Floraish

It’s almost the end of the year. Here are some things I have done since last posting:

• Organised an OCAU BBQ

Well so I did! It was a hot day, but it was awesome. So very awesome! Jo came, my brother came, and Steve came too! I think all up, about 25 people showed up, with a few pikers here and there. It was the best. I didn’t cook either, but I did do lots of other running around and stressful shit, I felt that I didn’t need to.

• Toned and slimmed

Well gym is going great. Except now since it’s a small gym, they’ve closed for the Christmas period beginning yesterday!!! WHAT?! Where will I burn my calories now?! Actually, doing yard work and stuff is pretty crazy, more below.

• Become somewhat of a horticulturalist

Only somewhat. I bought a whole bunch of the prettiest flowers the other week from Bunnings and it took me about 2 days to prep the soil before I planted them. It’s NOT as easy as it looks. I have a couple of strawberry plants, a capsicum plant, some roses and a few other cool things (which the name escapes me) to look after. Hopefully pics to come, but since my dad broke my camera when he went to Mackay a few months back, don’t hold your breath.

Also we bought a new lawnmower which has height adjustment, which I swear to god is the best thing since sliced bread, so I’ve been doing weekly lawn maintenance. I fully think the old people across the street are jelly as.

• Started Summer Semester

And I hate it. I really do. If not for the fact that it was shaving a whole semester off my life next year, then I wouldn’t bother. Finding it hard to be motivated now when all my uni friends have graduated and I haven’t. Actually, it’s about time Greg graduated (4 years) but Megan and Aaron are in my cohort, and left without me

• Kicked arse at my job

Well yes, I have. I’m good. I know it. You know it. My boss knows it.

• Joined a Lion Dance team

Only as a support member, well, more like unofficial secretary of the club. Which is cool. I like it. I did a whole mailing campaign the other week for promotion, and it caught a few bites, which is cool.

• Signed up for an Annual Pass @ Wet’n'wild

Lex has one too. It’s gonna be AWESOME! We already went on Friday which is cool, they have a new ride there called the Kamikaze, which is not as frightening as it sounds, but mega fucking cool!!

• Enjoyed Sunnybank Sunday traditions

Well every Sunday, at some point of the day, I have been to Sunnybank for food. Steve and I started it in a bid for him to try new things. It was awesome and we soon discovered we really liked a couple of places in particular; Hot & Sour (aka Shanghai Restaurant) and Coffee Square (which isn’t a coffee shop as it’s name would suggest). Anyways, we always alternate between those two, but I think tonight we will be going to Coffee Square as we went to Hot & Sour the last 3 times in a row. Oh and we always get the same things too :blush:

Well that’s about it for now, I’m off for a swim
