fear me, dear

today was pleasant. i woke up at half seven this morning, despite the fact that my first class of the day began at eight. rather than rush about the house trying to get ready, i slowly got myself dressed for school, and didnt leave for school til half nine. the mothership didnt mind, i told her i had photography. and i got a nice piece of buttered toast out of the deal. lazy mornings are amazing.

when i finally did get to school, the day was simple, because id missed out on my first two periods, and went straight on through to morning tea. i only had two periods left of the day, society and culture, because classes finish at half twelve every friday.

so rather than go home (it was far too hot to wait for the bus) i caught the train down to blacktown with carly and i spent a few hours chatting to her in pet centre (the least busy section of big w). ive turned into one of those pathetic employees that come into work even when theyre not working.



but oh, we did have fun. i went and got myself a chicken wrap from hungry jacks, then i had a wander about pet centre, planning what i am going to buy for my pet mouse, which i havent bought yet. i will soon though. it'll be fantastic, and i will name him/her pumpkin.

i was going to buy myself some new rimmel make-up, because i need some new foundation, but i changed my mind. its such a pity too, because if you spend more than $15 on any rimmel products, you get a lovely carry all bag with images of london on it. rather than buy the make-up, i moseyed on over to the entertainment section and bought myself a 'charlie and lola' dvd. carly and i watched it on the plasma screens in pet centre. we also made lame attempts at drawing charlie and his lovely sister (on a blank big w receipt nonetheless). i made charlie a bit fatter than i meant to. and carlys attempt at lola made the poor girl look slightly wrong. anorxic maybe?

after i finished at blacktown, i went home to find ther house empty, so i decided to make myself useful. ive amde a mess painting the frame of a pinboard black. im going to cover the cork part with some gorgeous giftwrap a la kath kdston (sort of) when the paints dried, and the product is complete, i'll post a photo. im sure it'll be lovely.

after finishing with the board, i made myself some tea with the tea set i bought for myself the other day. i took a picture as well. and its also got one of my schoolbooks in it. its covered with borders gift wrap, just like i said it would be.



ive not got work tomorrow. i told my supervisor, chris, that i just had far too much school work to do. its true. i was terribly lazy this summer, and i didnt get anything done. my fault, as always. ive promised myself i'll get as much as i can done tomorrow, minus distractions. unless its hot, and i decide to hop into the massive blow up pool ive put up in my garden.


tonight though, i plan on sitting in front of the widescreen watching zoolander, eurotrip and final destination with the sister and her boyfriend. today was excellent. and before i go, just a little picture for you...

leona edmiston

the mothergoose and i went shopping the other day and while she went looking through the bag department of myer (which i usually deteste due to the horrid prices of hideous bags), i came across a lovely bag that i reall really reall want! it was $245 and it was a 100% plastic clutch bag, and it was utterly delicious. i couldnt stop looking at it. i calculated, and its basically two weeks of my casual rate pay (but it leaves some extra spending money!) i want it! it doesnt look like much in the picture, but when its in your hands, you really feel the value. and i adore anything by leona.


tata for now!

the lovely life of a check out chick

first day back at school today. also the first day of my last year of school. to say the least, it wasnt at all exciting. actually, it was rather boring. the hallowed halls of wyndham college are filled to the brim with squeaky clean year eleveners who are always in the way. ive only met about a handful of them, and theyre rather lovely, but the others just continuosly irritate me.


i had work as well, which was inconvenient for me, because its currently 40 degrees celsius outside and about 30 degrees celsius inside, and im a sweaty sweaty mess about 40% of the time. its not pleasant, not at all. i also wanted to spend some quality time with the canines today, but it was just too hot, and i only had a mere three hours to snooz before work. said canines are absolutely gorgeous. (see below) theres arnold, the loveable bulldog. its rather scary when hes happy to see you, coz he can literally knock you over with one jump. then theres tyson, the mini foxie who thinks hes part of the mafia. hes such a meanie, and constantly bites and growls at arnold, but hes a little munchkin to me, and thats all that matters.


jesus, the mothership is calling me. must run. til next time... i promise my post will be much lovelier next time. scouts honour.



oh, and ig ot paid today! shopping tomorrow.
