Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

 
I was wondering why I was using up so much credit on my cell phone, those damn mice have been taking off with my phone when I'm not looking. Check this out.

Leah, Gwenth Paltrow, Heather Graham and now Holly Valance don't fancy British men. I smile, shake my head slowly from side to side and keep my comments to myself.....

Over the past few weeks, a number of people who I'd lost touch with along the way varying from a few months to years, seem to be making their way back into my life. Life is weird sometimes.

Did anyone know that Nikka Costa had married sweet, sweet Justin Stanley? (Noiseworks) I'm so behind the times....

I am yet to mention the Jessica and Holly case on this blog, although I have been keeping a close eye on the media coverage over the past few weeks. I remember being 11 years old, and talking about the news involving the disappearance of Samantha Knight in the school playground. Fifteen years later and someone is finally convicted. If/When I become a parent, I hope I don't become too protective of my own children.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where in Greece I should go? Thinking Saronic Gulf Islands. Close to Athens and other islands....or Mykonos like Shirley Valentine - (lyrics).

I heard this morning that Tomb Raider 2 is going to be filmed in Wales...

A four day weekend results in me having to catch up on work over the next few weeks. Think I may work late tonight, anything to get out of the task of packing my things at home. HATE living out of a suitcase and I know I'll have to do it again for a few months....
I've noticed I've begun to say "bye-bye" at the end of phone calls. Really beginning to annoy myself....

My office has been painted. Originally I had chosen a Appleblossom pink, but then changed my mind at the last minute as it looked dreadful. Now have my office painted a pale blue. Just hope these paint fumes go away in the next few days...make me a little light headed....I now want my new desk....and perhaps a Aeron chair??

Farnsy don't be holding your breath for a call from The Espy. Somehow, I cannot see it happening....(too much pointing??!!)

And so Joe finishes his temping assignment. Guess since I've been tempting for quite a while now, I could relate to a lot of his stories.

Not sure if the proposed Batman versus Superman movie will be a success. Don't the superheros both fight for good?

Someone has turned into a grumpy, broke, Australian traveller. Oh, that must be me....

Thank you to the fireman who took time out of their semi-naked photo shoot to answer the fire alarm here at work. We appreciate it.

Cannot get the music of Tindersticks out of my head. Consider them the UK version of Canada's Gordon Lightfoot. Produce really addictive, easy listening albums....

This was at the closure of a forwarded email : Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

Architects of Air, the homepage is awesome. Check out the outside, but also the pics from the inside. Still getting over the excitement of Sunday's outing!

Met up with a 'blast from the past' last night. It was weird.

Yesterday I went to a luminarium, to see Architects of Air. We were all very impressed.

Hopefully post some of the photographs I took myself from inside the luminarium. Wonder if they'll turn out anything like this...

Weekend nearly here. Starbucks is calling - have not indulged in nearly two weeks. Due to a refusal to go to Starbucks last weekend, we ended up in Cafe Nero - not that impressed. Hopefully booking tickets to Spain this weekend and should have organised Edinburgh for next weekend. Finally, some interesting stories to tell!

And the suprise was....a SUPRISE party for Jonny. HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY JONNY!. Have spent the last week organising people, changing dates numerous times, but finally pulled it off. Didn't consider the fact that the poppers would set off the smoke alarm. All was good though - we even had 2 birthday cakes.

Congratulations on your 14 year anniversary Jacqui. You are a million dollar Woman!!

It has just hit 22 degrees, three people have entered my office in the last ten minutes complaining about the heat!! Certainly better than the rain (or should I say flooding) of the past week.

This blog, Trials of a Bored Office Temp is rather amusing....

And to believe Australia lost Rolf Harris to the Brits.
Has the person who lit Ash Wednesday ever been caught? After this article, I have my suspicions.....

Thanks Airdrie for the link of Vancouver scenes. You know I don't need much convincing to come back!

This weekend = busy!
Suprisingly good considering I sat through a 80 minute New Zeland versus Australia Rugby game (admittedly I was catching up on the celebrity gossip rather than actually watching....). Not bothered that Australia won - just happy it was finally over.
Sunday morning we were woken by LOUD dance music blaring from a house across the street. Not impressed. Friend up from London and we did end up having a rather exhausting social schedule considering nothing was planned. Five days of rest until the next one begins!!

"Daredevil"
What is your Austin Powers Spy Name?

Went to see Austin Powers 3 - Goldmember last night. Was extremely funny (hilarious!). You got an issue? Have a tissue! Wish I could remember more quotes/sayings. Fantastic cast, Micheal Caine was brilliant! Think another viewing may be in order!

A remake of Freaky Friday? This was my favourite movie when I was a child. Then along came BMX Bandits....

The handcrunch...
Okay, so perhaps its my fault as I wear rings on my right hand, but I don't expect them to permanently disfigure my hand. Three rings were just crunched into my bones during and overly-enthusiastic handshake with a new colleague. I'm all for a firm grip, but that was ridiculous! I wonder if she noticed the tears welling in my eyes.....
Went out for a few drinks with Jonny and Iain last night. Very excited about Spain. Only dilemma is one or two books? Should I take the "back up" book? (anyone that knows me well, knows about my "back up" theory in regards to certain aspects of life - it has worked extremely well in the past.....)
