21: Baby




Today was a much better day at work. Our accounts lady brings her son to work with her and he is such a cutie! He's just turned one and has all of a sudden found out how to get around. Up until now he's been happy to just sit in her office and play but now he's ready for exploring and adventures! He's also recently taken a bit of a liking to me so today while I was plodding away in my office I hear this "herrooo" and turn around to see him there. Sooo cute! Then we waved and clapped and talked to each other for a while. I'll miss him when he doesn't come in anymore - which I think will be soon now that he's getting around so much.

20: Bindi... again!


Today was a pretty crappy day at work. I was tired & hormonal so therefore very emotional and ended up getting upset with something my boss said to me. It was also a crazy busy day. Luckily I have my beautiful little family to come home to at night to make things all better. One look at this cute little guy never fails to bring a smile to my face.

19: Bookworm


Terry had to work today so I had a quiet day in mainly reading my book. I got it for Christmas and had tried to read it a couple of times but just couldn't get into it. Now all of a sudden I'm finding it easy and I love it. It has a lot of Chinese traditions and beliefs in it which I'm finding really interesting because up until now I didn't really know anything about Chinese culture. Now I can't put it down!

17: Crafty things


I'm making a special present for a special somebody at the moment. It's turning out to be a lot harder and more time consuming than I thought it'd be. Hopefully it turns out ok in the end!

16: So many manuals


I've been flat out binding manuals at work today. Exciting stuff. There's so much to get done before Hong Kong. I just can't believe how close it is!

15: Brrrr!


Today was freezing! It poured rain so hard I thought the roof was going to cave in and it hailed twice! I had school and of course a massive downpour happened as soon as I left the building to walk around the corner to my car. I know the rain is great but I'm really hanging out for some warmth! We learnt about editing photos to look like Holga photos tonight. We also learnt about colour balance. The picture is of a movie playing on the screen at school about colour balance. Exciting stuff!

14: Snuggle time


Doing this 365 photo thing has made me realize how boring my life is! I don't mind. I like being boring. :) It just makes it hard to find something interesting enough to take a photo of every day - hence the billion photos of Bindi. Lucky he's so cute! So today I worked then came home and read some of my book then cooked tea then read some more then snuggled Bindi. The end. :)

PS. Speaking of Bindi... last night he was having a little nap and when he woke up he came over to me with one eye closed. We got really worried and tried to see if he was ok. He eventually opened it up and it looked fine & he was fine for the rest of the night. Strange cat! Terry thinks he was trying to be a pirate haha. Will definitely keep an "eye" (bahaha!) on him incase it happens again though.

13: Bob the builder


The card table just wasn't working out for me craft-wise. It was way to soft and squishy! So when I found this $33 desk at big w, I had to get it! Then I had to put it together... was much, much harder than the shelves so I had to call in professional help (Terry! hehe). He ended up doing most of it for me because I was getting too frustrated. Now I have a shiney new desk to do my scrapboooking on. Now I just have to start!

12: The most beautiful day ever!


Today was sooooooooooo nice! Sun was out, sky was blue, birds were chirping! Slept in then spent the rest of the morning hanging out in the backyard with Bindi. We were on a picnic blanket and he kept attacking it because it was making a scrunchy noise on the grass. Sooo cute! And check out the blue sky! More of that please! In the afternoon, Terry & I went for a drive to the beach. Went for a walk & collected some gorgeous tiny pink shells... and by some I mean about a billion! Then had some fish & chips and drove along the coast for a bit more. Tonight I cooked a 3 course meal. Nothing fancy but boy was it yum! Entree was stuffed red onions. Soooo good! Main was homemade yiros' and desert was a double choc self saucing pudding. I actually nearly vomitted at the end because I was so full and it was so sweet. Now I remember why I don't normally eat more than 1 course!

11: Sleepy Saturday


Today was pretty nice so I dusted off my headphones and went for a walk. Was awesome until about half way through when I got a massive headache from my new headphones. They're the kind you shove right in your ear. Not cool. Then Terry came home from work and we just hung out. He was pretty puffed from working so much lately so he had a little nap. :)

10: Bye bye money!


I actually forgot to take a photo today. Woops! Well I did take one but it was just to send to Terry to show him I bought tickets to the Soundwave festival so I'll just have to use that. Don't want to mess this up already. So yay for Soundwave and boo to spending so much money in one hit!

9: Scones


Tonight I made scones! I love scones but I'm too lazy to make them. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever made them... and if I have, I'm sure they turned out hard and yuck. But not last night, oh no, last night they were perfect. Thanks to an amazing, ridiculously easy recipe. 2 seconds to make, 5 seconds to cook - done! And they were oooh so yummy. Soft and fluffy, just as they should be. Not a bad mess for 7 seconds of scone making time hey?!

8: School day


Today was another boring day mostly. I had school tonight, that was fun. The subject I'm doing at the moment is photoshop basics and we learnt how to use masks tonight. Was feeling pretty ordinary by the time I got home though. Really tired, aching leg and weird ovary pain. Excellent.

7: Boring day


Nothing really exciting happened today. I think the highlight was going to Spotlight's 20% off sale where I spent more money than I should have. :) Then there was work of course (boriiing). Then I got my nails done. (hence the boring picture.) Then I had tea and went to bed for a giant d&m with the hubby. Talking is good. :) Hopefully tomorrow is more exciting!

6: Craft station part 2!


Now it's complete! Sort of... bought a card table and chair today but the card table has a soft squidgy top which is no good for craft of any sort. So I need to buy some mdf to make a hard top for it. This will do for now though. I even made my first scrapbook page last night! Then I realised I haven't printed any photos to put on it yet.. haha oops! Task for today: print photos!

5: Craft station part 1!


Finally decided what to do with all my birthday monday today - invest in a craft station! Up until now, all of my bits and bobs have lived in a falling apart vacuum cleaner box... not the best way to store paper and other such things! Not very conductive to creativity either! So I went on a hunt for a bookcase, storage boxes, a desk & chair. All on a teeny, tiny budget. Success! I found a bookshelf and storage items from a few cheap shops for next to nothing. Oh and the shelf came flat packed so I put it together myself! :D Couldn't find a decent cheap desk tho unfortunately. But all is not lost! Stay tuned for the finished product tomorrow...

4: Lazy day


Today was a lazy day. I had to leave home early so they could auction our house off (it didn't sell). I bought heaps more scrapbooking stuff then came home and slept for 3 hours. I wasn't feeling well and must've needed it! I would've kept sleeping but Terry came home from work and woke me up. The rest of the day was just as lazy. Snuggled on the couch with my hubby & kitty. Was lovely!

3: Yay for Friday!




I saw this truck on the way to work this morning. Was a bit creepy. Had toys and things on the front as well. Not sure what it was for.

Tonight is cleanfest part 4 in preparation for the auction of our house in the morning. I really hope it's sold so we don't have to keep having open inspections every weekend. I'm over the privacy invasion.

2: Day after birthday



Back to work today. Boo! I'm feeling in a bit of a rut at work at the moment. Hoping things will get better otherwise I might start looking for another job after Hong Kong.

Tonight I spent one of my birthday vouchers. Bought a Billy Joel DVD with all of his filmclips on it :D and a scrapbook. I originally bought it to put Europe photos in but I might make a scrapbook of Terry & I instead. Going to spotlight to buy supplies tomorrow.
