Ok, it's 9.07am.
I've just spent the last hour running in my house and back outside to my bungalow to organize my bags. If you haven't already guessed, I leave for my grandparents today. I know, I know, I'm a day or two behind.
I'll be gone for around 10 days. It's my birthday on the 2nd of August so I'll be gone for my birthday. First birthday away from my mummy lol. Nah just joking, she is coming to see me on my birthday. Which is good because I get to see her and because I get my presents on my actual birthday haha.
I wrote a list last night for what I'd like on my birthday. I already have a lot of stuff so the main thing I wanted was a DSLR camera. Preferably a Canon now that I've checked them out. There is one in JB HiFi for $850 so I said that if my mum and brother go halves, I'd put in $150 or $200 as well because that is one expensive-ass camera.
=\
Some other things I put were just silly things like some movies I want my brother to download and put on a USB for me. Oh and a pink USB is on my birthday list too. Other than that I want a big jug of my brothers home made iced tea waiting for me in the fridge when I get home.
I don't wanna be greedy. Besides, at my grandparents house is about 40 parcels that my mum and I bought off Ebay so that will be like a birthday in itself. I'm most looking forward to my Fendi and YSL wallets the most. I've forgotten almost everything else. OoOoh I'm so exciteddddd. I can finally stop using my poor vintage Christian Dior black and gold wallet that I photographed a week back.
I'm using my $5 Vuitton bag today because I need a bag with a lot of room. I know I said I wouldn't take it out in public because it's 99% fake and I would have used my Miroir bag but like I've said in the past, it's like carrying a plasma tv under your arm it's so heavy. Plus It's bulky and blah. It's good for certain occasions and this is not one of them.
The other bag I'm using to carry a weeks worth of clothes (and shoes) is my mums chocolate brown Playboy overnight bag. I rolled all of my clothes into little sausages so I could fit more in. This technique will come in handy when I go overseas. My suitcase will be choc-a-block full of stuff. It's funny because my mum and I have the same Playboy overnight bag, hers is brown, mine is black. We got them on sale at Highpoint a while back. They were reduced to like $40 each from around $200 so we chose which colour we liked and bought them. I was cut they didn't have a pink one lol. So stereotypical.
Anyway, hate to go but it's time. Gotta call the taxi. There is no way I am carrying these two bags upto the corner and then catching a bus etc.
Have a good 10 days girls. I'm still hijacking my cousins internet, just don't know when it will be.
Take care, Peace.

A Great Day Is Getting A Louis Vuitton Bag For $5.
Today was fantastic right from the get go. I woke up a bit late (10.30am), my makeup actually worked instead of resisting, my hair was still straight from yesterday, my skin was glowing and all my clothes were easily found.
It all went right for once. What a nice change to my usual aggravating morning of never being able to find one of my shoes, my eyeliner being bumpy, not being able to choose which lingerie set is appropriate to go under my skirt or dress, my phone being uncharged, my nail polish being chipped or my hair being greasy.
I love days like today. My brother had to change over three pair of jeans from his birthday. He got two new pairs that fit perfectly and a store voucher for the third pair.
After exchanging his jeans, he drove my mum and I to The Salvation Army (the op shop/thrift store) and as soon as I walked in the door I found a Louis Vuitton monogrammed bag. The tag said $9.99 and I knew it was fake when I opened it up because the lining was different than the original. It does bother me that it's fake. The price tag was blue and blue tag items are half price this week so for $5, who wouldn't buy it, even if it is fake?
I probably wont wear it out because I am not a fan of designer fakes but I will use it in my room for storage. I can keep my lingerie in it or even my hats and beanies. I like interesting storage compartments. I seen that Christina Aguilera uses vintage suitcases in her wardrobe to hold her bags so why not use a bag to hold items too?

Once again my camera is playing up big time. This time it wont charge or even read on my computer. I think dropping it three times over the last month has really upset the inner workings of my Kodak.
Time to upgrade.
SoOoO ane, it's my birthday in two weeks, I'd like a camera please.
I don't mind if you and Sebastian go halves and this is the only present I get.
I need it. I want it.
Plus we can use it for our website. Bonus.

Louis Vuitton Shoes. What Size Are You?
Hey girls,
My friend is over in Paris at the moment and she is bringing me back a pair of the Louis Vuitton sneakers I posted about a few days ago.
She has a some connections in the fashion world so she is bringing back quite a few pairs to sell on my website.
Can everyone please tell me their shoe size (and specify if it's UK, US or AUS sizes etc) so I can tell her what sizes to buy.
I just need to know what shoe sizes are more popular and more common etc.
Peace.
Chips, Fruit and A Hot Tub Time Machine.
Well, you must have noticed by now that I have been slacking off in the last few days. It feels like a month since I have written something so this will probably be a really long one.
I have been feeling really sick for almost a week now. Most of my time has been spent on the couch in and out of a groggy sleep with a never ending headache and a tapping in my head. Yesterday I wanted to ask my mum to look in my ears in case some spider eggs were laid and hatched without me realizing it. Would have explained a lot, but there is no spiders, just my brain. It gets my thinking 'Oh no, what if I have brain swelling or a tumor..' I'm going to 'scan my cat' on Tuesday (aka getting a cat scan lol). I'm sure there is nothing really wrong with me, I just feel like ten tonnes of donkeys ass and cant seem to shake it off.
I had a shower this morning and semi straightened my hair, which sort of made me feel a bit better. Walking up to the shops to buy some mandarins and chocolate was good for me. The fresh air, no matter how chilly it is, always does me some good. The guy at my local fruit&vegie store made me smile as always. He is a really nice man, not sure what nationality he is but he's from the Middle East without a doubt. He always asks my mum what nationality she is because of her blonde hair and green eyes. Each time we go in there he has a different nationality that he thinks she is. First it was Swedish, then Russian and then German.. It took him a good 7 times before she put him out of his misery and told him she was Italian. He said that explained my dark features and she told him I had the Turkish in me to thank for that. So now every time I go into the fruit shop it's 'Ahhh, Nasilsin?' which means how are you. I must have told him 20 times that I don't speak fluent Turkish but he will still speak three really fast sentences in Turkish and then speak to me in English. I understand the basics but SLOWWWWWWWW DOWWWNNNNNNN with the rest of it. It's like he is the voice over for a horse race. I admire how he knows at least 4 languages.. I just wish he would choose one that he speaks to me and stick to it haha.
I gotta get a photo of him. He is a classic. Not tall (a polite way of saying he is short), short tight ringlet/afro hair in black with some grey running through, very tanned and in shape, a very nice smile and always gives me a ridiculous discount. I never end up spending more than $3 despite the fact that the bananas I take up there would be $2.50 alone.. Never mind the apples, beans, mandarins and lemons I get with them. It's $3 and a free pack of Arabic chewing gum no matter what.
On the walk home I stopped and got some hot chips with 3 battered savs and 3 fried dim sims for my family and I. We have all been eating like once a day because were all sick in one way or another so it was a nice treat to eat something other than a toasted sandwich or chicken noodle soup.
Last night after torturing myself and listing another 50 items on the site, I watched Hot Tub Time Machine. It was funnier than I expected. It was different than I thought it would be but I enjoyed it none the less. Today I watched Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro. It was the most gory werewolf/lycan movie I've seen so far. It wasn't scary but you actually see peoples guts flying here there and everywhere, their bloody stumps, fingerless hands and torn up rib-cages.
The movie wasn't bad, but wasn't fantastic. It was hard to stop myself almost breaking into laughter throughout the whole movie because all I could think of was the voice that Benicio Del Toro had in the movie The Usual Suspects. It was strange hearing him speak with a no 'accent'. Anthony Hopkins was loony as always and Emily Blunt is quite lovely, perhaps even beautiful in one way or another.
Mum is really sick with the flu but at the moment she is ignoring that so she can take measurements and weights of all the items we have to list tomorrow so she wants me to put on a movie to break up the monotony. I might get some rest because I have to take 150 photos of the items we listed over the weekend so we can complete the listing and I can finally do my big unveiling of the site. We are almost at 2000 items and have 10 times that amount sitting here waiting to be listed. Just don't want to give you guys the website info when it looks so empty.
Must go, am getting dizzy. Will be sure to put an awesome fashion and makeup post tomorrow, maybe even late tonight if I cant sleep.
Peace.

A Shopping Spree, One Hot Gay, A Cookie & Frikin Kathy Griffin.
My 3 main 'needs' for this winter were boots, pants/jeans, long sleeved tops/cardigans and a jacket.
I got the long sleeved tops and a jacket but as for the pants/jeans and boots.. Thumbs down to the current fashion of Australia. Will have to go op shopping/thrift store shopping later in the week. I was really thinking today that my Doc Martens will do as casual boots for now.
Hands up who thinks they are a tad emo/punk though?

Today, after some drama at the train station with our train changing platforms and being delayed 32 minutes,
we finally got into the city and went to DFO. Started off in Wittner Shoes. I bought three of the most FABULOUS SEX IN THE CITY HEELS you have ever seen in your life. I know a lot of people go on about Sex In The City but I shit you not, these shoes SCREAM Carrie. They may as well have called the design Carrie. Oh my god, they were in blue, black and pink. Blue is my families bad luck colour but we got a pair anyway. We also got a pink pair and another pink pair for our online store. They were only $30 each!! They're fantastic, stunning and unique. I have NEVER seen them around.
Anyway, after resisting temptation to spend another $100 (on a pair of purple suede peeptoe high heeled boots and a pair of blood-red velvet ballet flats) I left and headed for Forever New. I was lucky enough to find a whole box of jewelery under the sale table that was heavily reduced (and I mean heavily). After I sifted through all the duds, I ended up with over 30 pieces of jewelery ready to be worn/sold.
While I was sorting through the jewelery my mum was checking out the sale rack because she seen this fantastic steel-mauve coloured silk cropped bomber jacket. Sounds busy when I have to use that many words to describe it but trust me, it's fantastic, it was my size and it was only $19.95!!!! I have very large breasts so it's a bit tighter across the chest than it's supposed to be but a small hitch like that didn't stop me. It was too nice to leave there and besides, I'm sure Dolly Parton wont mind having some competition whenever I wear that jacket haha. I also tried on a lace blazer which was unfortunately too small. I absolutely love lace blazers, especially this one because it was dyed to look like vintage coffee stained lace. Hopefully I find a vintage one overseas.
After that we went into Guess and I have only got one word for you - BORING.
I turned the corner at Witchery and seen 100 asian chicks going crazy over this $5 table in Cotton On so I went in and shoved in next to one of them. I got some of the coolest tshirts and singlets for under $5. I heard mum call out my name and when I turned to look at her, the fur caught my eye. A faux fur vest... SOOOOOO cute, my size and only $10 - Well I'll just add that to my 10 other items I'm holding. I had a quick look around the rest of the store and looked up to see mum holding the leopard print cardigan I've been HANGING OUT FOR! It was reduced, but it was still $25. Dont get me wrong, that is cheap as chips but when I'm holding two other shrugs that are only $5 each, I get into my 'But I can buy 5 of these for one of those' tighta$ frame of mind. I can always go back and get it if I have a nightmare tonight about it.
That is usually the way it goes. I see something, I love it, I leave it behind and I have a nightmare that night that someone I really don't like bought the last one in stock and is wearing it. I'm warning my brain that if I dream about that pig nose, red head, so called comedian chick with the annoying voice wearing it. Ohhh it's payback time.
Here's my thoughts about Kathy Griffin wearing MY Cotton On leopard cardi.

SHES NOT WORTHY, SHES NOT WORTHY. Geez-uz, I loathe that ginger.
Back on point. I was served by a hottie. I mean hottie. He was hot. Lol, hot and gay. Yup. Didn't realize he was batting for the same team until I commented on how nice his cologne is and he told me it was Luxx. I believe his exact response was 'Oh, thats random. Thanks hun. It's Luxx. You know the ad on TV where the flowers are following her down the street and all the guys turn to look at her? Well, thats me. You should try the pomegranate one. It would suit you, it's really fresh and subtle.'
Holy shit I cant get a break can I? At least he wasn't all DARRRHHH-LINGGGG, SMOOCHIES. I used to have a gay friend who was in the closet around his family so whenever he was out of the house, he was out. So out he practically jumped into other peoples closets for Pete's sake. I'm talking the kind that screams at pedestrians, gets out of the car at the lights to dance to Whitney Houston and talks like he is making fun of girls, but he wasn't, he was just talking.
Every girl apparently dreams of having gay mates. Been there, done it. They can be just as bitchy, if not more bitchy than having female friends. There has only ever been one gay guy I've been mates with that didn't talk about me behind my back or intentionally lie to try and get me to bitch about someone else. That is my mate from Sydney. I call him Cookie. Cookie is the BOMB. He is into street drags, cars, clubbing, soccer and a lot of other stuff that isn't really deemed 'gay'. He and I used to have many d&m's (deep and meaningful conversations). He would always say that just because he likes men, doesn't mean he has to act like a girl. He liked being a typical Macedonian 'w0g' guy, he just also happened to like guys.
Anyway, after a short visit to my two favourite stationary stores Smiggle & Typo and my favourite not cheapo/not expensive jewelery store Diva, mum and I waddled onto the train and headed home. I sat across from a guy who could be the twin of Julia Roberts abusive husband in Sleeping With The Enemy. Mum sat across from our shopping bags.
All of the bags you see here are F U L L .
It was a long-ass day so I didn't have the energy to take photos of all the items so please check em out in my next post. Today was a day that makes you utilize the peppermint cooling spray you just received on order from The Body Shop to relieve your sore-slightly swollen feet instantly.
I <3 you peppermint cooling spray.
I also <3 the battered sav, big-ass can of coke and chips I had for dinner because mum and I were not cooking a damn thing tonight.
Peace.

So Much To Sell So Little Time!
I had a great morning. Two pieces of toast and two new friends to my blog. After the toast and the friends it went downhill a tad though. Had a shower and washed my hair. This is the second time I've washed my hair since I dyed it last week and remember what I told you about washing dark hair in cold water? Well it was so cold, I was scared that if I had a cold shower it would turn to ice and I'd either be turned into a giant ice cube or I'd be stabbed by little ice drop spears. I gave in and turned the hot tap on full blast until the bathroom was so steamy that my hair was practically damp before I even got in the shower! It was great, so relaxing, could have slept for another 20 minutes standing up on that spot, so I took my time and the longer I took the more dye I lost. I got out of the shower and I have a little brown/blonde gt stripe running straight down the part in my hair. ARGGGGHHHHH. Plus, my beautifully manicured nails I did lastnight are chipped. I guess the only thing keeping me sane is all the parcels I got lastnight. I think they will keep all of you shopping addicts sane too, due to the fact that 3/4 of the clothes didn't fit so I have to sell them. Plus I got another pair of Gucci heels THAT DONT FIT =(
Are any of you a size 39 in Gucci shoes, feel free to snatch them up on my website in two days for our grand opening. We ship internationally. Plus I'm selling 5 of the Versace eyeshadows I received in the post because I already have colours that are extremely similar.
Anywho, I'm off to take some photos of the item's that I am not keeping so I can list them on the site and also update lastnights post to show you what I got in all of those packages!

Don't Stand So Close To Me.
My brother spent most of the day listening to the Police and other 80s music so mum and I cleaned the house until it was spotless.
Last night I only got to have 5 hours sleep so after some cleaning, I had burned up what little energy I had in me. Mum told me I needed a nap so I found a comfortable position on the couch, snuggled up in a rug and had Cleo, Rocky and Tommy pile onto me.
Dogs have the best life, mine do anyway. They sleep literally upto 19 hours a day. Even if its not sleep, they're still curled up in a ball resting. Montana is the worst though, he snores louder than any boyfriend I've ever had or relative I've ever heard. I even think he rivals my grandparents - and they each snore so loud that one of them has to wave the white flag and go into a spare room half way through the night just so they can sleep in peace haha.
Anyway, I'm not a snoring person, I talk in my sleep. It starts off with a word or two coming through from a dream I'm having and can eventually turn into a full fledged conversation if someone is there asking me questions while I'm sleeping.
I never remember or know whats going on, but my mum and I are the worst of talking in our sleep.Mum (Scarlet) has great one liners when she is sleeping. Just incoherent rants with one sentence that is translate-able. 'Put the lid on the fish and chips' was my favourite up until two weeks ago when it was 'A woh bam a loo buh, a woh bam boo to you'. For all of you non-Grease fans, that is the intro to a song at the end of the movie when they are at the carnival. She hadn't seen the movie in over a year but it was on her mind obviously.
I have millions of photos of my mum but not on this computer. Here is a photo of her and her 3 younger brothers. I'll have to get back to you on a date because it's really hard for me to tell. I'd like to say it was mid 80s but like I said, it's hard for me to tell. Either way my mum was already a mum in this photo. She had my brother and then had me a few years later. She wanted to have more children but unfortunately cancer runs really strong in the women in our family.
Sorry to abruptly run off but I have to go, dogs need to be fed.
Peace.
Channeling Chanel
Ever since a post two days ago regarding the Chanel flats I'm selling on my site, I cant stop thinking about them. They are already packaged and ready to go to whoever snaps them up but I have had to restrain myself all day. I am so tempted to run into my business room, rip open the package and try to forcefully squeeze my size 8.5 into these petite 7's. I am itching here! I'm about ready to take them to a shoe maker and get them sewn around my feet so I can never remove them! Either that or I'll go to my local tattoo parlour and become the first girl in the world (to my knowledge) to have a pair of Chanel ballet flats tattooed on.
PLEASE someoneeeee, sell me your size 8.5/9 Chanel ballet flats. Any size, any condition. Even if they are knock offs (and that is purely out of my character to even look at a fake, let alone request it!!!!) but my lust for them is unnatural.
I NEED THEM. I WANT THEM. I PINE FOR THEM.
Please contact me if you can source them or have a pair you would be willing to sell/get rid of. The same also applies for the old school Red Earth lipstick I wrote about last month.

It's 7.34 and I can't sleep. I've stayed up all night watching movies while fixing my blog layout and taking photos of items for the website. You will love the bookshelf and vintage mannequin. We've decided to also start selling the furniture and larger items now so we aren't stuck with them at the last minute before we move. I know we are cutting it close but my brother is staying behind a little longer than we are to secure safe transport for the dogs and to finish his building/carpentry course so whatever we don't sell goes on a huge discount sale to get rid of it all so we don't have to pay to transport it overseas. The great thing is that because we are setting up a .com store we can easily sell the stuff we buy at the London markets and designer Italian warehouses internationally rather than being stuck with the .com.au problem.We will still be shipping to Australia, the shipping rates will obviously change but Australia Post are a frigin rip off anyway. International postage is a hell of a lot cheap than Australian postage. I can get a lipstick sent to me from the UK for around $2 AU. Here, even to send to another suburb of Melbourne is a small parcel which is $4.35.
The markets overseas is what I'm looking forward to the most for my business. Designer items there must practically grow on trees. Even vintage items that aren't necessarily considered 'designer' will be more fantastic than most of the current season items we have here. Australia hardly gets ANY of the stock the rest of the world does.
Not to mention that because designer items are more rare to find in Australia, the mark up is outrageous - even basics & second hand items.I am realistic and I know that designer items wont just be dirt cheap just because they are from Europe. They wouldn't be so sacred if they were a dime a dozen.
Has anyone reading this been to the markets and warehouses overseas? If so, feel free to send me an email or some comments on your experiences there.
Peace.
Makeup, Vuitton, Movies, Rock, Mr Marsden & A Partridge In A Pear Tree
Do you ever buy things that are just so pretty and never use them because of it?
I bought my mum two YSL eyeshadows for her birthday and 4 weeks later, she still hasn't used them. Not using the Shimmering Quartz/Deep Amethyst I get, because it has a big YSL engraved/monogrammed into it so its too fantastic to ruin but the Absinthe quad doesn't have anything on top of it but a clear plastic protector film/sheet. I'm so quick to throw around all my Mac, Nars and Napoleon makeup but my 'high class' stuff stays exactly that; high. Almost out of reach in fact.
My mums YSL eyeshadows are so high up on a shelf we pretty much have to channel our inner ballet dancer just to reach them. I'm exactly the same with my makeup. I bought a beautiful pale pink Versace nail polish and it took me 4 weeks to take it out of the box and test it on a nail! I'm weird, because I'll wear my Louis Vuitton Miroir
bag with trackies and a tshirt (even though it weighs so much I may as well be carrying around a plasma tv under my arm) but I hesitate to wear my designer makeup unless its a special occasion.I never had this problem when I was younger. Mum would come home with a fantastic new Chanel eyeliner and I'd want to wear it even if I was just going outside to get the mail! I don't know if it's the tightass in me, or if I have just grown a huge appreciation for designer items that eventually run out. What are your thoughts on the whole thing? I cant even bring myself to open the lid of my new Chanel compact. It's gotten past the point of ridiculous. So, after proof reading this entry I'm going to change my ways. Why do I bother spending all this money if the stuff is never going to get used? It's not like I can start a museum of designer cosmetics. Although that would be pretty freakin awesome! - But not realistic.. & incredibly expensive.
I'd like you all to witness this step so I've posted photos of some of my designer makeup collection. It's time to crack the seal on all those beautiful gold cased YSL eyeshadows, black & white Chanel compacts & lipsticks and sift through all my other cosmetics to find the odd Dior, Versace and other designer makeup items I'm hoarding.
Tomorrow I'm heading off to my grandparents for a few days. I don't know if I mentioned it or not but my grandmother has bought a laptop so she can keep read our blogs everyday to see whats happening when were overseas. I'll be spending a week at their house, give or take a day or two. I'm planning on taking our laptops to the Golden Arches (aka McDonalds) to take advantage of their free wireless internet. Should be exciting.
Yesterday was a huge success with taking a lot of photos and uploading a tonne of items to the site. We want at least 1,500 items on before we start advertising flat out & I never realized what a long process it would be. I think it would be easier if there were more people helping out but it's just my mum and I so were not stressing ourselves out and taking it slow. The fact we keep getting sidetracked with the movies we put on for 'background noise' doesn't help. We have watched these movies 100 times so you think they wouldn't distract us, right? Well they do. Besides, music is annoying when your working. It aggravates me something shocking. I end up focusing on the lyrics, not what mum is dictating to me for the items description. If you come across a description that goes like this, you know exactly what was going on at the time!
BRAND: Kookai
SIZE: 12
CONDITION: New Without Tags
DETAILS: A gorgeous pair of firm fitting stretch denim knee length peddle pushers electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazinnnneee oh ohhhhh..
For those of you who aren't more familiar with that piece of classic rock - it's Benny And The Jets.
I cant seem to get that song out of my head since I seen the tv advertising 27 dresses about a week or two ago. While were on that note, let me just say: James Marsden - What a fox.
This is the first time in his movies that I have really noticed it but Mr Marsden is the ultimate boy next door.There is something genuine about his smile. He looks like one of those nice normal guys.. Well that's what I thought until I type his name in googlesearch without adding '27 dresses' on the end and WOAH MAMA! He went from the cute nerd to a rebellious bad boy in .3 seconds.
His bone structure is a work of art!
Now that I think about it, there are a lot of guys that I'm finding attractive that I wouldn't have a few years back. I'm going to dedicate an entire blog to all the underdog Hollywood Hotties sometime soon but until then, you'll have to make do with him.
I know my blogs are long and involved but I have a lot to say. I have even bought a notebook that I carry around in case of 'Blog Inspiration'. Besides, I like long involved blogs, it's like having a conversation with the person. So, thanks for the chat and until next time..
Peace.
Bond, Miss Bond.
I may not have any followers yet but let me say sorry for the disappearing act over the last two days.
Thursday night with Tuesday was hilarious, as always. We went for Nandos and then I somehow convinced him to take me to my postbox to pick up the 23 small parcels that were forcefully shoved into the tiny hole in the wall. What can I say? I love designer makeup!
One of the parcels was a Chanel lipstick (its a full size unused tester) but I think its wayyyy too dark for me. The shade is called Vamp, so that says it all.
I might end up listing it on my site with the other designer makeup I can't/wont use. I need to get into the dark lips phase this winter, even if its just a chocolate brown. I'm just so hesitant because I'm still stuck on my bright pinks and fire engine red tones. I used to have the biggest addiction to perfect nudes and matte tone ice pinks but there was only one that I've found that isn't 70's disco or the colour of death. It was from Red Earth in about 2002/2003. I went to Geelong with my mum on a road trip and there was a Red Earth store closing down. Back when lipglosses were in pots and their lipsticks were short with a silver 
base and a clear lid like this one (I found this photo on the net to give an example). If anyone has any of these, used or unused lying around, please let me know because I want em!! I WILL BUY THEM FROM YOU! They were the best lipsticks and they were $2 each brand new as the store was closing down. I was young so I only bought one ice pink and one pastel peach. The ice pink was shared with my friend at the time - the Black Haired Barbie. I've since learned my lesson.
Lesson 1 - Do not lend things to your friends no matter how much you love them!
I never seen the lipstick again =( But thankfully, my peach one is still going strong at the half way used point after 8 years. After all the makeup training I have, I know how to make the most out of a tiny bit of lipstick. Most girls just go over and over and over the same spot so they waste it.
Anyway, after the postbox we then sat in the car and played this fantasticcccc game called Plants Vs Zombies.
Its available on www.popcap.com. They let you download and try it for 60 minutes. 60 minutes sounds like a long time, but seriously, they are zombies, how far can you possibly get in an hour? Not to mention there's like 50 levels. Either way its worth the trial period.
We then wrote in his work planner (I wrote, he founds a pencil and contradicted everything I said with a pencil), which was awesome because I discovered something I also have a fascination for. His pen. This pen is the pen of pens. This pen deserves a capital - Pen. There, I feel better - my respect has been paid. I couldn't just let it just sit there day and night in his work journal. It needed to be used, frequently! Not just to log some overtime hours, no no no my friend, long detailed stories is what this pen was made for. So I did my sneaky James Bond maneuver and I turned the pen upside down and casually slid it up the side of my skirt and clipped it to the hem. Even if it dropped down to the ground when I started walking inside my house I could casually pretend I was tying my laces, I was wearing thongs but as if guys notice these things!
So he took me home and I casually got out of the car, fully expecting him to have known my mission all along and to foil it at the last minute, but I succeeded!!! The pen is MINE!
At least it was until he called me Friday and said 'Gimme my pen.' I couldn't help but laugh. Little does he know I'm going to my grandparents for a week on Tuesday so the pen is STILL mine for another week at least. Apparently he wants me to write with blood before I write with his pen so it doesn't get wasted haha. He has the strangest sense of humor.
Yesterday was less eventful but completely tiring. Yesterday was a 'take photos of items for the website' say. We have so many items it took a whopping 4 hours just to do the hats & hair accessories! The fact the camera battery needed to continually be recharged didn't help, but seriously, without the camera problems it still would have been 3 good hours of photo taking just to do hats & hair accessories. You guys are crazyyyy if you don't go and check out the site when its finished.
I finished off my day watching some recently downloaded *coughcough.our.secret.coughcough* episodes of Nurse Jackie, Glee, Hoarders, Supernatural and Dr Who. I used to be a movie buff, now tv rocks my world. You MUST check out these shows. Plus a lot more that I'll be listing at a later date. My family and I are focusing on limiting our social gatherings so we can save money for overseas and so its easier when the time comes to leave. 'Weening off' I think the term is. This leads to a LOT of tv shows as we all have a large variety of tastes in genres. Watching these shows is the best thing to do when we need to unwind and relax. You don't have to think, you just enjoy.
Now I'm off to take over 1000 photos of some of the clothing we have. I'm looking at this neatly folded pile that takes up our whole couch and even looking at it from the other side of the room I can see items of Bardot, Sportsgirl, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Wish, Cooper St, Supre, Wayne Cooper, Crystelle, Dior, Kookai, Dotti, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Bebe, Ice, Gripp, Gasp and soooo many other items peaking out at me.
Hope to see you on my website grabbing some bargains when its up and running.
Peace.
