Why pay $13 to talk?

Mood: Sleeeeeeepy

Well hello, hump day again (up until a couple of weeks ago I thought that meant something rude...turns out that's not the case!!), only 2 more work days till the weekend!

Work today was super quiet, I was in the office all by myself from about 1:30pm onwards.  Filled in time by reading magazines, the paper and researching accidents at amusement parks.  Luckily very few happen here in Australia so I won't need to be freaking out about it when I go to the Gold Coast next year!  Have you ever noticed, as you get older you are more aware of things that could go wrong?  Instead of going to the local show and thinking "I'm going to go on ALL the rides", you think "Those carnies look dodgy, it only took a couple of hours for them to set this ride up; that safety harness looks dodgy" and so on.  When I was younger I never gave it a second thought!!!

Went to the movies tonight and saw "Look Both Ways", it was pretty good, apart from this rude woman & her 2 kids who did not shut up the entire time.  Why pay all that money to sit there & have a discussion!???  Can't you stay at home and talk instead of disrupting everyone!!!!!  Rude people.  I'd have to say that's one of my pet peeves, of course there are others such as; late people, arrogant people, bad drivers, pushy/bitchy people, liars... hmmm, that's all I can think of for now of things that annoy me.  What are some things that really P's other people off?

When my friend realised she had forgotten my birthday, I received a big bunch of flowers delivered to work, it was really nice!

Hey, what about this model in Bali?  She's changed her story so many times, now she's decided she's Muslim and is completely covered up.  I don't know of any Muslim women who normally model swimwear/lingerie, seeing as though their belief is that a woman's body is not something to be flaunted carelessly, and that they should maintain the highest degree of modesty in their dress.  I find it very hard to feel sorry for her and the predicament she's put herself in.  I feel sorry for her family though.

Anyway, I'm getting increasingly sleepy now, so I'd best head off before I fall asleep on the keyboard....

Until next time,
take care!

The start of another long week...

It's been a while, I've been very slack!

It's been a quiet couple of weeks, went to the gym a total of 1 time, the guy there wasn't very helpful so I couldn't really be bothered going back - although have been trying to walk 3kms everyday (it's been hard because it's been raining a bit lately!!!), also got the rollerblades out and headed back to the rink.  I used to go there at least once every weekend for 3yrs, a long time ago.  I even used to help out there.  I think me and skating eventually grew apart but now I need to get active again, and skating is something I'm good at and enjoy doing.

So anyway, last weekend I went to the rink, it was there I met a guy, a long time ago, (maybe 8 1/2 years ago) we went out for about 6 months, then I dumped him, for reasons I never understood but I never regretted, if that makes any sense!!).  After all that fall out, I grew out of skating and hadn't been for ages until last weekend.  Then when I went yesterday, the rink owner tells me that she called my ex last weekend to tell him I'd been at the rink!!!  I can't understand why she felt the need to do that!!!!  I'm pretty sore today from all my power sliding yesterday (fun way to stop!) I'm sure my older sister taught me how to do that but I can't remember ever learning it, it's alot of fun though!!!!  Simple things eh?!!

Anyway, my Birthday was last week, it was a good day, went out for tea the night before which was delicious, and I got lots of cool presents!!  Only disheartening thing was a friend I've known for 4 years forgot my birthday.  But then again I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, last year the weekend after my b'day she suggested we catch up for drinks on the Saturday night.  Cool.  So I wait (and wait and wait) to hear from her that night.  Nothing.  I find out the following Monday that she went away with The Boyfriend and totally forgot about me.  I suppose her going out with me wouldn't have been ok with him anyway.  He was away a while ago and we caught up a fair bit.  Now he's back, I'm forgotten.  Oh well....I seem to waste too much energy on being frustrated about frivolous things like that, I really need to relax!!!! 

Went out for tea with Mum & my younger sister tonight, to a Chinese restaurant.  After the meal, the waitress bought out some warm towels & waved one around in front of my sister- she didn't know what it was all about!!!!!!  We couldn't stop laughing!!!!

This weekend we are going to stay in a haunted house!!  Should be fun (unless a ghost appears and scares the life out of me!!!), hopefully nothing disturbing will happen!!!

Anyway, it's getting a bit late so I might head off to bed, I've been looking forward to sleeping since I got up this morning!!!!!
