bad blogger, bad blogger!

If you have seen the movie Liar Liar that is me scolding and slapping myself ala Jim Carrey (just replacing 'baby' with 'blogger')

I can pretty much scrub off 'regularly blogging' from my list!

It's a bit sucky, but it does mean that I have been busy and had my mind on other things which is mostly good!

I have been very busy with lots of social stuff, seeing friends all the time, blah blah blah... April is also super packed.

I have a couple of posts in my head, they will come over the next few days WOO!

this is a very rushed and kinda lame and boring post. I just got a big attack of the blogging guilts. better posts will come. WITH PHOTOS. amazing. I can use technology again!!!

YAY.

welcome home pootruck!

it's SO nice to have a best friend back.

(but another one leaves for two years in about 6 weeks. boo!)



ps. now THIS is how my hair should always look lol.

Elly

On the weekend, I lost a friend.

One of those friends who you are always happy to see. Who is always happy to see you.

Who is literally so beautiful she takes your breath away.

Who is funny and crazy and talented and smart.

My partner in defense. The GK to my GD.

She will be very much missed.

I love you chicky xx

Alcomohol..

So I think I might give up the old getting drunk thing for a while.

I am just sick of feeling revolting the next day.

I don't always have a hangover, but I'm over wasting half the day feeling horrid.

So now more drinking for Hayley Bash for a while. I might have one or two, but no more.
I wanted to post about it as extra incentive to stick to it!

I'm looking forward to saving money too. I only drink spirits which is insanely expensive!

Does anyone else have an opinion on alcohol intake? Do you never drink? Do you limit your intake?

Why? How have you found the experience?

My Blog

So when I started this blog, it was pretty random and light!

Now I have suffered a massive loss in my life and some of my posts might be tinged with sadness. I would like to post about Simon sometimes, because he will always be a part of me and I am never going to forget about him as a way to cope.

So maybe my blog will be a bit more like this...

HAYLEY BASH - life - fun - randomness - grief - clothes - simon - happy - sad - life

Stick with me?

city city

Simon and I are off to the city this arvo. His work Christmas part is tonight. Last year it was 25K on
the tab - food and drink galore! So my hopes are high that tonight will be very fun indeed.
We have booked a hotel room so we can make the most of the weekend and not have to bother with a taxi home.

I have finally put my camera in to be fixed!!! It had 2 days left on it's manufacturers warranty - phew!
I did purchase an extended warranty tho, if I had have been a bit more lazy it would've been ok, but I figure the manufacture's warranty is even better. So not too much longer without my camera hopefully!
I do have my brother Nick's tho, he barely uses it. I bought it for him for his 21st birthday in July. It's not a bad little camera, although I'm convinced it takes shocking photos of me, I always look really red.

So I'll have some outfit photos in the next few days. I want a different word than 'outfit' - I hardly wear anything special enough for such a word. What can it be.. Maybe I'll just suck it up and use the damn word lol.

Cup Day!

I went to the cup today with my fabulous uncle Justin. He's a very generous, hilarious man. He's also gay, single and childless which means his nieces and nephews (all 30 of us!) get spoilt. Hence, my 2nd Melbourne Cup in a row. I would have to say i did my hair THE BEST I've ever seen my hair in 22 years. Definitely the best DIY-style I remember. Go me! Wish my camera wasn't screwed so I could upload a photo. Really must get it fixed.

I have a bit of sunburn on my neck.. dammit! I HATE being burnt. I have two things I really can't stand people willingly doing to their bodies.. burning their skin and smoking cigarettes. Sorry to anyone offended, but also not. Thus, I'm mad I forgot sunscreen. Thank GOSH there is SPF in my foundation, I couldn't stand having a burnt face.

There were many interesting sites to see today at Flemington. Very disappointed the only person of note I saw was John Elliot (former president of the carlton football club) - boring!! The best part of the day for me is looking at what everyone is wearing - the girls particularly of course. Today I feel there weren't too many bad hats/fascinators - lots of really cute ones. There were girls wearing dresses certainly not suited for their shape/size. I hope I wasn't one of them lol. It's got to be one of the biggest crimes out there in the clothing world, not dressing for your body. I try to be conscious of it... I'm not the rake I once was, but I can still wear mostly what I want I guess. I think I'm sometimes too harsh on myself and veto certain outfits when I should just embrace my figure and wear whatever! But that is another long debated subject, good old body image.

All this talk about clothes is going to bring me to a new post.

BTW, i did terrible betting. Got 1 third and 1 second - and Justin picked the 2nd!

ummm..

I don't really have that much to say today... I got my dress from etsy wooo.
it's pretty cool! It may be a bit big in the skirt part but i'll try to figure that out.
all in all it's very cute. so tonight is one of those nights were we had 1-3 plans and
ended up doing none of them. 1. was to dye our hair (me and simon i'm talking about here)
2. maybe check out new shoppo or 3. watch a movie.
real night? simon sleeping on the couch (which is good, he really needs the sleep, stressful week.. and he'd be comfy, our couch is the bomb) and i'm on the laptop! that's ok tho.. got a big weekend coming up so glad for the rest.
I really need a haircut.. i think it's been 5-6 months since i've had one whhhew. My hair has grown a crapload. it was this short
And that's actually probably with an inch of growth...
now it's nearly as long as it's ever been.. it's been nipple length roffle. so
nearly there. i usually get too annoyed by long hair and chop it to shoulder length but i'm persevering this time. gonna grow it as long as possible to experience it, say h'hey my hair is mega long' and then chop it probs for good. i think shoulder-ish length is good. although if I could rock hair like pink's, that would be so great.
also, hurry up and wash out purple, i want red now!!!
gosh enough about hair perhaps.
first photo upload how excitement, wonder what it will look like.
also, gonna have a garage sale. if you wanna get rid of some shit, combine and sell!
we're selling a heap of clothes.

thumbs up: simon's sausage rolls.. good job bebe,
thumbs down: house envy.. haha. all in good time Hailz.

buggered

Had far too many late nights in a row! last nite i went to see my fave band simple plan. [haters laugh now.. and end]
i had a freakin sweet time, I was quite close to the front. Pretty proud to say I was definitely enjoying it the most of the people around me.. I can jump quite high when i want to evidently. And I defintely knew the most words.. old and new songs.. tsk tsk if you didn't. Also, being in the 'mosh' is a very interesting lesson in people and their habits. For example, don't push right up to the front rudely if you didn't stay there and wait. Anyone who tried to shove past me met with my back and strong resistance. NO DEAL! Also, don't.wear.thongs. seriously? how ridiculous. And don't get a prime position just to stand there and hug your boyfriend.. have some fun! With so many people dancing and jumping around you, how could you see properly anyway standing still... lame!
So I went with my bro Nick... he's a giant at 6ft5 so he was quite nice in letting a very vertically challenged girl in front of him. We also had a nice chat as we sank some bevvies before the show. We managed to catch The Getaway Plan's final song.. too busy talking lol.... So YAY, SP!

Had an exhausting day.. had a funeral to attend. Don't want to go on about it really, bit of a downer... love you russell and we will all really miss you and your cheeriness and caring nature.

thumbs up: our couch. i love it. i'm sitting on it... couldn't think of anything else.
thumbs down: an error notice coming up each time i post a blog entry. it works anyway but ggrr.. is that normal?

need to sleep

ebut first i want to document how happy I am that my mixed netball team were last night crowned division 1 premiers!!! YES!! If you know me, you know my netball is very important to me... so I'm really glad we won. also because we narrowly beat our biggest rivals.. we hate them lol. they were the only team to beat us all season, 1 loss. Domination, Thunderstruck!!! (i love our team name, good job self for thinking of it). Also my brothers team played their mixed final tonight and won!!! And nick got MVP - he is a star netballer... so all round great season for us 'bashells'!!

ooooh and i got my costume for our housewarming in the mail today. i'm soooo relieved, it's perfect! I'm getting really excited for the party, it should be awesome!!

thumbs up: winning grand finals of course! :)
thumbs down: pat hurting his leg, gggaaayyy!

saturday morning

I always have so many plans in my head for what I want to do on Saturdays..
they are just that one full day that I have to do what I want! Generally I have a bit
of a sleep in.. alarm was set for 9.30 but got revised to 10.30 when simon got home
at 4am and we chatted for an hour. We then normally read the paper and get stuck into
an hour or two or three of housework/gardening.. then, whatever! I like to see Mum and Jorja if I can. Which I would like to do today. I also plan to go shopping for decorations for our housewarming - halloween themed! We have a fair few decorations already but I haven't
checked out everywhere. Also tomoro I am participating in the ROMP http://www.melbournecityromp.com.au ... our team is the rockstar rompers.. so I have to sort out my rockstar outfit today! I just wanna buy a little toy guitar to make it obvious what I am haha. Everything else will just come from my wardrobe.. I am pretty much a rockstar after all ;)
Pussycat Dolls are currently on video hits.. at least the lead singer - nicole? - doesn't mime the verses.. seriously they are just a glorified dancing troupe. anywho. So yeah my whole point was to say even thougth I am filled with plans.. I've been on my laptop for an hour already.. this is enough! Off to finish cleaning out my wardrobe and getting the house looking lovely, then I can go shopping!!! And see the most beautiful little girl in the world, my little sis Jorja.

thumbs up: my dress ordered on etsy.com.. can't wait to get it!
thumbs down: not knowing where my tax stuff is AGAIN!
