tomorrow i wish i could buy pretty paper. write something beautiful on it. send it in a pretty envelope with a pretty stamp. make someone special smile. then drink tea in a fancy tea parlour and read a novel. watch people walking by. tiny dogs in coats bouncing along. or huge furry mountain dogs. but none in between. go for a walk with someone special in the cold cold air. snuggle up to keep warm. kisses and cold noses together. hands in pockets. it's 11:11 so maybe my wish will come true. although not the part about my special someone being here. that will have to remain a wish for now.

and now into dream land with my special someone and my Jesus.

On that list of mine

Reading back to my list a few months ago, I can proudly say I've crossed of 1, 3 and 6! My inspiration board's looking a little bare though, so I think I'll print a few of the lovely pics I've got in my stash. 

I also went for a massage, but seriously need to go again. I have 'Mac shoulder' (well that's what I call it, but to be fair, I had it with my PC before) from spending too much time on my new laptop and not knowing how to sit ergonomically and still be the right distance from the screen for my eyes.

Here's the view from my new room. It's got this gigantic old liquid amber (Mom says it's something else, but anyway) which has just started getting really leafy and beautiful. It looks even better through my new tassel curtains which I picked up for $20 each at the $2 shop.

It's been a while

Been getting back into the blogging scene this weekend, and my is there lots to inspire me. I'm loving Koi Suwannagate's Spring 09 RTW collection.

Also started dreaming up house ideas for when I finally move out (not that I hate living here. On the contrary. But I need some 'just the 2 of us' time with Lovely Bf) I'm liking the look of this little room.

Will hopefully post more soon. Cheers

Lists and plans

I love writing lists and making plans. I find myself doing it all the time now as my Brisbane trip gets closer (!) The thing is, I hate all the notepaper I write them on. I have these little pads of floral paper and fluoro post-its. Next time I go to kikki.k, Paperchase or other stationery shop, I shall get some pretty paper to make things even more fun!

My list for now:
1. sleep!

2. finish remaining assignments

3. get a massage (I've been needing one since this time last year, and the place is just up the road, but I still haven't gone...)

4. do something nice yet non-interrupting for Tom because he has exams on. I don't want to bug him when he's 'in the zone' studying, but still want him to know how much I love him

5. scrapbook! I haven't gotten around to scrapbooking about SA, and I'm scared that the memories are already starting to fade after 4.5 years. This was the reason I started scrapbooking in the first place...I think I'm noticing a trend here, but then again, I've always had trouble finishing what I start :(

6. get a huge corkboard so I can stick up all my pretty pics and ephemera and not have to worry about pulling them all off the walls when we move house

I have a blog??

Yes I do. And I've been neglecting it. So now that semester is almost over I get to post more stuff!
