Awwwww isnt it lovely ...
Wellp its official, I’m finally engaged. In a few years I'll be Mrs Borg :D I’m glad because I wont have to change my initials.
I have however decided to elope, its amazing the grief and engagement party can cause for an unsuspecting couple who just want to keep things simple. If you too are thinking about having a small get together for your engagement - word of advice - DONT DO IT!!!! Well at least dont do it if you have Maltese relos, cos dude, it Aint gonna happen.
No matter how many "talk to the hand gfs" you wish upon them it doesn’t work. *sigh* trust me.
Nonetheless, I have decided to stop beating my head against the proverbial brick wall that is the engagement party steering committee and say FLUCKER IT! Im determinded that my future hubby & I are going to enjoy our party no matter what. I figure I'll spike the punch get the mother-in-law drunk, this will allow me then to sit back and enjoy the show. In the immortal words of Mamma Borg - "Two words you know, Business is farkin Business" *ROFL* god that woman cracks me up.
So if you're in the area on Saturday why not pop around and enjoy the show. I figure she should be letting it rip around 9.30pm onwards, depending on how much BBQ she has. ... throw another shrimp on the barbie mate....
mmmm bugger the shrimp, give me some kangaroo .... "what's that skip? you need some more marinade on your tail?"

Revenge of the evil biscuit
Hokay... so im chowing down on a malt biscuit today for morning tea... nothing unusual about that, right? So I finish my yummy biccie and pick up the phone to call this chick about something (a chick who is high on the corp. food chain). next thing you know I'm coughing my lungs up, I cant talk and everyone is lookin at me turning into a spastic. why you might ask. Revenge of the evil biscuits inc. A crumb had made its way into my airways. You know like if you drink water funny and nearly choke. My boss had to come over and pat me on the back and get me some water. How embarrassment. No more biscuits for me. Im boycotting the evil biscuit inc. company. they can go to hell & die.
The end.

ok ok ... so Im a slack arsed biatch for not posting more. Apologies, I promise I wont do it again, just please dont beat me. *chopper thinks that you're a big bully*
So its a lovely overcast & raining sunday morning in melbourne. Im just about to go and make some scrummy french toast for breakfast. Ive been playing with chopper for most of the morning. he's such a sweetheart, he was whistling along to Rammstein before. Im so proud. *wipes tear from eye*
hmmm so whats the latest news, goss & scandle you might ask? Well in my little boring world we had a team building trivia night for work, and our team won so I scored two gold class tix & a bottle of bubbly - which is always welcomed. Friday night was a girls nice out. Free drinks @ the bar @ work, followed by a fantastic dinner in china town. As always we have a hoot together, didnt help of course that it was bucketing down rain & blowing a gail. life is always interesting in melbourne.
So ..that leaves last night. We ended up going out with our good friends Michael & Nadia, started off by having some drinks & gossiping a tad before going out to Cha Chi's Restaurant. Mmmm mexican. I should be a food & move critic with the amt of time I spend in cinemas & restaurants.
Today, the plan is to spend time with Daniels mum as it was her bifday on friday. And we're going to see Kill Bill 2 this afternoon....yehaw. should be a right hoot.
Anyhow Im hungry. so im off to make french toasties. sorry for the crappy post but sometimes you just cant be arsed. if you want all the latest news - read this
Caio.

Just another lazy sunday afternoon....
Dont you just love it when the weather is changing from summer/autum/winter. (i know its a weird combo but I live in melbourne so we get 4 seasons in one day). What Im trying to say is when it goes from warm to alot cooler. To when you wake up on sunday morning and looking at the shocking day outside decide to stay that little bit longer in bed. Im lucky enough to be able to roll over & snuggle up to my extremely gorgeous bf :)
The only problem I have with cold weather is adjusting to it. To remember to air out the extra doona so I dont freeze at night. To wear an extra warm jumper before going outside to freeze my tits off. But once you get into the swing of things its - hello winter! my friend :)
I know! i know! you think I am mad, however, there is method in my madness. As winter allows chicks to wear nice comfy snugglying clothing :D.
I am a big comfort person, so these little summery tops that chicks wear dont really appeal to me. I mean seriously, I blow my nose with more material than what they wear these days. *tut tut* bah so Im old. sue me :P
anyhow, I've had my daily gripe/vent. today was quite mellow as Im half asleep, might go and snuggle in bed and watch another DVD :)

life goes on...and on and on and on
Me thinks I've hit of the proverbial speed bump of life, or maybe its a whole road full of speed bumps. anyone got a map? As I wanna find a way off this crappy road. I know I know... what doesnt kill me will make me stronger. But sometimes you just want that bit of reassurance that life really isnt all that bad and some things are going your way. And that you should continue being a nice person and not a total biatch. *insert violin music here* I know Im being pathetic.
bah ... better out than in.

Wellp its that time of year again, another year dumber or wiser which ever way you'd like to look at it.
I've been on the net now for over 10yrs (yes ok I know Im OLD :P) and it never seems to amaze me how many absolutely useless things there are.
I went to google typed in "interesting facts 13th April" and lookie what I got :)
Answer according to this site my birfthday makes me a maple tree... which could be worse.
Apparently this is me:
Maple, Independence of Mind. No ordinary person, full imagination and originality, shy and reserved, ambitious, proud, self-respect, hungers for new experiences, sometimes nervous, many complexes, good memory, learns easily, complicated love life, wants to impress.
For starters my memory is pretty shabby so me thinks this is a pile of do-do's, but each to their own.
heh .. ok ... I found this too ... mmm vodka *hiccup*
- To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.
- To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger- spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.
- To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
- Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
- Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry. (mmm tasty)
- Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
- Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
- Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
- Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziplock freezer bag, and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain, or black eyes.
- Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.
- Make your own mouthwash by mixing nine tablespoons powdered cinnamon with one cup vodka. Seal in an airtight container for two weeks. Strain through a coffee filter. Mix with warm water and rinse your mouth. Don't swallow.
- Using a q-tip, apply vodka to a cold sore to help it dry out.
- If a blister opens, pour vodka over the raw skin as a local anesthetic that also disinfects the exposed dermis.
- To treat dandruff, mix one cup vodka with two teaspoons crushed rosemary, let sit for two days, strain through a coffee filter and massage into your scalp and let dry.
- To treat an earache put a few drops of vodka in your ear. Let set for a few minutes. Then drain. The vodka will kill the bacteria that is causing pain in your ear.
- To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
- To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
Or here's a better idea, mix half orange juice, half pineapple juice, a smidge of raspberry cordial, & a smidge of lemonade. Then add as much vodka as you like and stir. Congrats as you've just make yourself a delicious shirley temple-a-la-bodil :)

One fantastic thing about working for a mob who makes beer is going to the brewery.
I got to go to Abbotsford Brewery today, home of the legendary Victoria Bitter.
The smell is fantastic, its not a beer kinda smell just a malty biscuit kinda smell.. weird.. anyway take my word for it.
I got to go onto the actual B2 line, whereas on the brewery tour you only get to stand on a platform and look down.
We have two assembly lines? if you can call them that. (The B1 & B2 lines) each line produces 600 bottles of beer per minute. Thats bring in the bottle, clean, dry it, fill it, and cap it. pretty amazing stuff.
One thing is for sure, even though the brewery is in the heart of the city it is spread out alot. I walked my little footsies off today!
I had to laugh though, we went to the Cafeteria to get some morning tea and Slade asked the lady for a small bag of chips. She grabbed this huge arse bag and started filling it. and then charged him only $1.40 - bargain! Im like holy crap if thats a small bag what a big one - he pointed to this bag which was big enough to be a shopping bag. Im like no way. So the brewery blokes eat like horses. the secret is out.
Lucky me, as I get to re-live the whole experience again tomorrow. Wanna beer mate? ;)
