Miss Shaw #2

  • 12 hours ago
  • Post a comment

I had another busy weekend! Let's start with

 

Friday

I swapped shifts and worked in the morning, and after work I walked across the bridge to Pyrmont and met Anna at her school. I got left in the staffroom for a while, and then after lunchtime ended, we went to Anna's class.

 

It's been a while since I've been around ANY kids, let alone like, 20 of them. They called me 'Miss Shaw #2' and I had forgotten how much touching and poking and moving and such that small children do. Like, get off me, stop TOUCHING, LOL.

 

Seriously though, they were totally cute! I told them about my upcoming italy trip (my sister wanted me to give them news) and they asked me relevant questions, such as - what's your favourite colour? how old are you? what's your favourite colour? favourite car? animal? etc.

 

I helped them with some numeracy and literacy and probably scarred them for life, haha! afterward, Anna and I went to Darling harbour for gin and tonic, followed by burgers at Hurricanes! epic!

 

They have these crazy flames behind a glass wall -

Then we went to bondi and watched 'the proposal' again, god that movie is just so funny, and RR is unbelievably gorgeous! seriously! his character is such a perfect catch - loves his job, (has a job!) good work ethic, gorgeous, dresses nicely, has rich, lovely parents, likes animals, loves to travel... what's not to like!

Saturday was boring, but then on Sunday mum and I went for a walk in the park, then i had a late breakfast with Anna in Newtown. Then we hired twilight and laughed at how badly acted the movie was. She's just started reading the books so she wanted to see the film. It's even worse on a small screen than it is at the movies! too funny.

The teapot at the place we had breakfast had these cool handles on the teastrainers that had letters - funnily enough mine was an R (for Rosie):

anyway. I'm off for dinner with Celia now, so ciao voxies!

The return of the 'Rents!

Yay!

my parents returned from their trip to europe today!

Eyeroll though, their flight was massively delayed, which was so frustrating, we got to the airport at 6:30 am, but their flight was delayed until 10:05 am! what the!

anyway, I helped them unpack and heard about their trip, and they gave me a few little gifts:

Baltic Amber Earrings

Pink wireless Mouse

they got this mouse for themselves, but they gave it to me because they know how much I love pink!

Mum thinks I should frame it. I think it'd look nice with a mushroom coloured backing sheet and a really dark brown frame, but I wont get it done until I return from Europe myself.

Then the kilt/tartan skirt that they ordered should be showing up fairly shortly... so my waiting list is currently:

bunny tshirt
tourist shorts
pink usb drive that's taking a bajillion years to arrive
kilt/tartan skirt

It's good to have them back. Anna's come over to get her gifts and have dinner with us, which is nice, but I've been put in charge of collecting the take away pizza, so that's it from me!

ciao voxies!

Shorts and Shirts. Internet Shopping, I ♥ you

My latest online purchases. I've convinced myself that I was justified in purchasing them because

 I need them for my trip

I'm going to bankrupt myself with this justification, haha!

I got this tshirt from etsy.com, seller Deadworry: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5448347

Etsyshirt

I thought it would remind me of my baby Willum when I'm overseas. It was a bargain, only $32 including postage!

I also bought this pair of shorts from ebay. New, unworn, with tags, only $27.00 including postage.

The only thing I'm waiting on for delivery is these, plus my mini USB stick. I'm starting to think it will never turn up. I've been waiting a whole month so far. Sigh.

Monday Morning Drama

  • 6 days ago
  • Post a comment

So I'm almost ready for work, planning to go in early to bank my travel grant cheque from uni, and get my phone sorted. I hear this loud clatter, followed by repetitive thumping. What on earth?


so i run out of my room and follow the sound into the laundry. Willum had got in behind the washing machine, and some things had fallen down on top of him and obviously terrified him. He was stamping repeatedly and shaking, all covered in dust. Poor baby!

I tried everything I could do to get him to hop out back the way he came, but he was too terrified, so instead I had to push everything off the top of the washer, climb on top and pull him out from above. He was totally stressed out and as soon as I put him on the floor after cuddling him and brushing all the dust off, he went straight under my bed and hid.

I felt really guilty leaving for work, I hope he's alright. Stupid animal, I still have no idea what happened, how he got in there and  what fell on top of him! poor baby!

Anyway. That was the start to the week! I still need to get my phone fixed, I'm going into the vodafone store after work, and they're having a look at it for me. Then I have washing to do, so that M + D come back to an empty laundry, ready for their stuff from their trip.

AND! I have to get up really early on wednesday to get them from the airport. Not cool. Grumble, lol!

You know when you go out on friday night, which makes the whole weekend seem like a billion times longer?

well Jasmine had her farewell on friday, I met her after work for drinks at the hotel where she works. Then we met the girls at Crystal Bar, Martin place, and had pizza, cheese and a really nice L'Abruzzo red. Afterward we went to Martin Place bar for more cocktails and dancing to Mickey J. I can't believe the king of pop is really gone. If anyone ever asks me what I was doing the nightMichael Jackson died, I can tell them I was dancing to 'Blame it on the Boogie' in a bar in Martin Place. We got home around midnight, and then...

Saturday

Anna and I did a massive clean of the house - vaccuum, mopping, laundry, everything - so that my parents will come home to a really nice tidy house on wednesday. We went out for coffee at Centennial Park cafe, which has such a nice view, it's really been designed to make the best of the landscape.

Sunday
Anna and I had breakfast at Spicer Street Cafe in Woollahra, which was quite nice, I preferred her egg and bacon roll with cheddar and mayonaise to my organic porridge with strawberries, brown sugar and rhubarb, since mine was a bit too cold.
Afterward, I read the paper and had a nap, and then I met Celia for dinner.

We had thai, and OMG they have fortune cookies now! mine said:


a thrilling time is in your immediate future

woohoo! I hope they mean good thrilling, not bad thrilling!

MoBlogging and other excitement

  • Jun 25, 2009

I'm trying to set up my phone so that I can blog on the go. Exciting stuff!


But even more exciting was yesterday. After another eye appointment to try and figure out why they're so incredibly itchy, I drove out to Macquarie to pick up my travel grant, and while I was there I saw this adorable sign - it's a special drop off and pick up spot opposite the shopping centre and close to the uni:

Kiss and Ride
Kiss and Ride

Now that I'm almost finished my degree, I'll never get a chance to Kiss and Ride!


Afterwards drove to Penrith Westfield to meet Bec from MUT. It's pretty exciting meeting someone from online, especially when you feel that you know them pretty well - there's always the possibility that in person they just won't be at all like they're online self, but B was exactly like she is online. I had such a good time, she bought me a gorgeous birthday present:

A book to read on the plane - Eat Pray, Love (which I have been meaning to read and almost bought with one of my book voucher) - I'm going to save it for the flight, although I'm itching to start it.

Eat, Pray, Love
Eat, Pray, Love
Elizabeth Gilbert
She bought me a box of LE Lindt Chocolates - dark choc with rasperry. Delicious. Also, a pink beret, a magic makeup removing mitt from Jane Iredale, and a day palette from JI as well - the shadow colours in it are oyster, almond, cappucchino, dark suede and charcoal. I tried it today and it was lovely - really finely pigmented and silky.

We chatted and had lunch, she brought an adorable little mudcake from Michel's and put a candle in it! We wandered around the shops and ended up buying a bag each - I'll post a picture a bit later when I take one.

Here is the beret - I put a cute snowflake pin on it, totally 'Baby Sitter's Club' style. I was reading some hilarious blogs that talk about what the characters from the BSC book series were wearing - since the books were published in the late 80s and 90s there are some pretty trippy outfits in there, and they were always wearing berets with pins on them - probably pins they'd made themselves - that's the kind of girls they were (I'm having a private lol here)

Face: missha bb cream gold mixed with ambre solaire sunscreen chanel incognito blush with a dash of MAC MSF blonde over the top Eyes: Jane Iredale day makeup palette, I used cappucchino over the entire moving lid, and dark suede on the crease, a touch of oyster on the lower inner corner, and dark suede on the outer lashline. MAC fluidlines in dipdown on upper lashline, Lancome L'extreme mascara layered with Clinique High Impact mascara Lips: nothing brows: should have been something, they look GREY! but they're au naturele, lol

So, I'm officially venti quattro anni. Today was fun. At work, I got strawberry cheesecake, a fluffy scarf and hat, an adorable pink card with a bunny and cupcakes on it, and an early mark.

Then my friends came over and Jasmine made us roast. As per usual, I'll list my haulings, accompanied by photos!

my grandma:

$200 cheque.

My parents:
my own tarot book to go with my mini-tarot deck.
3 piece jammies set
(they also paid for a lot of my mini laptop, and they're bringing me back a woolen skirt in my clan tartan from their trip to europe that probably cost them an arm and a leg )

my sister:
'woodsmoke' country road bag - I'm stoked about this one, I'm using it as hand luggage and it's almost an exact match for my suitcase
$20 bookstore voucher! yay! books for the plane!

My friends:
J
this gorgeous bag that she said was for 'school' in italy - it's so ME! and it fits my laptop and loads of books and rolls up pretty flat! perfect!
silicone, heatshaped cupcake moulds. Can't wait to try them out!

C (the florist)
these beautiful flowers
voucher for eyebrow, brazilian and underarm wax! I told her I needed/wanted these before I leave for europe
pyjamas with cupcakes on

My work:
matching scarf and hat set. They're really fuzzy/warm!

This part actually really stressed us all out a little. It's getting to the point where having the actual number of candles of how old you are is dangerous. We were worried that we'd set off a smoke alarm or burn something!

It was a good birthday. Willum ran around underfoot and scared jasmine to death when she ran into my bedroom and he ran out at the same time. It was really different, my parents not being there, but I still had a good time. My mum's card was my favourite - it's two little mice playing in someone's makeup, wearing false eyelashes as wigs. Too adorable.

That's it from me! night from your newly mid 20's blogger! ciao voxies!

Birthday Eve

  • Jun 21, 2009
  • 1 comment

Tonight is my birthday eve. I'm going to sit in with a glass of wine, watch Miss Marple on the ABC and luxuriate in my last night of 'early twenties' ness.

Last night was lovely, we had dinner at the Westin Restaurant, Mosaic - it was probably more suited to dinner with my parents and my sister, as it was really quite expensive, although we did enjoy ourselves, the decor there is stunning.

It's a heritage building, and they've put a roof over what would have been an outdoor piazza, so you feel like you're outside, and the original walls look like external walls, but you're inside.

We had dinner there, and then went to Orbit lounge down the road, which is a revolving bar with gorgeous views of Sydney including the Opera house and the Harbour bridge

Then this morning, I dropped Alison off at the station, and then Anna and I went for breakfast, we went to 'coffee cup on crown' in Surry Hills. It was really quite nice - they had comfortable window seats with cushions.

Afterward we went shopping at Broadway. I bought another sheer bra by Freya - I thought it would be good to have a few that will dry quickly.

Anyway. I'm watching Miss Marple - Pocket full of Rye now, so night night voxies!

Ginger Biscuits

Willum is too funny. I'm sitting on the floor, watching Kate and Leopold (love that movie) - with a cup of decaf and some ginger biscuits, and Willum hops over, and eats my ginger biscuit! I was like, what the?! since when do rabbits like ginger.

I think every friday should have some old fashioned romance, don't you?
