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.

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.

Even though I’ve lived in Brisbane on and off for over 10 years- I never feel like I’ve got to the heart of the city until now. I ran through the city on my way to work for over 3 years, and I like to come in occasionally, but I’ve never really had a good reason to spend sometime really getting to the heart of the place. It’s about more than shopping, although no one can argue the shopping in the city is so much better.

It seems that my brain is bubbling over at the moment. I’m not sure why.
Knock wood, I’m hoping the flood gate have burst and my little bit of creative block is over. I’ve got a whole list of blogging and photo topics to think about, but while my brain is ticking away, let me share with you some of my thoughts.

I’m about to head off to bed, but I wanted to blog.
It’s been a nice weekend, I achieved a lot and I feel calm.
Just finished skating, which was great. Also did ‘Learn to skate’ classes on Saturday- which were full of kids and amusing, at least for me. Also got my computer fixed and cooked up these little gems.
Some yummy orange and cardamon cupcakes from 500 Cupcakes, which the lovely Frank gave me for my birthday. I’ve used a couple of recipes as a base and then made variations with them, this was the first one I made straight up and they were great.
I also baked a seed loaf, very sweet, but more than passable.
Today has been quite lazy and lovely, on the computer, talked to Frank. Then skating.

I don’t usually do these things, but Frank tagged me, so I guess I should oblige.
Truly- there’s a lot to talk about, but my head doesn’t work. It’s better than no entry at all.

This time last year, I started a project of taking a picture a day. Like many other projects before, I started with the best of intentions- but somehow couldn’t follow through. Sometime after I came back from Japan in September, the wheels had fallen off. Somehow my pics for the 365 project today only add up to 176- that’s not even one for every second day.

It seems something always puts the brakes on what I want to do. I was sick through to Tuesday- brakes on skating and the new job.
Already I’ve broken my promise to walk and record. I missed the perfect photograph. Instead of being grateful I’m feeling a little unloved and resentful.
I wish I could be more postitive about this positivity thing

It’s been a while. I guess 2008 is going to be one of those years- not one thing, but lots of little things eating away at me. Like being nibbled to death by ducks.
So I’m trying to change- change me, my habits, my situation, my mood. That’s hard.
So today I …..
- started my new job
- recorded my feelings
- walked
- wondered
- photographed
- talked to a stranger
- met new challenges positively.
They are little steps, but indeed a start.
Tomororow I will…
- walk
- record
- and be grateful
