I can't believe I didn't see it myself!
Just treat it like an adventure.
A drinking adventure, a gardening adventure, a work adventure, a shopping adventure, a driving home adventure, a washing the clothes adventure, a cleaning the bathroom adventure.
I tried it out today and it worked a treat!
Take the seriousness out of it and just have an adventure.

The Green Man
Who'd have thought it would take all day driving around Melbourne to get the pvc for a green pedestrian light costume?

Bad Karma
I may have told you about a stupid, stupid thing I did at work a few months ago. (That is if you are the one person I told the story to.) Well today I did a stupid thing at work again. Not nearly as bad as the other thing, but if I had done what I should then it could have been a great thing. It's just the karma I deserve for trying to leave work early on a hot sunny day.
Lena had her test for her 'L's' today and I had to take her and Hannah, which meant leaving work at three. Turned out Hannah's mum could take them so I didn't have to, but I was still going to leave work at three to get down to the river and drink cosmopolitans. Karma got to me first though and I had locked my keys in the car.

It is so amazing. Every year for the past 4 we've gone down to the Prom for the weekend and every time, even thought he nights remain freezing cold, the sun shines down on us and it is hot, hot, hot! And this year our 'prom' made it even hotter!
The sunburn lines made for an even trashier effect.
More photos will be up when I can get copies from everyone's cameras. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made such an effort. I love you all heaps and hope to keep on having the stupid fun we do together for a long time to come.

Mums
One of the mums in Paulie's cafe today had a ukelele.
A ukelele!
What a cool mum.
They were singing the wheels on the bus though, and then I had it stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
p.s I am not posting the fact that Britney had another baby boy.

Time for a rant
Fucking, Shit, Fuck, Fuck!
My stupid car is fucked!*
Aaaargh! It make sme so mad. It's just spent a week at the mechanics and now it's died again. Needs more work and more money put into it. It's hardly even worth having a freakin' car at all. Aaaargh!
Now I need to make some serious decisions about how to go about fixing it, or if it's worth fixing, getting a new car? Can someone please give me all the answers I need.
No matter what I do I'm not going to have a car for a least another two weeks. At least!
And no matter what I do I'm going to have to spend a lot of money. Money that could be much better spent on fun things.
*Sorry about the language, use it to gauge my ire.

Crikey!
Wow. Steve Irwin was killed today. By a stingray barb to the heart.
Two scary things:
1)He was out with the marine rangers filming a documentary, so the incident was probably captured on film. I hope it doesn't show up on you tube.
2)His wife is trekking on Cradle mountain. Out of range of people to tell her it has happened.
Frightening possibilities.

Spring Clean
Hurrah! Spring has now officially arrived! And it's freakin' warm right now, even at 6.00.
Today I cleaned out all my bags. Hand bags, day bags, evening bags, overnight bags and back packs. (Note the lack of trashbags.)
I found a few things:
That I have a whole lot of bags,
3 pairs of sunglasses,
A Spicks and Specks question card,*
3 pens,
A fork,
A Kenny Rogers brochure,
$34.25 in change,
A ticket to the Commonwealth Games hockey.
All things I could live without.
Things I didn't find:
My driver's licence,
New tyres for my car,
A boyfriend,
Time,
A plane ticket.
All of which I could do with.
I also cleaned out all my clothes and actually managed to find some I could get rid of. Don't worry, I haven't actually done anything with them yet. They're just sitting in a pile ready to go.
*OMG, did anyone see that horriffic rip off of Spicks and Specks that was on some other channel last weekend? So incredibly blatant, yet done so poorly. I couldn't watch. And hosted by Todd McKenney?????????

Guess who I saw on Saturday night?
Whilst drunkenly going on to Courtney behind the bar at the nightcat, I felt the need to include the girl next to me in all my ra-ra. So a few comments were exchanged, but funnily enough she didn't seem to want a bar of me.........
Until I recognised her........
Sarah?.........
Sarah Slater?...........
Woah!
I haven't seen her in like, 8 years.
Apparently she now plays in Germany. Crazy!

Good Morning
What a wonderful way to wake up after an incredibly intense four day weekend.
The first thing I heard this morning was the line up for this years Meredith.
It puts me in the mood, looking forward to summer, and the hope that maybe my life slows down for just a short period in between.
Dallas Crane on Thursday night.
Hilltop Hoods on Friday night.
The Going away party for the Irish lads Saturday night.
The Irish lads actual last night Sunday night.
Irish lads to the airport Last night.
Are you picking up a bit of a theme here?
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll!
But for now I need to get back to the boring stuff. Must do washing. Must see family. Must eat. Must Sleep.

Pete is Crazy!
There is a man, and I use the term loosely, that I know.
You may know him too.
He is a crazy man with a crazy plan.
On Saturday September 2nd he is planning on walking the walk. (Not just talking the talk.)All the way from his place in Carlton to the Eltham Pub.
He's doing this to raise funds for the Muscular Distrophy Association.
But also because he's crazy.
He's asking for donations for as little as $5-$10, plus I suggest youbuy him a beer at his journeys end.
Drop him a line at tilljamesmusic@gmail.com and visit him at http://myspace.com/tilljames.
Pledge a few dollars and guess how long you think it will take him to make the gruelling journey of about 30k's.

Back to the real world
What a gorgeous weekend!
Sun, sun, sun!
Who would have thought that a weekend in August could provide us with beautifull days to be lazing about on the verandah - In the foothills of Bulla no less!
Of course when I get home I have waiting for me
a phone bill
a credit card bill
subscrition to RRR due
and my car's rego!
Maybe I shouldn't have spent all that money last week?
Nah!
Sun, sun, sun!

Pernickity
Yesterday was a proper day off. I got to sleep in. The sun was shining. Breakfast with friends then a day of shopping and spontaneous spending. All up I managed to part with a grand total of $524.95. And boy was it worth it!
I started early with a few internet purchases.
Then out to High Street in Preston.
This was the only moment where I ran into a bit of trouble. I had already decided that I wasn't going to let price be the deciding factor in any of my decision making, but still it was an effort to part with $180 for a pair of thongs.
I stayed strong though and handed over the credit card.
A few shop later as a headed into Wesgarth and the deep, dark depths of the hippy section of another shop. Down under a rack of dresses was a modest wicker basket with the sign attatched:
"Take another $10 off. Only $40"
So in I delve
and
you guessed it...
THE SAME SHOES FOR $40!
Well did I feel stupid. $140 difference for something that was fairly novelty to start with. I already new I wasn't going to get much wear out of them.
So. Stiffling my initial screams of frustration and riped-offness, I politely asked the sales assistant to please hold them for me till the end of the day.
Then drove all the way back to Preston, stormed into the shop and shouted
"I JUST CAN"T DO IT!"
I didn't get a refund, but I got a credit note and that was enough for me. Now the next time I go in and use it it will be like free shopping.
And I still have a hot pair of snake shoes that only cost $40.
The day then took me to Brunswick Street. I saw my friends, bought some more clothes and got a totally spontaneous hair cut.
Finishing up with the girls in Preston brought me full circle. Drinking wine a taking it in turns to cop flack about being such trashbags on the weekend.
Ahh. A relaxing day off.
