The Gnomes Made Me Do It!

Stay at home? Hard work!

After gyming today, I had to oversee the re-installation of the two mutha sized central airconditioning units in our living room. Taking care of workers needs, cleanining up the mess, it's still not done. Another 2 more days of sawing, drilling, hammering. Running a household is no easy feat.

Next time when I see ladies put down occupation:housewife, I'm going to have a lot more respect for them. Unless of course they are sporting huge bling bling rings and have 2 maids in tow.

Here's to Stay at home mums, working mothers, our mothers, grandmothers, wives, live-in girlfriends, what a brilliant job all of you have done. RESPECT!

Throw me a candy
I am fricken proud of myself! I've exercised religously for 5 days this week. Had 9.45am yoga this morning and texted the badger that I would not make it out of sheer laziness but I felt so damn guilty I couldn't go back to sleep. So WTF, just wake up and go for the cat stretches. Got to make space for christmas stuffing, literally. Determined to kick start the morning gymimg routine, at least 25mins on the treadmill, shower then work.

I can't wash my hair for 2 days and feel really grubby and filthy.
My father stood next to me and exclaimed loudly "Do you smell horse urine?" Of course I gave him a big time WTF look. Anyway we accertained that it was the smell of the perming lotion. Do I smell that bad? Best if all of you approach me a 5 foot pool and gently poke me first.

From poofy to goofy. Limp curls make me look like, as what jen calls brighton (their poofy golden retriever) when he has his shower, a wet goat. Bleat.

I am off for an afternoon snooze then sermon at the HOUSE OF HORRORS! woowee.
Have a nice weekend all.

Just Call me Poofy
I did it. I've permed the damn thing. It was relatively smooth going and the kind folk and Shunji shared my pain with regards to bad neighbourhood hairdressers. And! I was seated next to this pretty eurasian guy getting his hair rebonded! Put me to shame. He was so metrosexual, definately not gay because he was furiously texting his gurlfriend as he was telling me. Anyway, this boy knew his products and even asked the stylist why they stopped bringing in a particular brand of wax. Impressive. Anyway I didn't look all that glam with my curlers and perming fluid dripping down my face. Not glam at all.

Bad photo, my phone takes bad photos, but who gives a rats ass. Poof Poof Poof.

Being the winger that I am I just had to winge about my alien new do. Winge I did.
Jen immediately called and came down with Edwin to join lil drummer gurl and myself for dinner. So sweet lah. Sigh.
Can count on them to instantly perk me up.

I never knew how much small things matter to me, but I guess it's really amplified now that I've been padding about on my own everyday. I am really looking forward to Batam on Sunday with the gang and chilling at Gary's the whole of monday.

Now excuse me while I go zzush my hair silly and soak in the poof.
Night!

I turned down the job at the charity outfit afterall!
I'll be rejoining the TeeVee girls and boy.
I made a 3pm appointment at Shunji. The last time they cut my hair, they did such a great job!
I should have just stuck to my guns and forked out proper money in the first place.
I never learn you know!
I always think I can get away with a cheap cut at em suburban salons but then paying more money to go rectify it later.
Oh well.
I may just get a poodle do and perm the whole thing. Frankly, i don't care how ridiculous I look. No that's a lie. I do. That's why I'm going to blow $300 in an hour. Ah what the hell. No christmas shopping for Jo.
Good luck to myself.
Bye.

I had 2 offers from 2 different friends today.
Thing is, I said yes to one before returning 2nd friend's call.
Damnit.
TeeVee station pays heaps better, it's just 10mins from home and I get to work with familiar faces.
Charity pays ALOT less, I have to travel to the CBD and start in foreign environment.
But I already said yes to Charity so I'm going to have to honour my words.
Hokay. Last day of day time yoga before the next assignment. Good. Langudity for extended periods is not good for one's mind and soul.

I need to get out and take more pictures.

Gnome Poo!
Word quit on me again after I redid my cover letter, it's getting to the point of ridiculous.
I think I'm seriously considering selling away this hunk of metal.
Anyway since I cling on dearly to my enemy of common title, I don't want to be a pretend mac convert anymore.
And hence begins a new chapter, in every sense.
Goodbye asthetics, hello practical functionality.

It's a Super Combo Drive
PowerBook G4 15"

I wonder how much I'll get.
