31: Hooray!

Today was the end (sort of) of a loooooooooong 3 months of preparing for the Hong Kong symposium. Today was the day I did my neck and back and sent off 70kg worth of manuals to Honkers. Woooohooooooo! Unforunately, people are most likely going to keep registering up until the seminar so I'll still have more manuals to prepare but at least I know the bulk of them are done and have arrived safe and sound at their destination. Oh and I bought this super cute tiny little ramones t-shirt for a new baby I haven't had the pleasure of metting yet! ;) Better remember to send it!

30: Somewhere over the rainbow...

While I'm not a fan of the cold, dreary, rainy weather we've been having, I must say I do love all of the rainbows I've been seeing! I don't know what it is about them but the always put a smile on my face and make my heart feel happy. Even on a cold, dreary, rainy day.

29: Zzzzzzzz

I've been sooooooooo tired lately. I even came home from school early today because I was nearly falling asleep at my computer. Here's my jammies in the dark 5 seconds before I fell asleep. Zzzzzzzz

28: New book

I've finished Red Lotus now. It was interesting. Very, very sad in parts but with a happy ending of course! I got some new books for my birthday from the Keele's so next on my list to read is Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. Can't wait!

27: Lucky girl

Tonight Josh came home with a billion DVD's that his friend had given him. He didn't want them anymore! We assumed they'd all be crappy ones that no one wants to see but no, most of them were awesome! We both ended up with a huge stack each and there's another stack even bigger of left over ones that Josh will give away to other friends. The generousity of people blows me away sometimes! I can't wait to have a massive movie marathon this weekend while the boys are away/at school/work. :)

26: Tim Burton

This morning we slept in then met up with Billows, Sim & Rob for brunch. We were late - as always! And our food took sooooo long to come out! Luckily we were in good company so we didn't mind, although it was pretty cold at our seats outside. After brunch Kell & I went into the city to see the Tim Burton exhibition at Fed Square. First we saw the centre for the moving image and did some fun things like make a flip book and film our own matrix fight scene. Funny stuff! Then off to the Tim part. Loved it! It was soo good! Lots of drawings, paintings, sculptures and costumes. There were dolls from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory there (the ones that get burnt at the start of the factory tour) and costumes from edward scissorhands and alice in wonderland. Very cool! I bought the exhibition book and a pack of cards and I'm going to ask Terry very nicely if he would please buy me The Art of Tim Burton book for christmas because it looks amazing! Then it was time to head to the airport and come home. The flight was perfect this time. Only problem was when I got back I couldn't find my car in long term parking! So I walked around for about half an hour in the rain until I found it. Phew! Silly me!

25: Roller derby

I hung out with Kell this morning while Sim was at work then spent the rest of the day with her just talking and laughing again like old times. Was sooo good to spend some quality time alone with her. I went to the roller derby tonight will Kellie, Crids & Jay. It was so good! I've never been before but I loved it. Definitely a sport I could get into - watching, not playing! I'm too much of a princess to ever play. The girls are so tough! They get pushed over and get straight back up again without even batting an eyelid. I'd be rolling around on the ground crying! haha Afterwards we went out for coffee and cake - or pineapple juice and a bikky for me! Was a great day & night. Not a very good photo but you get the idea!
