hhahahhaha
On Friday night I was home playing with my Wacom enjoying the peace cos Travis was staying back after work having a few drinks.
He rang at 10:00pm saying he was on the train which gets in at 11:00pm. No worries.
I basically had my PJs on and went out the door barefoot... lights left on, dogs inside with free reign over the whole house... you know.. typical things when you only go out for 5 minutes.
So, Im waiting at the station.
Train pulls in.
People get off.
Travis ISNT one of them!
I ring his mobile... no answer.
Great! I was so cranky! He had fallen asleep and his phone was on silent!
As much as I wanted to go home and let him find his own way back, I couldnt because its just so quiet once you start getting further up! No trains coming back down, no taxis, no buses.....
After 3 stops up the mountain I found it amusing. I pictured myself as a James Bond type character chasing after a train... by the fourth stop the train was ahead of me... I was approaching the 5th stop and my mobile rang:
uh... Hi Lis..... um.... Im at Warrimoo station... I fell asleep..... Are you nearby?!
ROTFL

Do ya like?
ahh a fresh new banner :)
Today has been a pretty good day! I knocked over a few presents in my lunch break... 4 people for Christmas and my sisters birthday present coming up at the end of November.
Then I came back to work late, hot and starving, and when I got to my desk...
MY WACOM TABLET WAS THERE!
woo hoo :) So i forgot about my hunger, ripped all the packaging and bubbled wrap off it and then just stared and started drooling :D
Then I bundled it in the cupboard with all my shopping boxes and went about my afternoon.
THEN I got home and OMG I nearly died of shock... I *finally* receieved a commissioning letter for a layout which SM accepted waaaaaaay back in January this year!!!! LOL I had well and truely given up hope that would ever see the light of day, but now it will be in vol 8 issue 9 of SM! woo hoo :)
Anyway I got home, did my aerobics, and Travis rang to ask permission to stay back at work to have a few drinks. Of course! It gives me the night all by myself to play with my tablet LOL. He just rang and asked if he can stay another hour and get the 11:00 train home. As if he needs to ask?! Im happy :) Booted the dogs outside after a big session of pats and kisses and I have the house aaaallllll to myself :)
ahhhh perfect!

So busy!!!
wow I have actually had a life that DOESNT involve being on the computer!
Well, partly.
Last Tuesday we went to see PEARL JAM at the Acer Arena in Sydney. I was sooooooo excited. On tuesday night we had fairly ordinary seats.. all the way at the back up the top and the band was just a moving dot LOL BUT they played an awesome set of songs.. all my favourites one after the other. I dont go to concerts thinking oooh they HAVE to play such and such or I will be disappointed, but there was one I was dying to hear live that they didnt play in 2003 when we saw them. and I was so happy that they played it, on BOTH nights too!!
Anyway on Wednesday night, we were back there and we had FRONT ROW seats!!! I felt sooooo special when we got these special wrist bands :) It was all seated so they made sure that the people in the front row had the front row, and people in the 2nd row didnt jump over the chairs. There were a few people trying to, cos every 10 minutes a big security guard would charge behind us pushing them back into row 2 :P
Anyway I got some fantastic shots!!! I created this from my favourite snaps and its proudly displayed in the lounge room :)
Pretty cool!!!!
hmm what else??
Oh yeah we also went and saw U2 on Friday night :) I must admit I wasnt all that excited about this concert... I think becuase I like Pearl Jam better and was soooooo excited to them, and then even more excited with the front row-ness of the 2nd concert.. that it almost felt like U2 would be a let-down. Strange, I know ;) And of course it WASNT a let down! It was another awesome concert... fantastic lighting effects, a ginormous big screen and they played a great mix of songs.
Got pics of that too, but not on the computer yet :)
I got my overtime in my pay this week and I have more than enough for a wacom graphic tablet!! woo hoo. So i just ordered it and can NOT wait for it to arrive :) I went with the Graphire4, a 6x8 size :) I was going to spend the money when we go overseas, but the overtime was unexpected so I thought well, why not buy something unexpected to match?! I have wanted a tablet since I started scrapping almost one year ago so its high time I treated myself!!
I was originally going to save up my cheques from my published layouts, but as soon as i get them, I think well... its only $20 and go and buy $20 worth of scrap products! I think I have spent my next 3 cheques that I havent even received yet :P
Anyway I also got a couple of layouts done over the weekend :)
But blogger is being stubborn and wont let me upload.. which is a shame cos one of them is just hilarious!!! :P I scrapped myself acting like an idiot... again. hahahha
Oh well... will try again tomorrow!

In other news.. well there is no other news really... I have been roped into doing overtime for the entire week and I am exhausted. Getting in to work at 7:45am and not leaving until 7:00pm is rediculous. BUT paid overtime doesnt get offered much around here so I am making the most of it. If I work enough overtime I am going to treat myself with a wacom tablet! or maybe some new clothes... or some belly and nose jewellery.... or use it for spending mney in Rome.... so many options!! hahha
ok well ive got 20 more minutes here (ugh HURRY UP!) and then I get to go home.. Although I have energy now.. I found some left over Tiramisu from morning tea and gobbled down a huge slice! HA! so im functioning on that sugar / coffee hit ATM :)
Jamies Kitchen is on tonight! Its the only TV show on Free to air tele that I actually make time to watch. Apart from Berts Family Feud in the afternoons... he cracks me up!!
Ok goodnight everyone!!! :)
