Got back from Sydney on Thursday night... worked in the Church Op Shop yesterday (pretty cool -you meet quite a few interesting people) and crashed yesterday arvo (not feeling great, but caught up on some sleep!).

During this past week I had a lot of time to think, and talk to friends (one poor lass I even was ear-bashing with into the wee small hours... on a school night!). In recent months I have come to the conclusion that I am a lot more complex than I have always thought. This was mentioned to me by someone who I had known less than six months. Is it that I want too much out of life (and my friends and family for that matter)? Or is it that I want too little (I think it may be the former).

So what doI want out of life? And when I get it, what will I want then? I somehow think that I am a "half-empty" kind of person... or should I just throw out my Adrian Mole inspired persona?

People are funny... These days we are too eager to give out our 3 contact numbers, 2 email addresses and our website (if we are lucky to have one) to virtual strangers, yet we have laws protecting our privacy and people even suing others over the most minor breaches of it. Why do I mention this?

Well it started about a month ago. I was in 'Word' Bookstore in God's Land (GL hereafter) (Sutherland Shire) and a lady customer at the counter gave her name so the assistant could look her up on the loyalty programme. She was a teacher of mine from School (some 11 years ago). We started chatting and then she had to go, but exchanged email addresses. I only emailed her today...

Secondly, I was on the schoolfriends.com.au website and saw that a girl I went to school with in Kindy was on there, and now lives overseas. I emailed her yesterday, and got a response today. She remembered that our Birthdays were a day apart... we actually nearly tore each other's hair out at Brownies nearly 20 years ago... but I now have a potential email buddy....

Maybe it's just me... but people are funny....

Just doing 'bits & pieces' today. Going to Sydney on Friday for a few days - mixing business with pleasure. Unfortunately Ian is left at home on his own over the weekend. He assures me that he can survive, and I know he can. He was the one who taught me to cook and do domestic stuff....

Thank goodness the weather is a little cooler today! As a result of yesterday's heat I have ended up with swollen feet - I look like a Hobbit that's been waxed!

Ian seems to have forgiven me over the freezer door incident. I have never been terribly well co-ordinated. I have broken two toes in my lifetime due to unco-ness...

Tonight's Viewing: Looking forward to the 2nd last episode in this series of 'MIT' (Murder Investigation Team), followed by 'Teachers'... I really couldn't live without the ABC.... I hope that The Bill goes back to twice a week...this once a week is NOT natural!

I BROKE THE FRIDGE!!!! I was just unpacking my groceries and had the freezer door open above my head (which was in the fridge) - lifted my head up and shouldered out the freezer door. I was laughing purely from shock, but Ian (hubby) didn't find it funny.... he just went to the shed and got out the tool kit and fixed the fridge...

Yes, I am nuts!

I have finally taken the plunge - a blog of my very own!!!! Thanks to my original inspiration - dave...
