Makayla

I got to babysit Makayla today! Megan was at my place today to say hello & return the phone she'd borrowed and while she was hanging out with us she got called in to work. Mike was out of town for work so I volunteered. We had heaps of fun, she's such a good baby, she slept most of the time and didn't even do a pooey nappy for me! She's getting so big she's almost doubled in size since last time I saw her!

Louth Races

I'm going to Louth again! I don't think I had a blog last year so I'll have to explain. Louth is this tiny little town 80-100k's west of Bourke (or 450k's west of Dubbo) and every year they hold races (the horse type) and the town explodes from like 50 people (including the surrounding properties) to like 4 or 5 thousand. The races are awesome, rich people fly in on their private jets & chartered planes and they have this huge marquee (of which I'm not rich or powerful enough to enter) that has like waiters with bowties and jazz quartets. There's other tents but that's the swankiest. Anyway work helps out with the Fashions in the Field Judging (although it's not technically work related) but Cathy (who's like the Louth Veteran - she's been about 5 or 6 times) and I and Maryanne are all going out for the races. It's so much fun! I'm so excited. Here are some pics from last year:




















This is the Finishing Post, the track is completely dirt (any grass that's there is gone by the time the first race is over)

















This is the main street The big building there is the pub/general store

These are the toilets. They're on the back of a semi trailer with girls at one end and boys at the other. It's quite disturbing really.

Just thought it was funny

I don't wanna go to work at 7!

I have to start work at 7 tomorrow which means I have to leave by 6.45am, which means I have to set the alarm for at least 5.45 to get out of bed by 5.55! That is just really really rude! I'm gonna have me some strong coffee tomorrow!
I got tricked into working it, the last I'd heard we were only opening at 8am tomorrow & thursday, so when my boss came last week and asked me if I could do the early starts I said "Sure, No Problem" Then I looked at the roster in his hand realised what had just happened and now I'm stuck with it!
Some of you people better come shopping tomorrow morning early!!! (it's the stocktake sale by the way) to make it worth it!!!! :(

Dispute Resolution Method

I've just come up with the best method for deciding who wins an argument:

Most Relevant Futurama Quote Wins

eg Justin & I are sitting upstairs in our computer chairs with a doona each waiting for a movie to copy over so we can watch on the computer. I say "Let's get the dog and let him snuggle too" Justin Says "But I'm Comfortable" I say "But I am already in my pyjamas". Justin goes downstairs to get Crusher coz it was so funny (I think you had to be there).
Anyway, I think that if they UN used this method with warring nations the World would be a much more peaceful place.

Blogging

Ok, so I know i haven't blogged in ages but I haven't had anything interesting to talk about. I thought of something in the shower the other morning but by the time I got out I'd forgotten it.
Sorry
