Tuesday.

I have forgotten to keep updating you with my Tuesday adventures with.. None other than 'Tuesday' himself. Here he is, in his new Dangerfield coat that he got for the bargain price of $139. He was so proud. I love the jacket.. And his cologne.


On Tuesday we went to a restaurant called Smoken Joes. That was, after he flew straight past The Cheesecake Shop. He purposely sped up, thinking I wouldn't see it. I did (I have an inbuilt radar for cheesecake) and when he realized I knew, we turned around. He had to drive through back streets and side streets but we got there, as they closed. I was too embarrassed to go in and ask if they can sell me one last cheesecake before they go home and he pretended he forgot what cheesecake I like so he didn't have to go in and we ended up missing out on cheesecake. He said he didn't want me to make him look bad on my blog by saying he purposely tried to deprive me of my favourite dessert (that is the only reason he turned around). Hahaha ahh, what a character.

Anyway, we went to Smoken Joes on Mt Alexander Rd. We sat on a very un-romantic 4 seater table instead of the 2 seater tables that were shoved in the corner. He knows me too well. I hate being where it's really busy and I hate having no room to be comfortable and squirm around if I need to. Plus, as if I'm putting my bag on the floor! It goes on the seat next to me thanks.

I gotta invest in one of those bag hooks. How awesome are they? I only discovered them a fortnight ago. Didn't realize we have 3 here in the study that are ready to be sold on our site.

Back to the food, I got a chicken parmigiana and he got a honey mustard chicken that was named something that had nothing to do with honey or mustard. They were huge meals, so huge at even though I only ate half my meal, I still didn't have enough room for dessert. BUMMER. I had to send my parma back because it was still a bit pink inside. The owner himself came over and said how embarrassed he was and how sorry he was. I didn't mind, just didn't feel like getting food poisoning. I hate sending things back but I want what I'm paying for, or in this case, what Tuesday is paying for haha. While we were waiting for my second parmigiana to be sent out, an old friend (you will know him as Swift Boy) came in with three of his friends and sat down two tables away. There was hardly anyone else in the restaurant but he didn't see me. I was a bit relieved because it's been so long since I have spoken to him, I wanted to avoid the awkward 'So whats new?' conversation.

That reminds me, if anyone ever comes across bubblegum scented soap, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE either buy it for me or tell me where you got it so I can buy it myself. I'm in love with it, ever since I got my nails done in Sydney two years ago, I've been drooling over the thought of it being mine. Have just never been able to find it. Not that I've looked.. =\ Don't ask me how Swift Boy makes a connection with bubblegum hand soap in my mind, I have no idea. I think it's because the colour of one of his cars was like a bubblegum pink. Hrmm, beats me.

Anyway.. After our meal we went up the road to Office Works. Some of you may remember that I did a James Bond and stole his awesome pen.. Well it was payback time. He wanted a new one. I made him buy me a pink one even though I stole his pen and I was meant to be buying him a pen. He ended up spending a whopping $18 on me. I got a fluro pink notepad, a ten pack of purple blue and pink pens, a six pack of orange green blue pink and purple pens, some pink speech bubble stick-it notes and when we went up to the check-out counter (after looking at every single pink item in the store) there was a bigggg box of coloured markers. I got a dark pink one. Then we went upto the counter itself and there was a perspex tub saying 0.12c. Inside these tubs there was a pile of pink gel pens and blue ones next to it. Only 12 cents each?!?! I was only going to get one of each colour but I thought stuff it and got all of both colours. There was roughly 7 of each. Tuesday was going to buy me a pink USB as well but it was $20 and I felt bad that he had to buy his own pen and $18 worth of stationary for me so I showed some self control and I put it on my wishlist for next week when I get some money.

I dunno what it is about stationary but I love it. I just love how different pens make you write pretty or write really messy. Plus I love fresh pages. I use every 3rd or 4th page in books depending on how hard I press down on the pen.

After going to the post box, we sat and listened to music, played Plants Vs Zombies and then christened the first page of my new notebook and almost every pen I bought.

His new pen was elite. I want it, haha. Here's a photo the page when we first started and then a photo of me in my vintage Pierre Cardin knit cardigan. I look the size of a whale because it's actually a mens one. I was just so cold that I had to wear something oversized. I hate how shiny my makeup is at the end of the night and I need to dye my hair, again!

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.
