I was a little behind yesterday in everything. Truth was I so tired I felt drunk; I was not however drunk but I do have a tendency to say things like I was or were. And typically when I’m tired drunk I say and do things that I wouldn’t normally say or do. For instance I apparently promised my children a surprise of some sort from Sydney town. Like I had the time to tramp into town; after attending two fairs, each 40 minutes apart to fossick through Myers or some other over priced Sydney store? Why would I do that? Tired Drunk.
Then my husband tells me I also promised him a little something? He rattled off that I promised him something as repayment for his renewing my Qantas club membership? Ah no that’s just called loving your wife so she doesn’t hyperventilate in the cleanest corner she could find and I don’t recall promising any such surprise but you know close your eyes and get on with it. In terms of surprises men are usually easily fixed.
The kids they are not so easily fixed but I did my best and qued for Krispy Crèmes for what seemed like hours and then the carted them round Sydney’s over crowded T2 and then into a jam packed Jetstar flight however my inconvenience was obviously was not enough for my cherubs as they woke me extra early yesterday morning to ask where their presents where slightly disgusted despite the fact that the worlds best doughnuts where sitting waiting for them on the kitchen bench. My present to you I said to B1 trying to make it sound equally exciting as it was not is I’m going to let you have a doughnut for breakfast. It didn’t cut the mustard.
Oh well.
So these things are what ran through my head last week, yesterday and today and are as varied as the sites I saw over the weekend.; this my few things for Feb 26th 2013.
1. My trip to Sydney was super quick so I decided to stay at one of the airport hotels. I stayed at the Mercure Airport. It is undergoing refurbishment but the staffs were sensational, breakfast was fantastic, the rooms were lovely and it had a pillow menu need I say more. It was perfect for a quick trip. Need a room and location is not an issue head there. True a pillow menu and bacon sandwiches are all good reasons to flock there
2. It was wonderful to see that buyers and wholesalers are seeing the value in vintage and re purposed furniture. A thing with a story and a heritance value is much nicer to have in your home. Thank goodness is all I can say.
3. The fashions of the fair are one of my favourite parts apart from the shopping. From a girl in boots with her dressed hoiked up in her knickers to a girl in heels so high it’s a wonder she didn’t have a bloody nose.
4. I loved my trip to the city as quick as it was right up until I was asked for change by a heavily pregnant girl. Who was clearly a girl and who was clearly off her tree on something? I said no I’m sorry and she went about her business of picking up cigarette butts and talking to herself. It was then reality dawned on me then that feeling of WTF is wrong with you girl can’t you see and now all I can think of is that baby and just hope and pray like hell that she the mother wakes up or she finds someone who can help her too.
5. My husband leaves for the gold coast for his brother’s buck’s week today. They wanted to go somewhere and do something rather than piddle it up a wall in a 12 hour period. I am so pleased to see them go together. It’s what I have wanted my husband and his brothers to do for years. However GC don’t say I didn’t warn you they will be the ones wearing their best pluggers and Jackie how singlets..All for your comedic viewing pleasure. Im so happy for him right now.
6. I have a baby home sick with me today. Fever and headaches. This B baby never gets sick so I’m bracing for something flu like.
7. A really piece of useless knowledge well for some it may not be useless but in North Korea women can only wear 18 different styles of haircuts. Only haircuts sanctioned by the government can be worn. Number 12 please? Head here for a look see. I can not see a mullet do there at all..
8. Were you a teenage girl of the 90’s? I was head here for a few reminders of what was cool back then..
9. So the latest beauty treatment is to set fire to yourself..well not you..you pay someone to do it. Of course it originates in China those crazy little cats and has been around since the Qing dynasty. It’s meant to help re-channel and aid in healing and is also touted as having rejuvenating qualities and has been used to treat over 100 ailments. I think..I could be wrong; I’m still reeling from the idea you allow someone to set you on fire and it can be applied any where including the cervix. Yes that’s right. However there are ten taboo’s and should you be among them then this little treatment is not for you; Cloudy sky and raining, pregnant women, cancer, mind confused, heart disease, severe diabetes, renal insufficiency, high blood pressure (systolic 170+), skin disease, or menstruation. Head here for more details if you really want to.
10. Want to mix up your craft session then head here..Please be warned this is not your average sharpener and don’t ask me how I found it..It’s just my job to share these things..
So tell me my sweets what are you up to today? Beauty treatment or two? Or perhaps you’re in the market for a new sharpener.
