Dress Ups.

Brianna came across this photo in one of her old albums. Every time we look at it we burst out laughing and don't stop. I do not really remember this but I am sure we were having such fun!
Anita use to live up the road from us and we made great childhood memories in our cosy little cul-de-sac of Badenoch Ave.
Anita had obviously stolen all the "good" dress ups first and left Bri and myself to rummage through the duds. Hence Brianna resorting to a basket on her head and Me ...What on earth is on my head?! I can just imagine them both saying to me "Put this sheet over your face...yeah that looks better!"
I might get Anita to show me how to apply make-up more often.
I am glad someone took the time to capture this.

Joys of Templates.

Well Michelle and I are just full of ideas. I seem to talk alot about michelle. Maybe because she is just so brilliant. Anywho. Seeings as I am heading away for a year I wanted to seriously begin journal writing. We then decided to come up with a brief template that we have to fill in daily and send to each other. "The Travelling Template". That way we shall know what is going on in the land of each others existence. We are both thrilled about the idea. We already started it as we could not wait. The template is as follows:

Date:
My first thought this morning was:
The weather today was:
I wore:
My favourite part of the day was:
The best thing I ate today was:
I saw:
Current crush (other than Johnny):
My musical experience of the day:
Tonight:
My day can be summed up by this word:
PS: (max. one sentence)
See you in _____________.

Its quick, easy and fun and will be such a laugh to look back on.

So I have been watching and saving every penny that enters my hands. I was not spending money on anything but petrol. I would use my coupons to claim my free feast at uni. (Barely a feast. You get one thing a week. This week was a bottle of water) This stingy behaviour lasted over a month.
Then I cracked. Just like that. I was too sad. So I went wild and purchased a decent lunch at uni, a jacket, stockings, mittens and a guitar. I mean mittens? What was I thinking. All in one night. My goodness. I thought this would make me happy but it only made me feel ill after I looked at my bank account.
Anyway let it be known that I will not be doing that again whilst I am frantically trying to save.

10 Things I Love About My Mum

1. She will do anything for her girls
2. The endless amount of house work she indulges in
3. She had better legs than me when she was 18
4. She's a bit of a dork
5. She does nothing more than raise an eyebrow at my interesting wardrobe
6. She is an incredible cook and no one's food is as good as hers
7. How she chimes in on the sisterly bonding moments
8. How she has to know at 7am in the morning whether we will be in for dinner
9. The amount of times she says "TAKE YOUR WASHING UP" knowing that she will always end up doing it
10. How she always tells me she loves me

I love her dearly. Happy Mothers Day.
Thanks for being a good Mum.

Finders Keepers.

So today Mich and I mastered procrastination and went venturing into the city.
What great fun we had!
We went to the Finders Keepers markets which was full of quirky goodness. We both quenched out indie thirst.
Michelle enjoyed her usual scanning for tasty men in hats.
The highlight for me was "Charlie Mayfair" a great folk/indie/pop band from Brisbane. Good kids.
We planned our future of living in Newtown whilst we indulged in BLT's.
We walked past a vibrant house with a bunch of red heads selling 2nd hand fun on their verandah. Mich got a little awkward with Johnny and made us leave briskly. She says that she can't help but think of their children together and this behaviour happens most times she locks eyes with a fellow red head!
Such an enjoyable day even if I do not pass my barrier exam on tuesday. O the sacrifices I make.

Dear uni.
I don't like you much.
I might one day.
Good talk.

One Step Closer

I paid my flight for the Londontown. I finish my exams six days before I leave. Just enough time to pack my life into one 20kg bag. I feel far more nervous than excited which worries me a little.

A Guitar Never Strummed

Today I lost a bidding war on ebay. It was so sad. I had my eye on this fender steel string acoustic for days! Then some big shot came along at the last minute and doubled my price. sigh What a silly man.

"A Grateful Heart is a Beginning of Greatness"

I believe the hardest thing in life would be to feel lonely.

How grateful I am for My Family.



So grateful am I for friendships.



I am grateful for laughter



For bad times and good



and again, thank goodness for music!
