Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

 
This is an outrage. What kind of parents have I raised?

Thanks to Jay, Sonya and Express Post, I am now in possession of an outfit to wear to Tanya and Arthur’s wedding this weekend. The original outfit I had purchased suffered from a “wardrobe malfunction”. No, there was no exposure, just the beads were falling off the top I had originally purchased. Saco and Ingrid are also getting married this weekend in Holland. Wish I could have attended both weddings, but unable to due to timing....oh, and finances...

Everybody has gone football mad! I’m sure it wasn’t this bad before I went away, but I have had 5 invites to different BBQs/functions involving the watching of the Australian Football League grand final. Thankfully Tanya and Arthur have planned their wedding for the same day. Some relief from the football mania!!

Was reminiscing of a story from last weekend this morning on the way to work. Had to hold back the giggles.

While cleaning up on the Sunday morning after the cocktail party at Jay’s parents place, we were putting glasses etc. back on the bar. Someone found a brown leather box (the box looked like it could have held cremation remains) and had a peek inside. After smelling it, decided it was chocolate, a few people had a taste test.

Brett was quick to yell across the room “Stop you're eating grandpa!!”

Perhaps you just had to be there….

I will do everything in my power to avoid the television tonight – the Brownlow Cup is on. It would have to be the most boring television program of all time. Not even going to risk going to the gym just in case it’s on there….

One for Saco; as overheard on the flight back to Melbourne last night:

Passenger one referring to the turbulence “this flight is a bit bloody rough”
Passenger two in response “yeah, its as rough as guts”.

Sometimes I am embarrassed by the general public....


Congratulations to Johnny and Robyn on the birth of their daughter Kiara.

I’m presuming that’s me smelling like fake tan…..

Another helicopter crash.

Yet another helicopter crash. Helicopters are evil!

Think I’m going to regret not wearing in my new shoes. Party this weekend in Sydney and I’ve worn them for a total of 10 minutes in the house….

The Band in a Bubble - Regurgitator. Went for a look-see on Friday night - about as interesting as David Blaine's stunt, but not by much.... (both events are rather boring, but place anyone in a glass box and I’m sure to be there!!!)

Driving to work this morning, I saw petrol on sale for 109.9 cents per litre – ridiculous!! (I’m sure when I re-read this a year from now, I’ll be thinking – bargain!!) I want to make a stand and not buy petrol, but I have so much running around to do this weekend, I don’t think I’m going to have any choice….

In recent weeks I have bought a pair of dress shoes and a new pair of sneakers. I think I am going to have to return them, having tried on again at home, they both seem too small. Friend has comically pointed out that it could be due to the sessions at the gym that I’ve actually built up muscles in my feet. Wonder if there is a Miss Muscle Foot competition in Australia???
