gardening

We finally bought flowers for our hanging baskets!!

With the winter, we have been kinda slack with our little house... but yesterday we made a start back on track, bought flowers for the hanging baskets, a new plant for inside; the zanzibar, while still alive, is definitely not its strongest... That plant is known for thriving on neglect, well its not thriving... so thats a bad sign. Anyway, we've made a new home for it out the front garden... in a spare spot, just to see how it goes for a little while.

Also doing a bit of a shift around, the bbq to the front, where we'll be able to use it for bbq's without being squished into our side courtyard. Getting ready for summer!

still here

Just letting you all know I am still here... just quiet.

Started my new job... and uh.. yeah.. its ok, but its different to what I was expecting, and to be honest, not something I'm entirely interested in doing. I have realised I don't want to answer phones, make coffee, order stationery, check mail etc... no no, not for me... Which at least is a good thing I've realised... :)

So, actually I'm looking for another job.. hah.. I have a 3 month probation period in this job, where I can give them a weeks notice, so I'm on the job hunt again.

Anyway.. I have no access to emails, blogs, facebook, flickr or basically anything personal during the day... BOO
They block the internet and they also track your every move... which is something I am definitely not used to..

Coupled with the fact that I can't skype anyone.. oh my, I was definitely corrupted at GV... hahah

The hardest thing is that I have ample time to do everything, and no ability to do it all... frustrating...

Anyway, I'll settle in to this new routine soon, and then I'll be back.. or I'll have another job soon... and then settle into that routine... ;)

Leaving Home

It is very hard to do... leave home... but, I am leaving my home for the last 6 years, my work home at least.. for a new job in July!

I have been offered a position as Office Manager in an architect/interior design firm called HBO+EMTB, which I have accepted and will be starting on the 12th of July.

Super hard to leave GV... there has been a lot of tears, and I will struggle without all the girls here...

But the new position is a step up... and its a move forward.. and should be interesting... :)

Ta - Da!

Hah.. news...

Lately

So lately.. i've realised i'm a tomboy. hehe.. whats new... We went to a Professional Bull Riding tournament thing here lately, and i actually found myself enjoying it.. and it wasn't just the cute cowboys ... ;) hahahahah.. mateus would make a cute one too i bet...

It was quite fun.. a bit american, but that was kinda cool at the same time. All the famous bull riders from around the world were there.. or at least america/south america and australia...

We'll hopefully be making a trip to the go-kart track this weekend... speed racer fun!

Am also going to this fighting championship thing in July.. which i find myself enjoying far too much.. hah.. its mixed martial arts, and its really quite full-on if you see it.. but i don't know why, i actually do kinda enjoy sometimes.. haha, agressive tendancies... hehehe

I am also on the look out for tickets to Bill Bailey in July. I saw a big poster for his comedy tour coming through... that will be funny.. he's the long haired guy from Black Books... Thats not so tomboyish, but more of just an update on whats happening.. heh If any of you want to come along!?!

Oh oh, i have work news.. but its a, work in progress, so to speak.. so i will tell of more details if that is confirmed, hopefully soon... :)

Lay Down In the Tall Grass

I've got one more essay to go, and an exam next week, and uni will be finished for the semester... can't wait!

Stumbled on this song today, reminds me of summer...

Skol Wins

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...

Hehehe

(this is an old pic, but hilarious all the same.. and yes, Skol won, possum hasn't returned.. *yay*)

Skol vs Possum

Every night, we go to bed, put Skol in the garage, and while we are sleeping, he puts on his war paint, and starts a battle with the local possum that uses our fence to get to a particular tree that is flowering at the moment.

He'll psych himself up, and then at same time everynight when the possum comes along, he launches himself out of the garage, charges through the dog door and down our courtyard to bark his head off at the thing...

It meanwhile taunts him from up high on the fence.. *nananaNANA* you can't catch me...

But he persists.. and barks and barks and barks, and actually manages to annoy it to the point where it returns growls and hisses and these horrible noises...

Then, he'll fall back to the garage, recompose himself, and then charge out again... to more growls and hisses...

---

If anyone has a suggestion as to how to deter possums from our fence, please let me know!
Rather sleep deprived lately... *yawn*

My parents are awesome

In light of Mothers Day yesterday, I point you to this amazing site... My Parents Were Awesome

I stumbled upon this site, where you can send in pictures of your parents before they had children... heh.. I definitely want to put one up!! or two or three! hehehe...


Check it out!

getting through it all

Whats happening in Lizland of late?

Hmm.. Uni, work, home, Skol, weekends away... and major cash saving cause of interest rate rises and what not.. but we're managing, i hope.. heh

Just trying to get through it all.

Uni has been good, i'm not struggling so much this semester, only have 2 subjects going, but i do have an assignment due Friday, which hmm.. i've looked at.. and have not yet put pen to paper.. hahaha.. yeah, last minute cramming needed. Thats tonight.. and tomorrow night...

Work's fine.. but definitely stuck in a rut. Am hoping to have new opportunities soon... more news on that soon... *wink wink*

Revamp

Well, i did a bit of a revamp here.. but jeez, i've forgotten a lot of things, like html things.. its hard.. hah.. anyway, think i like it for now.

Bit orangey... ochre... Maybe its because its like a sunset in summer, and summer is setting, so think i'm trying to hold onto it a bit more...

Yeah, I'm a summer-girl now!

So things have been good, house is good, skol is good, mateus and i are good... its all good...

There are more changes coming... :)

FAR too long

It has been far too long since I have posted anything up here... I guess I've just been slack...

I will be making more of an effort to post again... actually I think its time I revamped this blog...

Stay tuned!

Blondie

Think it will lighten up in the sun... :)
