It's the most wonderful time of the year....etc

The 1st of December is fast approaching and I'm jumping in line to see Santa! It seems as though each year I get a little more pre-mature with my festive cheer and this year is no exception! After a whirlwind couple of months I've managed to survive the onslaught of five subjects at uni whilst also managing the construction of what is sure to be the greatest Christmas present yet....my new house!!

So now I've gone and enrolled myself in summer school, inflicting copious amounts of insufferable hours focusing on the biomechanics of human movement and tolerating a "university lecturer" who's most overused phrase is "sort of like, ya know" (I never thought there would be a more annoying presentational habit than the dispersal of "umm" every five seconds....I was wrong!). Aaaaanyways, to keep my mind off that and to keep my procrastinating skills at an elite level I've beat the crazy rush and stocked up on lovely festive decorations. This year I'm following, what I've termed, the "Candy Christmas" theme; loading up on lime, purple, fuchsia and cyan baubles, tinsel and candy shaped decorations (I even bought matching Christmas wrap so that the presents beneath the yet to be erected tree coordinate!). My very first Christmas in my beautiful new house will be exceptionally stylish and wonderful!.

Staying with all things bright and sparkling, this weather sucks! (Can segue!) After a delightfully sunny taste of summer I was all set to don the summer glow and float about the pool in my new $5 lilo. Yet this week has been grey, cold and miserable.......untiiiil NOW!......or just then, when I said now. My rainbow gumboots and polka dot umbrella have brightened the streets and put a smile on many faces in this poopy weather. I urge everyone to relive the juvenile days of splashing through puddles and twirling umbrellas! I have caught myself out bearing the cheesiest of grins despite the potential misery this weather has the tendency to bestow. Don't be grey! Give the finger to mother nature and fight back with a smile and some weatherproof attire; polka dots optional, bright colours a must!

In other news, the girl needs glasses. The use of modern technology such as blogging has become a formidable past time with our poor eyes suffering more and more each day. The self/work/uni/technology inflicted eye strain will resolve if I walk away from the 21st century but until that time I choose to sexify my face with some Alex Perry frames! Yay! Stay tuned for facial imagery!

Most excited for the weekend! Rainy with a chance of baby showers!! My beautiful, Buddha bellied friend is celebrating the "yay your almost born" day of her lovely little girl-foetus and I can't wait go give her tummy a cuddle! I also get to meet my new cat! Due to unforeseen circumstances I have acquired a 3 yr old ginger whom I've affectionately renamed "Mr Meowgi the karate cat" (not to suggest his former name "Ginger" was any less endearing albeit creative). If he scratches my new lounges however, I'll karate kick his face......I probably won't, but I'll be mad!
