Well. So I've been a pretty thin presence on LJ lately - and on my other blog too, actually. Um, exhaustion, lack of time, general stress - I blame it all ;) Frankly I suck at keeping up with one blog, let alone two! I haven't been reading all that much lately either - been having trouble sticking with a book. I can't even count how many have ( Read more... )

Okay so the citizenship test was a bit of a laugh - seriously, the questions (multiple choice!!!!!) nearly made me crack up; I think whoever wrote them was a) bored and b) had a sense of humour, not that many of the immigrants would have picked up on it. Being a native English speaker from a country very similar to Canada (and being involved in ( Read more... )

I ended up staying home this weekend - Adam went north to the cottage on his own, and is coming back with his dad this evening - and I'll tell you why. I needed to study ( Read more... )

I don't know why, but I feel really sad today. It's Monday and a public holiday - Thanksgiving - and I've had a great weekend so far, so you'd think I'd be in better spirits. But for some reason my head feels achy and I feel like I'm going to cry ( Read more... )

Things are chugging along and we've got a few things done:

- We picked up our wedding rings on Friday after work; they're nice and comfy and we're pleased :)

- We saw Inception - Adam didn't like it, big surprise there, but I did. It's quite intense and sad at the end and has one of those open endings that made the entire audience exclaim with a ( Read more... )

So, bummer, complete bummer, I found out I'm not enrolled to vote anymore and it's too late to enrol. I had to call the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission - did I get that right?) the other day because I tried searching for my enrolment on their website but got nothing - it's like being told you don't exist! I'm really annoyed with myself. ( Read more... )

I've had an awful day at work and got to go home early - don't worry, it'll be okay, and I'm 100% supported, but I'm just one of those sensitive, emotional people who cry fairly easily (which sucks, by the way - anyone else like this who finds it just as inconvenient as I do ( Read more... )

I have a new nephew! My big sis Tara gave birth to a beautiful bouncing boy ... um, not sure of the date exactly because of the time difference, but it was Wednesday my time! Hm. Should find that out...
