valentines day/ 8th year anniversary/ birthday

yes... valentines day is a very big day for me. so what did i do on this special day?

1. my partner and i gave a promise to one another that we wouldn't celebrate valentines this year... but i guess promises were made to be broken.

when he came home yesterday he had with him a dozen roses and a big smile on his face. you can imagine my delight and surprise to receive such a gift. after giving him a big lecture on breaking promises etc. etc. i pulled out a little gift bag which had in it a bottle of perfume for men by diesel, chocolates and a little something naughty (which we wont get into).

2. later that evening we celebrated his mums birthday by taking her out to dinner. at first we had booked a table at a family restaurant and to our surprise we were informed that the menu was changed for valentines day and it was to be $60 a head... i think we were out of there before the waiter could utter another word...

all dressed up an no where to go, we settled for a non fancy all you can eat diner at good old 'sizzler'. 3 hours, four trips to the buffet and a salmon teriyaki later, we were oblivious to the fact that the once full restaurant was now empty. proves to show that no matter where we went we would have had a great time anyway.

3. wore my bardot denims, vintage broach and bonds singlet...

on to a different topic all together...

"I DONT NEED SEX

THE GOVERNMENT F!#*S ME EVERY DAY!"

we.... (and when i say we, i mean people of australia) received great news this week as the government passed the 42 billion stimulus package. each low income earner will be receiving $900 in the hopes of reviving the economy. money will also be put towards schooling and family support. to that i thank mr tin tin (aka mr kevin rudd) for being so generous to my melbourne jar...

as much as i am happy to receive, there is this nagging voice at the back of my head saying..."you are going to pay for this"....

so what exactly am i afraid of?

in a world where nothing is for free, something as big as 42 billion will have serious repercussions. no doubt unemployment will increase as small businesses are over looked. (ie. small businesses such as photographic studios... get my drift?...) the more i think about it the more it becomes clear that keeping my job; however horrible it may be, is better than a quick $900 in my pocket. i just hope and pray that it wont come to this...

Question: what would you do with an extra $900?

mama mia!

what i did today:

1. met up with my mum for lunch and then did a little window shopping. i showed her the bag i placed on lay-by. needless to say she wasn't impressed by the price.

i also gave her a copy of mama mia. i know she is going to love the movie because she is a big fan of abba and without giving too much away; 1 woman + 3 men at the same time = 1 spawn (me)... yes i am a little uncertain as to who my real father is till this day.

2. wore my brown cotton on top... yes yet again... i cant get enough of it. this time i paired it up with my shorts from ice, ring from sports girl, bangle from the philippines, thrifted beads and belt.

3. bought a skirt and a pair of earrings to match from cotton on and an awesome scarf from city beach .

before i go i would like to thank everyone for the compliments on my last post, you made my day.

is this real life?

i love him...

i am lucky!!!

today the beautiful, funny and remarkable andrea gave me my first blog award. if only i could give it back to her i would, but i'm not entirely sure that i am meant to do that.

i would like to pass this award on to emma, thevintageyear, girl japan, penny, cc and pandamime! ok there is six all up but i can't narrow it down, they are all deserving of this award.

well off to my second job, i hope its not going to be a late night.

are you feeling lucky?

what i did today:

1. wore my living doll black dress, supre top, dotti bag and thrifted belt.

2. went shopping and found the best brown bag... ever.... it's by lucky brand, it's going to cost me $300 but i love them too much to even consider the price. i have put them on lay-by, so in 8 weeks i will be the proud owner of a 'lucky' hobo bag i cant wait!!!!

while i was out i picked up this belt from dotti. a little disappointed with it because upon trying it on at home i found that it was a size too big and i had already taken the tag off. oh well... i also grabbed this super cheap stockings from myer.

3. i paid my car loan today and it feels so good to be debt free...

4. as i write this i am watching 'how i met your mother'. im so glad that the tennis is finally over and all my favourite tv shows are back on.
