Hurrah!

Little improvements make me happy. The time is correct on my blog! I was outraged when my first post for 2009 was dated December 31st, 2008. I'd forgotten to fix it. All done now!

These are another of my favourite shoes. Also silver flats. Fully sequinned! From a random shop at Pacific Fair in QLD. On a side note our bus driver from motel to shops was hilarious. She spoke to everyone over the speaker saying such random things as 'there's macky wackys on the left for all your hangover needs' (McDonalds) and called Pacific Fair 'Packy Wacky'.. then she gave out buy 1 get 1 free coffee cards for a cafe in the centre... what a champ! If only more people you come across just briefly were so cheery and able to put a smile on your face.

oh yes, the shoes.

boo. these kind of photos always bring up a problem in the background. This one being that the wall behind the shoes needs a touch up paint job. lol.

Christmas!

our first xmas tree :)

This is how I spent my Christmas.. I love this time of celebration!!

Christmas Eve was spent at Mum and Gary's (stepdad) house with Gary's family. Dinner was super yum.. all the usual Christmas delights.. I put so much on my plate and usually wouldn't get close to finishing (the old 'eyes are bigger than the belly' thing) but this year I stayed committed and finishing the whole damn plate. and it was fantabulous.

Up at 7.10 am for presents! Jorja is 6, so gets uber excited about Santa and all the jazz, so Christmas morning is always fun.

Then down to Warrnambool for Xmas with all my family.. Nick and I got confused by the new Geelong bypass roads and decided we were going the wrong way when we weren't and wasted an hour and a half and screamed at each other.. but we got there in the end!

So Dad's family is HUGE.. he is one of eleven. And there are 30 grandkids
As Dad's family is so huge you never get to see everyone, but we did pretty well this year! I think we actually saw all of our aunties and uncles! Christmas is always spent their with lots of conversation and competitiveness in games, particularly with the males. Always cricket and handjacks. And cards too this year.

Dinner at Nan's was great. We all went nuts blowing blowers and popping poppers at the dinner table. Our guts were hurting from all the laughing! I love wearing the silly paper hats and how atrocious the jokes from the poppers are. We stayed in Warrnambool until the 29th staying with Nan. A good mini break.

Merry Christmas!

Shopping

Managed to get a few xmas pressies today. Dad, Karen, Tyler and Ebony hooray! That's my Dad & stepmum and 2 half (never say that, but better this once for explaining sake) siblings. I also got myself some tops yay. And upgraded my phone!! It's a new Sony Ericsson.. I love it!

This is what I wore today. Not terribly exciting but I liked it. I'd just got out of the shower, so no head today haha.

GIGANTO APPLE

behold..

Simon just brought home the apple to end all apples. i like my apples green and crunchy only. aka granny smith. i tried to take a photo to show just how massive it is... it's the biggest i've ever seen, by far!!

random enough for ya?

You're odd.. and so are your socks

This post may just blow your mind it is that interesting. I coloured up my day with odd socks at work. i love colourful socks. especially worn odd.


HURRAY. These shoes made too much noise on the concrete floor of the storeroom though. Converse better.

*title of post is an actual Simon quote. What a hoot!!

Jump shot, I'm joining in... *

So Cotton Socks and Couch Shopper (two neat blogs I stumbled upon, a bf & gf team I believe) have put the challenge out to post a jump shop.
very cool idea, kudos.

It just so happens I have one from a long time ago I will post! I think it was 2005 even. Old as. This is evidenced by my short hair and very skater clothing lol. The secret to getting a good jump shot me and my friend finally discovered when we weren't quick enough with our average camera, is to get a run up. Then you have time whilst running to snap the photo. Genius.

* I don't usually obscure my face, i just look so hideous here I had to. Super skinny (back then) + jumping = face not look so attractive.
