WAS SLEEPING SOUNDLY UNTIL ............

Early to bed last night as I wanted to rise early so I could wash my hair (it takes me about an hour and a half to dry and straighten my hair). I was having a sound sleep until I heard the phone, looked at the time, 10.00pm. It was my neighbour (name withheld) 4 houses down, "are you sleeping"? - WELL YEAH! - "I want to know about the routine steps we did in aerobic step classes the other night"? - WTF - you are asking me, when you know I have no idea at all as I am so confused with steps as it is, your talking to the wrong person. After phone conversation it took me ages to get back to sleep. Did I get up early as planned? Not as early as I wanted.

This will be me at work by lunch time!

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Thought it was time to change the colour of my blog but kept same template layout. Not sure how long I will keep this before I change back to black?

Don't have many choices to pick from "pick a new template".

SINGER I'M NOT, THOUGH WILLING TO LEARN

Singing Classes started on Monday night, me I will give anything a try, can't sing but always wanted to learn so thought here's my chance. The first thing I said to the teacher "I hope we don't have to sing on our own in front of everyone, as I am too shy" and he assured me no. There were 5 in the class and he had asked each and everyone one of us if we had ever sung before, I told him "I had plenty singing experience in the shower and in the car"!

My fear had just become a reality, we had to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb ON OUR OWN (he tricked me) as wanted to hear what our voices were like. I shot up my hand to be the first as I wanted to get it over and done with. We practiced singing two songs Your The Voice by John Farnhman and Tainted Love (have no idea who sings that), could not of picked two harder songs. In the song Tainted Love, there are words in the chorus - touch me baby, touch me, nothing wrong with that but I thought to myself that's a bit rough especially as we had Sr. Annette from the Catholic church in our class and every time we sang the chorus all I could think was I wonder what Sr. Annette is thinking!

Watch out Battle of the Choirs!

Watch out karaoke bars in Bali!

BURGLAR'S!

Early Saturday morning I woke about 2.30am, I could hear noises out side my house and security lights were on. Sat upright in my bed petrified for 10 miniutes thinking what should I do? Call the Cops? No, as knowing my luck it would of been diverted to Kalgoorlie (last time that happened I thought someone was in my back yard, rang the cops and got through to Kal and she told me "to ring back if I was worried" - that's why I rang the cop shop as I was WORRIED - I told her "I could be raped or murdered in that time" and slammed the phone down.) My Neighbour was away. So I decided to be brave (me never brave), grabbed my wadi (a club thingy made out of wood) and tip toed into the lounge room, took a deep breath and peered through the blinds and what did I see- 3 BLOODY KANGAROOS eating at my lawn, I forgot to close my front gate!

CHRISTIAN THE LION

I just love this clip - brings a tear to my eye every time I watch this.

NO YOU CAN'T GO!

AC rang me yesterday to tell me her news (not good news for me) that her and hubby were leaving good old Leo (gold country) for Quairading (wheat belt country) within the the next 2 months. WTF am I going to do - no doubt go back to talking to the walls!! AC was my drinking partner - IC's /champers (I will will be drinking solo from then on), gym partner, walking her mongrels, our Sunday drives (you have to be there to understand our Sunday drives!) our laughs, our whinges. Who's gunna (good English) help me when I need a birthday card or when I get a new gadget and help me put it together, I am going to be lost.

I have friends but I only have a handful of really close friends. I said to AC yesterday I hope we will be friends forever as many have come and gone in my life and you stay in touch for a few years then you lose all contact, I hope that is not the case with AC. No bull we actually speak nearly everyday via email/phone or in person and she only lives 4 houses down from me! I first met AC when she arrived into town and she came to join the gym and I gave her a guided tour of the gym. Who would of thought we would become good friends?
