Reset, restart

Date January 15, 2009

As I said in last week’s post, I’m setting myself little challenges. Things that are achievable, not too overwhelming.

Some I’m meeting, some I’m working on, others I’m grateful for obligation (4 hours of training a week :)).

To start I’ve redesigned my blog. After about 2 years- I have finally redesigned my blog. For so long I’ve been using a generic template because I just couldn’t do what I wanted. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s close and I’m happy with myself because I’ve persevered. Read the rest of this entry »

Moving onto 2009

Date January 8, 2009


2008 was a bit of a roller coaster for me: I lost my Grandpy, had a chance at a writing contract, saw my best friend get married, found going back to the classroom difficult and continued to struggle with personal issues of health and fitness, fertility and depression.

Because of this I seem to have neglected many of things that make me happy- photography, writing and webstuff, spending time with friends.

Even as I headed into holidays there were so many things I wanted that I just haven’t got to, because of Christmas and illness- sewing, photos, movies.

So, I’m passing on resolutions. To be honest, I hate resolutions because the become a year end reminder of what I haven’t achieved.I’m going to put more thought and time into doing something more concrete, just not right now.

 Instead, I’m looking for little challenges in 2009

 

 

 

Call me…

sentimental and deeply neurotic. It’s how I feel right now

December

Date December 4, 2008

Summer’s here, the holidays are close, Christmas is becoming more familiar.

Meanwhile, I haven’t updated in a month. A friend/ reader says I need to update.

I have ideas, but they are all crap. And today I woke up with pinkeye.

Sorry  not so thrilling.

Maybe later

Time to begin

Date November 4, 2008

It was all meant to be so good- we’ve celebrated Franki and Carl’s wedding- it was such a gorgeous and relaxed wedding. She’s truly a beautiful bride.

Melbourne Trip

Way to ruin a good weekend

Date September 14, 2008

Maybe I shouldn’t use my blog to bitch about work, but to be honest- I don’t think I’ve got a lot left to lose. As we speak I’m probably being considered incompetent and unprofessional because files that left complete when I went on secondment are now allegedly incomplete.

I found this out after a phone call from work at 11am on a Sunday. Read the rest of this entry »

Spring is here

Date September 3, 2008

It arrived all of a sudden. Now my wonderful business suite seem useless, I’ve left my coat at home, and the numbers on the scales are making me nervous.

Meanwhile, I don’t know if it was the fireworks on the weekend, but the city itself has taken on a lease of life as well. People look happier, they are dressed brighter and even the pedestrian traffic is moving faster.

Extingushed

Date August 27, 2008

It’s funny how the mundane and extreme can bore us.

I’ve had a few late nights and dsiruption to my schedule- which has slowed me down a little. MIL’s surgery and prognosis is good, Dad’s back in the country for a couple of weeks before jetting off and my contract is slowly coming to an end.Took some interesting pics on the weekend, but waiting for the files (I love borrowing memory cards).

This weekend should be creative with Tiger banana cupcakes, riverfire and a bridesmaid dress fitting all on the cards- I might even squeeze in Hellboy 2, which I’m itching to see.

Funny story- my mother is a little concerned about my dad’s trip, even after 12 years of divorce- she rang up tonight with a warning about organ farmers. I know it was genuine concern, and she means well- let’s just say she was insistent and I will warn him.
