Week 24 8 Sadness A gorgeous long weekend, drinks with a friend and this gorgeous view. Sadness to have to go back to work tomorrow. 9 Disgust Sticking my hand up this chooks bottom to make delicious stuffing..... looks disgusting!   10 Anger One of my pet peaves is people who litter and think that someone else will clean it up. Angry!!  Stop being a slob.   11 Fear Three weeks before I got married in April 2014 I took a nice stroll outside and decided to sit in the nice deck chairs in the sun to relax and de-stress when they broke and I had huge bruises on the back of both my arms!!  I now have a fear of those fecking chairs.   12 Joy Puppies make me smile. Lots of pats, licks and friendly meets makes me happy with joy.  All animals I love but dogs are always so friendly, wagging their tails and hoping you will come and play with them.   13 On My mind Always have coffee on my mind... and this day at Tartine thi...

  22 Money - So many different currencies from travels in one little tin box.... 23 View - Gorgeous view from the train every morning as I pass Circular Quay... will there be a cruise liner docked or not is the thought. 24 In the Garden - Some colourful leaves on my walk to work this morning and did a little filter action to get them looking colourful 25 Depth of Field - Lychee mocktail (Dry July biatches) and I thought I would make the lychee the star of the shot, because, I mean who doesn't love lychees?! 26 Gift - My 1st year wedding anniversary gift to my husband is of course an Instagram poster. Addicted much? 27 Mini - Sometimes the day just needs a mini magnum. The end. 28 Orange - The bir/pet store next to our house has this cool little orange dude which always lets me know from a distance if the shop is open or not to get kitty stuffs.

  1 Many Many different colours and themes of the Vivid Festival. My favourite is Customs House. Truly beautiful colours.   2 Looking Up Coach Drew looking up at me after a game on Sunday football - cold and dark day and the boys played well but unfortunately didn't win.    3 Silly Love being silly with this man.  We have so much fun together and being silly and laughing is definitely a requirement for a happy marriage.  Silly eejits we are.   4 Starts With B One of the best looking Bridges in Sydney I would say... no matter what angle you see it from, it is gorgeous.   5 Looking Down Heading to Platform 6 at Wynyard to get train home.... looking down to see if my train is due at any minute to get home for the weekend. Happy Friday.   6 Who I am A cheeky, down to earth, grateful, strong and independent woman who loves her friends, family and all animals.   7 Forgotten Originally from Western A...

So nearly three weeks after my parcel was "left on the letterboxes" by TOLL Priority (read previous post here ),  I have finally spoken to the fashion group (who funnily enough have their offices a few hundred yards from my apartment building, quite ironic) I was advised that the TOLL driver had purely left my package on top of the letterboxes as they didn't fit in and it is Katie's (fashion group) policy is to leave without a signature. Surely that is a stupid policy.  So someone has gotten my awesome outfits that were on SALE for FREE and I get a simple answer of "we have run out of the items you ordered, a refund will be paid to this week"!. Very very disappointed to say the least.    So there you go. The lesson learnt is NEVER get things delivered to your home address. I normally do add my work address but thought "the post office is close to my house" surely they will just leave a slip in the letter box to collect at another time?! nope t...

As I sit here on hold for TOLL to explain to me where my missing parcel is I start to wonder about processes these companies have and how they can be such large companies but still lack a few little simple tools to make life MUCH easier for all parties.  Firstly getting me to enter my consignment number on the phone does not actually DO anything as they then ask for it again and enter it into the computer, so why ask for it in the first place if it doesn't do anything? Then they put you through to a different area and the person has NO idea what your query is and you have to go through the entire story again (trying to put on my nice patient voice).  All for a courier delivery service that truly should be simple, you ring the bell, no-one answers, you put a delivery card in the box so the purchaser (me) knows that they tried to deliver the item. It seems that the delivery people had a box ticked saying it was ok to leave without a signature, I didn't approve that, did the r...

Monday 15 - Sun The sunset in Hamilton Island would of been so lovely today in cold and wet wintery Sydney.  I love the sun, the warmth and the glow. Makes me feel alive.   Tuesday 16 - Anything Since I was a kid I have always looked up at the cloud and love seeing a shape of anything I can from animals, candy swirls to feathers. Anything shaped in the clouds I love.   Wednesday 17 - Lunchtime Last lunch in the CBD with my husband today at Chefs Gallery before he commences his new job at Macquarie park. Pork bun was #delicious   Thursday 18 - Local Love meeting up with my friend Rossy for a drink and a chat - we should do it more often but since our local is Cod & Co (used to be Cloudy Bay) in the Westfield's, we would be broke, drunk all the time and fat..... hmm.... that doesn't sound so bad.  A great local place to catch up with a friend in the city.   Friday 19 0 9 o'clock What else would I be doing on a Friday...

Loving the energy around me at the moment, there are so many of my friends having babies or finding out they are pregnant that is making me smile with so much happiness for them and on some level making me even more determined to have one of my own soon also.  The last four to five months have been a journey that is for sure, a journey that unless you travel it yourself you really couldn't imagine it at all.   I am a big believer of the universe being a little in control of my destiny and know that when the right time comes an angel will give us a little bundle of joy that will keep us up at night, keep us busy with feeding, changing and never ending cries, laughter and smiles.    I still feel a small pang of jealousy when I hear someone elses good news, but know that one day I will be sharing the same news hopefully with close family and friends. Life surely works in mysterious ways & I know that I need to be positive & focus on all the amaz...
