Come On Out!

I Can See You!

Andrea Caught You Red Handed!

PARIS BACK IN THE SLAMMER

Yeah, Paris gone back to jail, just because she is famous for being well famous that does not give her the right to do want she wants. Serve your time and hopefully you would of learnt a lesson and start doing things for yourself instead others doing it for you.

NEW BLOGGER

At long last Kelly has managed to get her blog up and running, still needs formatting etc but she will get there. It reminds me of when I started mine, took me ages, its like eating Pringles once you start you cant stop - definitely an addiction.

Odi if you are reading this, come on you to can be a blogger .

DO THE CRIME DO THE TIME

Paris bloody Hilton - of the days she was suppose to do in jail she is let out after 3 days - on my gawd, because of medical reasons - a bloody "rash"! what are they thinking, she should be serving out the whole time, if it was anyone else they would be doing the time. So now she can spend her remaining time under house arrest - what has she learnt - nothing. What has she got that we haven't - yep LOTS OF MONEY!! Money does talk!

JUST JOKING

THE LOVE STORY OF RALPH AND EDNA:

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.

One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.

Edna replied, He didn't hang himself - I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?

SOMETHINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING? In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday. "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "MT". (Are you doubting this). Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?) The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.) There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out) A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes. A snail can sleep for three years. Almonds are a member of the peach family. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Babies are born without kneecaps They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated. If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors. Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite! Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated. The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. There are more chickens than people in the world. Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. NOW YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!

PHEW - WHAT A WEEKEND!

On previous posts I had mentioned our Golden Gift Weekend and how I was not looking forward to it - but I take that back - as the weekend went really well and I had a fantastic time mainly because we, the Registration Officers/Info Girls were based outside the office this year (it was a bit chilly in the morning but as the day progressed the weather was ideal) and not stuck inside like previous years. The day for us ran smoothly - the girls that worked were enormous help and having good workers makes a hell of a difference, thanks to Andrea, Bev, Libby, Louise, Macca, Kelly, Julie Sharon and Di - we did well.


There was plenty happening over the weekend, had the Cycle Challenge on Saturday morning (yes I can still walk!!) Horse Races in the afternoon and catching up the people that I had not seen for ages, plenty of entertainment for the children at the race course as well. Saturday evening we were entertained by Freestylenow BMX Bicycle Demonstratins, ARCANUS Circus, Heats of the Elite Mile and the concert by Troy-Cassar-Daly and Sara Storer plus a display of Aerial Fireworks which were fantastic. Sunday, we saw the Geraldton Pigeon Race Club - Pigeon Release Race from Leonora to Geraldton (don't know how the hell the pigeons know which way they go - but they do!! I wonder if they got there or are still flying?) The athletes events happening throughout the day, at lunch time the children were entertained by Dorothy the Dinosaur Dance Party which includes Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword, which I am sure the kids loved. Also throughout the day the athletes/spectators and ourselves (we have a good laugh) were entertained by a couple of clowns - I still smile just thinking about that clown.

I am sure that everyone that attended the weekend, left knowing that it was a good one.

1st - LOCAL WOMEN'S DIVISION

Tracy and myself did it - 50km cycle challenge - we both shared the riding time and we did it in 2 hours and shared the winner's prize of $250.00 we were guaranteed to be 1st or 2nd as there was only one other competitor Chris in the Local Women's Cycle Challenge and of course she came second, I think that we did pretty good considering it was a last minute decision and had no training whatsoever.

Not Far Now, Nearly There, Phew - Made it!


It was a good turn out especially for the men and children's cyclists and there was a young lad named Lewis who did the whole 50km ride - well done I take my hat off to him.

I can feel the aches and pains now and I am sure it will get worse by tomorrow - oh well them the breaks. I can now cross that of my to do list - BIKE RIDE -.

IT'S A MAD HOUSE

Its chaotic here in the office as we have our Golden Gift Athletic Carnival happening this weekend and everyone is running around like a blue arse fly including myself, not sure whether I am Arthur or Martha at present as I have a 100 and 1 things on my mind (don't forget to do this, make sure this is done etc etc) then I remember to take a deep breath and say to myself that I can only do 1 thing at a time not a 100!!

Over the weekend we also have a 50km cycle challenge, received an email yesterday to say they have no women riders in the Open or Local division and if we wanted to we could do the cycle challenge with 2 riders doing 25kms each - my mind started ticking over with the $ sign thinking this could be easy money made. Not that I have a bike at home and I can ride and I do ride the exercise bike at the gym (that counts doesn't it!!). My gym mate Andrea has piked so I might ride with another girl Tracy. If sounds easy: we can do 10 kms then swap but thinking 9.00am start, very chilly, wind factor, can I handle it or am I all talk no action woman!! Anyway still thinking about it and all that comes to my mind is $$$$, probably wont even win anyway and knowing our luck it will take us 8 hours not 2 but then again I would of done my 1 weeks exercise in one ride!!!

The day is nearly over but I can't wait for the actual weekend to come to an end.

DECISION IS MADE:

I AM GOING TO RIDE 50km CYCLE CHALLENGE
(sore backside I can feel now - Yee Haah)
