Awkward and awesome Thursday


Awkward:

- thinking that we overdosed George on some catnip snacks
- realizing that the wall calendar is still on April
- wearing a t-shirt with jeans and a hat when everyone else on the train is wearing jackets and gloves (wha??)
- The A's flight being so early that the alarm was set for 3:30


Awesome:

- that even though we had to wake up at 3:30 we still did the 15 min 'cuddle time' alarm
- sour cream
- Most Haunted Live on You Tube. Apparently I like scaring myself silly when The A is away (but also reading blogs at the same time)
- finding that the sure fire way to get a good nights sleep these days lies in hot chocolate. The A even reminds me to make it before bed

Catchup ketchup

I'm knitting again. The cold weather helps flex my knitting mojo.


This is the Hooray Cardi knit with Bendigo Rustic in Elm. I'm a 40 inch bust and the sizes have big gaps. Even though there is meant to be some positive ease I was scared that it would look too stretched; so I've gone up a needle size. So far so good. I'm also addicted to Pinterest. It's fantastic so you need to go and start pinning! BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging. BlogBooster is a multi-service blog editor for iPhone, Android, WebOs and your desktop

Missing

To catch you up here's a summary:

1. We've acquired a cat. His name is George it used to be something really crap so we changed it, but he also goes by Pookie, Pooks, Pookie bum, Pookie face and Pig.


2) We've bought a car. It's old and beat up but totally blends in with all the other beat up cars in Fremantle. I'm learning to drive in it (automatic) and it's actually really fun which I wasn't expecting at all! We took a trip down to Augusta one weekend with it and it did well. Augusta was fun but not much there that can cover more than 1 weekend.


I found my dream house and Ross took millions of pictures of the above as 'practice' with his camera.

3) Really in the TMI sector but the Landlady replaced our water heater to a gas one and OMG it's amazing. I just stand in the shower groaning, it's so good. Plus the dishes get EXTRA clean, and I need to wear gloves otherwise I can't put my hands in the water.

4) Related to the above but in the AWESOME section is that the Body Shop have brought back their banana shampoo and conditioner, so I'm stockpiling it.

5) Started another design related blog, I have lots of drafts and free downloads to put in it but haven't published much. I'll post the link when it's more substantial.

6) My laptop died its final death so we got a new house computer...

TADAA!!!

7) I finished school and currently looking for work. It's not fun and sometimes it's downright depressing but you've got to keep smiling.

8) I lost my knitting mojo but it has recently reappeared but I've decided not pot post any WIPs to avoid disappointment from certain areas. So they will be photographed only after completion.

9) After more than 6 months of endless HOT summer it has finally cooled down. My regular rotation of t-shirts is thankful for the break.

AND most importantly.....

10) The A and I celebrated our 1st anniversary at a wonderful restaurant called Star Anise. We had the degustation meal with the wines. We ended up staying there for 4 hours and it was the best meal and company ever. I wanted to take pictures of the food but it was quite dark so you wouldn't have been able to see anything anyway.
