Hair Heaven

New Hair. I love it.

Bee is fantastic. She is so friendly and easy to talk too. I just said I wanted to keep the length and do something with the colour and this her creation. She was so excited to me giving me a makeover. It only took 1.5 hours and cost $150 which I think is great. I will definitely be going back :-)

Hair Hack

My hair is abysmal at the moment. I haven't had it done since about April last year.

Thank god I about to leave work and early and make my way down to Peggy Sue's. I have read such great things I am actually excited about going. I usually hate the experience of going to the hairdresser. Despite common misconceptions due to my loud mouth and tendency to say inappropriate things to people I barely know (ie. suggest their friends had a make-up child), I am shocking at small talk. Wish me luck

Completely leeming this one:

Remind me to show you my TopShop one. The boy just LOVES it (not).

Not Newsworthy

I want to update my blog, I truly do. But... I have nothing to say. No advice and no pointless anecdotes to share.

Thank you all for keeping on following my blog despite this abundance of nothingness.

Hopefully I will find some inspiration in the future.

Peace Out

Toodles Two Thousand and Ten

Despite my completely neglecting my blog, I seem to have gained some new followers. Hi there newbies.

I was terribly miserable driving to work the other day. I have a LOT of work to do before the 24th, I have little motivation, I am not been getting a lot of sleep and feel very worn down, Christmas always stresses me out and most of all, my boss was recently diagnosed with cancer and it is very upsetting (in good news I went to visit her at hospital today and she is doing really well and may get to go home tomorrow after having surgery on Friday). 

Anyway, I was driving and listening to Nathan and Nat on Nova (I know, mock away) and Scott Russel Hill, who does weekly psychic readings for listeners (which I can't stand and am completely intrigued by at the same time),said to someone that 2010 was there year of good things.

This got me thinking about my 2010 and I realised that 2010 has been a really good year for me, probably my best in memory. I am still feeling down in the dumps but I think writing down this year's good things will make me feel better. So here goes (in no particular order): 

1. I became a real lawyer
2. I got off my arse, put myself out there and met a wonderful man (yes D, I am being soppy )
3. I lost 14 kilos
4. I am the fittest I have ever been in my life
5. I started a blog
6. People actually followed my blog
7. I have managed to get up for Bootcamp at 6am twice a week for three and half weeks straight (so far - this is a new thing)
8. I helped plant a garden
9. I got an iPhone (hehe)
10. I ran around Lake Monger (and bitched and moaned the whole time)
11. I won a very important hearing at work
12. I signed up for the Rottnest Swim (and then sadly had to pull out due to extenuating circumstances)
13. I learnt how to surf (well I can't stand yet but I am learning)
14. I became a strong swimmer for the first time in my life
15. I can play G on my guitar (maybe I will have to adjourn by promise to play carols to next Christmas)
16. I helped make a projector screen
17. I developed muscles in my legs and arms I never knew were there
18. I wore a bikini (and felt good - until I saw the photos)
19. I won some really great bargains on Ebay
20. I finally cleaned all my old crap out of mum and dad's house
21. I became the journey to fix my teeth (even if it does mean braces for a short while)
22. I .....

I am out. Perhaps I will keep thinking about good things to try and help me stay afloat. I might even add to my list.

Write your own list (if you want) it feels good.

A Poem by Fi

The place I like to go so much

Is somewhere in my dreams

I only wish I'd go there

When my head is full of screams

The world I love is dying

And somewhere far away

The world I love is crying

And calling me to play

XOXO

Swimming Support

I have decided to do the Rottnest Swim next year.

For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a 19.7 kilometre ocean swim from the Mainland (Perth) to Rottnest Island. It is one of the biggest ocean swim competitions in the world. See here:

Now, I am not crazy and I am not doing the whole thing myself, I am swimming in a team of four. The standard thing to do is for each team member to swim for about ten minutes at a time and we have eight hours to swim the whole thing.

I am not as fit I have been in the pool and I have been slack on the exercise front of late but people (mainly my parents) are being relay discouraging about my decision.

Not that my parents have ever really been the type to shower me with compliments and tell me how wonderful I am (parents who don’t even tell me I was "good" when I used to get up and sing, act and dance in front of an audience – not that I am sour or anything) but I spoke to them on Sunday about it and they did not say one positive thing about this decision.

They were all like, “you know it costs $250 to enter” and “you can’t wear your snorkel” and “you should be able to swim 40 laps nonstop” and “you should be able to swim five kilometres”. No Mum and Dad, I just decided to enter without doing any research!!

It is just very frustrating. I am doing something good for myself and nada!!

So very maturely, to spite all my non-believers, I am going to do this and I am going to do this on my own. I could ask my dad to help me train but I am not going too. I am just going to go along my merry way and do it all myself (with the help of my team of course). And I am not going to mention the swim to my parents again. And if they bring it up, I will fob them off. Wow, I am such a great person huh.

But you what, I am not doing this to win it. I am doing this to do something with my life. To have something to work for and look forward too. Even if my team does not finish or I struggle on the day, at least I would have tried. So screw you non-believers, I am going to do this and this will be me!!!

  

Fifties Fail

In today’s outfit, I have been strutting around fancying I look like Joan Holloway here:

It is probably because I bought a cute vintage blouse from The Vintage Valley (check out her blog too, she is gorg) which I am styling today (plus coffee stains from before I even stepped in the door at work). 

Shirt - Vintage

Skirt – Cue

Cardigan – Country Road

Shoes - RMK

Nose – Napoleon Perdis (I have a pimple the size of Mount Everest and as red as the parted sea so much cover up is required. I could seriously lead Santa on his Merry way with this thing!!)

In reality I think I might have missed the par a bit and exposed some serious "Arms Out" action (ie. arms like that should be covered to protect the human eye)!!

Whatever... It is the WEEKEND!!!!!! Yay.
