Pondering.

I wonder if I will ever blog again?

23.

Guess I had best start getting used to having no friends, because as Blink182 said...

"no-one likes you when you're 23."

again.

Remember that time, not all that long ago, August in fact, when I had tonsillitis?

Yep, well. I have it again.

Damn you tonsils and you ability to get inflamed and cause me pain!

At least I caught it early this time, and it wasn't full blown horrible pain!

Do your stuff, Penicillin, and do it fast!

scream.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please excuse me while I scream.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ok. thanks. done.

All better now.

a change.

This morning I did my normal morning ritual.

I woke up.

I snoozed my alarm.

I turned off my alarm.

I slept for another half an hour.

I went to the loo.

I had a shower.

I ate breakfast.

I did my makeup.

I decided what to wear.

Then I started doing my hair.

And I decided that I did not like it.

It was too long and scraggly and blah.

I had not been cut in months and it was showing it.

So I decided to get it cut.

And not just cut, but completely changed.

So I rang up the hairdresser at 9am.

I had an appointment at 4.30pm.

And at 5.30pm, I looked like this....!!

That my friends, is a bob. And it is rather short! Fun times ahead!

Apparently the idea was to dress up, but I just came straight from work

Guess I missed the memo. When there is a halloween dance, one is meant to dress up in something weird, or scary, or abnormal. Something different from what one normally wears. I however, did not know this, and I just went to the dance straight from the lab...oops. How embarrassing!!

NERD!

Hahahaha ULTIMATE nerd - check out the goofy nerd face! And the stockings!

Jaz, my fellow nerd.

ha ha ha ha ha!

"Guys, I can't dance. I have to study! Study is all I do!"

There were a few lone heads floating around that I thought about possibly doing some research on them. If only I had my dissecting tools with me I could have dissected out their brains...

A holiday?

I could really use a holiday right about now.

One of these would even be nice...

...relaxed, stress free, sunshine...

Even though that is not really me...



Really, I'd prefer a holiday like this...

...this is more me!


Science is eating up my life.

In fact, I don't really think I have a life.

And it is going to get worse before it gets better.

I am hanging out for Christmas and the week following, for a bit of this...

...and a bit of this...

..and some of this!

Please hurry, December 22nd and onwards.

But also don't.

Because I have far too much work to do between now and then.

Find a Husband?

...even family search is telling me to find a husband!!

Sheesh! Can't a girl get a break?!?!

Spring + Saturdays + Snow = Super fun times!

On thursday night, the 16th of september, a good couple of weeks in to spring, it snowed big time up on top of Mount wellington. On the friday morning, the mountain looked amazing, and so Lucy, Claire and myself decided that a mountain adventure was required the following day. Saturday morning comes and we head up the mountain, with hopes that we might get to the top. Alas, the rangers do not let cars drive past the springs. We park and hop out to start out snowy adventure by foot. We start heading up the pinnacle track, chatting away, stopping to take photos and play in the snow. And this is what happened...

I played with my camera a little because the snow looked awesome.

Pretty!

We hijacked a little kids snowman, which even had a carrot nose!

And yes, we waited until the family had left their snowman alone before hijacking it.

Lucy made her very own little snow man, complete with twig arms and a leaf toupee!

Claire was silly for the camera...

..the snow looked pretty..

Lucy declared her love for me with snow..

I wore my awesome gumboots, and Claire showed the world her crazy stripy thermals and socks!

...we took self timer photos...and I fell down a hole running back to get in the photo!

..And we played with the self timer again...

..and on the way back down the mountain to the car we came across two GIANT snowballs, so obviously had to pose with them!!

All in all it was a succesful Mt Wellington snowy adventure. And to top it off when we got down the mountain we went to the food store, in South Hobart for a DELICIOUS lunch!!!

I have a 4 year old nephew

I will start off by apologising for the massive amount of photos in this blog. I just love these three kiddies so much that when I get to see them, I get a little snap happy, because I have to take enough photos to last me until the next time I get to see them.

Ethan had his FOURTH (where the hell have 4 years gone??) birthday on September 11. I went over the Melbourne for his Toy Story themed gathering. This is how Ethy (and Asher and Tessa) spent his fourth birthday...
