Going nuts, back soon...
Aug. 19th, 2009 04:01 pm1. My bum hurts
2. Pay day is Happy Day!!!
3. My mum is excellent and so is her subby hubby :)
4. I have a day off on Friday, and happy plans to fill it :)
5. I also have excellent plans for Saturday AND Sunday! :)
6. I got a referral this afternoon for super world famous person/national treasure and really struggled to not say "OMG are you serious???" and I can't say anything about it, even who it is, but I kind of want to go see where he/she or they live :)
7. Twix PB (like a twix, but with choccie biscuit, and "peanut butter" instead of caramel) is very very disappointing. Sad :(
8. This made me laugh :)

Random animal love
Apr. 23rd, 2009 04:28 pmI dropped off some papers that Ange asked me to print yesterday, and afterwards while leaning against the property wall at the bus stop, I heard a mewing sound, seemingly very close to me. I looked around and could not see a cat, and was stepping forward to have a look down the drain in the gutter in front of me when I heard it again and realised it came from... above??? me. I spun around and yes, it had come from above me, for perched on the top of the somewhat-over-6-foot wall was a rather cute black cat. Completely black, not a speck or whisker of white anywhere on her. I said hello, she chirped back at me and did the kitty flirt of dropping her head to the side and rubbing it along the tiles and then stretching down towards me, so of course I obliged and reached up to give her scritches... I am a wee bit superstitious about black cats... I don't think they're necessarily any more evil than other cats, but I also don't think it hurts to be extra nice and obliging when one so clearly indicates that she would like you to rub behind her ears.

Things to do before I die
Mar. 28th, 2005 09:29 pmI was digging through an old paper journal in search of the quote I've now posted in my front page thing, and discovered this list I wrote about 4 years ago... thought I'd add it here for amusement...

4. Learn to fly a plane or helicopter
5. Restore/renovate an old house
6. Live in the country
(can't imagine why i put this in, am hereby scrapping it!)
7. Grown my own organic veges
8. Stop being neurotic about insignificant things
(have actually achieved this compared to when i wrote it...)
9. Fall in love and stay there
(feel the need to quantify, i want to fall in love and be loved in return, and stay that way as long as it is healthy and right and working, and be insightful enough to know when it's time to move on and let go)
