Well cant really see the sunnies but LOVE EM!

The move has been sorted and the mattresses thrown out (frekking expensive tho they charged 50 dollar for it...) It took a bit longer than we thought as it always does... after that I spent an hour in the sun then off to Westfield Westlakes for some shopping. They have a wild game butcher there and I bought some Emu, kangaroo and smoked crocodile.
The croc is a white meat that tastes like ehm nothing, the smoked version was nice tho!This is smoked crocodile tail on a bed of lettuce with sweet chili sauce and chili crackers! Nomnomnom

Today I finished my promises regarding the house to the ex and that feels good! Now "all" I have to do is clean (tomorrow) and pack (Thursday) and move some stuff (Friday) Ill be hitting the gym and the beach when I can :) After Thursday and the move (cant see that taking long) on Friday I have a few days relaxing, shopping and then Im off home!

Today I have been extremely lazy! I have been living on HPLC bars from Aussie bodies! YUMMY! Yes not very opti but they dont contain any collagen protein, very tasty too!
Today has been a great day! Izzy went on a trial with a family up in the hills. Mum in the family is a stay at home mum and they had great kids. She fit right in! Hopefully it works out!! Im so happy and its like a big burden has gone from my shoulders!
Gym went good too! Quads and calfs, I only felt the shoulder a tinsy bit but Im thrilled!

4 days left in this house! I have moved the lawn for the last time!

Saturday, January 23

Yesterday I started sunbaking, it was a bit coludy but I felt confident the sun would win. However massive drops started to hit me and I had to give up. Went inside and had lunch, big lunch, mmmm chicken with pesto... looked outside and it was sunny (me=ooo outside) sunbaked for a few hours, went inside and took a shower. Came out and it was windy, clody and cold (me=um okay)
Drowe to Lisa's, a former workmate, forgot my camera and remembered that just as I downed the first glass of bubbly. Ah well...
Lisa couldnt decide what to wear and tried on 7 tops and then ended up having the top she had when I came there :D Her mum drove us into Highway and we met everyone there. I was happily surprised that almost everyone came by! Everyone is so sweet and I will miss you! Thea bought me a little cute awesome quacking duckflashlight hybrid. It quacks when you press the flashlight (yes now you know what I did all night)
We stayed till 1.30 and Lisas hubby drove us home! I made myself a *Im so happy/drunk/craving* snack. Went to bed and as I put my head down on the pillow I get a text. I turn the light on again and stupidly drunk giggle to the text I got. I look up and the biggest black spider Ive ever seen (yeah okay maybe not the biggest but close) crawls up on my pillow! EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW up again, with the pillow trying to keep the spider on it and dump it on the floor in the laundry and drowns it with spider spray... back to bed, turn the light out and Im sleeping LOL
Today Rich came over and we have done some house work, however everything takes longer (especially when Nelli isnt really keen on doing anything) than we thought so there is more to do... Phew... now Ive just had a massive dinner and a protein bar and relaxing on the couch, this is where I shall stay till bed time then tomorrow gym!!!!!! My shoulder is feeling good so fingers crossed!
Other than that mums bank lady has arranged a visa card for me to be sent to mums and I have independence!! Yay!!

I managed to drag the battery all the way home and not irritate my shoulder, it actually feels a lot better today!I did clean the car out and it looks great now!
But not gym until sunday, we are going out tonight and tomorrow there will be more paining and fixing the house. Im feeling a bit better about the whole situation regarding Izzy, I have 2 possible homes now and if they dont work out Jenny will take her for a couple of weeks and we will add some extra adds around the place and if she cant find a home for her then she will take her to the AWL. I spoke to them and they will take her and if shes not terrified (she wont be as she wasnt the last time) they will give her a chance.
The weather is crap, hot cloudy and spitting down, not raining (enough to stuff the car up tho) , just muggy and bad... Im going to head into colonnades soon to check for some clothes to wear tonight and then hopfully its cleared so I can get some rays,
:D I have just walked to a car place, bought a new battery, walked home and installed it myself and the car is working!! proud as!
The guy who sold me the battery just looked at me... are you running... (its 36+ and I was sweating very badly)
My car just died! So stuffed shoulder = cant do anything at home, Stuffed car = cant do anything at all *GARGH*

Wednesday, January 20

Sneak peak on my apartment - I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!! The first one is the entrance to the left, former wardrobe (will put a new one in) and kitchen to the right!




I feel a bit better about Izzy today, I have a potential home, I will let you know more as soon as I know!
Shoulder is still stuffed but Im going for a run this morning, need to get rid of some stress... so no IFing today.

Tuesday, January 19

So, Ive f**ked up my shoulder yesterday morning, just stretched a bit when I woke up and BANG something burst behind my shoulder blade! I went for a walk and felt like shit (not to mention the problems of pulling your pants up when your left side is hurting like hell, or getting up from sitting down) managed to sort my mobile contract and sell my phone so that instead of 1500 dollar it will cost me about 399, thats great! Then I figured its time to bite the sour apple and take Izzy to the pound, went there and they said that unfortunately there are no spots left so if they take her they will put her down.
I have no idea what to do. Ill try calling them next week and see if anything is free after the weekend. Totally miserable (and hurting like hell) and Izzy felt it and went and hid in her kennel, wouldnt come inside all night.  Im not coping!!!!!! The lady said try AWL but they are such a horrendous pound :/ Ill try RSPCA this and next week and then Ill give AWL a call. IT SUCKS BIGTIME

ARGH!!!! Just called Skandia (bank) and they reckon that one cant change address (despite what they emailed and told me) unless one is written in Sweden. I cant do that until Im physically in Sweden. So that means no visa card = no access to money untill Im in Sweden + the time it takes to order the bloody thing. I also spent $20 on a phone card that has been a complete waste of money. NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!!!!!! My only hope to get a visa card is to talk to the person mom arranged the loan against and hopefully she has written me in my apartment as I needed to have a bank account with them because of the loan. She's not working Mondays so I have to wait..  The - is that if I transfer all the money over I have no way of verifying that it worked... GAH again!!
I guess as a last resort Ill transfer the money to Mom or Dad and they can shop for me... hopefully they can increase the shopping limit as I need to spend a fair whack...
I JUST WANT TO SPEND SOME MONEY AND SAVE SWEDEN FROM THE CREDIT CRISIS HOW HARD CAN IT BE!!!

*rant over*
Ah soo nice to sleep in (well till 7 at least) then made all! (except the bank in Sweden) phone calls, booked the baggage double checked everything and went to the tax agent and the bank.
Went to the gym, shoulders, triceps and calf's. Since Ive increased the number of exercises/set it takes a bit longer, about one hour! But the weather is perfect for gym, no stress and hardly any people! So I enjoy it a lot more than normal!

Saturday, January 16

HAHAHA - so sad that its funny, unfortunately its like this tho... way to common

This is what my life has been reduced to! 3 boxes (and a suitcase) LOL
The move is going forward! Wednesday Ill head to the City to check what to do with my Visa!
Training is feeling fun again! Im going to the gym today to do hamstrings and abs, I think the reason that I felt wonky was because I ran out of my super pump (caffein and kreatin amongts other things) and not buying a new one until I get back to Sweden...
Later on we are painting the house, well parts of it anyway ;) Tomorrow Jenny is coming over and picking some stuff up that she is inheriting from me lol

The apartment is apparantly coming along really good, dad reckons it looks great! Im soo thrilled!!!!

This post from Leangains is a VERY good one! read it!!

Ive just had the second unmotivated gym session in a row. Did what i was supposed to but missing the zing... Went home and had a bit of a sweet tooth, cured it with a fresh yummy fruit salad. take your favorite fruit, cut in pieces and grab some cottage cheese, mix with a bit of vanilla essence and sweeten if you want. mix and eat, satisfying and tasty!
Last day that I have to drive to work, feels great!!
Went to the beach with Izzy, she was soo naughty and ran off, Nelli not happy! but it was nice!

Wednesday, January 13

The decision has been made, we found a floor that is very close to the flooring in the living and bed room. I reckon that's best! The painter has apparently done the pre work on the walls and only the painting is left! I'm so thrilled and I want to go home now!!! Im more homesick than ever!!! I guess having the stress of the move over with adds into it too!
On Friday the 22ndf I'll be having say goodbye drinks at the highway if you want to come and are in the country ;) after 7pm!
Slept for 10 hours last night, feel like a human again, the air is sooo fresh and nice and crisp and I love it!!!
Feel tagged for gym tonight! All exiting legs lol

Tuesday, January 12

Going nuts over here! have had a discussion with a guy at work, former painter etc and he reckons that black might be to dark.
I feel a bit bad for dad that has to try to fix this... I reckon light to medium gray will be better, matches the black, the kitchen and it doesnt have to match the bathroom perfectly...
Im sooo confused and it doesnt help that i slept for like 2 hours last night.. No gym today, no point, to tired!!!

Monday, January 11


Trying to call Sweden isnt so easy.... been calling my bank in Sweden and sometimes it cant recognize my selection, sometimes I cant hear what they are saying! Frustrating!!! and now Ive no money left on my telephone card... *GAH* try again tomorrow

Gym went sort of okay, felt weak, hopefully its the weather, guess 43+ with a humidity of a million isnt the best lol 26 and rain tomorrow (YAY)

3 weeks or 21 days until my flight!!!
oaah 1 more interview and one programming task (so possible a second interview!) iiih!

Sunday, January 10

I'm happy to be at work in the air con that can deal with a 43 degree day! Excellent! I ate a tub of icecream yesterday, crunchy toffee mmmmm very nice! And cold! I have found an excellent pod cast for you happy trance people, good mix of clean beats, nice temp and vocals *the latest one is a bit different but the earlier ones are awesome!
The guy's name is dj bigdirty (yeah I know, feral name lol) Awesome to train to! Hitting the gym at normal time today, hopefully it wont be to busy, I love training at 1-2ish its soo much better! Shoulders, triceps and abs today!
last day of the first holiday lol 43 stinking degrees and no wind, so no beach... phew... Dad is fixing my floors in the apartment but we are having some problems deciding what color and texture to have in the kitchen and hall, the entrance is black slate, the bedroom and living room is oak and the bathroom is greyish. The painter reckons go black, dad is torn between oak and black and I find it hard to decide since i havent seen it. Its going to be hard to match the oak and I initally thought light gray for kitchen and hall but Im leaning towards black now but oak (fairly good match) will look good to. hehe heaps messy!!!

Form check after Christmas and New Years, 58 kg and a back picture! Sadly not many tanlines going on on my back (odd )

My ex has bought a new house down south, He's kept it quiet but I'm happy for him! Its down south and he'll be moving this week (good for both of us I think as we have some discussions here and there lol) He will leave a lot of stuff and still take most of the things so no dramas that way seeing that was the reason I kept living here. It will be a bit empty since he takes a fair bit of furniture.

Thursday, January 7

Ha a really nice fika last night and it was great sitting outside and chilling out as the sun set. Today I've just been at the beach, gym (hot...) and watching some dvds and trying to disconnect the move and things to do. Its needed I think!!

Tuesday, January 5


Quads and Calfs today, went good, Its soo nice when the gym is empty and I can fiddle around my self. I have been making a million calls today finishing stuff and changing addresses. I'm starting to feel a little bit stressed but its just me and I know I'll be able to do it.. It just seem like a massive task at times.. Bought a bum bag (HAHAHA) love it! Its very comfy and soo good! Love it!!!
Tomorrow night there is coffee at Jenny's :)

Monday, January 4



The train has started rolling

Calibrated my IPhone + Nike sensor so now i can play with it on walks... (have Iphone integrated shoes since before) since i have been forced to use the credits on my optus I have grown more fond of my IPhone LOL I'm such a n00b and not thats the one I´m using.. loads of good trance podcasts around to train and walk to!

Happy 2010!!!
NYE I spent at Jennys, we had a BBQ and watched the fireworks! Good calm night :)
I went to Summadayz yesterday and it was great! Played a little with my camera and got a fair few good shots of the fireworks!


Started the day with forgetting the tickets and had to drive all the way back home to pick it up lol Jenny made a champagne breakfast and was very creative with awesome food!
She put thin wrap bread (called Sorg) in a muffin form, fried bacon and mixed eggs (5) with 125g of milk. Put the bacon in the bread and topped with the egg mix, put in a bit of fetta and some blanced spinach and 1/2 a cherry tomato. In the Oven at 200 degrees and when the eggs is set (ca 10-15 min) take them out and enjoy! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! You can make so many different fillings and so easy!

Back to the topic :) We took a cab into the city and went in!
Had a awesome time with Jenny and Lynda, not much to drink and a lot of dancing!!! Danced for 6-7 hours lol but it was just pumpin beats and happy people! I had enough around 8 and went home. Good waking up the day after and feel good, sore legs and danced out but not hungover. Only bad thing was the smokers... everywhere and second hand smoking was just everywhere. I have a cough today and either my cold is back or its the smoke... Im hoping? its the smoke...
