SPECIAL DELIVERY
i had a little noisy visit from Alicia and Bee lastnight, which was a special delivery for me. Alicia just got back from Queensland and was claiming that she had a present for me that was going to make me love her guts out, and although i begged to differ as i found that very hard to believe :) i do infact love her to bits. like SOO SOOOO much. She gave me a black dress with a pink skull printed down the front on the left, its heaven. and although it is absolute perfection i do indeed need to do some adjustments and will transform that baby into a skirt in no time. i was keen to keep it as a dress but feel i need to have some more length, therefore opting for the skirt. gotta unpick the lace and put that somewhere oh its gonna be the best thing ever. So it is only Wednesday but with a little cut and sew i already have my weekends outfit picked out. Due to the fact that i am being wrongfully accussed of scratching someones transportation, i have decided to play it up a little bit and make a top in celebration. i am some how going to transfer an image of a scooter (have 2 picked out already, one with a real funky spacey scooter or one with a green witch driving it, BOTH GREAT) witht he words "i didnt do it!" printed on it. so thinking i do that on a balck jumper type thing and wear it with my skull piece.... in the hope tht i offend the accussing even more. I'm getting the blame for it, god i wish i did scratch his precious bike!!
i am going to be a very busy girl.
As if she bought me a dress, thats by far the sweetest thing ever, i love it and her guts out!!!

if i was a colour, today i would be green

i did have all these things on the tip of my tongue to write here next time i had the chance but of course now i cant think of much to write, might have something to do with the banging and crashing of the folding machine, operating beside me, oh the noise! i have tagged along with my sister who has to finish some stuff at work, and as always finding myself quite comfy in someone elses office chair. i have never had an office job and therefore i am very interested in having a little nosey around. i love pretending i have an executive type of job as much as i love a good newsagent! i dont know that i could be confind to such small areas with other people though, petitions are just pretend walls and hey i need my personal space, and definetly dont need to be breathing in somebodys coffee stench, that is such a violation!. oh that remeinds me, i was driving to a friends house Saturday night and i was stopped at the lights when i smelt the near by fastfood scent woffting through my vents and in to my car. i had no control, what was i to do? later on i swear i could smell it on me.sik sik yuk i tell ya.
The fact that i get frustrated with people getting carsick, has came up a couple times this week. man it annoys me. infact i HATE it, not saying that i have never felt a little whoosy while travelling but hey do ya hear me go on about it? i think its just yet another attention seeking ploy and its about time people grew up and delt with this potential social problem. Everyone would rather sit in the front then the back, we all know that, but lets be civil about it and not use carsickness as an excuse, as to why you cant sit in the back. My sister cant even read a road map or signs while in a car, i mean come on......
i must sound like such an angry girl, but hey its funny.
my new legwarmers have now doubled as armsocks, oh those little babies are gonna get me through winter. i am still on the hunt for the perfect pair of mittens or gloves, looking looking.
thinking i had better get a hair cut this week. ya know how you always need a new style to go along with the new season, and well since i am pretty much style free at the moment i guess the only way to go is up. Saw the perfect cut in a hairdressers window so might have to go to them. (scared that i will get too much cut off again and wont be able to pull off beanies to their full potential, oh well, lets live a little Kate, keep it real!)

feeling the pressure feel the frustration

well it seems like its been a life time since i have turned on the computer and given my index fingers a little work out but although i am highly medicated i am here to stay. ouch i have been living with an agonising tooth ache this week which has been giving me too much grief, and although it sounds dramatic and weak, it was infact disgusting and painful. so just been eating codiene and keeping happy. as Kylie says.. you'll never get to heaven, if your scared of getting high.....i'm sure that includes dealing with a tooth ache. Go to the dentist?...NO i will NOT

i just typed this 20 minutes worth of entry up, to find that it didnt publish or save and therefore wasting my fricken time but hey happy thoughts happy thoughts. please excuse me if i retype it all, and then find it did publish and then yaz are reading this all over again. my bad

i onced asken my nanna 'have yu been drinking Nan' now i'm asking her 'can you teach me the fine art of knitting?' oh bless her. thinking its time that i, as a 24 year old, learnt to knit. and although i consider it quite grannyish, i think its time i started therefore letting my overload of beanies begin. i will be able to welocome winter in to my life, a little more enthusiastically with the appropriate head wear. i told her to bare in mind that i have no idea (as in a deer with no eyes) how the whole knitting thing works or anything,so feel free to teach me as an eight year old. feeling the pressure but cant wait. i could get out of control, or over it quickly, either way...

yay i am finally feeling the rewards of working fulltime and today go to buy my self some goodies. well bras arent that exciting but well deserved. Bought some earrings, leg warmers and spotty socks which were just in time as tonight is feeling very cosy and wintery. where is my umbrella (that i thought was really cool but got it home to open it, and realised it had a bunny on it saying Birthday...ha what a jip)?? thinking i will get caught in the rain soon.

i am a little pissed at someine at the moment. not someone directly in my life but in the lives of people i know, and therefore still messing up my life. My sisters....bestfriends...sister recently went on a holiday with her boyfriend where they secretly went to Vegas and got married. umm excuse me but although i have not put alot of thought into it, i had kinda thought that i would be the one to run away and get married in the same chapel as Britany but no she had to go do it! So now i wont be the only one that people know that has done that, over reaction? maybe but hey this is my wedding i am talking about, and i aint letting no hoe steal my glory! ha ha oh i am laughing at my self in a very serious way, hey 20 years down the track...dont mess with this bride!! whats my other options??? wedding photos near the Belalie Creek??

well there is yet anothe long weekend coming our way, oh what to do?? Not all of us can be poolside sipping Bacardi :) Bee in town so thinking we will have some drink and see where the madness leads us. Is she really leaving the country soon? i hate goodbyes, oh i will live in denial for ever. Queensland, London, New York, South Yarra, some Channel Room in Kanagawa-ken, we are bitches of the world hey

SHORT WEEK

i started my new job yesterday. skool skool. its going to be a pretty cruisy familt to work for i think, and things will just get easier when school holidays are over. This family are temorarily living in an appartment in the heart of the city and i am already hoping their renovations take for ever and have to stay in this place for a few more months as i really like working in the city. its fun strutting down Rundle, having baby chinos and walking in park lands. i neen no more suburbia in my life. A less positive side to caring for kids in the city, is that when i took them to the park first thing in the morning, i saw some homeless people rolling up their swags and washing their face in the drinking fountain. hmm not to be rude but lets walk the other way.
well a while ago i applied for a childcare job in the N.S.W snow, which starts at the start of winter, which i have since forgotten about until today as i recieved an email confirming that i have in actual fact been short listed for the job. i am a little confussed, and although i dont think i will end up with the position i am still freaking out about what i would do if i did get it.......
do i want it?
snow first then overseas? OS first then come back to the snow?
i guess time will tell and it will all work out.

oh yeah i was given a pair of slippers from my new boss upon arrival, which are to be used when inside. ok i will be respectful of your wishes but excuse me, they dont go with anything in my wardrobe!!!

Question 1 blah blah

i am in the middle of my au pair apllication forms which are proving to take up a little more time then i had anticipated but at the same time i am quite enjoying. i mean i am one of the first to volunteer to fill in forms or surveys. ha, as for that time i got given $20 to fill in a car survey, pretending that i did infact own the Honda and Audi in the driveway, easy money!!
This agency sends out a 'Hartman Color Code personality Profile' and psychmetric test, which in some parts only give you, less flattering options, therefore i could come off sounding like a crazy women. Some of the questions were true or false...i would like to be a racecar driver,sometimes i feel like i'm falling apart,there were sometimes when i resented my parents, i'm always tired, i can use a microscope,i am a fast reader, i often analyze my motives and i have a lot of friends, haha i mean sure i can answer them but i may not come off looking like someone you would want to look after your children and live in your house. are they trick questions? or are they just being nosey? or are they delving into something that shouldn't be looked at too closely, hmm that mind of mine, but hey if they want to get their microscopes out, i would be happy to show them how to use it!

im am starting to get the guilts coz i had to tell this dog off for chewing things up and now she has walked away sulking, i mean hey if you wanna eat plastic and wood be my guest but your tummy wont let you for get it, little woof woof. its ok to talk to dogs right? its not like im a crazy person talking to myself. if it talks back ,i will ask for help!

think i should treat myself to a facial mask and yet another wine hmmm usually not a home drinker but figure its cool, as this aint my home. skool

back to the paper work hi ho hi ho

HOT CROSS BUNS one a penny

well Easters here, and all of my friends and family are not...... hmmm, but despite how i may make it sound like its the end of the world, i am quite looking forward to some time to my self, and since i looking after mums house and dog its kinda like a retreat away from home anyway. its definietly good to drive yourself crazy with bordom occasionally, but will see how my thoughts have changes by the end of this loooonnnggg weekend!
We had our little family Easter dinner thing during the week, which was totally great. i love being in Adelaide so much on these types of occasions. not that much happens just having everyone together makes my little stay worth while. Have got enough chocolate to last me a while. Isnt it amazing that as a kid you just never stopped eating ya choccie bunnies and eggs, but i am finding that as an adult i just cant do it even more. Dont get me wrong, i will give it a go, and anyother time could polish off all the chocolate in the world, but is there too much pressure? umm i think so. man i hated (hang on hate is too powerful a word to use, but never understood)those kids that saved their easter chocolates, and only ate tincy bit at a time. there is so no point to that, none i tell you. its not cool to hang on to it til it turns white and therefore is now uneatable, but its way cool to carefully remove the alfoil wrappings without tearing and flatten it out, and keep all your wrappers in a safe spot for ever!!
i actually got a watch for easter which although bears no significance to the actual event of Easter, is really a great gift. i have several watches that need new batteries, ha never gonna happen. i actually was at work lastnight, and dunk my new silver rectangular faced watch in the bath, its still a little steamy inside but hoping it will dry out and continue ticking like a little trooper.
5am in Soho is on the radio right now which is making me happy. that is the question....5 am Wednesday in Soho, where else is a girl like me gonna go??
is it inappropriate for my boss to be flicking me with a tea towel? ha dont think so its extremley funny, but one day someone could get hurt!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
well alicia and i win points for actually staying home Friday night but at the same time loose some for it not being as innocent as we had planned, but thats what happens when you start off with a few innocent drinks, ha what can we say?? we were just thirsty!! we talked the talk and definetly danced the dance but who know we we such removalists? we ended up moving her bedroom around for a large part of the night/morning which at the time was caotic and extremely dusty but we were on a mission and in that sort of a situation you have to finish what you start or you would end up sleeping on extension cords and a set of drawers, not to mention the exsessive amounts of dust. but despite the blood and tears shed it looks fan damn tastic! she says her telly has never been clearer. i was getting a little paranoid that she hasnt swapped over her smoke detector batteries( like i have yeah sure i have) but think since that requires a ladder and unblurred vision that had to wait til next time.
The only thing that got us out of the house on saturday was that we had tickets to go see THE TRIPLETES OF BELLEVILLE , part of the French Film Festival. Having seat up the front spoilt it for me as i was fragile enough, but it was very funny causing numerous laugh out louds. i found parts quite sad and dark but think that was what was amusing about it. And to make up for the lack of fresh air and sunshine our bodies missed, on Sunday we took a little trek to the hills. there was way too much sausage being eaten on the street, like do what you wanna at home people but dont drag it out on to the streets!its not ok. of course we leave there with soaps and bags full of sugar. We stopped of at this little Japanese gardens which was very close to home but i had never been there before. we found a wicked spot to just lay back and watched everyone that came through. it was a nice spot to sit back and reflect over the weekend, and why it is that everyone that walks past this particular bush, run their hands over it and fondle it. weird indeed, and i think back and i touched it too and i dont know why. But i do know that i didnt do as everybody else when it came to taking pictures. Admitingly i did have my camera but stress that i did not get Alicia to pose with leaves in her hands or catalogue poses on the benches, as every coulple that strolled through there did, no exageration at all. i do believe our poses involved monkey magic and some big sunglasses!
i saw an ad for Andrew Dentons show ENOUGH ROPE lastnight and it says, 'everybody has a story' , oh my god are these my stories? is this as exciting as my stories get? lord i hope not. hoping the next chapter is a little better, for everyones sake.
Tree gave me the sweetest things. she printed some photos of Melbourne from our famous roof top spa view, onto some overhead projector sheets, which i have taped onto my bedroom window, it truely does look wicked. i wonder if Melbourne misses me as i do it! who am i kidding, of course it does.

yuk

oh my god oh my god, one very horrible and unforgetable thing happened to me this morning, and i am going to write it with the risk of sounding like a total lazy nudist skank, but i am hoping my behaviour is considered normal. i woke up this morning with not much to do so i thought oh what the hell i will check the computer to see if we are up and running again, happy start coz its all action, so i got a little side tracked and started checking my emails, putting some washing on and generally strutting around my house in my bed wear which lastnight happened to be knickers and my wonderful homemade tshirt. hmmm well that seems alright hey, and i am sure we all know how liberating it can be to do so. so i sitting in the backroom which is right near the backdoor, which i had earlier opened for air, and i hear this 'knock knock' yuk i freaked out. i mean i am not one to open the door if i dont want to but knowing that there was a crack in the curtains where i would be very visible from the outside, and the door being open i knew i would not be able to freeze my way out of this. but i just sat there for a minute thinking, freaking....who is it? why are they at the backdoor? how do i deal with this in my undies? oh my god who would it be? (thought for a second that it couldve been the neighbour coz last week he came over to borrow my vacuum, and followed me into my room, but why not the front door?) then next second...'hello' and hesitated but replied 'hello' back. 'i'm here to check your electricity metre' (which was inside the house) 'oh hang on i've gotta cover up my knickers' Can you believe that shiet??thank god for my sister staying over on Monday night and leaving a pile of blankets in this room, otherwise i wouldve had to brave it in my Bonds. It was so so violating i dont think i will get over it, yuk what a creep.

going for a bit of a pyjama party tonight(think i will be dressing more appropriately then this morning), in attempt not to get to spend much money and get too crazy and write the whole weekend off again, and i am really looking forward to a no hassle no pressure night, oh any excuse to wear beanies and blankies really. it been so cold lately, oh lovely! who knows what will happen really.....

i gotta go pick up my pay now, seems like such a hassle but my purse getting a little anorexic, needs some fattening up.
