Message of Support to the Troops

Happy Anzac day long weekend!

Just wanted to let you all know about the Message to the troops event that Telstra are doing - http://anzacday.telstra.com/event (and no, I'm not affiliated at all ;o) )

It takes 30 seconds to type your message and have it sent off.

I've sent off a couple already, and plan on heading back there again =)

I'm sure they all appreciate the messages of support - because it's all about supporting them I don't care what you think about "the war" (and don't even get me started - I'm an Army family), and the government, you have to support our troops. Because they are what makes this country truly wonderful. And I know that it made me comforted to know that when my father was overseas, that people supported him, and cared.

They make us proud to live in the best country in the world. Australia.

So, no pressure at all..... GO NOW!
haha.

I think we're off to the dawn service somewhere close tomorrow morning.... it should be nice I think. Foggy and what not. we'll see if I can get some decent pictures....

Which reminds me. I have my review of Paul Dempsey's gig at the Metro last Sunday to put up. And my trip to the Art gallery. We finally went people! Oh, the purchases!

Alright, cup of tea time, and time for a revamp!

Nail Polish! Nail Polish!!!

Seriously Good Haul!


It's here! Nothing like coming home to packages.

And perfect timing too, i need something to cheer me up. My wallet was stolen at work.... NOT happy.
I work in a secured environment, so only people who have passes can get in... There goes the money I was going to use to buy my boyfriends birthday present for this Sunday.

My life. Welcome!

But I have these beauties to console myself with.....

Haha, I knew I ordered a lot, but whoa! I ordered one lot from transdesign, and the other from 8ty8beauty. They both got here on the same day, and were ordered on the same day. So, can't complain! =) And even better, 8ty8 threw in a double of "Catherine the Grape" - should keep the sis happy!

I have no idea why I ordered sooo many purple shades....

Should be fun picking which to use first!

Hope your day was better than mine lovely ladies!

Happy Easter!!! - and waiting for nail polish

Happy Easter!!!

Aah, a long weekend. Such a glorious, wonderful thing. Enjoy it!

I was talking to my boyfriend the during the week about how when I was younger my Mum and Dad used to give us little mini egg hunts in the house when we were younger - we'd wake up to a trail of mini eggs that would lead to various 'stashes" off eggs.


There would be multiple tracks of the main track, and we would always end up with a decent pile of eggs - not to mention the good ol' traditional bunny that we got every year. It made such great memories, ones now that make me so grateful for the family that I have.

Well, guess what. The boyfriend had never had a hunt like that. Maybe they don't do them in Denmark, I don't know (Moved over here when he was 8...). But I couldn't help but be crushed for him. He seemed fine, like he always is, and didn't mind. But I had it set in my mind - I was going to do it!

So, of course, work and home is crazy the next couple of days, and before I know it, it's Thursday night.. and we're doing the shopping because, this is the mountains. Everything will be shut! I remember my plan, and think *Holy crap!* and make the bf drop me off outside on of the larger supermarkets in Springwood and I run in and grab what I can find. Of course, this being me, they don't have half of what I need.

I spend a good 15 minutes pacing up and down the aisles, grabbing what I can and trying to envision what I can do with it..... I won't need too many will i?

Haha! $86 later, and out I come (not feeling too silly as there as another lady in there doing the same), and off home we go, making sure to not break the eggs that I could have bought a nice skirt with.
Sunday (this) morning comes around, and I groggily get up at 7:30 to set up the trail - sternly telling the bf to not get out of bed - and to not let the cat outAustralia’s oldest surviving gold rush town of the bedroom - he'd have a field day!

I did what I could, with what I had, and he seemed pretty happy. Not to mention, Albus had a ball with some of the eggs left over on the floor.


Then time for a nice, healthy breakfast of bacon and eggs - with tomato! It's okay, there was some kind of vegetable there..... ;o)


Late lunch right now of yoghurt and fresh raspberries.... Mmm.... soo good....

and soooo fulll!

This and chocolate is the only thing making me not grr that my nailpolish orders - two - still aren't here from the US yet... it's been two weeks! *sniff*.... I know, it is Easter....

Eat and be merry my fellow bloggers!

Renos and Gardening

Well, things are starting my friends!

As I speak, the bf is in the kitchen, measuring up some thing for the cupboards/cabinets... I have no idea.... but the point is it's all happening!!!

The rubbish pile is gone:
and I'm starting to buy plants and pots for the garden and out the front. There's just something about flowers that are just relaxing. So pretty.

We have to separate the tomato plants and give them some more room - they're growing so fast!



I have no idea how they'll go in winter - perhaps not that well? I can only research, and see how we go... I am thinking of growing some potatoes... apparently they do well in winter? Is anyone growing any vegies?

Camping at Sofala

Happy Easter everyone!

My Internet is finally up and running at home and I actually have some time, so it's time for posts! =)
Last weekend I gave myself an extra long weekend and took Thursday - Monday off. Bliss!
We decided to head out to Sofala, as we do, for camping. Sofala is just out of Bathurst, about 40minutes or so (?) and has to be one of my favourite places of all time. So so beautiful. Aah, the serenity.

Sofala is Australia’s oldest surviving gold rush town, with it's tiny little houses, cute little cafes and trinket shops in its 2 street town, surrounded by hills, you'll fall in love. Well, perhaps not. But obviously, I have. We've been coming here for about 2 years now, the bf even longer. It's our little piece of heaven.


Clyde loves camping =)

I used the time to catch up on some reading - please excuse the state of my nails. I know, chipped nail polish. I'll put some polish remover in the camping kit =)


There's nothing quite like getting away from it all, no phone reception, no tempting TV, or computer..... and yum, bananas in foil on the coals - with melted rolo =) SOOOO good!

Enjoy your long weekend guys - a big YAY for one more day off! =)
