welcome to 2009!

so i've had this bloggy thing for about a year now. wow, how time does fly.

i hope all my readers had a wonderful new years. mine was alright. coulda been better, but also coulda been waaaaaay worse.

so i started the year with no income. i haven't worked since christmas eve, and as a result, i'm now in negotiations with centrelink to become a bum. still waiting on some paperwork from coles.

also, just thought i'd share this cause i thought it was funny, if not a little annoying....
went out the other morning to an appointment, and i noticed the fuel flap on the Volvo was open. so i turned the Cino around and pulled up right next to it and had a look. and of course, the fuel cap was missing. cause that's what everybody steals when they pass a car on the street without the lockable fuel flap. when i came home from my appointment i turned the Volvo on and checked the fuel gauge. they also managed to steal about a quarter of a tank of fuel. which i didn't really care all that much about cause i had a full tank from when we came back fom camping.

The Volvo had been out at Nabiac since we got back. it was only here for 2 nights before that happened. Jawsome bought me a lockable fuel cap yesterday. ha! i win!

been watching the news this morning (i remember when i thought the news was boring!!) and i've been listening to the reports of the american plane that landed in the river after a flock of geese flew into the engines.....

there was a comment on one news report that the FBI had said they don't believe there was any terrorist activity around it. but what they DON'T know is that the geese were actually trained as kimikaze pilots by al-quaeda. *grins like a moron*

so what did everyone get for christmas?? i got a decent haul this year!! i'm stoked!

i got a cheaper version of a flavourwave oven (it cooks most of the stuff that we eat so i'm happy!)
i got an electric mixer! very helpful for my other gifts....
a BOX of cupcake recipes and a cupcake kit with a silicone tray, recipe book and piping bag and tips...
hannah montana poster...
the knight's tale dvd... i was actually looking for a copy a while ago but didn't find one so i just left it. good thing i did!
i bought myself a board game. it's called tappayatung. it's like scene it, but just with quotes, songs and movie lines and there's no dvd....
i got various choccies and stuff
and one of the twins bought me this gorgeous little bracelet while she was at schoolies.
ooh! and i got a pandora bracelet too. it has a red glass charm and a frog (which Jawsome all chose for me when he bought it) and i got myself a princess crown charm a week later.
Sunny bought me an early gift. the Guitar Hero set for my DS. and the bag for it too. even Jawsome likes it.

the other day we went out on the boat with some mates to one of the islands around here adn had a bbq lunch. it was nice. a little sandy, but still nice. while we were cooking, i heard people making a fuss and i looked up and saw 3 dolphins just being lazy and swimming around and heading back out to sea. i managed to get a picture....

i could only just see them if i zoomed into the pic cause i had to use my hiptop. i left my proper camera at home. next time i go, i'm gonna remember to bring it cause that's twice now we've spotted dolphins when we're on the water.

well that's about all i can think of for now. the next time i update might be when we move. not certain what's going to happen yet. we might go to newy. more jobs there. which would be good.

before i go, i thought i'd share some more piccies of the prettyfulness that is forster.

Welcome back to the land of bloggyness...bout time too.

So how come you haven't worked since Christmas, Pet? Coles decision or yours? Perhaps the move to Newy will give you a better chance for work. you have that traineeship under your belt. Lots of skills. You are very employable!

And stay away from geese....
