Oh the excitement when I turned on the tv tonight and they were replaying season 3 xx

I’m gonna make it a goal that next time I end up having one of those awkward ’so what are you up to now?’ conversations with someone whose life I really don’t give a fuck about and who I know feels the same way about me – I’ll just be up front and say ‘look – you don’t care – I don’t care, just walk away…’ and never have to be polite again. Man I’d crack up if someone said that to me, I’d be like ‘oooooooooh I was totally thinking the same thing’ then again we’d probably end up being friends, it’d make me laugh rather hard. It might sound mean but you’d both know it’s so honest, probably very refreshing, it seems silly to waste time like that xx

Ah I’m so sick, sleepy, yucky. Just want to be motivated and study and get excited and stuff.

So tired but can’t sleep – cause I can’t breathe in my nose it’s too blocked. Can’t breathe in my mouth cause my throats too sore and I’m all asthma-ry. Bit my lip eating a lolly now I have a mega ulcer so I’m just sitting here with my mouth hanging open gasping for air desperate for sleep.

Could be worse I guess.

Can’t complain xx

My Mum took me on a wee adventure this week, so much fun having quality mama time, stayed in a fabulous hotel in Queenstown, was so nice to get away for just a wee while. They had a fantastic shop – The British Lolly Shop – in Queenstown, picked up a whole bunch of treats and my favourite Blackpool Rock candy stick! Super yum.

I started Uni this week! It’s so scary, I’m extremely excited though xx

I’m going to make it the most beautiful 7 days in the world.

I went for a walk today in the gardens, so, so pretty, sat on the side of the river in the sun, it was so hot and peaceful listening to the river trickling away. It was so nice not having the thought of work in the morning hanging over my head, I think this is the happiest Sunday I’ve had in forever.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 29 degrees so I’m going on a mission for a waterfall. Must bring my camera this time.

Oh and I want my house and magic garden to be so beautiful by next summer that I can have fabulous garden parties xx

I can’t believe it, it’s really here. I’m free!

Last proper day of work today… Still 1 day a fortnight, and just whatever pops up in between, but this is so good.

The bad is (touch wood) over, I really think that I have everything in the world right now, I feel so lucky.

I know we all will always want and think we need more but after the last year I have learnt to be so, so grateful for what I have in my life, I’ve assessed the shitness and removed it, it’s finally all out, now the good is getting better. No complaining here.

I finished work, came home, had some cuddles, my darling Julie came to see me with wine and nibbles and we drank, ate, smoked and chatted all evening in my flower patch in the sun. Had more cuddles. Perfect.

Tomorrow I will sleep in, then go for a walk at the gardens amongst all the native trees in the sun, then go have lunch beside the river, smile.

It’s the beginning of awesome.

xx

Wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow, Saturday, I never do Saturday, BUT, it is the end.

End of being stuck inside looking at the sunshine outside, no natural light, all summer, AGAIN.
End of being ordered around like a peasant by stupid, sheltered old woman.
End of having zero mental stimulation, having my brain drained.
End of doing the same thing 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.
End of living by somebody elses rules.

I vow to never, ever live by anybody elses rules ever again, I will enjoy next summer, living in my own time, sucking up every little bit of that sunshine.

Fuck yes.

You’re too ‘in’ right now, anyway. Over. It.

Summer’s nearly over, just as it starts to feel like it’s finally arrived. Autumn is beautiful though.

The countdown to uni is so on, 3 days of work to go. Hope I don’t get super broke and loose my house. Ha.

Fuck I want pink hair, but I’m nothing like a super model so will probably look stupid. Talk me out of it, ’cause it’s probably going to happen.

Oh, and, I hate it when my touchpad scrollbar craps out, which is a lot.

I’m going to have an early night so I can wake up and go for a BIG walk in the morning, ah!

I want to be lying on my back in a field watching this right now. Might watch Twilight. Brilliant.

I took dear Holga to the photo shop today to get the wedding photos developed… Let’s hope it actually works out. I always seem to fuck it up and it’s so damn expensive! Last time the roll cost me $9, now it costs $20, last time developing it cost me $50 (for 12 piddly shots)… So who knows how much it’s gonna cost me this time!

I’m scared, and naughty, I’ve bought so much online this week, on top of expensive clothing alterations and bills… Oops!

I’m so excited, this is my last week of full-time retail EVER, as of next week I am officially a student, thank fuck.

I’m going to do a bit of casual work but aim to be 100% my own boss by the end of the year, living off 1. student allowance (thanks government, you’re good for something) and 2. making beautiful websites for beautiful people. There is a 3. but that is yet to be announced, very excited though. Ah.

I really am not at all into poetry, but this is cute, it’s more like the sort of thing somebody would whisper in your ear as you drift off to sleep…

Dream Dust
Gather out of star-dust,
Earth-dust,
Cloud-dust,
Storm-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust,
Not for sale.

To be continued…

I’m super excited about the next time that my beautiful girlfriends come to town ’cause since they gave me my tea set and cupcake stand as my wedding present I’ve been planning a tea party!
I know that obviously cupcakes are involved but to make it even more exciting I just found a recipe on miseducated.net for COTTON CANDY TEA, wholey crap! How awesome is that, I’m addicted to that sugary shit so this cotton candy tea is totally gonna make a scene. I haven’t actually tried it yet but here’s the recipe… Enjoy!

Cotton Candy Tea
2 teaspoons rooibos tea
2 teaspoons mixed-fruit herbal tea
1 teaspoon oolong tea

Heat water to just before boiling and steep the teas and blends for 2-3 minutes. Add rock cane sugar (or use a rockcandy lollipop to stir!) while cooking to sweeten to your liking. Pour over ice. Top with a colorful fluff of cotton candy for extra sweetness.

** recipe from miseducated.net **

Todays donut inspired cupcakes… Sprinkles intended…

I don’t know what to do next… Hmmm… They really need something?!

Everything is making me so happy and inspired right now, colours and sugar and feathers and sparkles and stars and hearts and everything silly and girly but I love it, I love feeling so wonderful.

I have been starting to read blogs lately, I’m not usually into reading them, and don’t really consider this one myself, I see it more as my own little place to let all my web design/colour-girly-love flow. The thing is all these lovely little blogs are giving me all these lovely ideas that I feel the urge to share so they don’t disappear into a world of foreverness, I know that nobody other than my favourite girls will read but I just must put them here.

What I’ve noticed (and seem to be the only one without one) is either gratitude lists, seemingly silly but kinda sweet too, or ‘things I love thursday’ and so on. I think I’m going to start doing something along these lines, so I can remind myself day after day of all the lovely things in life, it would be especially nice for the days where work was shit and I need to smile a little. Hopefully they shall remind me of the feelings I have in my belly right now.

Hopefully my Charlie darling is reading this right now, I’ve invited her to contribute to my site with her own special thoughts, cause they are magical beyond belief.

There are so many amazing and lovely wee people with beautiful blogs that are helping make me so happy right now, so thank you.

Todays yummy blueberry lemon cupcakes, the others were much prettier but we ate them up… They were super mmm x

So… I had a big day of organising and arranging and I can now work in my workspace again with all my favourite things around me! Thanks to Photoshop with helping turn my world to a delightful shade of acid pink!

I had the best Christmas ever and to top it off, Boxing Day was my wedding day! Just my closest, super special friends and family came and aside from the fact that the day before was 32 degrees (celcius) and it had somehow dropped to 10 and was raining the whole time it was BEAUTIFUL! 

It has been an awesome day, got tonnes of presents, started going blonde (halfway there), ate heaps of lollies and cake and stuff, got a pretty new dress and my Dawny came to see me, didn’t even know the gorgeous girl was in town! Nearly christmas too! Smiles all ’round xx

I’m in .
