Best Read

I am reading As The Crow Flies by Jeffrey Archer and I cant put the book down!! Seriously, the best read I’ve had in ages!
To think I’ve had the book in my possession for 4 years and had not given it the time of day because it’s one fat arse book. It scared me. When I lived in STockholm I lent The Five People you Meet in Heaven to my good friend Emily and in exchange she lent me As the Crow Flies. She read the book and returned it where as I in the other hand didnt and as a result the book ended up in Australia with me after I moved. I feel so bad for being such a slack friend. When I finish reading the book I think I might post her a new copy of the book because I want too keep the copy I’m reading to keep little piece of one of my sweetest friends. I hope she doesnt mind.
I cant wait to read more books by Jeffrey Archer!

V- Day

Instead of trying to find a restaurant for a V-day dinner we decided to stay home and cook something..

On the menu we had…

For starters: Turkish bread with dukkah
Main: Porter Steak, Grilled with Potato Gratin swedish style
Dessert: Chocolate covered strawberries

It was delish.

Even though my attempts at getting the hubby nice gifts failed miserably we still had a lovely time. Oh and the hubby got me a nancybird bag!

yawn

i hate it when you are talking to someone and they wont stop yawning!
the worst part is that you know they are not tired because they weren’t yawning beforehand…
so either i am reeeeally boring
or they are trying to repel me.

FB

Facebook is giving me the shits.
Seriously I cant believe people have updates like..
_______ _______ is going to bed.
_______ _______ is having lunch.
Argh, I would rather hear about your smelly farts!!

tits

Recently I’ve had Gok overload…
Apparently tits are getting bigger and bigger. Obviously due to the fact that we are getting fatter, I guess.
Why are people so obsessed with boobs!?!
Personally I hate them. They are in the way. You have to wear uncomfortable bras with underwires to get support. They get sore during certain times of the month. What’s the joy in that? Unless of course you are some male fondling them!
The way I see it….. eventually we will have to say bye to tits!! With the high rate of breast cancer now a days it’s going to get to the point where women will be recommended to get a prophylactic mastectomy.

welcome 2010!

Happy New Year!

This year is going to be interesting and challenging.
1. Our terrace is being built. I believe the frame is almost complete. Its exciting but its going to be a major change. I am sooooo used to living close to the city and not having to rely on a car to get around. Once we move, which we are looking at June/July, we are going to be in the burbs and will need a car to get around.

2. I think I work for a great company. Everyone is super nice. And for a change I can say that I am happy with my pay. The only problem is that I would like to eventually move into a different role. Anything that does not involv dealing with clients!! Seriously some people are so inconsiderate!!

Things that I’d like to do this year are..
1. Go to Sweden. Last year we went to visit my family now its Jimmy’s turn to see his family. But considering the house is going to be ready mid-year it may prove to be hard. We might have to wait til’ next year.
2. Travel to somewhere in Aus I havent been before.
3. Save save save and save money.
4. Not drink so much alcohol. Last year I saw a new doctor and she made a huge deal because my blood test showed abnormal liver function. Its always been abnormal but because she didnt know my history she made a big deal and freaked me out.

Last year I posted a list of things I’d have liked to accomplish last year. I am going to scratch out the things I did, meaning the things that didnt get done will be carried out to this years list…and a couple seem to be the same as usual!

1. the job situation has to change; either i get a nice pay rise or i find myself a new job
2. i must eat more veges and fruit. i am not saying that i am going to diet, i am simply saying that i need to eat healthier.
3. i need to find time to be more active, that is whether i walk to and from work more or simply visit that little gym in the building. after all we do pay a shit load of money for rent and the gym was one of the reasons why we justified it.
4. i havent seen da familia in 2 years so i would like to go to the us and possibly travel to mexico while i am there
5. it would be nice to get a car
6. maybe even finally take the big step to build a house
7. i want to go to sydney
8. i need to find some kind of a hobby or just want to be good at something
9. maybe even do a course in something (if i can afford it)
10. a brand new laptop would be nice as mine is pretty ancient now
11. most important i want to be happy!

Miss is now Mrs

Miss Gossiplounge is now Mrs EjectBMX.
We eloped in NYC on October 22nd.

exciting

there are a couple of things invading my mind right now, all good, and one by one i’ve been able to scratch most of them from the list.

first;  jimmy finally got his visa sorted! it ONLY took 8 friggin months!

second; we finally signed contracts for the terrace!!  i cant believe in around 10 months we’ll be home owners!

third; we are going overseas soon! yay!! i cant wait!! we are going to san francisco, new york city, and el paso to visit the family of course. 

on a completely different note. how friggin cute is this bag! luv it!

swine flu

last week more then half of the office was off sick with the flu. which meant that i had to pretty much cover the floor.

i started to feel sick at the end of last week but felt like i couldn’t afford to be sick so i soldiered on.

this week on tuesday the girls thought i looked pale and thought i had a temp. so i was off wed, thu, and fri.

i saw the doctor on thursday and she told me i had the flu. infact she said that 99% of the flu going around is the swine flu so they recommend that you stay home for 7 days because it is very contagious.

geez who can just have a week off. plus most of the office already had it anyway.

i told her that i started to feel bad at the end of last week but i think she didnt believe me. she thought that i was just trying to talk her out of forcing me to have a week off.  haha

bag lady

I luv Nancy Bird bags.

I bought my first Nancy Bird bag in 2005.

I got so many compliments while I lived in Sweden so as soon as I got back I knew I had to get me another one.

The designs have really evolved!

I Finally ordered  my new bag today! Its funny that I ended up with the simplest one and probably the least popular. I have to admit it was not the first one to catch my eye because it seems a bit out of place in comparison to the rest of the collection but I think thats why it grew on me.  =)
