~~ Rainbows RULE! ~~

Yes it has taken me AGES to get these up but yes I have pictures from Lea and Flora's birthdays.  No doubt there is more to come when Keri uploads hers :)

  to the usual suspects :P

Friends,

 

Party Pics are up in the albums!  What a party night.

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to dress up and brave the chilly hills air and enjoy the celebrations of Danuta and my Birthday!

 

Happy 27th Danuta!!

 

Thank you also for all my lovey presents!!! I am very lucky to have such beautiful, kind, generous, fun loving, kindred spirited friends!

 

Love you all.

Check the photo album - SCI FI BIRTHDAY

I was walking out to my reception area, from client services, which looks out towards the hills as you may already know if you have seen my view photos in previous blog entries, and I was thinking to myself,

"gee it would be awesome if I could just have a birthday rainbow."

 

I sat down in reception and looked out the window and wouldn't you know it....one started to appear!!!! At first just the faint shadings of colour on the hill line developed and before long it had grown into a very richly saturated coloured rainbow shard.... within the hour it had turned into a massive perfect bow, and then into a double...fat and deep and gorgeous!

 

What amazed me even more was that the end of the 'bow out the window had ended on the hospital (now apartments) where I was born!!!! As it progressed it came almost up to the window so close you could almost touch it!!

 

Consequently my muffled squeels of delight and bouncing around the office windows had some colleagues looking at me like I was a freak and then there were others who joined me in my joy of the simple things in life!

 

Let me share this with you as I managed to get photos!!!

It's been quite some time since my last confession, please forgive me dear friends.

 

So its my birthday eve and all I can think about is one certain person overseas and the 'can it/can not' scenarios that play out in my head,  in between the buzzing here buzzing there, Aikido, work, Naturopathy study and house stuff.  That and the party that shall be celebrated this weekend. Danuta and I shall be celebrating our birthday with a Sci-fi bonfire party, photos sure to be added soon.

 

It's funny how the idea of turning 28 makes me feel slightly more at ease than turning 27 and I can assure you that turning 29 will make me feel positively ill. Odd numbers man.... I think I have a numerological disorder..lol

 

In between getting the house looking a bit more homely rather than a student pit, and the usual treadmill of life, I have managed to sneak in a few more treks up the hill on a more regular occasion and a few classes of Aikido and some Capoeira.  I certainly enjoy them, but I don't think I have found the martial art that makes my body sing with passion yet.... Karate was close but perhaps Taekwondo or Juj-jtsu  will resonate more.

 

I've also added the latest photos from the last few parties to the photo bank including some fire dancing.  Some very interesting pics .... if you would like a copy of the extended versions email me... and that includes "CAKE!..thats the one!"

 

 

 

Today TB and I participated in the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Race Against Poverty.

It was conducted like the Amazing race, yet we raced around the streets of the CBD, decoding clues to find the marker points and collect Aid Dollars which we added to the AID-o-meter which would then go to the Governmental Treasuer to put forth that 0.5% in aid for poverty stricken countries is what we wish as a nation.

 

www.makepovertyhistory.com.au is the site which is backed by many world aid organisations detailing what we did.

 

Every little bit counts, every little bit helps.

 

 

Yes indeed I am most excited as I have begun Lacrosse training for another winter season! I have surely missed the excessive running and the endless satisfaction of scoring goals past a padded goalie into a small goal!

 

I am mostly excited about the fact that by playing Lacrosse with a distict degree of seriousness means that I will be curbing my talents for pissing my salary down the drain on the weekends, as I have been while keeping the company of certain individuals and plus the added fitness that is gained by training with a team and playing a team sport. Playing Saturday games and having Sunday morning training means that I shall be a much healthier and much richer individual, and hey there is no way that can ever be bad!

 

Making the recent changes in my life has been the best thing I have done in a long time, as I am now free to worry about succeeding in life, how to achieve my life long dreams and making proactive steps to do so, rather than how to help people who don't want to help themselves.  There is only so much listening and being unjudgemental one can do before one snaps.

 

I do have more to say on this matter, but I have been brought up with the dogma that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

 

Back to the topic of exercise, in my last post you can see my office.  The Optus house is 14 storeys high. There are two flights of stairs to every floor.  I work on one of the upper levels and my other female accounting co-workers and I have a routine where we climb the stairs to the top floor, stretch, then decend to the ground floor, and then power walk around the block being boardered by South Tce, Sir Leonard Cohen Dr, Greenhill Rd and Peacock Rd and then back up to the 14th floor (15th really because we go past the 14east and 14 west up to the plant room top level) and then back down to our office.  Its a good thing that we have a shower in the office too!

 

Back into my size 10 clothes and a bikini in summer here I come...............rockin!

 

Womens Lacrosse games are played on the West Tce grounds on Saturday mornings/afternoons.

Come watch chicks running around with sticks and slick moves! GO BURNSIDE BEARS!!
