Woooo!!!!! Went and got this beauty done today....

its on my inside right wrist (if you didn't figure it out!!)

I only made the final decision today...went down to my Tattoo Parlour at lunchtime to make an appointment - normally you'll get an appointment in a months time; but they had a cancellation so the guy asked me if I wanted to get it done then....and I was like "Sure - lead the way!" 40min later I was walking out the door back to work!

Spent a long weekend in Sydney 06-09 August...it was one of my best friends birthday so the 2 of us flew down and caught up with our other best friend Jacq. Mayhem ensued as usual!! Spent way too much money, but had some great food (Italian, Thai, US, Japanese...) yummmy The Saturday night we went out to a metal concert in Leichardt....

That's me on the right in the wig....awesome right?!?!?!? Everyone else was decked out in all black clothes and I rocked along with my hot pink wig, pink nail polish, and black shirt with pink sparkly design!! hehehehe We were all in a fun place coz we had a bottle of tequila before we left Jacq's house and we were sinking back vodka at the concert FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!

Gotta start saving the cash up for the Soundwave Festival- early bird tickets go on sale next week...this will be my birthday present to myself! Its in Brisbane on 20th February 2010 - so its perfect timing!! The line-up is awesome: Faith No More, My Chemical Romance, AFI, Paramore....can't wait!!!

Anyway, I'm off to get myself a glass of wine and stare at my pretty pretty tattoo!

HUGS to you all!!! xxx

Wow....I haven't updated my blog in months! sorry people! You all know what its like - real life intrudes and then I don't have the energy to blog, and the next thing you know its been 4months since you last updated!

Easter was spent down in Tasmania with the family....was originally supposed to be just me, mum & dad but David threw his job in and moved back in....without forewarning them! He just rocked up on the doorstep with all his stuff and pretty much just walked in, sat down and grabbed a beer from the fridge!! suffice it to say that none of us were very happy!!! Mum and I had a lot of fun - we had a full day of shopping in Launceston; we got all dressed up and off we went. Spent too much money as usual, but it was mum's birthday so who cares! Love my mama so much.

Whilst down in Tas, mum & dad got 2 little kittens!!! awwww.....they are SO cute!! Ginger and Petal....Ginger is my little man and mum had to check my luggage when I left to make sure that I wasn't taking him with me!! But they're adorable! They were so tiny that you they'd fit in one hand when you picked them up Makes me wish I could have pets...but I rent and am not allowed to have any pets which really sucks!!!

David now has full-time job at an export quality meatworks (abattoir) near Launceston - so he's driving nearly 1.5hrs each way everyday. He has an agreement with mum & dad that by the end of July he has to find a place to live and move out or else move back to the mainland....now that he has a job I think he's hunting for a place near Launceston and his job. So mum & dad are counting down the days until he's moved out! Mum has all these plans for the room he's been staying in....

Well work is proving to be incredibly stressful....leading up to the end of the financial year I swear I was getting a stomach ulcer!!!! So much to do, not enough time in a day, filing that keeps on piling up and up to the point where I think I have almost 12months worth of filing in my draws that I have 1week to file away!! OMG!! I have a week coz the boss is away and so work will be slightly quieter than normal.......figners crossed!!! But since he's already given me a pretty big list of things he'd like done, I'm still going to be run off my feet!!

What makes it harder too is that the girls at work (Mel & Suze) don't seem to include me in anything anymore....makes me think of highschool all over again! In that I know they get together after work a few times a week and have drinks etc but I don't get invited. Makes me feel all left out coz I wanna be able to b!tch to them about work stuff as well but don't have the opportunity. So I go home and stew coz I can't exactly call my other girlfriends and complain to them due to privacy issues etc so I contain everything inside and so I think I'm headed towards stomach ulcers! Or a nervous breakdown!!

I know I know - I should try to relax and forget about it all, but sometimes I just can't turn my brain off and it keeps me up at night

BUT onto better and brighter things.....there's a long weekend trip down to Sydney next month for one of my best friends birthdays...hello hotel room, heavy metal concert and tequila shots!! Should be a lot of fun with the girls!!!

AND even better.....next overseas holiday - SPAIN!!! Yep, JJ & BM I'm going to be coming over in August 2010 (I know I originally said May, but need more time to save!) the plan is to fly from Brisbane to Barcelona (stay for a few days), hook up with JJ and stay with her for a few days, then off to visit BM and stay with her, then down to Madrid for a few more days before flying home. Its so exciting planning my holidays!!! And having the opportunity to meet the girls is awesome!!!

Well yesterday I survived a 7km hike through the Ravensbourne National Park - in freezing gale force winds (thanks boss) as part of our work birthday and then we had a 2.5hr lunch at a lovely restuarant. That hike was fun but it nearly killed me when we had to come but up a mountain with all this stairs and at a fast walk!!! hello??? I'm not a fitness person!! And I forgot to take my asthma inhaler with me so I was gasping and wheezing all over the place

So I'm sitting here on my couch at 10.30 Sunday morning in my pj's with the heater on typing this....have decided that I'm going to see Transformers 2 today at the cinema. Should be fantastic! Should be spending the day cleaning but the movies is a much better alternative!

Anyway, I hope everyone here is well and enjoying life (I can't wait for the new seasons of my fave tv shows to start....bring on September!!!!). Sending you all massive squishy hugs!!

So my friend Jacq sent this to me this morning...and I spent most of the morning at work trying to guess them all!! I was able to guess 46....

Basically, there is just over 100 famous people in this painting....Can You Guess Them All??

You may need to download the file from photobucket so you can zoom and enlarge....

If you can name a minimum of 25, you may consider yourself a cultivated person.

Please PM with your answers, and I'll let you know how accurate you are! And next blog I'll announce who got the most correct, and I'll link in the photo that shows the answers

GOOD LUCK
