I just forgot. Hmm...

And yet, I am at a total blank. So nothing exciting has happened too recently, but over the past few months...

June 1- Congratulations Bel & Tom on your marriage! Enjoy your ironing board!

About a week later- Congratulations to Danielle & Dogga on your engagement! Happy planning!

July- I can't remember anything from July... Oh Foundations was born, congratulations Jill!

August 13th- Happy 50th Birthday Dad!

August 18th- Happy 18th Birthday Mel Cleal!



Well, short and sweet... but that is all I have for now. I won't leave it so long til next time. And eventually I will put up some wedding photos etc. I don't have them on the computer since I killed my mother's laptop... but I will make it happen, one day!

ooh!

I saw an elephant on my way to work today! Actually, I saw 2! The circus has come to town you see. I did always love the idea of running away and joining the circus. hmm, ponders...

tupperiffic!

wow, I can't believe it... I had a really good week this week, tupperwise. I only had 2 parties, but I had sales of over $2300, which = more money for me than I make at coles in a week. So yeah, rad! I am supposed to be saving it all for a car... but it might come in handy to pay for some things needed for the upcoming wedding. yeah!

a slight makeover...

I wonder if anyone will notice.

(ps, I just realised what a strange word slight is. hmm...)

the adventures of car sharing.

Oh, the funniest thing...

The last two mornings I drove my dad to work so that I could have the use of the car. I was actually planning to get everything done yesterday, but after I got home I decided that I needed more sleep, and as it was only 6:03am I decided to have a couple of extra hours. But, silly me... I slept in too late, and I didn't have enough time to get all of my running around things done by the time I needed to. So, I drove my dad to work, came home, slept, woke up, did things at home... and then I went and picked dad up. Ha, really silly... Anyways... Today I really really had to get those things done, so I drove my dad to work again. And yes... I did get my things done, and it meant that I didn't have to catch the bus to work which was rad. Anyways, (this is the funniest thing that I mentioned earlier...) As I was driving towards the big round-a-bout to cross the bypass in nar nar goon, I saw what I thought was a plastic bag in the middle of the road, and I decided to go round. As I got closer I realised that it wasn't a plastic bag, it was actually a chicken! It looked like it was standing there dead, or in shock. I had to double check that it even had a head... it was so bizarre! Ahh... fancy that, a chicken!

Ahh, it was so worth getting up so early! Oh, and my dad works down lovers lane! I had totally forgotten and when I saw the sign I was tres excited! So incredibly Anne-ish. Except there is nothing down lovers lane except for an emu farm and an abbatoir... not very romantic, but incredibly funny!

well, at least it's good for the environment...

How tragical. I will be totally without a car after Saturday. I really don't know how my life will work...

modular mates and other things.

Happy Bridal Shower Belinda! On Saturday it was Bel's bridal shower / kitchen tea / what ever you want to call it. We actually decided to do her a tupperware one before I became a demonstrator... but as it worked out, it was my first party! And it was a huge success! Bel ended up with loads of tupperware, and the total sales were very nice indeed! Twas great for my first party, hopefully my next few parties are good too!

I don't have any pictures, but hopefully I can get some from someone...

Oh, and Danielle Bianca made the best ever Belgian lemon tea cake. It was AWESOME!!

On the note of bridalness... Last night we had some hens night planning... I think all of the bridesmaids are quite happy with what we came up with. Of course, I can't say what we came up with... what if Bel found out!

so close... yet so far.

Oh, so it seems that i'm not tech savvy at all... no, no... I'm actually quite the opposite. You see, the problem is this. I made a totally sweet compilation... but I can't figure out how to get the songs off my ipod and into itunes and then... onto a cd. Ahh, it is frustrating. Oh well. I have always wanted to make a sweet compilation... and I finally did. A really good one too. I think Wendy would be impressed. But I can't give it to her.

The end.

tupperlady.

I have my very own tupperware kit! Oh gosh, this thing is fo shiz...
