Took a lot of photos...


I set myself up a little self portrait studio in the backyard tonight, set my camera to take a photo once a minute, had my backdrop sheet and my furry floor cover. Of 173 photos, I think I got about ... 10 good ones, maybe.

Excitment! Last week after all the hooha about not enough publishable layouts being submitted to the magazines I emailed a double page l/o off to scrapbooking memories. Now it could be, that it was a double and I understand there is a demand for double page layouts. Or, it could be that it really is a cool looking l/o because I get an email back from the Technical Editor asking that I send in the l/o for consideration and photography. Hehehehe! Either way I'm very excited!

And thats about it.

I've been a bad blogger, not keeping up the blog. I'll try harder in the future in case someone somewhere ever wanted to know.

BTW it's fun to wear your BFs deoderant, when he's not around you can still smell him :o)

Who knew...

Man I've unintentionally gotten a whole lot of knickers in a not!
bludy hell.
on another matter. a once good friend of mine who has been wrapped up in himself and his girlfriend for the past 9 months. piked on me many a many a time and then given me bullshit BULLSHIT excuses as to why has contacted me. we'll both be festivalling next month and I wonder if me and mine will be the only people he knows who is going and wants to get back in good incase he wants to hang. which I doubt he will because he's so wrapped up in himself and gf that he'd 'meet you there in an hour' and never show up.
I want to write him a long, detailed email about how his behaviour made me feel like shit and that there would have to be quite an effort on his part to repair the damage to our once great friendship.

mmm. I made a ticker.

I usually hate these things 'My baby is 4months 3 days 2hours 5mins 37seconds old!!!' gag!
But, seeing as I'm super proud of myself and the whole 'I went to the gym every weekday last week and again today'

I've discovered another food I previosly hated that I know seem to love, of all things it would have to be BANANAS. The Most Expensive Fruit in Australia. Today I ate 2. lol.
On the w/e me and mum reorganised the scrap - I mean spare - room. we took the doors off one cupboard and have instant shelves and less stuff in the table. I've not had a chance to actually use the room as the w/e was quite busy but it looks very groovy.
maybe a picture later on.
I'm about to be stuck on a call and after I should be finished here at work, I already spoke to this woman tonight!! gah! the stupid people!! the stupid people!!!! :(

Today I went to the gym

I'm so proud of myself! I joined up and looked around and made appointments for being told how fat and unfit I am and appointments to be shown how to get thin and fit lol. I'm very excited. Then I went on the treadmill for a half hour and the bike for 10 mins. Not an olympic effort but a good start.
Saturday just past was the work social club ball, was a great deal of fun - although I did suffer from a pounding headache all night so didn't drink even close to my portion of the open bar. Caught up w/ Jeremy and co at Back in the Day and managed to stay awake, he kept asking if I was angry w/ him and I kept saying no, I have a massive headache and me feet feel unspeakably bad. So then at the end of the night after my Karakara picked up and we all caught a cab back to Brighton, when Jeremy suggested we go back to John's place for a drink I could have burned a hole through his head with the evils I was giving him.
I was outraged, but the next day when discussing the matter w/ him he told me he had no idea that leaving wasn't my suggestion and a) wasn't aware he was trampling on pick up time and b) wasn't aware that staying at BITD was an option. I swiftly told him that staying at BITD wasn't an option at all as I was tired and felt ill. However I'm a bit annoyed that he would willingly and wantonly stay out enjoying himself while I'm looking like I'm about to die or faint. As it was I had to force him to leave from John's although as I said at the time and meant it then and now, 'you don't have to come with me but I HAVE to sleep, I cannot remain awake any longer' he still came and my was I glad when we rocked into the kitchen at Jermey's place at 4am and his parents were up eating breakfast! that would have been uncomfortable had I let him stay.
Ok that was some long post.
My throat hurts and I've been drinking nice warm sugary tea - reversing all the good I did at the gym no doubt!
mm.
gots to go find some food to eat.
check the pretties I made for stupid Jeremy head (really I love him very much).
you can see the whole thing here.

This is so cool

ah, I've always been easily excited. goes along with getting mad, happy and sad real quick and easy. but that favourite new store of mine, has a could become 'scapfamous' (it's my new word, because only scrapbookers have any idea who the hell these people are) scrapper on their design team. if the shoe fits is her blog and her work is STUNNING. i totally want to be all scrapfamous. i totally don't have the time to scrap enough! :( oh well, I could be scraplocalfamous? thats as good.
I wonder if ever I became scrapfamous or even scraplocal famous this post would kick me in the arse? mmm. eh, I doubt either of those things would happen. but I hope if either of those things happened it wouldn't be the being arse kicked.... night!!

My Everyday 2006

hello everyone and no one!!
well, I did say it could take months to do the day in the life LO, but it didn't and its done and I'm shamelessly in love with it. I hope no one's already done something TOO similar. I think it's very cute w/ the 'case file look'.
Anyways it's late and still have to call back BF who I'm mad at for being a stupid head and then getting mad at me for getting mad at him. gah!!!
enjoy!!
mmmm. Can't seem to get my pics uploaded so go here to see :)

4 posts and I'm awol.

how frustrating!
Am very low on energy at the moment, I'm not too sure where it all went but it's gone!
Today I built this. I was VERY proud of myself! Will post a photo of it in real life.
Did a cute little LO last week about my and my partner's love of the Battleships game. Haven't uploaded the pics yet, so I'll post a different layout and post the Battleship one later on the weekend.
mm, I can't actually see these picutres here at work. But they're of the same page the photo has a hidden hinge and opens to reveal the more personal journalling. Paper is black that came out of the page protectors, paint and stamps are Making Memories as are teh black rubons. The title for this layout is "Chill". I got my Meredith Music Festival tix in the post and got all scrappy! I can't wait and have almost started counting the days. Certainly the weeks, just 10 more to go!!!
