Dad is majorly evil with me right now. The postman came and delivered a parcel that I completely forgot all about. Doh.
On the plus side the parcel contained some Doodlebug alpha stickers, 2 Gelly Roll Sakura pens (Now I know why everyone goes gaga for these!!) and best of all what I always wanted and decided to treat myself to: Carte Postale stamps by "Clearly Impressed"! They're already cut so no need for cutting and mounting on foam just put it on the acrylic block, they're see through so I can see where I'm stamping, so I'm going to be playing with them some more later... especially seeing as I will be hiding out in my bedroom away from dad!!
Ooo, and I also found out this morning that I won the Heidi Swapp 567 embellishment box from Ebay! *Drools* Oops, just hope dad isn't on nights when that gets delivered too >.< But it was just �20 which over here is a bargain... most places selling them it's �29.99 plus P&P (S&H), over in America though, as it was on Heidi Swapp's blog and they're showing as $29.99, it's always a dollar to pound conversion and it's not fair. Had we got the right exchange rate, $29.99 would be �16.18, but �29.99 to dollars is $55.92, so now you can see why we get upset over here about the American companies doing dollar to pound rates! But now you know why I'm happy that I got it for just �20! lol

"Nearly the end of the month"

My site should be back on Tuesday, so happy about that!
Today I am exhausted, so relieved it's Friday. We have our last show of the summer on Sunday, 2pm in the Park so that should be cool as there's break dancers on after us then we can run over and go on all the fair rides, woo-hoo! Craig and his parents are coming to watch me how cool is that? :) Dad said he's not coming and mum said she'd have to see (because of dad) so I guess that's a no too. My internet keeps going down every 10 mins, so the next time it goes, I am not running down the stairs to sort it out... I'm playing Sims! So can't wait for the pet expansion pack, I never got the "unleashed" for the original sims, so this will be the first time my sims have pets!
... and just 3 pictures from last Sunday, which I need to finish proofing and stick on a CD...

"back in the land of hearing"

It's like someone turned the volume up lol.
Today has been so hot it's been practically unbearable, but then we're never happy when it comes to the weather! We're having thunder storms tomorrow so my window shall be shut so it doesn't wake me up in the early morning if it has started by then, and I will take a hot water bottle filled with chilled water.
I've come to the last 2 episodes of the second Bewitched series :( I need to get me a copy of the 3rd series now!

"Ears get sorted tomorrow"
23 July 2006 @ 4:29 p.m.
Ah yes, it's the non-existant wedding show tonight... The one that got cancelled. Major bummer, but on the plus side I have a day off work tomorrow to do with it as I please.
Stewart's going to have his tattoo done (AH! CRAP! I have to print him another copy of it...) in the morning but because I got to go to the doc's that afternoon I don't think I can be bothered to go in town twice in one day. So relieved about getting my ears looked at they're driving me insane. I can hardly hear a thing and I've been putting off seeing the nurse for a month or so.
Yesterday was pretty cool though, I went to watch Superman at the cinema and then me, Kylie and Craig all went into the park cos they had the Fair there, I went on a couple of rides it was fun! Mum said she used to take me and Stewart when we were younger. Well, we stayed until it started to get dark... Me and Kylie decided we weren't going unless Craig came with us! You need your wits about you in the park at that time! I'm dancing there on Sunday next week though, there's a huge festival thing happening at the mo in our hometown and in fact we passed a parade float on the way to the cinema haha.
Meanwhile, I'm off to get Leanne in two shakes and we're going to get Kylie for a goof off afternoon fun photo shoot. I'm taking my tripod so we can get some girlie group shots too I think!

"Tay lookie likey lol"

Completely random blog post today. Man it's so hot here. Speaking of hot, I was browsing some scrapbooking related blogs today and saw this picture. Hubba hubba. Reminds me of a certain crush I had back in 1997 (and no prizes for guessing who that would be haha!)
Oh well, just about 2 more weeks of this blog til my other one returns.

"engagement shoot"
17 July 2006 @ 5:51 p.m.
Here's some of the better ones I got...
I've been told by the people on the photography forum that the one of Crystal on her own is too dark and the colour version of Rich and Crys has too much blue to it. So I gotta fix, but I don't know, I kinda quite liked it that way?
------------------------
"Nervous!"
16 July 2006 @ 11:52 a.m.
Nice and sunny which is fantastic. I'm going to give Richard and Crystal a call in a second to see when they'd like to go out and have their pictures taken. I know they're my friends, but I'm so nervous about this! I don't want to screw it up. I'll post later with some nice pics... I hope lol!

"Getting the hang of it now."
15 July 2006 @ 5:37 p.m.
I got to play with my camera down nan's house again today... Whenever I go in the house with my Nikon in tow gramp starts going: "Here's David Bailey..." Haha.
It was only Jackie and Tim with us today, Leanne was already there, so once Nan handed Kenzie over to Lea I persuaded her to stand in the doorway with him for me to take a couple of shots.
Then me and Lea started goofing outside
And in the distance we heard the magic twinkling noise...
Leanne got herself a 99 Flake and I got myself a refresher cider lolly yum yum!
and I'm telling you, trying to get Kenzie to sit still long enough to get a clear picture of him indoors is hard. He's such a wriggler and with my aperture at 4.5 and it not being bright enough inside the shutter speed is slower and I always get a blurred shot, but then Leanne tried to take his picture and kept him occupied with her camera so I could get this one:
I've proofed them all with Itty Bitty Actions... Yes I gave in! haha, but they're so amazing :) Just look at those pictures. They're tons better than the originals.
How awesome too, I'm going to be chatting to Miranda tomorrow, that'll be so cool! The show went well too

"back to my home"
14 July 2006 @ 11:05 p.m.
I just knew that was going to happen, it's been sending me "80% bandwidth used" messages for 2 days now. But I don't see how.
Grr.
So this shall be my new home til August :)
Hope you like the layout I just did anyway. That bear is the one in my nan's bedroom sat on the rocking chair!
Wish me luck, I got a dance show tomorrow.
