of late, which kinda defeats the purpose of why i started the blog (daily writing or something like that...) but i have not only been sick (see last post) but busy at work (working on a very cool and interesting project) and had my sister and her family up for the weekend...
the visit was great, except both ben and i were sick...it was great for them to finally meet ben (they live in melbs) and great for me to see them but it is hard work entertaining when all you feel like doing is, well, nothing! actually coz when i'm sick i don't really like to actually move...and don't get me wrong, it's not like they take any 'entertaining' per se, but still when people fly 800kms to see you and they have young kids you can't just sit around ALL weekend doing nothin'...
that aside, there were many many highlights of the weekend - one of my favourite (refer a previous blog where i bemoaned the fact that my nephew and i had NEVER witnessed our team win together) moments was when the mighty Blues came back from a 30 point deficit at 3/4 time to beat the Port by 12 points - the most appropriate way to describe how cool that moment was is 'you fucking beauty!'...daniel and i were jumping around the living room like demented people, even my sister (who is not a massive AFL fan) was excited and Ben (who i'm slowly converting into a Blues fan - figure he's a St George fan - so he's already used to supporting a losing team...) was quite vocal for a 'novice' AFL fan...it was cool! in all the years i have been brainwashing the little guy about Carlton, we finally got to see them win together - NICE - the singing of the song (over and over again) never sounded so good...
ben and i reached our 3 month anniversary and celebrated by going back to manly (which is technically where we first met), got some lunch and had a look round the surf shops...my relationship with him is better than a lotto win (good job really since we didn't win the $58m - and seriously we didn't need it all - i would have been happy with $580k...maybe next time??) - things have moved to a deeper level between us and it's fabulous - another little milestone with him on the weekend but it's way too private and special to share - suffice it to say i feel like the luckiest girl on the planet...no words seem adequate for how i'm feeling right now...
sooo on another note i ran into a number of colleagues today as i found myself working at a former work location - it was really nice to see some of them - realise how many decent people i work with :-) sad though that i managed (inadvertently) to gather more evidence today against the corporate prostitution treadmill and add to my feelings of disenchantment with said employer - yet another tale of woe about how they have treated a fellow employee...it's kinda sad - i wonder if there will ever be a time when companies truly 'walk the talk'???
and finally something really cool happened last week (which i haven't yet blogged about) - i recently submitted my assignments for the last module i did - my educator emailed me to ask if i would send her a soft copy of one of my papers saying that she'd like to keep it as a sample of a 'high distinction' paper - coz i got a high distinction! yippee....very proud of self...
more later...
nite xox...
