Everyone needs a good opshop!!

I just spent $25 and 1 n half hrs chilling out on the floor of my local op shop reading second hand books! Ah, hows the serenity. I should have been doing laundry o tiding the house - but :P that will all wait! I should be doing it now but here I am blogging. . .

I have so many things to blog about that I dont know where to start and if I try and blog them all today it will take me two weeks to get around actually post this blog so all I am going to say (and then housework here I come) is I love that I am blogging. When going about my day I cant help but think "what part of my day is worth blogging" this leads me to pay more attention to the details and take notice os the unusual.

The little monster I created also helps me to do this as even though he is not even really talking yet he points to things all day. He notices things that i dont even see and it is wonderful to watch the world through his eyes.

I realise I am not saying anything profound or even original but I really am doing these things every day and it has changed how I feel about the world and my place in it! So I challenge you all to look harder and notice more (you dont even really need to slow down I run all day).

Just see what you can see in your everyday lives that you didnt see yesterday.

friend wanted. . .pants optional

Today I told Miss Rae Rillie that she was such a great friend that I dont even fell the need to put pants on when she is around. She then suggested that I should put up a notice looking for more friends that would allow me to be pantless. Hence the pic!!

So while on the topic of friends I want to say a quick hey and THANKS to all the amazing friends I have - I honestly dont know how I got so blessed with so many strong independent kick ass girlfriends in this crazy world!! Could do what I do with out all of you!!

Could say more but it would just get sappy and I should go to bed!

The Perfect Weekend!

I dont even know how it happens sometimes but once in a while, even in this CAZY world you can manage to get a couple of days in a row where you simply cant wipe the smile off your face!

And that is how I found myself this weekend.

With wedding business on Saturday - a stunning grassy outcrop over the ocean on Magnetic Island, guests all in white, Bride and Groom in purple, seafood, palm trees, rolling waves, it was a simply magic day!

And today has been a day I could even sneak into my top ten days ever - just hanging out at home with my best buddy in the world! Bub has been a bit grumpy and out of sorts all week (those dam teeth!) But today he was so happy from brekky to bedtime! We read books and played with the hose, walked on the beach and had a picnic by the sea, laughed and laughed and barked and barked! And even had time for us both to nap.

Then, to top it all off he went to bed without any real complaints and I have been on my computer ever since reading some VERY inspirational blogs. OH and I found a new publication that I want to get my hands on ASAP. You should all check out Dumbo Feather.

I do find though that there is a fine line between inspirational and overwhelming. Read a good blog and I go "Hm I should blog tonight" read another one and "I should TOTES blog right now - and start that art thing I have been thinking about all weekend" read a couple more (especially one from a lady who has 7 of her own running blogs, all of which she has posted to in the last 36 hrs) and it is more "I don't think I compare to these - maybe I wont blog at all anymore."

Never the less - here I am - having a go - throwing my hat in ring! In more ways then one this weekend but I will tell you about the other few things when they come to the light a little more.

In the meantime I hope everyone had half as good a weekend as I did!! :)

some days its just all too hard!

I pretty much played hooky yesterday - i failed to do much uni and i succeeded in not doing a hell of a lot at work either! Why?? Because it just all seemed too hard - i wanted to hide in a little hole and just sit still for a minute!

Today is not much better though I have made some improvements to the state of our house!

This pic is me at Laneway Festival earlier in the year and I keep thinking about it yesterday because it is just how I felt all day - simply spent!

Today however I am going to get rid of the junk in my car (stuff for vinnies) and I have already cleaned the floor and done some laundry, so I am feeling much more accomplished! I am still pissed at myself for having NO $$$ in my bank account. You would think by now I would be better with money - and I have been of late but this week I bought myself a bike - which is awesome and I am determined to go riding today (with Asti in his little seat on the back!!) - but I some how miscalcuated my financial situation and am now not sure how I am going to put fuel in the car between now and Friday. Lucky the bike is a free mode of transport!

I realise I am saying a lot of not much but I am just forcing myself to Blog! And hopefully in the next few blogs I will refocus and say something worth while.

So in the meantime . . .Peace out :)

time is FLYING!

That last post was really written on February 20 - i just hadn't posted it so I could come back the following day and spell check and reread it - but here we are now April 11 and I hadn't been back until tonight.

Why am I so bad at keeping the promises I make to myself? I need to value my own opinion more and maybe then I will honor the tasks I set for myself better. My first attempt includes this blog - but I need to shut my computer down now and close my eyes before they fall out of my head so I will be back to finish this post tomorrow!
