Tuesday

Sheesh my blog is becoming rather happy isn't it, this blogpost (which I started yesterday but didn't finish) was titled "irritability".

Ah well... it's supposed to reflect my mood and I guess it does.

Anyway, a thought for the day:

19 February 2008 - Thought for the day

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.

(Dave Tyson Gentry)


G and I can often have quiet moments together ♥

At the moment, I'm bored at work. HBBM is away, back on Friday. I have no work - he hasn't left me any... so I'm going to have to move my butt and go looking for stuff to do upstairs - filing, etc. YAY. I hate it. I'm so bored I'd rather be at home cos there's so much to do.

I'm so excited about so many things. Our wedding, for one. G's mom made an invitation for us, it's so beautiful! We have to decide on a font to use in it and on the menu/tablecard things, and also the right wording for it. But it's so beautiful! We have to yay/nay certain things about it, but all in all it's spot on for now!

Thursday we're meeting with the minister guy. Hopefully this weekend we have nothing on, so we can relax and do our own, fun, relaxing things. Maybe go out somewhere. I want to practise my driving - take G's car out for a slow gentle "spin" hehe.

We've still got to contact people with regards to the decor and flowers, hopefully if we have a quiet weekend we can sit down and take stock of what all we have to do for the wedding preparations... we haven't really thought of it in much detail cos things have been so busy. I just hope G isn't too tired, as this week is apparently going to be/is being a biatch! I hope things settle down a little bit enough for us to sort out the things on our "to do" list on the fridge, first, before any wedding plans hehe. So much hanging around waiting to be done and it's small things, just that they've been hanging on for months hehe. Not annoying as individual things, just that it's silly that they're still around.

I'm still so pissed off at the pest control company. We've put Borax down, but what the hell are we supposed to do about the washmachine? We can't spray inside it, I don't know what powder would do to it... I am SO SICK OF COCKROACHES!

My fish are beautiful. I have been reminded about the fact because I cleaned the fishtank on Sunday. Every time, it gets dirty and it loses its appeal, and then I bring myself to clean it, and I'm amazed every time and my wonder and excitement about the tank is renewed. They really are beautiful. When we are in Aus and I set up a new tank, I think I will get silver hatchetfish instead of congo tetras. Congos are nice, but they're far more vigorous than the other tetras I have. It's ended up in 2 of my marbled hatchetfish and a neon being eaten (plus 2 other neons etc who disappeared ages ago and I never found - maybe eaten as well?). I doubt silver hatchetfish would be able to eat anyone else in the tank! Hatchetfish are SO adorable, I am really stuck on them. My favourites though are glowlight tetras. A simple fish but so sweet looking and easy to keep and despite the ease of maintenance, beautiful all the same. Neons are pretty too but a little... silly. They eat far too much and look as if they're about to explode. It's not that I'm overfeeding the fish, just that I have to put in enough for EVERYone and the neons tend to gulp more food than anyone else!

Heremia is coming along gorgeously! I must take a photo and put it up here soon. I want to stitch tonight, so maybe then. She's filling up quite well - her neck is more filled in and she's getting quite a nice bit of mane. Too exciting!

My driving lessons are coming along well... no lesson this coming Saturday, so that leaves me with 11 lessons left. Eeek, I hope it works out! I don't want to have to rebook a test and do more lessons... HOLD THUMBS!

These are going to be really busy 2 years. The wedding plans and arrangements will take up most of this year, December will be back at work and Xmas holidays. Then next year, we are going to be focussing on the move. Getting in touch with migration agents/sorting out things ourselves, sorting out stuff getting ready to move... all that jazz. It'll be a really busy year next year. I think I might have to leave work in the middle of the year or so, to be able to spend time getting things ready. Hopefully I'll have my driver's licence and will be able to drive around organising things/going to fetch paperwork etc... we'll see. I know for one thing we'll have to get everything ready during next year in order to be ready to leave ASAP when G's commitment here ends. I can't wait. To be finished work here, and to get things going in preparation! YAY!!! EEK!!!

G got a lot of new PC games a coupla days ago. So now we have lots of games to play! Sam and Max Hit the Road, another Sam and Max, The Orange Box, Gears of War, Crysis, umm.... Quake 4... um... things like that. I want to play Sam and Max. And I want to carry on playing NFS Carbon: Own the City on the PSP... heeheehee that's so fun and OMG so addictive! Want to get back into Locoroco too, I'm about 6/10 of the way through (I think). Then we have the other PSP games... and of course I have 4 X-stitch designs to do.. Heremia excluded! Too many fun things to do, too little fun time available! Nevermind going out and about... going to the seaside, going out into the country, going out for supper, etc etc etc... *sigh*!!!!!

*sigh*... that XY problem isn't resolved. I haven't heard much, but that doesn't mean anything. I still don't know what to do. And it really affects how I feel about things regarding our wedding... how will I be able to seriously be happy that they're there? Like, gee "thanks for coming guys :)" when I'm like... pretending? I can't do shit like that. Faking things... I can't PRETEND to like something or be happy about something. Going to A+C's wedding, and they had speeches and things and I was thinking... how sincerely will I be able to accept a speech like that...? I don't know. "Thanks for (hardly) enthusing, right from the start, so glad you could come..."? That's how I feel right now.

Anyway, let me post this and go make some tea - I need a bit of warm soothing about now...

On another note: I got 2 CDs yesterday - the last Cardigans album (now I have them all! YAYYYYYY) and a Junior Senior album "Hey Hey My My Yo Yo". I'm so enjoying the Junior Senior CD so much! It's endless happy cheerful music, without being crappy fake unoriginal junky music. Love it! So much! I have to update my ipod now, put all my new music on it, take off the older stuff I don't listen to... ! So exciting!!

Ok teatime now!
