so i’m back…. issues with hosting but it’s all resolved now.
how was your weekend?
The gorgeous Melissa has tagged me! So here I go …
What was I doing 10 years ago:
Getting ready to graduate high school!!
I’ve just received an invite to attend the 10 year high school reunion, it’s kind of strange to think 10 years has passed but I really do feel like another person
5 things on my to-do list today:
1. Work my ass off (as per usual)
2. Make sure I take a lunch break
3. Make a few new posts on my gluten free food blog and new baby blog (yes I’m going blog crazy).
4. Relax/meditate/chill out for 1 hour (didn’t manage to do this over the LONG weekend, how ridiculous is that? even through the SATC movie I wasn’t relaxed, too excited!)
5. Remember that it’s not ALL bad
Snacks I enjoy:
Probably easier to list out things I don’t enjoy, lol.
I really like grapes, rice crackers, CHOCOLATE, water, ribena, CHOCOLATE, cheese, apples.
Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
– Be a full time mum for a while, I really feel the pull to be with my son so it breaks my heart that I’m not doing that right now
– Donate to charities, be involved with charities
– Travel
– Design and build our ultimate family home
– Make my family comfortable
Places I have lived:
Sydney, Australia 🙂
People I want to know more about:
karen, kris, amanda, carrie, bob
i, like the many thousands of people across australia, made it to the cinema’s this week to catch the new sex and the city movie! my sister treated me to a gold lounge ticket at reading cinemas – which was worth the price tag. free popcorn and soda refills, a (not free) menu of food and desserts, (wine/spirits/beer if you so wanted aswell) and BIG comfy reclining chairs to sit back and relax in
i wouldn’t call myself a ‘big fan’ of SATC but i liked the series enough to want to watch it on dvd now and then. i admit that i don’t know enough about fashion to understand what was going on with Carrie’s wardrobe, but i love the entertainment of it all – one big advertisement for as many labels as possible – all way over my price limit!
i won’t post about the story line, just in case you haven’t seen it yet. but i will talk about one thing i really liked – Carrie’s apartment!
i love her studio apartment so much, that yes i did recreate it in Sims 2 …. i love how functional they’ve made such a ‘small’ place. in the movie though, they redecorated it – updated it, and i love it:
the electric blue walls are amazing, i love the 2 matching love seats, coffee table and wall cabinets, i love that her desk is so simple and clean and i love the photo frames behind her bed.
for some people, they will drool over louis vuitton bags, and manolo blahnik shoes – me, i like furniture and floorplans. alot.
oh, to live onscreen with a budget as big as tasmania.
