Ugh

Every so slightly hung over :P But look, new virals!!!



Mmm....Absolut :)

Baking

The product of TWO hours of baking. Don't look at the large cupcakes in the left corner, they are not well iced as I was running out of icing!

Mmmm...banana walnut cupcakes with chocolate rum icing. I would say yummy but I haven't actually tried one yet! I have 32 big ones and 12 mini ones.

Mini-cakes with hundreds and thousands!!! Yay! All this baking is in lieu of Melsy's hen's night tonight. Should be FUN times. We even have semi-dodgy presents for her. Funny what you find out in the big wide world!!!!

Anyway, they'd better taste good otherwise a vast quantity of my time this afternoon will have been wasted!!!!

I have this MASSIVE bruise on the back of my leg. It is HUGE and I don't know how or when I got it - but it's just starting to turn yellowish. I seem to be injuring myself in my sleep as this is the third such bruise I have discovered mysteriously appearing on my person in the past week or two. AHHH!!!

Growing up

I was suddenly struck today - as I occasionally am - by this feeling of OLDNESS. Which is this slightly weird moment of wondering when the heck I grew up.

You know, for so long I was a kid and then a teenager, it's weird to be responsible for your rent, food, power, internet, telephone bill and finances. Even weirder to be talked about as "this lady" when in stores.

Sometimes I just feel like I'm playing at being a grown up. Like I'm a big kid trapped in a grown up's body. But that's not true either is it? Because for the most part I like being a grown up. I do hate the money woes though. It's like there's never enough.

And all the responsibility and the baggage that we pick up along the way.

Oh the stress :P

Isaac's car has died. Just as exams are starting for him.

Worse still, it's the alternator that has died and it's gonna cost between $300-350 to fix. That's JUST the alternator. The problem with the alternator happened because of an oil leak that was too close to the fan/cam belt causing oil to splash every where - including into the alternator.

So, in order to prevent this from happening again we need to get the oil leak fixed too.

I hate money. And I hate how much cars cost to fix!! Argh, I swear mechanics are always ripping us off!! Bastards.

It has been a long day. Long, long day.

If we weren't going overseas this wouldn't be an issue at all. Damn.
