I'm sorry y'all...I just needed to vent and I really didn't think anyone actually read this space any more. I am fine now. I want you all to know that I did pray and I found the answers I needed when I wasn't even really looking for them. Please don't think Steve did anything horrible. he didn't, he just didn't behave the way I wanted and it took me a little while to realise and to admit that some of the problem was actualy with me and not with him not caring enough about me.

 

He and I are good and we are both happpier. I will reply to emails when I can.

 

Thanks you guys.

 

 

So the other night it was my hockey presentation. it was just held at a local pub so we had dinner before hand and hired out a function room. I was sitting with the 4th grade players as they are great and really the only ones who came for the whole thing. So we chated for a while and then the formalities started. My mum was coach of fourth grade and she went first. There were various thank yous, including one to me as both official umpire and helper at training...I was bought a gift voucher for a place called Godess for a pamper session which was really lovely. Next was third grade (only 4 people showed up) and then was second grade. Two trophies were given out...one for players player and one for most consistent. My coach started to wrap up and then he started looking in my direction a lot. Now it was like he was only talking to me since he was looking at me so much. I even had people turn and give me funny looks. Now it turns out that out of everyone in Second grade, I was given the most points so i got best and fairest out of everyone. I was stunned and blushing. So I walk up and suddenly Chris says..."Not only was she voted best and fairest, but she also is receiving the highest goal scorer in second grade." Wow...how crazy. But exciting.

 

It's nice to feel appreciated. I know it's easier to look back on a situation and say that you didn't need to get an award to make it worth while, but I really wasn't expecting any of it. I think too often thank yous are ignored or they are said in such an apathetic way that it loses meaning. Sometimes it's said too much and that is sad.

 

I challenge you all to really put meanings into your thank yous. Make sure that people know how much you appreciate what they have done for you, even if it's one of those situations where it was just the thought that counted. At least someone thought about you.

 

Well this was supposed to be posted almost a month ago but spaces was being a poo.

 

 

 

 

So next Tuesday (19th) is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!! Yes you read it correctly...now you might be thinking something along the lines of "Who cares?" And even though you probably don't expect and answer...I Care!!! In fact, during next week I'm going to be blogging like a pirate!!! So I'll appologise for any difficutlies you people have in reading my pirate talk.

 

Thats really all I wanted to say...I know...it's pathetic...this is a pathetic blog :'(

 

Well I will try to blog again as a friend of mine jenfafa.blogspot.com has this quiz thing on her blog and I'm going to give it a go.

 

Duty calls...I have 4.5 days left at my job and I'm busy busy!!!

 

WOOT!!!

Now I don't usually like whinging, but today I am sick and I really want to whinge about it!!! First of all, last Wednesday I flew to Brisbane as I am the manager of my sisters syncronised ice skating team. So that was pretty good. It was tiring and there were too many 5am mornings but overall it was fun. The girls came third and there really wasn't much in it between the top 3 teams. We also found out that in February next year we will be flying to Europe to compete in two competitions. So I am saving madly.

 

Now as much fun as I had in Brisbane, I got sick. On the first night up there I was having difficulty breathing and was tempted to go find my asthma puffer. Now I am a very mild asthmatic so that wasn't exactly fun. I slowly started getting worse and by Sunday morning the mum's who were alos up there were offering to do whatever they could for me so I could rest and try to get better.

 

Now on that day I was tempted to sms my boss and say I wouldn't be in on Monday for work, but I was feeling a bit better by Sunday night so I went to work. Again this morning I was feeling dodgy and was tempted to not come in but I did anyway. I then found out that not only is one of the 4 admin staff away, but that my boss (who is sick but I don't think as sick as me) will be going home early today. Therefore leaving 2 of us here and really no way for me to go home sick. PLus I spent most of the night coughing so I am quite tired as well.

 

So I am stuck at work today. I have the option to not come in tomorrow and it is a more than tempting offer but I'll have to wait and see. I'm not cranky as such, but it sucks that if two admin staff are out of the office at one time, there is no way for the other two to really leave until the end of the day or briefly for lunch. So I've decided if I'm stuck here, I'm at least going to be comfortable and not push myself. Everything is a leisurely pace and I have some music on.

 

I can't wait to go to bed tonight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well the title is partially true.... I just know how to get my audience interested ;) So this morning I had a craving. I wanted something hot, but not toast. So what else was there. Well I could have made crumpets (which I actually feel like now...mmmm, peanut butter and honey crumpets *drool*) but I didn't feel like crumpets. Then I remembered that there was pizza left over from two nights ago in a sealed container in the fridge. Just two small pieces and they called out to me "Eat me Sarah!" There was also this other voice saying...go have some museli and be healthy, but alas the first voice one and this morning I had pizza for breakfast. It has been at least 2 years since this event has happened and it was great!

 

Ok so now that part is done.... did you know that white sugar and coffee sugar taste different??? I've been drinking peppermint tea all day (I had a sore throat) and I like sugar in my tea and I discovered that coffee sugar is sweeter. Unfortunately I found this out by suffering a not so sweet tea... btu now you all know that coffee sugar is better!!!

 

I actually did have something to blog about but after talking about food, my brain has gone all silly. So if at first you don't succeed, stop trying! It will happen when it happens. Did you know that Aldi supply some of the best packet popcorn around??? You can buy individual packs of microwave popcorn for 99c and it is just divine!!! I have no idea how bad they are for you, but they are better for you than chips. Mmmm, chips...I mean pop corn :D

 

So whose up for putt putt??? Well I am and I'm going this weekend!!! Yay!!! It's only been like two weeks since I've gone.... but you know what I'd really like to do??? Go ice skating!!! So on some random saturday that is coming up (not this one) I want to go ice skating...all those in favour...say 'I'! Oh and I also want to go to laser tag. However I understand all these thingsa cost money and should be spread out...but they must be done!!!

 

Well thats about all...although I have some crazy news!!! My mum bought the 7th and 8th season's oStargate on Sunday!!! WOOT!!! Now I have all the good ones - I say good ones as the 9th season doesn't have the original cast so who knows what it might be like...plus it's not even out atm...so WOOT!!!! * season's of Stargate!!! WOOT!!!

 

That is all :D

 

 

I think weekends are the greatest...not just because I don't have to go to work (although that is very nice), but because I get to hang out and have fun with my friends.... like this coming weekend is filled with heaps of crazy stuff and I'm gonna be busy but it'll be great!!!

 

Tonight I'm going to see Human Nature in concert. Now if you'd asked me just a few months ago if I'd go see them live I'd probably gone one about how bad boy-bands are and the word eww might be thrown in there somewhere. But tonight I'm going to see them perform a collection of Mo-town favourites (which I own their album of) and it's going to be great. Even if I don't enjoy the music, I get to hang out with Bec, Jen and Jen's parents and then Jono and his mum are going to be there so it should be fun anyway...plus Jen, Bec and I are getting a bit crazy and dressing up a bit!!!

 

Ok so tomorrow, Steve, Jen and I (also possibly my mum) are going to the zoo. They have snow leopards cubs and I haven't been in ages. I love the zoo. So we're going in early and then since it's going to be a million degrees (well really hot) we'll head home just after lunch I guess. If it's too hot I think a swim might be in order...hmmm, note to self, remember to take swimmers to Steve's house in the morning.

 

That bring me to Sunday when I have to take Liz to ice skating (be at macquarie by 6:45 at the latest), then off to church (starts at 9:30, well it's supposed to anyway), then back to my house to wash my black cat mouse and shave my white cat simba. At 2:30 I have a short meeting and then I'm going to Tepanyaki (Japanese restaurant where they cook your food in front of you and sometimes even throw it at you - don't wear good clothes) for a birthday dinner.

 

So it shall be busy but nice.

 

Oh...only 10 hours until I see Human Nature!!!!

So since there was demand.... This morning I ate raisin toast for breakfast. It's not asgood as cinnemon swirl which is divine, or even the chocolate swirl *drool* but it was still quite satisfying. Now when I say satisfying, I mean that it was tasty...however I have also discovered, that unlike with other breakfast type foods, I was not needing to snack at 9am...Now it's not that I NEED to snack at 9am, however by 9 I am feeling hungry again...Today I didn't feel hungry until 11:30...so obviously the combination of fruit and bread is good... That makes me tempted to try banana on toast....oh that sounds sooo good... if it weren't for this tasty roast sitting beside me waiting for me to eat it, I'd go into more details... :D
