Rebecca Jones's Diary - Spinster and Lunatic

So I had a great Australis Day yesterday.

Started with the 10,000 Steps Walk which was actually 2,700 steps dawdle. Was an ok walk... just a bit slow. We finished it pretty quick withing the top 30 (out of a couple of hundred) but it was good to get out.

After that and getting home, I started to get ready to go to Nyssa's for her Australia Day BBQ. I arrived there about 11.30ish armed with my carton of Bundy and Drys, honey and rosemary lamb kebab sticks and almost 15ltrs of water.
Started off with all good intentions to get though at least HALF of my 24 cans, but them mixed with 'Death Punch' and a few mouthfuls of the 'King Cup' I only drank 7!! HAHA.
Oh and keep in mind I left about 7pm and was in bed for 9pm. I'd had my fill though!

Today at work was unbelievably dead! I made the most of it though getting as many sales as I could. I will be 1st for the month.

Oh and dinner just now was delicious! Ive never made couscous before and I didnt measure the water properly but it turned out perfect! I was very pleased! There is plenty left over for me for dinner tomorrow night :D

Oh Zeke seems to have a bit of a rash about his hind legs... better keep an eye on that over the next few days.

Nice enough day off.

Woke up about 8am and started about my day.

Found out the dishwasher hose or something leaked out ALL the water under the kitchen cupboards and into my room. The carpet is all soaked and this has then soaked into my suitcase of clothes, laptop backpack and into the base of my drawers.
This will start to smell in the next day or so. Im pretty pissed about it. As I was told - accidents happen - but still...

Went to Indro about 10.30 and had a quick catch up with Karen at HNs.
Went about the shops and got my anklet refixed (the latch broke last week and I got it fixed at Prouds, then at aqua the other night a joining link broke so I got that fixed a second time for free). I went to Target and bought some 3/4 pants for tomorrow for only $17. I looked at new swim tops but no joy.

Caught the train to Nyssa's, picked up some lamb for tomorrow (currently marinating in rosemary and honey). Helped format Nyssa's PC and watched about 5 episodes of The Hills (as well as other varios MTV/Foxtel shows)

Nikki picked me up about 6pm and we went to get Subway.

Tomorrow is the 10,000 Walk in the morning and then Nyssa's for BBQ, Hottest 100 and drinks all arvo/night.

Things to do tonite:
1) Shave legs
2) Charge camera
3) Skewer meat
4) wash clothes.

I am totally tired from work... but securing my place as number one for the second month running totally makes up for it.

I had a few positives today though.
+ Rugby season passes finally got deducted from my account today
+ I got my Irish tax today
+ I got Fantasy Solid Perfume compact today
+ Ordered 5 new perfumes from www.perfume.com.au using a gift voucher.
+ GOT MY LAPTOP BACK

Story about my laptop though. Its been back TWO days but the tech guy at work thought it would be funny to not tell me. Literally. Thats what he said. Funny. Wanker.
Im suspecting he's the one hiding my workshirts in bags and boxes and ontop of shelves in the staffroom.
Im learning not to retaliate to them... just fix/get my stuff and move on... otherwise they keep doing it.

I didnt walk home tonite. Mainly cause my bag was so heavy and also I didnt get time to take any pain killers before I finished work so my knees were in pure agony.
I met my brotherin-law, Chris, at the bottleshop where I bought a carton of Dark & Stormy tinnies for Saturday. :D

I have two days off now. I need a major sleep-in tomorrow :(

SO I bought:

Fantasy (w) 100ml EDP Spray $48.95
Green Tea (w) 100ml Spray $19.95
Surfume Frangipani (u) 50ml Perfume Oil $32.95
Pinacolada Surfume (u) 50ml Perfume Oil $32.95
Cool Water (w) TESTER 100ml EDT Spray $39.00

The tester is unused as well! Score!

On Saturday morning Im doing the 10,000 Steps Walk from The Gardens all around the river and ending up somehow at Southbank. Anyone want to join Nikki and I?

Oh what should I drink on Australia Day?
Im thinking Bundy and Dry... cause Bundy and Coke all day is just a bit too much!
