*stuff* April 2, 2009

1. I rode 3.7 km’s on my bike. My dog Moe the Ferocious tagged along. He was a tad exhausted by the end of it!

2. Going to watch True Blood (the encore version for this week) in about 1.5 hrs or so. Yay.

3. New category stories is up – the 1st April Category is “Bedtime Rituals”. Come along and check it out at www.categorystories.wordpress.com – we have a totally rad sponsor too, the Paper Pixie   etsy store!

4. This is what I did done make for said 1st April Category….mainly using a Q-Tea kit from earlier this year, with a few other random bits added on.

5. I am currently reading the book The TIme Travellers Wifeand it will be the 11thbook I have read so far this year. The book is creeping me out though at the moment – not sure if I like it or not. I did however recently read both The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, and both were freaking AMAZING books – do read if you can!

6. I can’t wait until my 4th Cousin (once removed) Barak Obama comes to our BBQ. He and Michelle are a bit busy in London at the mo, dodging angry purlons hurled by feisty feral mob type folks. So after all the London-eydramatics, I’m sure they’d both be up for a coldie and a snag on their way back home….and some Changs Cruncy Noodle salad.***

7. Each of these points references a number in them. Including this one with a random number 9 (that is my fave number).

Have a happy happy pre-weekend kids!

OH just gotta share this I found today when I wastrawling the net for shirtless hotties to share on the hot guy thread at SIS researching ocean wildlife for a school assignment.

Fine specimen hey. He is apparently called the Gerardius Bulteriam. Very rare.

 

 

• ** yes, for those who have emailed me, I did in fact figure that the email was an April Fools joke – even if it did arrive to my inbox after 12noon on the 1st. It just really really REALLY pisses me off that facebook is spamming people like that – I have a low opinion of facebook already (security failings, accessibility issues, general spam eminating from there), so having another junk email to wade through yesterday just got me rather shitty. AND I still didn’t (and refuse to) click the link!!

*New* March 2, 2009

So – do you likey the new blog? I was a bit over the blognow functions, and having used wordpress with the category stories blog, I have been liking it very much – it has tags to sort the posts, spell check (that’ll make a difference!), nice easy links in the side, and especially as it is much easier for people to comment now. So all you non-scrappy readers (yes KW – I now you are there laughing that your life is much better than mine - and Happy Birthday for yesterday!) you can just click on the “comments” word at the bottom of this post and you can say HI. Just like that. Nice hey.

And speaking of Category Stories, – HURRAY- the new prompt is upiddlyup at The Blog – go check it out.

The first category for March is Precious Things, and we have a totally FANTASTIC sponsor – www.nutandbee.etsy.com who have donated a voucher.

Not much else to report.

My shitful week continued right up until yesterday morning. I did get some painting done but there were so many *issewes* I was ready to chuck it in (like that the freaking roller tray was TOO SMALL for the new roller I purchased, which I had found out AFTER I had tipped paint in and started to roll – and I was on rations for the paint as there wouldn’t be much left after the 2nd coat – wasn’t THAT just the gravy on the chicken when I was trying to get the feature colour painted in the heat….*grrrrr*). Anyway, the feature colour is now done, so I just have to go hit the other 3 walls with white now. joy.

So I think it just might have been February was cursed or something. I have much higher hopes for March bringing GOOD THINGS.

Like Orlando Bloom dropping in to say high.

You know, easily obtainable stuff like that. *ahem*.

Actually I am off to Syd-a-nee for work next week which will be great – two nighter this time YAY me. Smiggle here I come. And Napoleon. And perusing the wares at DJ’s. And going to Tempt. Although, I think my current budgetary restrictions mean that only a new bag is in my future – I am tossing up between some of the ace Kathy Van Zeeland totes or a new Guess bag. I’ll have to see what takes my fancy when I get to the big smoke. Although I could always get lucky and find some Manolo mary janes in black. That fit me. For $75. Or something. That would make it a good month….

OK, back to the regularly scheduled programming. Of not much.

Ciao!
