Weak

The effort i've put into my blog the passed week has been pretty weak. See what I did there?

I have been flat out super busy. You think that's a petty excuse? I haven't washed my hair for over a week and at one stage I realised I hadn't showered in 2 days. Now, that is busy if I do say so myself.

What have I been doing this week that has made me abandon my throng of dedicated readers? Well...I played a very quick game of Scrabble with Aleks, I decorated a cake Nova baked for Libby's 21st (and wrote a speech!).



I agreed to help my sister out with some work she needs done urgently (this has been number 1 time user) AND I went to 2 parties last night.

One of them had so much t+a everywhere that I felt like tits and ass would be all i'd ever see again. Like one of those fctory workers that looks at bottles all day long on a moving thing, and then they crash their car cause they can't see the road, only bottles.

Well, that was me only with boobs. Where was this magical land? It was my friend Victors birthday party. He seems to only be friends with girls who have painfully good bodies, and so it makes sense that the theme for his birthday was 'things Victor loves' and it was suggested girls go in uniform of some sort.

I felt proud to be the odd one out. Only in the sense that I wasn't dressed like a mega ho. I would probably trade a few teeth to have a body like one of those girls.

What else happened this week? I watched Masterchef. Wonderful masterchef. I went to uni of course. I worked at the clinic, of course.

Oh! Novak Djokovic is absolutely smashing the shit out of the tennis scene at the moment, infact, he has been doing so all year, so there is a lot of patriotic pride happening in my house.

It has been brought to my attention that I look exactly like Nole (as we call him lovingly in our home.) when my hair is cut short.



Yep. Pretty sure we're related.

That's probably it for the passed week. In a dirty haired nutshell.

I realised today that I have become completely addicted to Spudbar. I found myself thinking about how good it will be to eat at spudbar tomorrow. If you don't know Spudbar, get to know it. It's a place that serves Potato Spuds. With anything on top you may want. This is my order:

- Spuds
- butter
- corn
- sweet chilli sause
- jalepinos
- sour cream
- chives

Best.

I'm still waiting on either lipstick 1 or 2 to show up. I don't mind which. However, at least one has to soon.

My friend Chloe has hurt her knee and i'm going to try and fix her up as best I can either tomorrow night or Tuesday, poor thing. I may take photos if she'll let and then you can all see a little bit of acupuncture.

I'm just waiting on some fish and chips to be brought to my by my loving boyfriend and then i'm going to watch Merlin and Masterchef. It will be excellent.

P.s I am sorry for neglecting you my little blog. I will try and not do it again x

Sick

I've managed to get myself sick again. I have a wind-heat invasion. For those of you non-chinese medicine practitioners out there, this is what a wind-heat invasion consists of:

Sore throat, headache, cough, fever or elevated body temperature, body aches, little or no sweat, runny or stuffy nose with yellow discharge, a red tongue body w/ yellow coating. If the heat is very deep it may cause nausea or vomiting, depressed appetite, abdominal distention, chills and fever, heavy sweating, irritability, strong thirst

It's a type of common cold. Of course, in Chinese Medicine we never say 'common cold' because we're awesome and we know there are DIFFERENT types of cold. Anyway, I have one. And it's a heat not a cold.

As you have learnt from the above passage, I am suffering from a depressed appetite. While you might think that would make me happy, it's in fact just making me sad that I have no cake.

Because I'm the luckiest girl in the world, here are the THREE cakes I got for my birthday this year.



How amazing does that look?! Thanks Summer! It gave me a Chron's attack, BUT IT LOOKED AWESOME SO WHO CARES?


Fabian's sister made this for us! It had our names underneath in gorgeous hand made fondant too! She made us a ZEBRA CAKE people, ZEBRA.



Okay, your eyes may still be dancing in joy after the zebra cake and you may have not quite registered what this is. That is my mama's reforma. In other words, THE ABSOLUTE best tasting cake. In the world. Ever.
Now moving on from cakes, something I don't want to do - I have said that I'm doing a photo a day. Now that my blog is finally working properly I will post day 4. Here it is

4.Medicinal Drawers

As the keen reader may have noticed (Ha! Currently I have 1 follower and it's myself...I did notice.) I said that a shelf would be arriving on which i'd put my two amazing antique drawers, WELL, that hasn't happened and I can't be bothered explaining why, so here is one of them perched precariously on the thingo that holds my towels.

Gorgeous right? Right.

Goodnight!

Fire

Last night we had a big fire outside of Fabian's house. One that we lit, I should mention, to have friends sit around and ultimately melt ginger chocolate on.

I had a combination of a great night and a not to great night.

Lots of my dear friends were there, and I wasn't getting overwhelmed with 'the boys' (the ingenius name i've given to Fabian's cluster of school mates). Aleks went out of her way to come even though she had something else on later and Libby and Chloe came which was all awesome.

Chloe whipped out her camera at some stage and much hilarity ensued -

It was great weather, good good good food, great company yet I managed to totally spaz out over the amount of chairs, enough that I drove to my house and got back to Fabians with an entire bench in my back seat, 2 fold up chairs in the boot and a few stools in the front seat. Which were entirely not needed might I mention.

I also almost had a steak-related panic attack, so add in the fucking gorgeous looking/tasting cake and I pretty much ensured a Chrons attack. It's still bothering me today, but I am confident it's just a short stint and will be fine by tonight!

I have been writing an assignment for most of the day, it's for my 4th year subject which is all about the Shang Han Lun.

For those of you that don't know what that IS, ignorants, it's a text that was written in China in 200AD and that is pretty amazing and awesome.
I decided to jump on here when my powerpoint presentation suddenly froze and my computer was 'thinking' for minutes and then unexplainably shut the unsaved program I was working on. I have since managed to re-open it and THANK MY LUCKY STARS it autosaved and I am pretty sure I can avoid going to the toilet over that freak out.

Tonight is family birthday dinner for Fab with his family (not a strangers family, because that would be weird). I am going to try and smash out the rest of this assignment, while furiously saving every couple of seconds, so I can go and enjoy this perfect day. (yes, remember how cold I said it was a few days ago? Well, we're in Melbourne - and today I can't complain!)
