Wow I've been really busy lately....and when I haven't, I haven't been blogging much. So I've got a fair bit to catch up on.
Ness has been gone a few weeks now, miss her like crazy...but I don't miss the drive to Frankston. :P
Not last weekend, but the one before, Jacinta and I did a major shopping weekend. On the Saturday we went over to the Chadstone Homemaker centre on warrigal road. I'd never been there, but I knew they had Freedom and JB, and I knew Jacinta is looking into getting a new bed, so I thought it'd a be worth a visit. Freedom had 15% off so I bought a couple of towels and mugs. -The towels are super soft and cuddly! I also bought my media player from JB -FINALLY! It's very cool. It plays all kinds of files on my tv- everything I could wish for.
Had a quiet night, as sleepy as I was the night before -where I was falling asleep at 9pm. I was watching all sorts of things -including 3 eps of P-Rex and Cougar Town that for some reason I had skipped last season in the downloading....oops. They were good ones too!
Sunday I picked up Jacinta and we went to Chaddy. I was looking for shoes, bags, clothes etc, but found nothing, but a doona cover and makeup.
Last week Nikki was away with Dad in Queensland, so it was nice and quiet just me and Mum. I took her out for dinner on the Tuesday night. It was fun, not having anyone sulking or calling us to come home. She came home Thursday, and was nice and friendly....for 5 minutes - she was back to normal by Friday.
They went off to the footy and I had the place to myself and I watched plenty of tv. I started Private Practice season 4 since that arrived on Thursday. And then watched the 2 hour Grey's Anatomy season premiere when that finally downloaded at 10pm -ish.
I didn't get much of a sleep in on Saturday cause I got up early so I could go and take my jeans down to be taken up. Mum and Nic when out after that, so I watched plenty more PPP and did some washing and cleaning up. Jacinta came over around 5:30 and we caught up - while my mum was getting her costume organised for the party she and Nic were going to. She went as Princess Leia. We went and got dinner from Camberwell and came back and watched some movies.
I had a good sleep in Sunday. Didn't get up to much. Mum and I went to Camberwell in the arvo, and I ended up buying almost $200 worth of clothes from Just Jeans...I let mum suggest some things to try on and I liked them all, but 1! Then I bought new pillows and other things from Target. I am looking forward to using my new sheets, doona cover and pillows this weekend.
I haven't done much this week except watch tv and work! When I wasn't watching new stuff, I was watching PPP - I gotta admit I have sacrificed watching some of the new stuff to make sure I got through PPPs4 before tonight. Only got 1 left and I'll watch that before I watch the premiere in a little bit.
We had another work morning tea today - a goodbye for Tara who got a new job. I ate so much food...its crazy just how much stuff there is. It nuts! I was baking brownies last night, but they didn't quite work out right...so I just brought some chips...and I was kinda glad. too too too too much food!
Getting my hair done tomorrow arvo, before going out to dinner tomorrow night. Can't wait to have my hair cut, and also be more blonde. I miss the blonde.

Social Butterfly!
So I've been pretty busy on my weekends lately, but have had at least 1 quiet night which has been good. Last weekend Ness and I did our thing Friday night and then I met her at Southland on Saturday to see The Help - which was AWESOME by the way...great cast, great writing! -but really long...not in a dragging way though! We also bought Brett's birthday pressie! A collection of fun silly stuff!
Last week I was pretty busy after work hours too. I went out to dinner with Jacinta after work on Wednesday in Glen Waverley. Picked her up at her place, and then went to Airstream at Century City. The food was good, the service was so so. Went back to her place after for some tv and ice-cream cake. I also got some advice on media players from her bro, since we had just been talking about them.
Friday night I had the place to myself. It was awesome! I had a normal dinner, and then choc ripple cake which I'd made the night before for dessert! I finished off Parenthood season 1, organised my hard drive and did some washing seeing as I would be busy all weekend.
Saturday Mum and Nicole were up and out before I was out of bed! I was at Ness' by 1pm too! We finished off Bones - I am now up to date, and was not quite prepared for that ending! SHOCKING...and also poor Mr Nigel Murray!
Kay and Nick came later and we went out for Chinese -it was yummy! Ness and I shared our meals so we had variety. Then we decided to go to Stacks for dessert, Ness and I shared choc fudge crepes, a lighter option. Best of all we didn't feel sick by the end of night from too much food :P
Ness and I watched the pilot for The New Girl - Zooey Deschanel's show before bed. It doesn't look great, but I won't write it off just yet.
Sunday morning we walked the pooches and then got ready for the theatre! We picked the Sunday matinee because back when we bought the tickets we thought it was the final show in Melb....we were wrong. We picked up Brett on the way and gave him his pressie. We were listening to Wicked on the way in honor of the last performance in Australia that was happening last night in Perth. Before the show we got drinks and snacks at the little cafe next door to the Comedy Theatre. Our seats were good, but unfortunately we had the understudy for Drew...he wasn't very good...even though I didn't really notice until intermission that it wasn't Justin....but I did feel something was off. I think I was thrown off by the fact that I wasn't sure if Francine Cain was playing Regina or not...she was. I like that the cast have taken a few creative liberties by this point...it makes it a little more fun. I like noticing things that were different. -Just booked more tickets for October, since they are offering cheap ones. We also have tickets for the official final performance in Melb...its gonna be AWESOME and CRAZY!
Since it was a matinee, we skipped the stage door and headed home. I got my stuff together and was home around 7:30pm. I watched a rather crappy ep of SNL and got organised for work.
Today work just dragged, I was unfocused and tired. I was better after some lunch though.
Ness is off on her trip tomorrow, so its going to be an interesting 3 weeks without speaking to her...and I might actually be able to get through my own dvds on the weekends. -Also my aim is to have finished Tina Fey's book by the time she gets back!

Busy Busy Busy...and Exhausted
So I've been pretty go go go non-stop lately. Last weekend I worked my butt off at my grandparent's house. We were cleaning out the garage and house because it has been sold. Saturday it was me, Mum, Geoff, Colleen, Marg, Neil, Tracey and Jay. We did a great job of getting rid of stuff into a skip. We took a little trip to Maccas for lunch...which was an adventure. Ordering for everyone was kinda problematic, and the whole experience was weird.
That night I went to Kay and Nick's...once I got there, after being stuck in Springvale rd waiting to move through a police booze bus line. -They didn't even test me!
We hate fancy pizza and tried to watch some some Gilbert and Sullivan...but as usual we got distracted after a while. We looked at all Brett and Sarah's trip pics, it was cool to see how some things had changed since I went.
Last week was a general work week for me. Thursday night I had the place to my self cause everyone else went out. It was good though, cause I got to watch some tv outside of my room.
Friday night I went straight to Vanessa's again after work. This time I tried Springvale rd instead of Westall, but I think it took longer, so I'll stick to the regular way.
Saturday I tried to sleep in, but I only was able to sleep till 9 or something. I had the place to myself after I dropped Scott at his footy in Box Hill (after taking him to the ATM first). I did 3 loads of washing, clothes and sheets - that kept me busy. In between that I watched 2 Alias commentaries...which I had forgotten were good cast ones. I also watched an ep of Parenthood. All this before getting ready to go to Vicky's that night. The night did not start out well...I stopped to buy Petrol and got out of the car and realized I was on the wrong side...which is strange and stupid seeing as I only ever buy petrol for THAT car.
THEN I got on the freeway and it kept going and going and going...and it got a little scary once Eastlink came up...anyways I found the right exit and then it got worse once I was off the freeway...I took turns in the wrong places, thought I was going the wrong direction when I was wasn't....but had my map and I got there in the end. I passed way too much country on my way...I'm a city girl...or at least an inner suburbs girl...I don't do paddocks! lol
Anyways..it was a fun night. We made yummy pizzas, and Vicky made nummy cupcakes. We watched Aladdin of all things....its hard for us all to agree on something, so if we find something...we take it!
After that, Kay, Brett, Ness and I went around the corner (not quite literally) to Krispy Kreme. The lady let us have our donuts for free -which was awesome!!! After Vicky's thing finished I ended up going to Ness' to watch more Bones, since Vicky's thing finished kinda early. I had to follow her, and had no idea where she was taking me....we passed a lot of country stuff. We watched 2 eps of Bones and then I went home.
Sunday I slept in till in till 11ish. Which was necessary! Later Mum and I went down to Bentleigh to the house again. Margaret met us down there and the 3 of us cleaned out the place. We packed up the car twice and took stuff to 2 separate op shops and then packed up stuff to take home and drop off at the salvos as well.
I was supposed to go out with Jacinta Sunday night but I was too tired and had a headache, and she was unwell herself!
I've been exhausted all week....hopefully I'll be able to sleep in on the weekend! That'll be great!

Week 3
Well....I really should stop calling every post 'Week....' but for now its all I've got!
The job is going good, I'm really getting into the swing of things now. The driving is okay, usually....but I gotta laugh every morning/arvo when I pass multiple trams with the Rock of Ages ads on them....while blasting the soundtrack and belting out along with.... I feel I have over listened to it now though, and took it out of my car. The last 2 days I have been listening to 9 to 5...then 2nd good 'wake up' cd.
In other news - I had a great but busy weekend. I felt like baking on Saturday, so I did...I make choc chip cookies - while playing the Grey's Anatomy musical soundtrack. Apparently my life needs a soundtrack for every action!
I then took the cookies down with me to Ness', where Kay and Nick already were visiting. I'm liking the regular catch ups. Its fun to do things as a group! We went down to The Good Guys to buy my new cd player -after fighting with the old one for so long. Its very pretty, and plays my ipod too! Although mine is really old, so I can't use all the features with my ipod, but I need a new one soon anyways!
We came back ate the cookies and watched the Buffy Musical of all things. I gotta admit I still kinda love it...and it made me want to go back and watch a few select 'golden' eps. Makes me wonder if I should ever get around to completing my dvd collection. I only have seasons 1 and 2...but I have ALL of Angel though.
Kay and Nick left after dinner and Ness and I finished off the 5th season of Bones, and then watched Date Night. Still hilarious after multiple viewings!
Sunday I was going to sleep in, but woke up early-ish. But that was okay cause it gave me time to play with my cd player. I went over to Jacinta's in the afternoon and we went and saw Bad Teacher. It was pretty funny, Cameron Diaz was kinda annoying, but the rest of the characters were good. Jason Segel was kinda adorable. There were too many people I knew in it though! We hung out for a while after and went out to get some dinner, before I came home to get my stuff together for work...and then the weekend was over!
Auntie Marg is starting to sell Tupperware now...so she had a launch party Tuesday night. Mum and I bought a few things, and mum got roped into having a party. But its the new catalog will be out by then, so I can buy lots of new stuff! YAY!!!!
This week at work has been good, the other young girl was back from her holidays, so we chat a bit. I am feeling more comfortable with the phones now, and getting used to the place.
Tomorrow we are having another birthday morning tea, for the boss. These people have too many birthdays! haha. I had time to make something this time. We'll see how they go over. Its always hard to think of what people might like.
This weekend I'm pretty busy again. Going out both Fri and Sat nights...and spending all day sat and sun cleaning out my Grandparent's house.I'm going to be exhausted...before the week even starts! Crazy. lol. I might be in bed at 6pm on Sunday.
Oh well....at least I am making and spending money...that makes me happy!

Week 2
So I had a good first week at Monash. There has been lots of info to remember and things to figure out. I have notes, but its hard to keep those updated. I guess it is just going to take a while to make things CLICK.
Friday was a good day. We had free dress with fundraising for Jeans for Genes day. So I got to wear my jeans and donate a dollar...like in high school. hah.
We also had a big morning tea for 2 birthdays. People made stuff and it was quite a spread! However, I'm not into sandwiches and cheese platters. But the sweeter stuff was nice. Next time I'll try and make something nice, I ran out of time by going out Thursday night. Jacinta and I went to La Porchetta for dinner. I went over after work since she's just down the road from there. It was fun, but I can't seem to finish a meal anymore. Which is good, but also annoying.
Saturday night was group night at Ness'. We had chicken and chips for tea, which again was too much! Plus there was excellent sweets...I just wish I had time to digest my dinner before being forced to eat Vicky's lemon meringue pie. The plate turned up while I was still eating my tea.
We did unofficial Queen Latifah musical night...we had unknowingly picked the 2 musicals she's in to watch - Chicago and Hairspray. -I swear that was nobody's intention. But everything else got vetoed, by at least 1 person.
I stayed over and Ness and I browsed the Helpman Awards -which were sucky in my opinion. Sunday we watched some high quality Bones.
I got home mid afternoon, had some tea while I listened to an old Alias commentary, and organised myself for work. I had some quality music time, listening to Book of Mormon and Stephanie J Block's album. SOOO different, but both SOOO good.
Today was a quiet day at work, I'm still figuring things out with the work, its a bit confusing, but I think I'm starting to get it.
I think the novelty of having a job has already worn off...but I haven't been paid yet, so that might come back! The only prob is trying to find to go shopping for new work clothes. I have enough to make do with for now, but I'm gonna get really sick of wearing the same thing every week.

A Brave New World
So there have been a few new developments since my last post....got called up for a job I'd applied for, went and interviewed with agency last Tuesday, and then got called up to interview for Thursday, and then got the call on Friday arvo that they wanted me to start Monday. So that's pretty cool.
Even without the job stuff I've been pretty busy this last week. I went to Ness' Wednesday night, which was lucky seeing as we were both busy on the weekend, so we didn't do a weekend catch up. Friday Neil and Marg brought over our Tupperware orders. My stuff is cute, but who knows when I'll get a chance to bake something and use them! lol. In the arvo I went shopping for tons of junk food for my weekend, and then spent the night watching random tv. Saturday I had a good sleep in and then went shopping in Camberwell with Jacinta. I had to look for some clothes to wear this week to work. I found a few tops and just sorta grabbed anything I liked, and then kept thinking of other things, and had TONS of stuff by the time I got to the register it was up over $200! Which seems like a lot, but I bought many things, and its all gonna come in handy. We also went to Safeway, where I bought some more chocolate, cause it was really cheap. We also hit JB and I bought a few movies, The Princess Diaires, Pretty Woman, and You Again.
We had to go help Mum look for her keys, after she lost them doing the census and we had to go let her into the car. We didn't find them, but she did get a call yesterday that someone found them. -So that worked out.
We had the house to ourselves Saturday night and after grabbing dinner we did a Wayne's World marathon, watching both movies. We then watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets which we found when flicking channels. After she left, I was still really awake, so I watched Easy A.
Sunday I vegged out and watched movies all day. I started with Clueless -which I hadn't watched in ages, but was in my mind all week. I watched the Alias Pilot commentary for about the millionth time. -I had to go back down to Camberwell in the arvo, cause Target had left the security tag on a cardigan I bought. I ended up watching The Princess Diaries when I got back.
So Monday I had to get up really early to makes sure I had enough time to get to work by 9am. I have to drive, but that's okay. I get a parking pass so I don't have to move my car, or pay. The first day was a bit slow, waiting around for something to do. It was a bit scary too, but the people all seem nice, and there are plenty of shops around - its a few blocks from The Glen, and right next to Century City. -Oh yeah, the job is with Monash City Council. I'm working in Rates and Property. So far I've been practicing and working under supervision, I'm getting more comfortable with it - its starting to sink in which is good. -Getting there and back is pretty easy, its pretty much 2 roads, and when people move its a quick trip. The mornings take longer cause of the 40 speed limits, but its not too bad.
I'm pretty exhausted, cause I'm not used to getting such little sleep, but I'm starting to adjust to my new routine. Also my Amazon order FINALLY arrived today. Its about bloody time, it went through France and Germany first...for some unknown reason. But I finally get to listen to The Book of Morman soundtrack. I also got Stephanie J Block's album, and a bunch of others that I haven't listened to yet. I also got Tina Fey's and Rob Lowe's books. Just gotta find time for them all now...
I guess that's all for now. I can't wait to sleep in on Saturday. But I imagine the weekend will go really quick!

The first day was a bit slow, waiting around for something to do. It was a bit scary too, but the people all seem nice, and there are plenty of shops around - its a few blocks from The Glen, and right next to Century City. -Oh yeah, the job is with Monash City Council. I'm working in Rates and Property. So far I've been practicing and working under supervision, I'm getting more comfortable with it - its starting to sink in which is good. -Getting there and back is pretty easy, its pretty much 2 roads, and when people move its a quick trip. The mornings take longer cause of the 40 speed limits, but its not too bad.
I'm pretty exhausted, cause I'm not used to getting such little sleep, but I'm starting to adjust to my new routine. Also my Amazon order FINALLY arrived today. Its about bloody time, it went through France and Germany first...for some unknown reason. But I finally get to listen to The Book of Morman soundtrack. I also got Stephanie J Block's album, and a bunch of others that I haven't listened to yet. I also got Tina Fey's and Rob Lowe's books. Just gotta find time for them all now...
I guess that's all for now. I can't wait to sleep in on Saturday. But I imagine the weekend will go really quick!

A Little Bit of Theatre
So I was kept quite entertained last week, caught up with Ness a few times, and Jacinta as well!
Sunday night I finally saw the last Harry Potter film. It was really good! But then again, I don't really remember much from the book as its been years since I read it, so my opinion may change if I get around to re-reading the books...which I would like to do...but I'll have to complete my collection, I only have the last 3.
We went to Century City at the Glen. It was still really busy, I'm glad I decided to book online in the end. It just meant I could pick decent seats. Which at 18 bucks a movie these days, you want a good seat! I can't believe it costs almost 20 bucks for a regular no frills 2D movie!
Tuesday I had another appointment at Centrelink, all that is going along pretty well. But I still haven't had any job interviews. In the evening I went down to Ness' and we watched some quality Bones. We have become addicted to the Oreo choc shakes from Maccas, but when we went out to get some they didn't have any chocolate, so we had to have vanilla ones. They were nice, but not quite the same.
Wednesday, Jacinta came over and we watched some old SNL and odd tv here and there. That night I went to the arts centre to see Anything Goes with Amanda Harrison of Wicked. I had become obsessed with this show after seeing it at the Tonys. Then when reading the paper on Monday, I came across an article about Amanda doing it THIS WEEK ONLY at the arts centre. So I knew I HAD to go, and Mum was in too. Since Ness was working every other day 'cept Wednesday, that made the decision about which night to go easy. The tickets were pretty cheap which was good, and even though we were 3 rows from the back we still had a great view of the stage...and the seats in front of us were empty which was awesome!
The show was a lot of fun, Amanda was awesome as Reno. The rest of the cast were pretty talented too! The girl that played Erma was great, and Billy and Moonface Martin was great too! Overall it was a limited budget production, so there were not really proper sets or multiple costumes, but in terms of production value it still was really top notch when it came to the performances. There wasn't quite as much tapping as I would have liked, but you can't have everything!
Now I'll just have to wait for the Broadway production's cast recording to come out, so I can listen to the songs whenever I want!
