Any Brisbane female friends want to do this?

Even though I'll have to start work at 10am Im sure I can fit a 5km run/walk in beforehand :D

Oh guys that want to dress in a wig and skirt are more than welcome :D

So a lots been happening and not a lot at the same time.

Went to the Rugby last night to see a warm-up match of the Qld Reds V Auckland Blues. Auckland scored in the last 30secs and managed to win the game from that. There were SO MANY good looking fellas at the game! Mmm mmm. I went with Cameron (brother) and his mate Matt and Matts girlfriend, Cherie.
We got our supporters packs which had calenders, shirts and vouchers for programs each game. I also bought a Reds cap and lanyards for my members cards. The chicks merchandise is pretty awesome so I'll probably buy a polo next game (15th Feb)

I did come first for the month in BOTH turn over AND profit. I rock! Sacha keeps asking me questions and making statements that he has a feeling Im leaving him again. Ive told him I have no plans to leave him again until the end of the year or he moves on... which ever happens first.

I made my orthodontic and wisdom tooth appointments for Wednesday, only to discover that Im working Wednesday. So I had to reschedual! Uh-ohhh! So now my ortho appointment is for the 15th Feb... and get this... my wisdoms tooth one... 25th March!! thats AGES away! Sheesh!

This evening I booked my next holiday. 17th - 27th May in New Zealand. I have several friends over there now including Nana Shirley so I can try to see them all! $420 return... not too shabby. I figured that since I am committing to my wisdoms... and while I have this money now... I may as well book something so I definately do it. Now I have an ultimate goal time to lose weight!

Oh speaking of that... 4kgs in 3 weeks. Weigh in on Tuesday at work... that'll be the 4 week mark. I've managed not to take any pain killers today at all for my knees... they're feeling a stack better :)
Tomorrow night though there is the threat it can all come undone. We're being taken out for dinner by a supplier and there is a $2000 tab (food and alcohol). We've all picked out courses during the week and we've all gone hard on the food! Im getting a dozen oysters for entree and braised lamb shanks as a main. Im drooling already at the thought of it!

Im absolutely wrecked from Aqua.
Was meant to go to the doctors this arvo... well I made it there... but their incompetance meant I didnt actually get to see the doctor. I called them names and left after sitting there for 45min. Wankers.
Two more days then the weekend off.

Tomorrow night is Rugby at Ballymore.
I better go to bed... I have an 8am meeting.

I really am enjoying my walk homes.
I especially like weekend ones cause its still so sunny and hot... I got quite a tan today!
Nikki, Chris and Cobey passed me at Milton on their bikes. I walked another 20min or so to Towong and caught the bus to Indooropilly/Kenmore - to only see Nikki, Chris and Cobes again!
Then I walked another 20min or so home and they beat me by only 10min all up! Ha!

Work all this week.
Saturday night coming Logitech is taking us out to dinner. The Tab is quite hefty. and we've all gone to town on the menu! Ive ordered a dozen oysters kilpatrick for entree, braised lamb shanks for mains and a trio of dips for the sides. Can't wait! Ive been really careful with my eating all week so far so I'll deserve it!

What else?
I should get my perfumes tomorrow. Oh and my Qld Reds Rugby membership!

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.

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!

So only two kgs over the fortnight.
I know thats the healthy way to do it but I was expecting more. Oh well... Better luck next fortnight.
Everyone lost between 1-3kgs... one guy even lost 7kgs! But he is 144kg to start with.

My knees felt better on the way home... I took a couple of Ibuprofens at 5ish pm and they'd kicked in by 5.45 so I was floating!
I still had to remember to take it slower. Make my knees better.
Its really dejecting though when at 6.15pm Im still a whole suburb from where I should be on Coro Drive. The Toowong ferry looks so far away... and I just want to race people but I have to make the concious effort not to.
Its surprising how dissapointed I am that I cant excercise properly and its only been a fortnight!

Seems I might look into braces still in Australia.
I have a good good customer who is a cosmetic dentist (veneers etc) who has refered me to a few specialists and mates in the field. Just by mentioning his name will sort me out a fair bit. Im going to look into it. Even to just get my wisdoms out soon. Infact, talluleh, Clive is an old colledge buddy of Roland Hammond and thats who he has recommended!

Well Im all fine.

Well not entirely... Ive damaged my knees trying ("trying") to jog certain parts along Coro Drive. As a result... my knees now feel constantly sprained and walking faster then a dawdle is agony :( woe is me.

Today I served Michael Voss at work (ex Brisbane Lions captain). He is savage hot and very buff and very good looking. Mmm mmmm.

Official weigh in tomorrow for our work Biggest Loser competition. Im betting Ive done better than half of them :)

So yesterday was a lazy day.
Nikki has Wednesday off so we decided to get a few shopping items out of the way in the morning - including dog bones and lunch.
Chris had the day off work sick so he looked after Cobey for a change while we went out for a couple of hours.

In the evening Nikki and I walked down to the swimming pool where we do aquaerobics. We wore cotton socks in the pool this time (recommended so you dont slip on the tiles in the pool) and we both felt like we did a lot better exercise! So then really walking down was a crazy idea cause we were buggered for the walk home!

Today I plan to clean this sty of a house, finish my washing then lie in bed and catch up on Dexter and Heroes.
Tonite I have a staff meeting at 5:30. Eugh.

So tonite Nikki and I did Aquaerobics at the local training pool place :D

It was great fun and I splashed her a fair bit... We were practically the youngest ones there by about 30 years!
Gotta remember to take socks to wear in mext time! Our feet slip on the bottom :|

So last night I went to a Microsoft Vista training thing. It was followed by a movie but I didnt stick around for that.
I tell ya though... the people I now work with are just so YOUNG and stupid and loud and obnoxious in public... AUGH! They were just embarassing to be near... I tried to distance myself as much I could.
Oh and when I got up to work just before closing time, one of the girls says to me...
Megan: You know that guy you spoke to about the MP3 player.
Me: Oh yeah he wanted the K3 so he could plug it into power and run waiting music off it?
Megan: Yeah that one, he came back in for it today
Me: Cool! Thanks
Megan: Oh no... I didnt put it under your number... you didnt have it on hold for him
Me: Are you being serious?
Megan: Yes.

This attitude is very very bad for her. Very unfortunate if thats the way she operates herself. I had a quick word with the Floor Manager to see if that was the way things are and he said absolutely not... I tell ya... Im not a good salesperson for nothing...

Today I did sweet F.A. all day. When Nikki got home we went down to Woolies and bought kangaroo steaks and chips and thats what we had for dinner. Nikki absolutely loved it! It was delicious!

Just got in from taking Zeke for a walk/jog/sprint. Im absolutely wrecked! It normally takes about 30min when I have Nikki, Chris, Cobey and Jam lagging but today it only took 20min cause it was just Zeke and I... I better shower... or tomorrow.

I think thats all :)

Another day another thunder storm...

Zeke is currently cowering in the corner of my room... *bless*

Been walking him at night... a nice quick varied 30min walk around the 'estate'. I run up one incline... Id say its about 45degrees... I get just over half way up so I am aiming to get all the way up in one go... then there is another down and uphill bit I can jog and then the final bit I sprint... lets see if I can keep this up!

Eww... I forgot Zeke farts when he's scared from the thunder!

Tonite I have Microsoft product training which includes a movie :)
