I did my knee in on Wednesday - slammed it against the sharp edge of my desk drawers. Doesn't sound too bad, but bloody hell, I have no idea what I've done to it ... I must've bruised the bone or something, I think. It's been killing me, and I've been dealing with it the last couple of days with ice and Nurofen. The most annoying part of all this?

It's taken me a while to get around to writing about it, but I had a fabulous weekend - went to Melbourne with my sister and a group of friends to see 'Wicked'. I saw it on Broadway in 2005, but I didn't remember too much of it, and parts of it were a total surprise! Suffice to say, I loved it. Melbourne's one of my favourite places to visit, and ( Read more... )

It's been SO hard getting out of bed lately, so I decided to try something different this week. Instead of my alarm going off at 7 and hitting the snooze until 7.30, at which point I finally grumble my way out of bed, I set my alarm for 6.30, slipped on booties, a snuggly robe and went out in to the TV room (I can't find the remote for my bedroom ( Read more... )

At least three times a day, without fail, this woman I work with walks into my office, knocks on thin air four times and says "ka-nock, ka-nock".

Am I wrong to find this ... tedious?

So, I bought this book "1000 Places to See in the US and Canada Before You Die". It looks pretty cool from the little I've read of it so far, and I'll definitely have a look at it before I go back to the US and see what I'm missing out on! BUT - it has me depressed.

Brooke said to me when she heard about the purchase "I wonder how many things you ( Read more... )

 So I just ate lunch (ravioli, my favourite) and I'm still incredibly hungry. This is okay, because I still have most of my breakfast bar left but ... sigh. I still can't eat anything BUT breakfast bar for another 5 hours, so it has to last me, dammit ( Read more... )

I graduated on Friday! I left work at lunch, came home to have some lunch and get ready, then Brooke and I headed into QPAC together. We arrived at around 4 and had to wait around for about half an hour because the robes weren't ready yet - but I'm glad we got there early, because when I came back out out, dressed, registered and ready, the line ( Read more... )

 
So, I do that little 'savings trick' where you put coins away in a separate purse at the end of each day. I went in about a month ago and deposited about $60 in coins. The woman sighed as she looked at them and said "oh, boy." Then, shaking her head, she told me to start sorting the coins into denominations (which I would have done, if I'd had any ( Read more... )

So I have a Qantas Frequent Flyer Amex - you get one point per dollar spent, and there's an annual card fee of $95. I LOVE getting my points each month, but lately if there's another Frequent Flyer card with a smaller fee. So I had a look on the Qantas website, and discovered mine's actually the best deal - most of the other cards you only get half ( Read more... )

Another nice weekend. On Saturday morning I slept in - it was a big week, and I really needed it, and didn't wake up till my alarm went off at 10. Bliss, and I think I could have slept all day if not for the alarm! Anyway, Brooke came over at about 12 so I basically lazed around and ate breakfast and so on until then. We had discussed facials or ( Read more... )
