frankly

OOoo New Frankie magazine out today! Huzzah! Its my favourite magazine these days... It always comes with this cool poster from an upcoming artist (personally, i think K should send her stuff there!). You should see this issues poster, so pretty!

I know, a magazine is a magazine, but seriously, this one is great. Full of interesting stories, real people and orginality. Honestly... Its cool.

And, I've just discovered you can download the posters as wallpapers! Nifty!

gallantry is back

Had to take a very large, very heavy box full of brochures to the post office this morning. A work mate and I decided we were strong enough to carry it down ourselves, the post office is only around the corner, we could carry it there no problem! Ahem, right, we got to the street and realised it was a little bit heavier than we thought... Then we started giggling and laughing, which isn't the best thing you can do when you have to carry something quite heavy. So here we were, standing on the street, laughing and trying to hold onto this parcel which was rapidly slipping out of our hands, when this knight (businessman) came up and took it from our hands. *shock* He then carried the box to the post office for us, and was going to wait in the queue with us! Very chivalrous of him...
We ended up taking the package from him though, said our thanks and he rode off into the distance, (off to the coffee shop next door).
I tried to get Fiona to go over there and buy the coffee for him, as a token of our gratitude, and secretly trying to get Fiona to introduce herself... hehe. (matchmaking) But he disappeared by the time we had finished in the post office. *damn*

Gallantry is back!

quintessence

Ahh... May I offer you a piece of advice?

Do not go into Lush when you don't have a bath to indulge in all the tempting treats they offer! Its so disappointing. They have just released all these really delicious smelling bath bombs that i want to try out, and its so annoying not having a bath!

It was such a dilemma when I moved into my current house. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the place, its fantastic, BUT, it has no bath. No bath! DISASTER! Ok, ok, so I shouldn't even be thinking about baths, seeing as we're in such a predicament with water. But, I have a real hankering for a bath at the moment. A long bath... and a good book.

The hit list (in no particular order): Marathon Bubble Bar, Still Life Bath Ballistic, Chelsea Garden Bath Ballistic, Temple of Truth Bubble Bar and Floating Island Bath Melt.
*drool drool drool*

wedding photos!

Just a little post, to let you all know that you can see some pictures from E and J's weddings on my flickr site!

I know you've all been asking for them for a while, and finally I got some...

I'm counting down until September, just 2 weeks today! 2 weeks until Y comes back! HURRAH! Very excited... :)

got my mojo back

Guess who's got her bounce back?! Me!

Feeling a lot better this morning, no headache! Yeah yeah. Finally got over the worst part of the flu, just got kick the rest of it out the window..

A lot easier to come into work this morning. And a lot easier to work! Possibly because its Saturday tomorrow, already! Its been a short week.. busy, but short.

I tell ya, we gotta get a petition to have 4 day weeks every week. And I was thinking, you could rotate it, so that one week you have a Monday or a Friday off, and the next you have the Wednesday... So you get a long weekend some weeks, and a break in the middle of the week on other weeks! Perfect! Apparently France has 4 day weeks... hmm... move to France?

Or Canada? I heard Canadians knock off work at midday on Friday, and start work at midday on Monday, so thats practically a 4 day week as well! Brilliant!

Gotta get onto that! ;)

lonely days

Feeling a bit lonely... I did end up getting that flu. It sucks! I spent all day in bed yesterday with seriously painful headaches.

Today is the Ekka holiday, so no work today either.. Which is good because i can get over this horrible flu, but I hate feeling sick like this.

Making me a little emotional which is, in turn, making me feel like everything is too much at the moment. Its all too hard today...

whistle

We're all going on a summer holiday, something something something, week or two...

Haha, okay, not going on a summer holiday. But thinking about a spring holiday, to Byron for the weekend! When Y is here... yay! Gotta get a car. It can be such a hassle trying to organise a holiday when you have to rely on public transport and your own legs! ;)

And, its whale season at the moment down there, so maybe we'll even get to see some whales or dolphins! Woo-Hoo!

Didn't get that cold by the way. Upped the fruit and vitamin c and other stuff that we all take when you start to get sick, and wah-lah! No cold/flu! Hurrah! It's going around, so I'm pretty darn glad I didn't get it...

Going home this weekend, home home. Another little mini-break!

Thats a good idea by the way, to ask Audrey first, about using her work as a tattoo. It'd be kinda cool if she would design one for me.. hehe... in my dreams. (by the way, anyone that doesn't agree with me getting a tattoo, sorry, I'm still going to get one). A little one, a good one... I promise!

La-di-da...

ugh

Ugh, I'm starting to feel a cold coming on... Its pretty bad at the moment, everybody here at work has either a cold or a flu. And so far, I have been skating along on thin ice, not getting sick at all. But today, my head is getting that sick feeling, and my throat is sore.

Time to stock up on the vitamin C/echinacea/horseradish/garlic etc. etc. Isn't it funny how everybody has little cures and remedies? If people find out your getting sick, they will pass on their little gems of knowledge about the way to cure it, take echinacea and garlic, eat lots of oranges, rub vicks on your feet and put socks on when you go to bed, hot water with lemon... Its brilliant! Well the suggestions and remedies are brilliant, the actually "coming down with a cold" isn't... =/

Starting to feel a little stagnant at the moment. Bored. Bored with work mainly... Its a bit quieter this week, which you would think that I would enjoy, but actually, after a couple of full on weeks, having nothing to do can get so tedious!! At least when your busy the days fly by...

I think, I will plan a mini-break!
;)

peachy sunday

What a peachy day! Today is warm and spring like again... Blue skies, peach blossoms and smiley stickers stuck to the footpath.

Been out grocery shopping, been so good with that lately. I actually GO grocery shopping! Heh, yeah, never used to do that! Bought a big bag of food, going to cook dinner tonight, and bake cupcakes! Yes, i'm feeling housey or something...

Happy.

Everybody I met seemed to be happy too. The check-out girls, people on the train, people walking past me... Walked past this girl, who looked a lot like Sister E from a distance, and she gave me this big smile as we walked past each other. Just peachy! Hehe... peachy day.

petulant

You ever do something really childish and sooky? Hm.. I do, a bit too much for my liking.

Sometimes, I think I revert back to my childhood, and become really sulky.

*blush*

the hardest part

Oh boy...

I just talked to I and S, my bosses, Managing Director and General Manager respectively, about my plan to go to Japan from next year.

The hardest part, was the fact that I had just gone into S's office to ask a question, and they were talking about a possible centralisation of registration, which would mean I would be solely responsible for registrations for both Brisbane and Noosa. *gulp* Its a good opportunity. And to be honest, Global Village is the one place where I have been given so many opportunities. Its a difficult thing to say that you are thinking about a possible move to Japan when they have all these thoughts about what you can do for the company.

I knew it would be hard to break this to them... but this is a lot harder than I imagined.

I expect to have to battle a lot to go through with this...
