YAY the marching band DVD came in the post! It's fantastic! I remember so much about it, I started feeling nervous when I was watching the pre-game bit, remembering how I felt waiting to go out onto the field. I can't wait to show it around, I'm glad I got a copy, finally.
The cat came down, against it's will. I was going to nail up some chicken wire, but when we folded it and tried to nail it, it seemed to stay up there fine by itself, it just needs to be a deterrant so that it looks blocked off to the cat. Poor bored kitty. I let it out today, so it has had some time to go play in the bushes.
New shirts at work went well, lots of customers said they looked good. Lots of customers asked if they were new too, just to check they were right.
It was a good shift yesterday, except at the end, right before closing time, a lady arrived at the checkouts with a $500 home delivery, two full trollies. It was just one thing after another.
We bought 'playboy mansion' for x-box. It was a late night playing that last night. zzzzzz.

Movie Review - Pursuit of Happyness
Pursuit of Happyness - Will Smith
This movie was fantastic, I loved every minute of it. It's based on a true story about a very smart guy who goes through some very hard times. He is struggling to sell scanners to hospitals, is only getting enough to keep afloat, struggling with taxes and rent. His wife leaves him when it gets too hard, and leaves him with their son, Christopher. When walking past an accountancy firm one day he notices how happy they all are, and resolves to become a stock broker to solve his problems.
It's a beautifully shot film, you hardly notice the camera is there as you go along with him in his life. This is Will Smith as I have never seen him. It's his real life son in the film with him, he is a cutie and a natural in front of the camera. You really feel for this guy and the difficulties he manages just to survive. In the end it really made me cry. The film has been given a GA rating, (Grandma Approved) Everyone will love this film, certainly one to see at the cinema before it ends.

Cat
My cat is up in the roof again.
A few days ago, as I was getting ready to leave for work, the cat looked up in the vent over the stove and thought there might be something interesting up there. So it climbed up. I couldn't get it down, so I left it there. It was after 11 when I got home. I had to climb on the wheely bin to get up high enough to grab it. And now it's up there again. I'm going to bunnings to get chicken wire to nail across the hole. Or in this case cat wire. Stupid cat. Grrrrr!
Mark has moved out, gone back to shepp. Now the house has just me and jill, it's a bit emptier than it was before. Still haven't got it sorted out properly, I can't be bothered unpacking my bags from last week. I'll just have to make myself.
We're wearing the new shirts today, it will be interesting to see what the customers have to say. No more ugly white shirts with stains and buttons falling off. Pity they didn't really plan it out very well, and no-one has enough shirts to work for a week. Mark only got one. And he works full time.
I've been having a bit of a holiday from jenny craig food this week. I finished out the week last week, then rang up and cancelled last thursday so I could have a go at finishing off some of the extra food I have. That didn't work so well, I don't want to fill out the diary but I know I have to, and I just can't face it. I should go to the gym today so it's not all a total loss.

Planning
I did the good samaritan thing last night, on my way home from work. There were two pregnant african women stopped on Pascoe Vale road with their hazard lights on. I ran back to see if they needed any help, to find their radiator was completely out of water and the battery flat. It took about 20 minutes to fill it up and get it started with jumper leads but I managed to get them on their way at least. It felt good to be able to help them.
Work was good last night, but it was so hot in the store! I have today off work on monday and I need to get tuesday covered, and then I can go back home to start confirming a few things. It's all very exciting so far, planning. I went to a jetset travel and got some information about going on honeymoon, and have decided to go to Fiji. I'll go to a few other places before booking anything in. Then the next thing is the invitations. and the reception menu. And the dress.
Today is Marks last day in the city. He goes home to start work on monday, moving into our house in about two weeks. It's going to be very different and a little lonely in this house without him. At least I have Jill here with me, she wont let me be too lonely.

HOT OR NOT?
Hey, it's posting time.
I'm moving into the magical magical time called class selections. It is comprised of embarking on a mighty quest for the perfect class, (or an adequate one will do, as long as I can pass it...), searching through forests of web pages, crossing the dessert of phone hold, and gaining entrance to the many castles called faculty offices. There you battle dragons and befriend many interesting creatures and finally slay the subject selections beast and rescue the damsel called 'timetable'. Making it to the right class on time on the first day will make a hero out of anyone.
Its time for new uniforms at work. They are green and three quarter sleeved for the girls, and no more shirts or ties. There have been mixed opinions, a lot of people say they hate them but I think they look quite nice. They will grow on people, and it is definately time for a change. Anyway, you be the judge.
HOT OR NOT?

Winding up the holidays
It's mid way through the holidays, feb is fast arriving.
I've had a few ciders and its getting hard to type what I am thinking.
Maybe i'm not thinking as clearly as I think.
I think that last sentence is proof you need.
I worked today, it was easy. I like it better when I am in charge.
I don't want to go back to another semester of uni.
I have a lot of lesson plans floating around in my head, but I'm not sure where to start.
I don't know if real students would like them.
I am booking the church, and deciding on the wedding venue.
Nov 3rd.
I hate T.V.
It is an evil on the face of the earth.
I've seen a few too many adds, that usually turns me agro.
This is my invention for emails, it's called the vertical post.
You just type the sentence you have in your head.
It's easier to make them long this way.
And coherence isn't an issue.
I'll update again soon when I am a little more... betterer.
Anyway, bye.

Happy New Year!
Well, thats the last of the celebration days over for a while. We can all relax for a while and enjoy the summer (such as it is at the moment...)
I worked with Kat yesterday, and I'm leaving to go there again today. It was soooo busy, and it's hard work carting things around and constantly moving. I worked from 10 till 8, raced home to change and then went with Jill into the city. There were so many people out! Some people in the crowds were really rude, I got elbowed in the face by some idiot who thought he was more important than the rest of us. We were befriended by a drunk girl on the train who had had two bottles of wine, and wanted to be friends with everyone. She was a BIG girl, wearing a very small top and bra and showing her 'friends' dale and goliath off to everyone. Her real friends were sitting across from us, and kept apologising for her behaviour, but Jill and I thought it was great fun. Certainly made the train trip interesting.
We took a walk along south bank, Jill got blisters on her feet, and we confirmed that everything was booked out and had at least a $50 entry fee. Some places I saw were charging around $110 for the night. Blue train had been selling tickets for weeks, $100 a go, at least 160 expected. Nice nights work. I think there will be some very tired people when I get in there.
We met up with Bec and Stu and made our way to the banks of the Yarra at about 11 pm, to see if we could find a little square of grass to fit ourselves into. We managed to find a very little square to fit, but luckily everyone around us was so nice to let us squish in. The fireworks, when they went off were amazing, so much light and colour. There were fireworks going off from a few different places, it was hard to know where to look! It's funny listening to a massive crowd going ohh! and ahh! at the same place.
Getting home wasn't as hard as I was imagining. There were a lot of people in at Flinders street, but this time connex actually listened to the public and ran trains all night. I don't know what idiot was responsible for last year, but I am glad I didn't go into the city at that time. If I was to go to fed square again I would like to book into one of the resturants and have a real party, but this was a fun cheap way to spend new years.
