Halloweeniiiies

I just tripped over on the stairs, I caught myself but now my hands hurt *owies*

Last night we sorted out all the CD’s… then we talked about packing for about 2 hours, without actually doing any! We are so lazy. Mark was at school so it was just bro, Cat and I. We cooked dinner, did the cd’s and we were all in bed by 9:30, which without daylight savings time, is actually only 8:30… what lazybones’.

*yawn* and I am still tired.

I am getting excited about moving though, I love arranging furniture and the like… we have to sort out who is taking what and an awful lot of stuff will be going to the op shop I think, we have so much stuff we don’t need.

My back is still hurting… I wish it would just fix itself…

My boss isn’t here yet, just as well as Musik and I have been just posting on the DD forums like mad bunny rabbits, I have had enough now and quit again.

So today is my last day of work for 5 whole days! Yay! It is also Halloween… I may not be updating for a few days as my computer will be in a box and I don’t think the phone will be on in the new place for a little while. We still haven’t figured out if we will be sleeping in the new place by then end of the weekend or not… I think we will be though, so I had better change my contents insurance over to the new place I guess… argh I forgot how much work is involved in moving house :(

Think I feel like Hungry Jacks for lunch seeing as it is the last day for the cheap vouchers *grin* might just indulge LMAO

I am busy now, bummr I had a lot more things I wanted to write about, but my boss has arrived now and has thrust work upon us with his smiley good mood he is in today.

I am hungry, wish there was something other than chocolate and chips in the snack machine, I feel like one of the giant anzac cookies you can get out of the machines at the station :)

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEE!

I am writing a lot today ey? I am just in a good mood. I just had a chat to my boss about the course I want to do starting in March, it costs $3500 a year, and I said I am not going to be able to pay for it and was wondering if perhaps he would like to pay for it in lieu of pay rises for the next 2 years or so? That would equate to $7000 worth of pay rises for 2 years which is a bit more than I would ordinarily be expecting, but he gets to write them off on tax anyways which he wouldn’t if he gave me a raise… he is very keen on the idea and told me to get him full details on what the course entails and what I would expect to get out of it so I am going to ring up the place and get them to fax me out a complete kit of information… It would be a lot of work, it is Monday and Tuesday nights, 3 hours a night… but I think I could handle it, I would find it really interesting… Oh well it doesn’t start for like 4 months or so, although I will have to enrol fairly shortly I would imagine as there are only 8 places per class.

I just spoke to Cat, they got their house so she and bro will be moving this weekend, which got me to thinking… why don’t we just pick up the keys this weekend too, seeing as how we have to pay the bond and rent on Friday, we may as well start moving our stuff in! That gives us 4 weeks to clean the old place once it is empty… and we have a 5 day weekend so we may as well take advantage of it ey! My boss has offered me the use of the ute for the weekend so I am pretty happy bout that, will make life easier..



Yipppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 more day to go

Well guess what.

We are moving house!! The agent (the big boss of the agency actually) rang me last night to personally say congratulations that we had the house… it is pretty exciting. Cat and bro have pretty much got the house they want too, although we won’t know for sure until 12 o’clock. Please please please let them get it, they will be so devastated if they don’t…

Last night Cat and I tried to install her new car CD player all by ourselves. After an hour of pushing and pulling and laughing our heads off we admitted defeat and took it to her brother’s house for him to have a go, he successfully installed it, totally ignoring the instructions we had been trying to follow so carefully, so I guess we didn’t have a hope right from the start. Watching him pull out the speakers and rewire them to suit the new system we just had to laugh at ourselves for even trying!

Mark and bro had a market research thing on some new TV series last night, they said it was okay, but everyone agreed the name had to be changed, Temptation is a CRAPPY name… LOL.

Mmmmm had hungry jacks last night to celebrate my good news about the house. mmmmmmm whoppers.

We have to start packing now I guess, we are moving in 2 weeks. Well less than 2 weeks actually, but as we have to give a months notice at the house we are in, we have 2 weeks to actually move everything once we sign the lease for this place. I think we are doing that on Friday… I am still a little unsure about moving, I am very nervous, but I don’t know why. Then again, if you can’t get nervous about something, it is probably not worth doing ey! I am sure it will all be fine… and if not, we are only renting… and it is good to trial things first :) I love him, he loves me, we will be fine. I will just miss bro and Cat terribly.

Hmmm our server is playing up again, please don’t let us be net and email-less all day!

My back is still in agony, it is not quite as bad as yesterday, but I am glad Musik can’t make it to aerobics tonight after all, I don’t think my back would stand for it.

Oh I guess I should post a little piccy of our new house hey! I will link it when the server comes back up. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, I will post more pics when we have moved in, will sneak the work digital camera home to take some. Hmm come to think of it, I wonder if my boss wants it this weekend or if I can borrow it to take Halloween photos… maybe I should just stick to normal photos…

Hmmm day go faster now much lots yes.

Server is back, here is the house:

Ain’t it cuteeeeeee :)

Okay well gonna post this now and get back to doing some work…

Hmm maybe not, server is down again… *sigh*

Guess I will just keep writing while they reboot the server again LOL.

*yawn*

*stretch*

The Minifat didn’t come home last night, he was very cuddly this morning when he turned up at 6:30, just wanted to sit on my face and purr LOL.

Server back again…

*crosses fingers*

I am trying not to be nervous or excited…

Cat and bro got approved for their house they applied for… now we really NEED to get approved for ours tomorrow. The agent lady rang me before and told me they are 100% satisfied with our application and are meeting with the owners tonight to discuss it with them.

*crosses fingers*

Please please please universe be nice to us….

On another note, the air-con at work is broken, and as anyone in Melbourne will be aware, today is WARM! And upstairs here it is stuffy and horrible *sigh* Although things could be a lot worse :)

Nearly Halloween YAY!

I think the likelihood of anyone else taking my test is pretty slim, so here are the results :)

The *alifelessordinary* Genius is…

Fury22 with 10/10

Musik and Babysgotatemper tied for second place with 9/10

Kid420 came a close third with 8/10

Butterfly1980 achieved 7/10

I think it shows that people know me pretty well :) Although why Butterfly thought I had a gerbil and two piranhas is beyond me LMAO…

Last night I went costume shopping for Mark and myself for Friday night and have organised the hire of two pretty spiffy looking vampire outfits, yes they are pretty much purple and black LOL, my favorite look. I look very strange with black hair, can’t wait to see how Mark will look in his costume :)

Anyone in Melbourne with nothing better to do is welcome to come along to the Espy for a night of fun and costumes with great music!

The lady from the agent rang me last night and told me we should have an answer on the application by tomorrow night, speedy place. I am worried, I think that is too fast for a good thing to happen, but no use worrying I guess, we have appointments to look at 3 more places on Friday if we don’t get this one…

I am starving…

Last night Mark finished getting his AutoCad files from Kazaa and proceeded to install them, only to find that the crack files etc didn’t work. He tried the additional ones, still nothing. So I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, read the instructions, applied the files to allt he relevant areas and lo and behold, it works fine…

I turn to him, “did you read the instructions?”

He shakes his head.

Sheesh, men.

I made him iron my shirt as punishment for being a typical male LOL.

His mum agreed that was fair LOL.

Boring

Damn this Daylight Savings Crap Argh! I really think it is the stupidest idea ever, but what do I matter??

I got another book in the mail today YAY! I am still going hard on the old auction sites :)

Today has been flat out, obviously, it is 4:37pm, and this is the first chance I have had to update anything.

The weekend was tiring, but good. We all found houses we want to apply for, I faxed through mark’s and my applications for our one today and bro and Cat are going to drop their ones in tonight. I hope we both get the ones we want… otherwise it is back to the drawing board again it seems.

Didn’t really go out on the weekend at all, watched some more videos and played some more Cluedo etc :) Bro went out, but we were too lazy to do anything. Still have not managed to get down to see Mark’s friends baby, blah we suck.

There were some interesting stories for others on the weekend… but they are not my stories to tell, so I think I shall keep them to myself for the moment, LOL.

Hmmm I still have bugger all to write about, been getting all my opinions off my chest on message boards LOL.

I sent an email to a guy I used to go to shcool with a few months back, never heard from him, then out of the blue today he forwarded me a joke… what a weirdo…

IDEA!!

I am frantically running off 200 copies of the exclusives pricelist for our reseller. The huge project I did a while back? Well it all turned out perfectly, the packaging printed in China came out superbly and the price list look really schmick and lovely and I am overall pretty happy with the website component of it also. Remember how nervous I was about accepting the promotion? Well I needn’t have been!

Musik and I have been discussing the possibility of getting our website business together as a partnership and starting to get some advertising up on RRR and through various gigs, I will just go along and hand out business cards at as many as possible. I am really happy with the simple yet cool one that I have up and running now for my mate, and he was going to be plugging it at their gig last night at the Metro…. hopefully I will see some signifigant hits on it today!

I only charged them $55 for it, well $95 including the domain name and diversion for it. I think that is too cheap, and think it should probably be $100 for the design and layout, then the hosting and domain name another fee on top of that. If you charged them $5 a month for hosting, up front that is $60 for the year then $30 for the domain name, works out to $190 as a package, I think thatis pretty darn cheap! What do you think guys? For a nominal cost I will also duck into one of their shows and get some shots on the digital camera if they don’t already have action shots…

Hmm well we will see ey? It would be a lot of fun, and some good money making ventures *grin*

Today is going to go so slow, I am starving. I had some tim tams for breakfast (bad I know!) but I was so hungry. I woke up really late, mark got me up at 7:15 to have a shower and get to work on time, then I woke up at 8:10 when Mark’s mum was banging on the door to wake me up cos she was leaving soon! oops! So i had to forego a shower and haul ass on in to work ASAP. I was half an hour late, fortunately my boss was even later…

WellI have a TONNE of work to do today, and need to leave on time for the dress fitting… so tootles!!

READ ME *grin*

drums her fingers on the table

I probably shouldn’t be writing here today, I don’t really have anything to say.

I am worried about Beth… but that is for her diary, not mine.

I want to be home in bed again, it was so warm and cozy when I woke up this morning, dragging myself out of bed was really really hard.

Tonight will be spent plonked in front of the idiot box getting my weekly fix of american television programming… *sighs* well if Aussie’s produced any shows worth watching at the moment, I would watch them.

Argh.

Grrr.

Yeah LOL.

I am in a stupid mood, my thoughts are all over the place, yet when I try to find something to think about, they all seem to scatter to the four corners of the Earth and I cannot bring them back together, so I feel empty in my head.

Last night consisted of finishing off the website for the band I was working on. It is now uploaded and am just waiting for Musik’s domain company to redirect it, hopefully in time for their gig tonight so they can plug it.

I wonder if I can sneak a links page in their site and plub mine from it LOL.

I actually updated some of my site last night, I wasn’t very motivated, but I did Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, still have to do Saturday at some point, but not right now.

I have to get my scanner down to the post office and get shipping prices on it.

I just checked my bosses calndar and discovered he is at First Aid Training all day, d’oh!

Musik and I have a tonne of photography work to do, but I am not in the mood, I don’t care about anything today, bring on next weekend when I have 5 days off…

Lately my entries have tended towards the mundane I feel, I used to have so many dramas, and my life was so unpredicatble, now I am settled, stagnant even. Maybe that is too harsh, we still have fun, there is just none of the old wildness in me anymore I think.

Musik has passed on her dreaming about babies obsession to me I think. Last night I had a very bizarre dream that I was having twins, and the doctor gave me samples of them, tiny little perfectly formed samples, but they were alive, and had the tiniest little smiles on their beautiful faces…

I hit random, and read some of my old entries sometimes. I was such a loser for a while, not knowing where me heart lay, or where my body would lie next time.

My friend Tom from QLD, who I met on Hot or Not meany years ago, is thinking of moving to Melbourne, he has been offered a job here… I hope he does, I would love to get to know him in real life, he is awesome to chat to, it’s been I think about 2.5 years now since I first got to emailing him. He is only 21, he writes fantastic poetry, plays all manner of musical instruments, is hanging on to his virginity. I spoke to bro and Cat about them wanting a third housemate when they move, and that he might fit in with them? Told Cat she was not allowed to deflower him though LOL…

He suggested I might like to adopt him, like we adopted Cat, he calls me Mum now, says we need to sign the official forms when he comes down hehe. I gave him my phone number, told him to call me when he knows what is happening.

Spoke to mum the other day about wedding plans, she offered to pay 1/3 for the wedding, still leaves me no closer to a budget though, as I don’t know what she is anticipating the total cost to be LMAO… never mind… we might do it all on our own if we can, would feel like an accomplishment.

For someone with nothing to say, this is getting pretty long…

I was telling Cat last night about the beginnings of mine and Mark’s relationship, I had her laughing pretty hard over my initial reservations… and how he won me over with persistent charm *grins*

Sitting here listening to MY band .h again… man I love their music, .g’s voice is soooooooooooo good :)

Yesterday at the expo was spent playing paddocks, hangman and making annagrams out of the names of all the people we work with… some of them are great. For instance… the operations manager’s name translates to “point at a teen goat” and my bosses name translates to “I want them crotch” *grins*. I showed them to Musik this morning teehee.

I have come to the conclusion that there is not much in my life that I really feel very strongly about, I have no religion, no political affiliations… and I think I like it this way. Cruelty to animals is my pet hate, and something I will argue about til I am blue int he face, and abortion is another one…

Agh, going to do some more work now…

Toodles
