OK so I have a few strapless items;

my black stretch strapless top with black and white floral ruffle on the bottom from jeans west. put on once or twice. worn as a skirt. not worn as a top

my black long strapless stretch top on sale last boxing day from city chic. Put on millions of times. haven't left the house in it.

my new tribal print dress with removable straps. Have removed the straps but never worn without.. out of the house.

my 80's "rainbow" print pink, black, white and aqua dress from city chic once again, last boxing day sales. Never worn out of the house

Tonight ABL, the girls and I headed off to my niece's 21st. Yes, she is only 7 years younger than me. It was at a rather lamo all you can eat and it was a quite warm night again so I thought, you know, its just a crapo place, I am soo going to lose my strapless virginity!
And so I did- what do you think?

45 (degrees) and still alive!

Freshly GHD straightened and cut hair- thanks HD :-)

black singlet (under)- thrifted, Savers

Chiffony paisleyblouse (with the cutest tiny buttons at the chest and the cutest fluted cap sleeves) - Rosanna- more about YOU below

Cuffed black shorts- Lily + Lou, Best + Less

Brown Belt- CC

Splotchy fake tanned legs- all mine baby!

Sooo.. I started this blog at 8:30am this morning as soon as I got into the office, as usual. I usually am done anytime between 10:30am-12:30pm. Pfft. Today I gave up at 5:48pm. I finish at 5:30pm. What a shithouse day. Busy Busy. One of my clients keep me soo busy, and then there were all the others! People, its hot! It actually reached 45 degrees in melbourne today. Kerrrazy! It is 25 degrees now at 10:14pm.. I am still sweaty lol. The house is hot still!

I like todays outfit. Love my hair hair extensions cut. The HD told me to use serum serum and more serum on the dry ends and to wash ONLY once a week.

I like these shorts, was a leeetle scared of them, but hey, it's HOT! These are the ones I bought from B & L last week for $15- they look nice, are a nice tailored material but stretch! Woohoo! They have nice cuffs too.

The top is awesome. so loose and flowey but looks great with a belt. has short sleeves but not offensive as to show off bingo wings and back fat. I actually bought it one night shopping with Nicola at Knox. I saw this shop called Rosanna opposite Kmart and was depressed after trying to squeeze my size 20 arse into a pair of size 16 shiny girl express leggings. Ha ha, I can laugh now. Anywhooo.. I decided to pop into Rosanna, the clothes looked semi ok from outside but they looked big. I went in and found this jem, which I love love love and was only like $25? They had some other OK stuff, including a cute rah rah skirted tank dress in all sizes, but that was like $120- I thought the prices went from one extreme to another! They had some OK stuff but some was gaudy/tacky/dandenong market-ish/jewish grandma tack. I have not been back, only coz I rarely go to Knox, but am thinking of heading back soon....

Anyway, tomorrow morning am off to the beach with ABL and my step daughters who we have for the weekend. I hope the weather is OK, is meant to be 37 degrees but "cloud developing and possible storms in the PM" But we will see.

Have a good night all!!

Rock of Love Bus Review

I do not have a photo of what I am wearing today and even if I did I would not be posting. It is 43 degrees, I have no makeup on, no hair extensions, cut off jeans and a tee-shirt and thongs... aand the aircon at work is soo not working, soo no pic for you!!!
Anyway instead I really wanted to blog about Rock of Love Bus- the third ROL with Bret Michaels season. Now, as you may know, I am a crazy fan of Poison and love love loooove Bret Michaels- the first season I was addicted. The second, yup addicted. I have tried with the third season, and I will download and watch every show, but I don't think the passion is there! I mean, you think he would have found someone by now! Let me give you a brief outline of the story- Season 1 & 2, Bret Michaels filled an LA mansion with "hot" (That is dubious!) chicks. He gives me tasks to do, some get private dates etc etc and then each episode he kicks one off in a very long winded elimination. Something funny about the show last night- the girls were told by Bret via a note to dress up.. they all wore lingerie! In public! Like, bra's and knickers!! What the! Because next time ABL and I are going out and I want to dress up- I'm wearing a bra and girdle- and that's it. Mmm Hmm. I thought Daisy was trashy last season- at least she wore clothes! (once again, dubious)

Soo.. below is my take on the remaining trollops.. i mean, ladies

Taya;

goes on and on about how she was a playboy bunny or a playmate, I don't know- I wouldn't be talking or bragging about it!! Kinda simpering and boring. She may grow on me however.

Natasha;

Token black chick (harsh i know, but he has one every year!) Kinda hot but with the BLOKIEST voice I have EVER heard! Its like she is a 3 pack a day smoker! Sick!

Mindy; Umm.. are you a bloke? Sooked all last nights epiode as she didn't get any one on one time with Bretty. Wah wah, suck it up. I bet my maxi dress she will be out next week.

Kelsey; smacks of Brandi M (M i think) from Season 1 and Charm School. She will go far but not win. I like her but, she is cute and likeable. Although last night she said that she thought a roadie was a member of the band. Hmm.

Farrah; Likes to pash other girls. Wears trashy 80's porn clothes and has huge fake boobies. Heather from season 1 and 2 part 2 TOTALLY!

Brittanya; Her name makes me think of encyclopedia britanica.... has cheek piercings. I like her hair. She is really cute actually, totally dumb, but admits she is so she knows it. I wouldn't mind her winning, she is trashy, but endearing. Kinda like Destiney from season 2.

Beverley; What a bogan name. Has obvious body image issues as usually covers herself like a muslim. Well compared to the other girls that is. Has the baggiest boobs ever and like 50 kids at home. I like her.. because she is different... I hate her because she is hideous. I so knew they would put an "Ugly Betty" so to speak in this year. I am waiting for them to put a fatty in- I guess the only man who likes fatties is Flava Flav, he has a few in his show each season. She will hang around till the end but won't win.

Ashley aka ABomb; Yeah I hated her at first, she is growing on me and I am sure I will either love her or totally hate her soon. Has an annoying twangy american voice but is kinda really cute. I think the final will be between her and Britanya.

after midnight... 32 degrees... can't sleep

____________________________________________________________

Good Morning Baltimore!!!!!

Cigarettes- 0
Chocolate- 0
KFC Meal- 1 (for lunch.. the girls pressured me! Have been good otherwise!!)

Well, it sure is hot today! We are looking to hit a top of 41 degrees and 43 tomorrow! AHH!! Ha-ha too hot, I hate sweating! I might go to Kmart tonight and pick up a cheap desk top fan in case the aircon fails here!

This morning I was searching through the spare room for something to wear and found my 5 buck skirt! I bought this, and a multi coloured one, for $5 each from some cheapie clothing store at Parkmore a few months back. I have been looking for the black skirt for the past week or so, and there is was this morning, lying on the floor of the spare room wardrobe. I like it because it is cheesecloth so is light and cool and also because it is not too “flarey” I have another black skirt (that cost $30) and its kind of fattening as is very “flarey” What do you think?

I love this top, have not really worn it yet as the straps are always falling down and cannot be adjusted which kinda sucks. I know I can sew them up but I don’t really do the sewing thing.

I am currently wearing my bronze crochet-ey shrug on top as its nice and coolish upstairs, I am sure I will get a chance to show off this top on my hellish bus ride home tonight… so soo soooo not looking forward to it.

By the way- I am totally in love with Natalie Bassingthwaites new song, Someday Soon! I love it, it is sooo inspiring. I feel really inspired at the moment. Have started to download my “Learn to speak Mandarin” mp3. Am making lists of things I need to do daily and attempting to get them done! Very proud. Below is the chorus of the song- how nice are the lyrics?

Someday soon you’re gonna catch that dream you’ve been chasing

Someday soon they’re gonna write your name in the sky

All you need is just to believe it

You know you’re my hero

You’re gonna be a star tonight

still not sure about these eye brows... hmm.. will get someone else to wax them next time...

Fatty Four-Eyes

far out i hate wearing my glasses.. not happy Jan!

My eye is better today J Still red, and am not taking any chances with any eye makeup or contacts, but yeah, feeling better!
Work is draining me today and I am scared of the 4 days of 40 degrees plus Melbourne is predicting this week. Hottest succession of days for a hundred years apparently!

OK So have decided today that yes, my no smoking is going very well- has now been 19 days now and two drunken binges included. However, I seem to have exchanged my nicotine addiction for chocolate because I am like a chocolate monster at the moment!! NO MORE AS OF TODAY!! Evil chocolate. As of tomorrow my posts will start with;
Days without cigarettes-
Days without chocolate-
Now- about my outfit today. These leggings were purchased yesterday from Best and Less. Yesterday I went to Karingal with the purpose of getting some leggings and pants/shorts for this hot weather. I know I am not supposed to be buying clothes but I really am sick of wearing skirts. I bought two pairs of the leggings for like $13 each, a pair of Lily and Lou black cuffed shorts for $15- they are awesome! Rather short.. which I like, for weekends however not work. They are really soft and comfy, I hate shorts that have a button and fly and that pinch! I Then I popped into Big W and nabbed a pair of dark denim cuffed short shorts- once again, awesome for after work/weekends but probably won’t wear for work. They are really cute but, I have been looking for some denim shorts (nice ones!) for ages. They were $10 on sale and are probably a size larger than I usually am, but they were the last pair and I guess because they are soo short, a larger size is not really a bad thing, haha. I also picked up a pair of ¾ jeans with embroidery on the bottom from Big W, full price $25. I would prefer these without the embroidery but couldn’t find any straight leg pull on ¾’s that were plain. All the button fly ¾ jeans are crazy baggy in the leg and made me look like a diesel dyke J not that there’s anything wrong with that….

OK yeah, so I was talking about my outfit today. The leggings… the leopard print shirt is an oversized shirt that I like to wear as a short short shirt dress with my brown belt. I bought it ages ago from Savers, didn’t wear it for ages because I wasn’t sure how I was going to wear it, until one day I chucked it on with leggings and my gold sandals and decided I liked it. At the moment I am also wearing my favourite oatmeal coloured cropped cardi from Savers, trying to hold onto the fact that this is probably the last time for the next few days that I will be in long sleeved J

Have a good day all!

Well that was the start of a HUGGGGGGE night. From what I remember, at the time, it was a great night, the best night. The next morning it was not the best night. Since Saturday night (it is now Monday night) I have developed a really bad eye infection (the doctor gave me anasthetic in the eye this morning- was weird) and am realllly tired. Back to work tomorrow oh joy aaand its going to be the hottest week ever- like late 30's/40's, gross. I am actually looking forward to winter :-)

Smiling having fun.. feeling like a number one

I wasn't let down tonight! I got what I wanted! :-) YAY!

Yup, well this is me today. I HAVE to be happy. Have been SUCH a sad sack this week and I'm sick of it!

I have been let down once again this morning. But I kind of expected it. I know you shouldn't expect bad things and I hate these loons who say- "expect the worst and you will never be disapointed" because really, that is so untrue lol. But anyway....

I am keeping myself busy and not letting things get me down- I am in charge of my own destiny not anyone else! It just IRKS me (haha) people who you RELY on to do stuff because they SAY they can do it, they WANT to do it, the don't MIND doing it. And then they don't do it. "Sorry, xyz happened..." and YOU feel bad then because they are doing YOU a favour! GRRRRR!!!!

So anyway... I wanted to wear jeans today. Even though it was meant to be 30 degrees (I say MEANT as it is sunny out now but not 30 degrees) so I am wearing my ankle length faded skinnies. I like these. The hem is a little frayed and I like it :-) They are from Savers.

I am wearing the leopard print bolaro thingy I bought last night at savers, all freshly washed :-) I quite like it, I think it will be a wardrobe regular. I like interesting bolaro/vest-ey things over jeans and a block print top. Curled my hair last night tooooo...

Very excited re this long weekend.. need a rest! am going to have a big night out saturday night i think, spend the day at the beach sunday, and monday- am not sure yet?! Ahh the possibilities!!

red white and navy floral a-line skirt worn high waisted- thrifted, savers

black slinky tank with black stone embellishment- best and less (woot woot)

I'm not posting what I actually wore. dont want to be reminder of the day anymore haha.

today was awful. Really Really awful. The kind of day that I need to look back at good days and remember that there is such a thing as a good day.

Without saying too much- I was up way too early (and changed my clothes 50 million times, see above) , plans were cancelled, hopes were shattered. I then had to put on a facade and pretend all was ok- when in reality- it soo wasn't. And just to top it all off, 34 steamy degrees ot unsensual humidity. Yay.

My husband is a darling and is very sweet. Let me winge and have a little cry, all while giving me happy cheesy little feel good quotes. I decided I would go past Savers on the way home and have a little $20 pick me up. I bought a grey and black leopard print short sleeved bolaro thing, a denim just-on-knee shift dress ( i tried it on with my black autograph waist belt, MUST be worn with a belt otherwise resembles a sack) and three Sweet Valley High books, including one I have been after for a looong time- I read it when I got home hehehe.

Being an EX team leader, I am NOT into quotes of any sort generally- but I need to learn how to pick myself up when things don't go my way or when I hurt. I am not the kind of person to ever close myself off and not experience life. I keep coming back for more and more and more. I take chances. So therefore, at times, I get shot down, I get hurt, I misjudge. And I need to cope with this kind of stuff better :-) so hence the below.. to make me feel better lol

Don't waste a minute being unhappy. If one window closes - run to the next window - or break down a door.

When one door of happiness closes another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you've attached to something not true for you.

and I thinnnkkk I need some SATC quotes to make the day complete;

carrie: this will always be known as the day that i got arrested for smoking a doobie.

Im gonna say the thing Im not supposed to say: I love you. but I love ME more~ Samantha to Smith

Charlotte: "Don't laugh at me, but maybe we could be each others soulmates? And then we could let men be just these great nice guys to have fun with?"

I swear, If I watched the SATC movie now, I would cry like a baby!! haha.. awesome movie.
OK peeps, 11:07pm, only 43 more minutes of this wacked out day to go- good riddance!

Dream Diva Review

sleepy eyes, straightened semi clean hair and freshly waxed brows- i think she overwaxed a bit :-( I like a healthy brow

long top/short dress- Dreamdiva

Once again- a puppy in my pic! Photogenic animals I have!

I later put leggins on and shoes of course before going to work.., I think bare legged would be ok for weekends... not for work but!

Hi hi hi

Yesterday went well- they thought at one stage they weren’t going to be able to do Dad’s procedure as his blood might have been too thick and they might have been in danger of causing a stroke, but they shoved a camera down his throat and checked for clots, got the all clear, so proceeded.. and he came home same day, which is awesome J

While he was getting the hour long procedure done Mum and I popped out and went for a walk down Bridge Road- I haven’t been there for a while, I went there a bit when I was organising the wedding and managed to get-
My shoes from Betts- Very cheaply
My birdcage from some weird arse shop- Very cheaply
ABL’s shoes from Betts- Very cheaply
My bridesmaid dresses from Daniela’s- Not sooo cheaply

Was very helpful. I love Bridge Road.

So anyway, Mum and I popped into Dream Diva which is a new plus size shop- they mainly work online but have a store in Richmond. They had OK stuff, some of it was kinda boring and outdated. I mean, much more up to date than Autograph for example (not that THAT is hard hehe) but still. I did find something though. Because I have so so soo much clothes I refuse to buy something at the moment unless it realllly appeals to me and is different, you know? Or if it is a staple, then I really have to need it. But anyway I found this cute green dress and I think they were trying to fob it off as a top but it is sooo a dress (I like to wear things short, I couldn’t care less about being huge, and anyway, that is why god invented leggings) It really appealed because a) it wasn’t black b) it had short cute sleeves and c) it was cute and has pockets and buttons!
Sooo.. was a good $49 purchase I think :-)
Mum then bought me some very cute ¾ purple ribbed PJ pants with lace on the bottom- ABL thinks they are very Elizabethian and I need a corset to go with my “pantaloons” haha.

I must say this about the store however- they have reallllly cheap pj's out the front at the moment. My 3/4 pants were only $10 and they had heaps of different 3/4 PJ pants and cute PJ singlets and nighties- all between $10-15.

Another thing I liked was they had a rack down the back with damaged clothes- like a really cute formal black dress, all sequin-ey and strapp-ey. It had a broken zip and they were selling that (and other broken zipped/missing button/ripped lace ensembles) for $20! I thought that was great because the rrp of that dress was like 80 odd dollars and I remember being in citychic just after christmas for the boxing day sales and finding a really cute yellow and black slip dress that I wanted. It was marked down to $50 but had a broken zip and they said they wouldn't give me another discount so I didn't buy it because it didnt really seem like much of a bargain.. but $20 for a formalish black dress with a broken zipper is awesome I think!

Anyway, the dress is above as I am wearing it today.... what do you think?

Hot Dirty Heat

why do my dogs always sneak into photos?

floral maxi- target

black belt- autograph

sunglasses- knicked from mums house

Yes yes I missed a few days- I was busy! and my ABL husband was rebuilding my home pc! Now it is super sensual and fast!I am not at work today, am off to the epworth with my parents as my dad is having a procedure done (heart related, he has heart disease) so here's hoping all goes well!
This is my maxi dress that I adore but feel funny wearing to work. I am a customer service account manager and I work in the office (don't see customers however, all over the phone) but I work in the transport industry and I work in a gross old warehouse/factory in deep Dandenong! Some of the girls wear nice stuff but some of the girls wear jeans, sneakers and those fleecy fluro jumpers day in. Or replace the jeans and jumper with 3/4's and a crappy old tee-shirt in hot weather. I soo cannot do that, I always dress up, but I feel like my maxi is a little too dressy for that place. Even though I am dying to wear it! Hence why I decided to wear it today! yay also for clean straightened hair too!

It is also about a billion degrees and its 9am- what the!

Bad Mornings and Fake Smiles

Messy study- ALL ME :-)

Bad day so far and it’s only 10:50am. It can only get better right? I have received some fantastic news over the past few days but I am feeling guilty for being really excited about it around certain people and that is making me upset and confused lol. So today I am tired and have sore eyes from last night. I am trying to keep my spirits up because this news is really fantastic and I know “certain people” are happy about it as well.. they are just not as excitable as me haha. This probably sounds weird but it’s really all I can say. That and that the news is fantastic yes, but may require some work and the next few months may be a little stressy and emotional. I think it will be worth it!

So I rolled out of bed with the resolve to get the bus and not get ABL to drive me- he has driven me all week so far as my D2 who usually drives me is not at work this week. I really couldn’t be bothered to find something nice to wear but had an idea in my head last night of what to wear- I must say, it looked better in my head and I also think it looks better in person than what it does on my photo haha- I did my own photography this morning too as ABL was still asleep when I left. I was after a casual look and was very happy it’s only 23 degrees today and not 40 billion degrees like it has been. It’s easier to be casual and mopey when the weather is shittier.

So yes, I got the bus. Was looking forward to half an hour of MP3 music- turned my player on and the battery died. Has pretty much summed up my day so far. Wah.

The Heat is on... on the street...

Strappy tribal print dress (w/removable straps, handy! lol)- Big W

Black belt- Autograph

Tie up thongs- Target

Wowee, is it hot! It sure is, I say!
Last night I believe it got to a low of 26 degrees- Yuckola. I slept in very little with a ceiling fan on me and a pedestal fan- our house is HOT! We have aircon, but the unit is right at the back of the house and it seems to cool the house a little- but not much! I even relocated the cat and her kittens to the bathroom today as it's cooler, she moved herself and her brood from the laundry to the study last week, IDKY, she has a bit of a fixation with the study. Weirdo.
Well, as we are heading for a top of 39 degrees today and it was already 33 degrees at 8:15am when I left the house, I decided I HAD to dress for coolness not flattering-ness or fashion nessessarily haha- hence why I went for a cool cotton strappy-ish dress and thongs- all this extra hair sure is hot but it assists in hiding some back fat heheh- gotta love that!
Actually I kinda like this dress, it has straps that attach to the dress with hidden buttons so you can wear it with straps or strapless- how handy! - and it is just a $15 Big W job! I have really hated their dresses this season- in the plus size wear anyway. They look nice on the racks or catalogue but on me they look like sacks- I kinda need to belt everything otherwise I look like I have no waist. I know they had maxi dresses there too a while back and I tried one on but it was that baby doll/empire line style where the top bodice is ruched and then flows, this style looks awful on me. I can do the straight across style neckline but only if the bodice is not ruched- I look pregnant if it is ruched. I bought a maxi from Target when I went shopping with Mumsy last week and OMG it is the best style for me- wore it out to lunch with a friend last week and I would have worn it to work today but I feel like it is way too dressy for this place :-) It is long, and watercoloured floral with thin straps (am also not a huge fan of a halter) it is empire line but has a cross over bodice (so is low and kind of deep) and then flows out- verrry flattering and verrry cheap at only $55.
So anyway yeah, Big W, not impressed with your plus size frocks this summer! Last summer I bought a beautiful empire line knee length black floral strappy dress with cutesy pockets and I looove it- has a wide skirt with an underlayer too, very pretty. Some of the dresses in their "normal" wear are ok, and if it is a stretchy material I can usually work the size 16- I have a few and I actually have seen a maternity dress there I really like, I saw it early spring then it disapeared. I have noticed it again so I thought it would be discounted, I very excitedly skipped off to the price scanner and it still scanned at full price- $29.95, which is cheap as, but I was really looking for a bargain in this case because I am not sure how much I like the dress and how much wear I will get from it- It is black with tiny white stars all over, knee length, empire line, cap sleeved. Hmm. Not suuurrreee....

Anyway, if you are in melbourne, try not to overcook today! Stay cool :-) haha

Feeling Hot Hot Hot...

who i am channeling today.. a fat version of haha

same off white crochet neckline tank as yesterday- Target

same brown belt- city chic (I loove this belt and wear like 5/7 days)

denim skater style high waisted skirt- City Chic (was actually a pinafore once but I modified)

Oh and ehre you can see the whole skirt, complete with cutesey pockets

Gold sandals- Kmart

Wow I am soo tired. I'm sitting here at work and I am struggling to keep the eyes open. And it's only 10am! wahh! Yesterday was a really good day, I was energetic and didn't even mind being back at work! I also got two pieces of really good news yesterday (nothing I can share, but reallllly good news!) Oh and one of my cats kittens has opened her eyes, aww soo cute. made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
37 degrees today. Phew!
By the way... 5 days strong.. smoking- zero, me- five :-)

You know, I was just thinking, yes I am tired and miffed and can't be bothered but it's really not too bad. I am having a humanitarian-ish moment. I mean, my life is pretty good. Am married to a wonderdul (at times haha) man, have great supportive parents/family and awesome friends. Have great clothes (I think tehe) enougn money to buy the things I need and sometimes the things I totally do NOT need. I have a job which allows me to randomly blog during the day (but NOT access facebook grr!) Life is good.

So, todays outfit. Hmm. I am a bit iffy about doing an on-the-knee/slightly-above-the-knee skirt WITH a singlet/tank (Usually I like to expose fat legs OR bingo wings NOT both but- 37 degrees, meh!) I am kinda channelling a fat version of Peaches Geldof today haha.

Have a good day!

Doggie- Roger the wonder dog

See, see, TOLD you I would post more often!

I kinda really like my outfit today and my hair extensions are much easier to manage when curled- when straight I have to brush them ALL the time (like, hourly!) otherwise they look messy and shit. Easier to go with the messy half curled kinda look so the mess looks intentional haha- method to my madness. This is my fave cardi ever. I love this singlet/tank too, I wanted to make the effort to not always wear black tops, I think black on top washes me out soo bad, but I just feel so comfortable in black tops. Meh.

First day back at work and no smoking. I had my break this morning and still went downstairs and sat with Christine while she smoked... didn't bother me. Where I work I am totally going to be exposed to smokers so I think its best to get used to it earlier rather than later. I am coping quite well but I need to remember its only day 4 and I am on patches so I am getting nicotene. Meh.

It actually isn't totally revolting being back at work. I mean, yes it sucks and I would MUCH rather be at home but hellloo reality, I guess in todays day and age we all have to work- I mean even when I eventually get pregnant and birth Abby/Jasper I will have to go back to work after 6 months, who can afford to be at home? I wish :-(

Anywaaayyy.. I guess Christmas/New Year is officially over now :( what is the enxt holiday? Australia Day? That will do me!

Have a great day all and I hope you enjoy me blogging more often.. if anyone is reading that is hehe :-)

Me, last night before going out. Wearing old old old Big W beaded halterwith ruffles, Big W skinnies and kmart Gold sandles. I am like a department store advertisment.

Me on holidays in Coffs Harbour, wearing Dior shades, Black v neck short black babydoll dress, city chic. Brown belt- CC

OK Yes, yes, I WILL post more. I guess this could be one of my new years resolutions! I am day three into my first resolution- to quit smoking! I am really proud actually because I went out last night and drank and drank and did not smoke! I think I identified that I am more a habit smoker rather than addiction, so all I need to do is make sure I am kept busy so I don't miss the ritual. I know it is going to get harder but I am super determined.Anyway, more resolutions!
To quit smoking, as I said above duhTo lose 20 kgs by EasterTo be tidy and organisedTo stop saying fuck so much.. my language embarrasses me :-( haha
So anyway, ABL and I got back from our mini 'moon last week. We went to Coffs Harbour for the week, it was fantastic! Stayed on the beach, it was hot, it was sensual, the beach was awesome, the seafood was TDF, etc etc. I misss it already, as I look out the study window now melbourne is kinda grayish/white clouds, no blue sky and maybe 20 ish degrees- pooh.
Back to work tomorrow- vomit vomit vomit.

Bye bye, promise will update more frequent xx
