3. Dropping my iphone and cracking the screen
4. Finding out that it would take a week to fix the screen of my iphone
5. Dropping my iphone after i just got the screen fix
6. When the car doesnt start cause I drained the battery by leaving the lights on over night
7. Doing 6. repeatedly
8. Busting two lights in a week and not being able to change the light bulbs because of our high ceilings
9. Having 6 & 8 happen while the bf is away overseas
10. When you drop the kids off at the pool and realise there's no toilet paper

Sweet Sweetest Berry

I've always liked Guy Sebastian, by far the most talented Aussie idol ever. I can't say that I'm totally fanatical about him. But I would have to say he does a marvellous job of this amazing song:



Enjoy!

Sunday Delight

Yesterday we went to Audley at the Royal National Park. It was a glorious Sunday arvo. Relaxed with David Ryan Harris tunes playing. Blue skies, warm weather, a couple of glasses of red, King Island blue cheese with cabernet paste and great friends. What a Perfect Sunday.

My Top 5 Projects:

1. Starting a look book

2. Painting feature walls in our study and main bedroom

3. Becoming a samba queen
4. Planning next overseas trip with the bf
5. Researching properties in Las Vegas!


Project Updates:

1. Starting a look book: Have 2 looks to post, but since my camera is broken I haven't been able to take proper pics. I really can't wait to join the collective fashion-conscious. But happy to report that I will be returning to my snap-happy/camera whoring self this week when the bf picks me up a new shiny camera
2. Painting feature walls in our study and main bedroom: Went to Bunnings the other day and chose out our colours: Chocolate Glimmer Metallic & Pewter Illusion Metallic.
3. Becoming a samba queen: I took my first class last week. My butterfinger guts and my steak-rump went through shock treatment with all that booty shaking. Oooh Yeah. Tonight will be my second class. I want a svelt super sexy bod like those b-faces. If I had their bods I would have no problems walking around in a g-string everywhere not just dancing in one.
4. Planning next overseas trip with the bf. Hopefully the boy can get time off work. I need a holiday. One where we would have no where to be, but to be, which would involve lots of beer and good food.
5. Researching properties in Vegas! Yes, I hope to have a holiday/party home in Vegas. Totally random but since my parents loved it so much there when they went on a big US adventure, they have asked me if i would like to 'chip in' for a place. Where is that spare $100k i had lying around?? But anyways, if it turns out to be a viable investment, I will sell my body if it means I have an amazing apartment in Vegas.

Hawaii-Lagged

I just got back from Hawaii again about 2 weeks ago and whilst I haven’t had a relapse of post-hawaii blues when holiday-ing in Hawaii my wiring becomes accustomed to a certain way of life. My body is totally Hawaii-lagged, since coming home I’ve had to fight the following urges:

Saying ‘Aloha’ to Shop assistants or to anyone in general

Craving for red velvet cheesecake from the cheesecake factory

Having a 3pm nap at my desk at work (Noon was about the time I had a daily nap at Waikiki beach)

Craving for a beer at about 9pm everytime (6pm was about the time we had our daily beer at Waikiki Yard house)

Wearing a bikini to work (now if I did this, it could either get me fired or maybe even promoted)

aaaaaaaaaawwww...... I HEART HAWAII

What I really wanted to say….

I would have to say that I have a very grown-up job. I have had to work on dressing a certain way, conducting myself in a certain manner and coupled with the fact that my job can be somewhat stressful having to deal with challenging characters (translation: fuckwits), I have also had to work on my tact a fair bit over the last few years. Particularly because I tend to say the most inappropriate things, at the most inappropriate times.

So I thought I would share the Top 5 diplomatic things I said at work today, which should win me some sort of medal over and above keeping me employed.

1. “I completely agree that its an important issue & we need to prioritise this against other initiatives.” Translation: In the scheme of things this is a piss-shit issue and you are wasting my time.
2. "He has a capability gap and I am concerned about his level of initiative." Translation: He is a fuckin dumb-ass who is a lazy piece of shit
3. "Wow that's fantastic. Good for you." Translation: I don't give a shit about your lifestory. I just want to end this conversation now.
4. "Sorry I cant stop and chat, Im on my way to another meeting." Translation: Small talk with you is awkward and I just cant be bothered.
5. "He was interesting”. Translation: He was a fuckin nut-job.

Talented & Wonderful- Synonymous with David Ryan Harris

Enjoy!

Hawaii blues continue

I'm at work sitting in front of my pc, looking a the long list of meetings I have today, which I will need to try desperately not to microsleep through...

I'm at work sitting in front of my pc, looking outside observing the office people in the building across the way, wishing I was looking at the ocean and palm trees...

I'm at work sitting in front of my pc, looking at my cup of coffee and realize that the cup is half empty, and I'm double gutted cause I'm wishing I was drinking a coffee bean tea latte...

I'm at work sitting in front of my pc, being a sad sack in my suit and heels, wishing I was in my bikini on a beach in Hawaii.

I need another holiday. Apologies for the whine-age.

i heart Jason Mraz

I am completely and totally in love with Jason Mraz... Its like my life mission to meet him... I don't really know what I would do if that actually happened. I would possibly have some sort of fit. hahahaha and I still love him even though he is performing this song with some completely random back up dancers which seem so out of context for this song.... Anyways i guess thats how they roll in Brazil

“I left my heart in Hawaiiiii…. There on a a beach it calls to me”

So a gf and I just came back from our Hawaii trip and I have some serious post Hawaii blues. There is something about this place that felt like a perfect fit. I don't know if its just because yes, I was on holidays and yes, I was totally relaxed, but I think that in many ways Hawaii has a lifestyle that I would love for myself in a parallel universe.

It was amazing to wake up every morning and not to have a care in the world. And to meet people who just live for the beach, the sun and the next wave was amazingly refreshing as the water we swam in everyday we were there.

Waking up to the warm air and beautiful palm trees made me feel energised and alive. Looking forward to a new adventure was what we lived for and it makes me question why I couldn't live like that everyday. Am I being unrealistic? I mean I have always been a dreamer, but for whatever reason… there is something about Hawaii that has made me want to chase a new dream…

I would love to move there, learn how to surf and teach random tourists whilst trying not to drown them (or them drown me ;)….).

I could become a hula dancer, wear coconuts and grass skirts everyday- Forget about my suits and heels…

I could take people out on that booze cruise every day and watch the sunset- Forget about my coffee meetings & watching my computer shut down.

I even had a friend suggest that I could be a card dealer- Forget about dealing and negotiating business.

Such tempting offers, when compared to my 8 to 5, some days 8 to 8- desk job which I was so sure I was passionate about 2 weeks ago. Today was my first day back at work, I made it through ok. Mopy, but managed to fit in a smile or two… I may have to wear my bikini under my clothes tomorrow just to get me through.

Anyways, I really need to shake it off…

But I did say to my boy that if I felt like this after a month we need to move to Hawaii, get married and plan to raise our surfer babies. He was happy to oblige ofcourse, however I am sure he thinks that this is another one of my momentary lapses of sanity haha… So we’ll see in a month.

Oh Hawaii blues- woe is me...
