Stabby Rip Stab Stab

I accidentally just got a paper cut on my wrist and all of a sudden I have the uncontrollable urge to go and sit out the front of Hungry Jacks.

I am at work now so my boss can play golf. My bitch is at home cleaning/looking at porn. I want to go to the drive-in at Yatala tonight but he wont take me. Woe is me.

*yawn*

I never promised you a rose garden.

It's Friday! This means kebabs and sex in the Leebert household tonight. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow but thems the breaks. I hope it is still rainy on Sunday. I am going to do a roast and spend the day curled up on the couch - sublime.

We slept in front of the TV-alision last night and around 3 this morning there was an ad on for the dodgy country CD collection - fully remastered classics endorsed by Kenny Rogers himself. Since I have woken up I haven't been able to get the songs out of my head, especially that one about making my brown eyes blue, I reckon eating alot of Kablooeys would do that to you.

I really despise work at the moment and am not in a good place. This contract shit is really bothering me and I want to get it sorted. I was fucked around for a long time waiting for it and am not really happy with what I have been presented with. I am asking questions and trying to negotiate with my boss but he is pretty much ignoring me and not being very obliging. I would think being the sole employee of the company I would have some kind of leverage or bargaining power but my boss knows that I am in no real position to quit so I pretty much have to like it or lump it. the alternative I have been offered is continuing on as casual at 40 hours a week. This kind of feels like a step backward after all the screwing around but I think it will probably be financially better for me. I am not sure. My boss tried to pidgeon hole me with 2 options so I have done it straight back to him. We'll see how it pans out. I wish they were more organisd so there just wasn't so much hassle involved. I hate working for a small business.

Bah.

I am getting shafted by my boss and Johnnie's new IR Laws. Y'all can suck my flaps because it ain't happening.

I have photos from Splendour, shall post them asap. Was a good time but I think I'm getting over it. I would much prefer to sit at home eating scones and reading Woman's Weekly.

I have to work Saturday which sucks some uber weiner.

More later homies. I am going home to eat tomato soup.

Keeping the dream alive...

el.em.en.oh.peeeee

Where does time go? It feels like only hours ago it was Friday arvo and now it's Monday morning and I'm back at work. However, its only a four day week this week so that's ok. We have a big Splendour weekend coming up.

Despite its fleetingness (?) it was a pretty eventful weekend. I caught up with an old friend at Stone's Corner on Saturday for my first Sushi Train experience. I haven't been to Stone's Corner in probably around 5 years but I remember it being a way better shopping experience than it is now. Its hardly even factory outlets anymore - just cheap clothing stores where everything is either crocheted or made from lycra. So we sat and ate sushi and talked about weddings.

After lunch the booga and I headed out to Bray Park for drinks at his friend house. I had a great time, for the first time in quite a while I was able to consume more than 2 drinks without curling up in a ball on the couch and falling asleep. It was Andy's son, Kade's, second birthday a few days ago so we took him and RTD2 My Potato Head thingy - hilarious. He is so cute with his little mullet and his jibberish. I admire that he can repeat the same sentence to me 5 time because I don't understand what he is saying and doesn't even get frustrated. I relaxed my hard and fast stance on ever having kids momentarily on the condition that any children we did have would stay that age and that adoreable forever.

Sunday was a lazy day. I loooooooove lying in bed with James in the morning knowing we don't have to get up for anything. Hugging and kissing and laughing and chatting, back stratching, pimple squeezing, spooning - these are the moments that I just wish we could live in forever.

Our first strawberry ripened on Sunday, delicious. Our tomato plant has so many tomatos growing but none of them are ripening. I'm not quite sure what to do about this. Our capsicum has also hit a wall, it has two little midget purple capsicums on it that wont seem to grow any bigger. I also discovered a secret rose bush I never new we had - it had two gorgeous pink roses on it which I proceeded to pick and put in a vase. Loverly. It was a really beautiful weekend.

I need to make around $720 a day to get any kind of a bonus this month. That is scarey - I don't know if we'll get there but I will try. If anyone needs any embrodiery done drop on by :D

Atchoooo

I sneezed just before and it tasted like red skins. The other day I threaded a needle whilst sneezing.

That's all.

A little ray of sunshine...

...in the shape of a James.

I spent the better part of Saturday listening to James whinge about his poor poor hang-over. He got no sympathy from me though - NUUH! He may have gotten sympathy if he hadn't drunk my drinks the night before because he thought I wouldn't notice. He may have gotten sympathy if he didn't also drink the entire bottle of wine I bought on top of his other drinks. And he may have gotten sympathy if he had listened to me as I tried to coax him out of that last glass of port even though he was well and truely drunk and the part was well and truely over. He waltzed his mother around the lounge room singing his adapted version of 'Little Ray of Sunshine' and then came to bed and started talking in tongues to me about taking my shirt off. Boys eh?

We have a place and a date for our wedding. We also have 100 yards of polka dot ribbon.

At last my ring is ready to be picked up from the jewellers after being resized, I was getting worried they had eaten it.

Work is really busy at the moment - I am swamped, its ok though, makes the days go quicker. Apparenly my boss had 3 separate customers comment to him on Saturday about how wonderful I am. Funny considering I am a complete cow to the other 97 customers I serve a week. Haha, just kidding - I am loverly to all.

It is birthday season at the moment. If I ever have children they are not going to be born around this time of year, its just cruel. I will have October babies - noone is born in october.

We are getting so many engagement presents its crazy. I never realised it was something you got presents for unless you had a party but people are popping up with pressies all over the place. Everyone is awesome, thankyou cards are on the way homies :D

I am tired and look like crap. I have had a cold so at the moment I have a really sexy husky voice, I wish it didn't have to go away. I have decided to be a girl and start taking more pride in my appearance, it will be an effort but it must be done. I am sick of feeling all skanky and looking like a slapper.

Ideas on Toast

Loving :: Black with white polka dots & cherries. For all those people who have screwed their face up at me when I have talked about it this is what it looks like...

Dum Dum Da Da

Our planned wedding date is over a year away and there are already battles. I wish I had one of those boyfriends who didn't care about anything and just left all the details up to me, no - scrap that, I enjoy that he cares I just wish he agreed with me. I am trying to balance out quantity with quality and etiquette while taking into account a strict budget. Anyone who knows James on the other hand knows he just wants to rock and roll all night and party every day. Its ok though - we will find compromise and by compromise I mean he will see my point of view, haha.

We are checking out a venue on Saturday and I am totally pumped. It is perfect - no tulle or bows for miles, great price, so helpful staff and an awesome location. Most importantly to us it is unique. I know I should keep it all under wraps and not blog about it but I don't think many people read this anyway. This place has a large indoor room where we hope to hold a cocktail-style reception and a large outdoor roof-top deck over looking the river where we are thinking of holding the ceremony. Here are a couple of sneak peaks to make you moist...



I have sooooo many ideas, I am a completely certified creative genius. This is going to be the best wedding ever.
