I've been reminiscing about last year lately... When all of my friends were around and we were never out of contact. Heck all of us were on Facebook.
I'm really missing my friends lately.. Yea I have the love of my life and my beautiful little girl but I miss having my friends around too! We used to hang out almost every single day! We'd go shopping, go to an el cheapo lunch cause we couldn't afford anything else.. We'd miraculously have money to buy things for ourselves and we went clubbing on a regular basis on a budget, cause all we really wanted to do was dance all night long.
One of my amazing friends has such a beautiful family happening in her life and I'm so happy to see her so happy too! She's almost always replying back to my messages on Facebook and in txt that we end up txting for hours! And about random stuff half the time too!!! I'm missing you so much Hun, you don't know how much I'd kill just to go out fake wedding dress hunting with you again lmao!!! Back when we were looking forward to getting an engagement ring on our fingers and hadn't yet gotten it! We so totally knew it was going to happen with the boys we were with! It was so much fun getting up to mischief with you and I hope next year that, that is something we can wok toward!!! I'm missing you so much! Mwa!! Xox (or should I say cox) lmao!
Another of my friends I'm missing is one that I am so close to. One who knows so much about me and me about him. Some things I think would have been better to be left 'in the closet' than said out loud to me... *ahem* yes there is such thing as WAYYYYYYY too much information!! We used to see each other every single day! Without fail!! And I'd annoy the crap out of you waking you up before your alarm is anywhere near the time you set it to! We'd go shopping with whatever little money we had and we'd and we'd miraculously come up with more money in some way! We went shopping so often and clubbing every second weekend without fail! Even when we missed the train we'd find another way! Just so we could go and dance at our fave club!! I don't know how but you forced me to grow up and become so much more mature about things and I don't remember that happening at all!! I'm missing you so much babe that you don't understand. I want you back on Facebook so I can at least have an alternate way of contacting you, and it'd be nice if you replied to messages as often as you used to. Miss you Hun! Xox <3
My other amazing friends are my sisters... My real blood sister and the one friend I've known for so very long that we deemed to be our sister! Plus she looks like us! Lol! I love you both so much!!! And I really wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have you both!
On that note I really don't know what I'd do without anyone I've mentioned in this blog! I mean honestly I'd be in hell if I had never met you lot!
I'm missing you all so very much. My sisters not so much lol! Since I see you guys fairly often! I'm beside myself not knowing how to get us to go out more often!! I'm dying to have a drunken night out even if its just at mounties?! Here's hoping that I see you soon.
Sorry if this post doesn't make much sense... It's late, I'm starting to feel sleepy, and I'm just wishing to see my friends more often!
A blog of what is in my head at the time of writing... A chance for me to get things out of my head in a creative way other than talking to people, cause talking to people isn't the normal thing to do? ...Cause I'm Cool Like That...

Down in the Dumps and Yet Excited.
Hi Hi all,
I haven't had much of a chance to write on here lately, with so much happening I've been soooo busy! I'm loving my new job so much that I'd rather be at work when I'm sick than at home resting. Honestly I'm ecstatic that I'm in the industry I love again! Oh how I've missed thee Event Industry!
Besides working I've been wedding and Birthday planning... Wedding plans are pretty much at the top of the priorities list but this month has been 2nd Birthday party plans... It's annoying though that I can't organise everything in advance for her party though unlike weddings.
So my daughter's 2nd Birthday Party is going to be a Fairy Princess & Lost Boys Dress up Party! I'm so excited I love birthday parties for kids so much that I was a children's entertainer for some time after high school. I even used to make cakes for family and friends for their little ones or brothers/sisters. I really enjoy it to be honest...
So in regards to my gorgeous little girl's birthday I've decided to try and keep it as healthy as possible, with a few exceptions of course...
Party Bags
Just using simple bags bought from the local major shopping centre to prevent too much work. Filling them with small tubs of play dough, a small handful of lollies (need a few of these at least) Some mini slinkies, bubbles, bracelets and fairy wands.. There are more girls than boys at this party so should be understandable right?
Special Gifts
So each child will be getting a ribbon wand as you would have seen in my previous blog post and I'm hoping to be well enough to sew some peter pan hats Inspiration and thanks to sew in harmony.
Games & Things to do
So our backyard is sooooooooo tiny we wouldn't be able to fit 5 children let alone parents too?! So we've opted for the 'Booking a picnic location' at a park. The location we've acquired is right nest to the playground too so that in itself is something for the kids to do. We have booked a facepainter for 2 or so hours as my daughter absolutely loved getting her face painted earlier in the year. I'm hoping to buy a pullstring pinata soon so they can each do that too. As most of the children will be around the age of two there isn't many games they can really play without getting easilly bored so playground was a must.
Decorations
Decoration wise, I will be pulling the ribbon wands open to make them flow through the breeze (hopefully) to decorate the area before each child will take them away. We are getting a bubble machine too which is exciting especially when kids that age love bubbles. Oh yes and it isn't a party without helium balloons so those will be just as present as the other things.
Food
So on the food front I was thinking BBQ something easy that all the kids and parents will love. Some cordials for the kids or poppers, and soft drinks for parents of course with tonnes of water. As snacks I will be making little cupcakes with rainbow belt lollies over the top making them look like a rainbow on top of the cupcake. I can't remember who showed these to me or where I saw them but thank you for such an inspiring idea! I also saw this post by my bride story in regards to a fruit and veggie bar! I thought it was brilliant and since it's spring down here I thought fruit is a definite winner with 2 year olds I cannot begin to explain my daughter's love of fruit and veggies so when I saw this I knew it was a burst of inspiration so thank you my bride story for such an amazing idea!
Cake
The inspiration for the cake came from no other but Wilton I am really looking forward to giving this a try I am so excited to be making my princess a castle for her birthday cake! Wish me luck!
Now to the reason why I am down in the dumps... I've been bed ridden for almost a week now. I am dying to get back to work I miss it... It turns out that I need a CT Scan of my back/neck as I may have slipped a disc in my spine or moved my facet joint in my spine. I am so over being in pain... And the above was a welcome escape for a little while. And it's all good to JUST be suffering in pain but to have a head cold as well where every cough turns into murder is not fun. I have been having coughing fits and everything and I am just sick and tired of having the pain in my neck, back, shoulder, arm and thumb. I can barely move and sleeping is non existent... I'm at the point where I just want them to fix me already. I have too much that I need to do and this unable to move and constant pain is not fair. Each day I think maybe I should just check myself into the hospital at least then they'd be able to help me sleep and get better.
Not even the pain meds are helping... They clear my headache pretty quick but apart from that I am still suffering. I wish it would just go away I am so over it. At least the above is something to look forward to, that is if I'm better enough to actually finish it.
Anyways I'm off. going to try and get out of this chair... And walk hopefully it'll be over with soon.
In pain, suffering and yet in fairly good spirits anyway.

Of Ribbon Wands and Birthday Parties
So my little girl turns 2 in September and me being the event
organiser/crazy person I've started organising everything early. In my
eyes earlier the better as you never know what could happen should you
leave things to the last minute.
We've decided on a Fairy Princess and Lost Boys Theme, I was torn since I have such a teenie tiny backyard so I've had to go all out and hire a location at the park. It was a half decent price to be honest and I'm quite happy we have the park for the entire day too So from morning when it opens to the afternoon when it closes so it will give us plenty of time to work everything out.
I think a few people think I'm insane organising a 2 year old's birthday party 2 - 3 months in advance, but being in the event industry I don't see the harm! Not only am I organising her birthday but a wedding for early next year too! I think it's in my nature... I've decided no set games... we'll have a face painter, lots of bubbles been blown from a bubble machine, a pull String pinata, Balloons, Peter Pan Hats, and ribbon wands. The last two hand made =)
So far I've got the wands complete. They are quite easy to make and not too expensive... Plus it's a good party bag gift considering Lollies will equal hyper 2 year olds which I don't think I could handle...
Once I've worked out the Peter Pan Hats with some help of hopefully another wonderful Young mum I will be able to show the world those too! Wish me luck!
I'm really relieved that I have a lot of my daughter's birthday party complete... I mean imagine how insanely stressed I'd be should I have left everything to the last minute right?

NICKI MINAJ!
I saw Nicki Minaj last night!! Got trampled on in the moshpit and woulda been right at the front since I had a VIP upgrade but was a good friend and waited! =D
The show was awesome! Nicki was beautifully gorgeous and as I would have imagined she'd be! Afterwards as a VIP upgrader I got to meet Nicki! I adore her so much! Her songs are amazing and if you listen closely all of her songs have a deeper meaning!
I was a little disappointed when her manager was being horrible we could only choose one thing to be signed and we couldn't even go to her while she signed it! I handed my VIP laminate across and the signing process seemed to be so rushed that the holographic side of my laminate was signed and rubbed off. I was so upset.
Nicki ended up foiling their plans though when she opened the blinds and window to where we were sitting and called out to us! The security guy called back saying they were bringing us in little groups when she said NO I want all of my barbz in here! She even blew me a kiss! =D
I told her all about my little princess loving her songs and dancing to starships in the car! She was absolutely elevated by the idea and said "Bless her soul! Give her kisses from me!" We took a photo and then I asked her to sign my boob Yeap got my boob signed! I mean I had my laminate signed and they wouldn't resign anything so what else was I gonna do?! I have a whole pile of pics of my signed chest =D I'll upload soon hehehe
All in all I had such an amazing night! I only wish her manager wasn't so crude! Nicki though was an amazingly beautiful soul and I wish her all the best with her career! LOVE YOU NICKI MINAJ!
Love

Waiting...
I'm so excited at the moment for two main reasons the first is that within 9 days there will be exactly 1 year until I get married!!! And that finally my fiance has decided on who his groomsmen will be! It's taken him over a year just to tell me his second groomsman and when I put a deadline on him I finally got the other two, so four altogether since he knew who'd be his best man! Now it's just a matter of having him ask them all! GAH!!! Yeah a year sounds like a lot of time and that maybe I shouldn't have put such a deadline on him but I would really like his groomsmen to know that he'd like to have them in the wedding party so they have the money to be able to pay for everything they'll need! Fair enough right??
Anyways the second and the thing I'm most excited about this year since it'll be happening soon is NICKI MINAJ!!! I absolutely love her and I so cannot wait to meet her!!! Yes I did just say MEET her since I have a VIP Upgrade which includes a meet and greet!!! I am so excited!! I cannot wait I've been counting down for ages now! 8 days to go til I meet you Nicki!!!
I am a little upset though.. As a really good friend of mine who is coming with me next Wednesday has just told me he's getting a cough and on the weekend he'd hurt himself at work! It's driving me mad that he won't take at least one day off to recuperate! I mean it's hard enough working 6 days a week!!!
Not only is all of this happening but another really good friend of mine is going into the hospital soon for an operation! I hope all goes well and it's a success for her! Love ya!
So I'm not going to make this a long long entry as you can see I could probably go on and on about everything but I have my little princess to look after who has just finished her breakfast of cornflakes! I might end up reblogging when she goes down for a nap though!
Anywho Ciao for now!

Deeply Saddened
I'm not sure whether I've mentioned this or not but I am an event planner I absolutely love planning events even in my spare time! SO I've been planning this event for a little while now and it's started to get me looking into things much more clearly which is absolutely wonderful as it will provide me with something to stand on when it comes to it.
So the event is called With Open Arms or WOA (pronounced 'WOAH') it's all about raising awareness of suicide and self harm. I've had someone I was friends with commit suicide and it hit close to home for me. So when I started actually looking into things I've realised how often it happens! Suicide and Self Harm in teenagers! It makes you wonder and you can't help but to feel for their parents, friends and families that they have left behind because they have committed suicide. It made me start to wonder what started it all, my mum has been sending me articles she finds in the news and what not and she mentioned trolls not knowing what they were as it's not well explained...
SO for those who don't know here is the term for TROLLS in the online community.
I've discovered that the platform Tumblr is the main source where there are people who are self harming or suicidal. They blog and post images on this page, they're calling out for help and support because they don't know who else to turn to and instead they are hit with brutal anonymous comments telling them how horrible they are, how ugly they are, how they should just kill themselves and be done with it. I am honestly completely disgusted and it makes me scared to think that my own daughter will be growing up in a world with such brutality.
The main person that has brought my attention to this is the recently deceased Olivia Penpraze who was just 19 years old, who posted on Tumblr about how she was feeling only to be confronted with hate and brutal anonymous comments which were still coming through after her death! You can read more about it all here. There is this post also, as well as Olivia's Video. It's so sad to know that someone has taken their life; cyber bullying being one of the reasons and I'm sure there's much more..
RIP Olivia and all of those who have taken their lives hopefully we can raise awareness to the youth of my area with our With Open Arms event to be held in May this year!

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Sick Much?
WARNING NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!
SOOOO .... My Little Princess has caught Croup.. For those who don't know what it is here is the dictionary meaning cause I really can't be bothered trying to explain...
Once everything was scanned and she had her milk and I had mine we walked quickly across to Kmart to check out prices on a few things... All the while our angel is sculling this little bottle of milk.. Once she was done she dropped the bottle and said more since I had some too... I went to give her some of mine when she started her coughing again! She insisted I give her more though and giving in to my sick little girl I gave it to her. What else was I supposed to do deny giving it to her when she's been sick for the past few days? Of course not the poor little thing has gone through so much disgusting medicine the least I could do is give it to her right?
So she's finally finished and we're getting worried about her as she won't stop coughing... My fiance gets what he was after as I'm walking her back in the trolley to the car, luckily he catches up and I take her out of the trolley and carry her across while she's saying mummy mama mummy... we get to the car and she's having a coughing fit. Just as I'm about to say hun I think we might need to take her to get further care she spits up a little bit of phlegm, so instead I ask him for a tissue while he packs the car with the groceries. Lo and behold she starts spitting up more so I go to wipe it away from her mouth and what happens??? Ready for it??? I get thrown up on! all over the side of my face, down my top, on my top, in my lap on my feet everywhere! Now I can't stand the sight, smell or sound of vomit! So I grab her with the little self control I have and yell to my fiance to take her and help her vomit the rest while I race out of the car looking for wipes or tissues absolutely anything to get all of this vomit off of me!!!!!
I finally start to get some of it off and whenever I look down at myself all I can see and smell is VOMIT! GAH the joys of being the mum! Vomitting myself all the while hearing my poor little girl calling for me and looking worried about me I decide that this is it, I am not going home in vomit clothes I will end up filling the car with it too! So I find a large jacket in the back seat of the car quickly rip my shirt off vomitting again as the vomit soaked shirt touches my face and quickly pulling the jacket around me so the passerby's don't realise I'm half naked on the way to being completely naked I remove my upper clothing without looking at the vomit. Realising then that I still had vomit all over my pants I strip them off too! Standing between the car doors and the sidewalk I find myself stark naked with the exception of a pair of underwear and a jacket in the middle of the street, all the while hearing my daughter continue to call for me. One of my most embarrassing moments... At least I didn't feel too embarrassed since I did strip in a public area!
So while my little girl clutches my hand as tightly as anything we drive home when I state well at least I can cross getting naked in a public street off my bucket list, as my fiance has a little bit of a chuckle!
Lesson to be learned? YES a big one....
Well I'm off to bed goodnight world!

SOOOO .... My Little Princess has caught Croup.. For those who don't know what it is here is the dictionary meaning cause I really can't be bothered trying to explain...
Croup is a common childhood ailment. Typically, it arises from a viral infection of the larynx (voice box) and is associated with mild upper respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose and cough. The key symptom is a harsh barking cough. Croup is usually not serious and most children recover within a few days. In a small percentage of cases, a child develops breathing difficulties and may need medical attention.Since this week is shopping week and really who trusts the male species to get everything you need we all went to the grocery store, I know what we need and well my fiance has the money, easier said than done right??? So going around I get to the cold section where they have the milk and more commonly the specials on the small cartons and tiny bottles of flavoured milk that we all know and love... Unable to reach the carton I wanted I managed to convince the other half to grab it for me since he is taller! While I grabbed a smaller bottle of calci-yum for our little girl as a little bit of a treat for sitting so still while we shopped.
Once everything was scanned and she had her milk and I had mine we walked quickly across to Kmart to check out prices on a few things... All the while our angel is sculling this little bottle of milk.. Once she was done she dropped the bottle and said more since I had some too... I went to give her some of mine when she started her coughing again! She insisted I give her more though and giving in to my sick little girl I gave it to her. What else was I supposed to do deny giving it to her when she's been sick for the past few days? Of course not the poor little thing has gone through so much disgusting medicine the least I could do is give it to her right?
So she's finally finished and we're getting worried about her as she won't stop coughing... My fiance gets what he was after as I'm walking her back in the trolley to the car, luckily he catches up and I take her out of the trolley and carry her across while she's saying mummy mama mummy... we get to the car and she's having a coughing fit. Just as I'm about to say hun I think we might need to take her to get further care she spits up a little bit of phlegm, so instead I ask him for a tissue while he packs the car with the groceries.

Tormented by the man flu!
So my fiancee is sick has been since last Friday. And as many women understand the man flu (which is a male that happens to be sick) is the end of the world as we know it. They become sooky, whiney, bitchy, and absolutely impossible to deal with and really there's only so much I can take, especially when I have our 17 month old Princess running around too.
I LOVE my fiancee SO SO SO SO SO Much don't get me wrong it's just when he's sick I don't wanna know anymore I can take a few days but a week?! Come on Doc where are the miracle meds that will unburden me from this pain! Last week I could handle it, then Sunday came and he was at home when I asked him to look after her while I went to an expo for our wedding. Do I have to hunnie? I'd really like to just try and sleep this sickness off just leave her with my mum.
So last minute call to his mum and it's all sorted.
Then comes Tuesday, sick as a dog even I have the ability to look after the little one and run after her and watch sesame street with her etc... What do I get instead I'm doing some things for an event I'm running in May and organising things for our wedding ie finding video's I like so I could show them to the videographer we have a meeting with later that night, So I ask can you change her, get breakfast etc and nope, sleeping he's instead sure that's great since it's quiet with the exception of the screaming child next to me and that he didn't get to sleep through the entire night, but hey nappy at least? =(
So anyways I finally get princess ready for swimming lessons and we're rushed out of the door at 9.40am only to get to the pools at 9.45am the class starts at 10.30am... a whole 30 mins to spare... I suppose it was partially our daughter's fault since she was getting her shoes out of the cupboard and walking round the house saying shoes shoes shoes shoes but hey didn't I mention that it starts at 10.30 and needa leave at 10?
I love my man so much I would prefer to have him than a million dollars! Money can't buy me happiness, but today was the last straw... I've been burdened with the pain where Aunt Flo arrives to visit for the week needing to do a number two I go up and start my business only to be sent a text message (yes I take my phone in there... Who doesn't? and why? So the ringing doesn't wake my princess, so I know to shut it off should it ring same goes for the home phone most days) who is the doc we visited on Sunday afternoon? I DUNNO.... It's on the card... Yea I don't have that with me... I left it there... Yea I'm in the bathroom it will take me a few moments, he was the only doc there on Sunday afternoon surely they'd know who that is! He doesn't get in til 4.... Ok so make the appointment for then instead... Ok...
It goes on but I will leave it to imagination when I say I get a second txt saying this is the third time I've gotten up...
AGAIN I LOVE YOU HUNNIE! But it's just the flu! At least you're not in labor for 12 hours! And I say this sincerely I love you please just live with it

Brides in Frustration & Anger
As the title states Frustration and Anger not Love... I've just got a little bit of a rant for the BRIDES IN LOVE store at Wetherill Park NSW!
Not Happy should be the term... I'm not sure if I've blogged anything about my wedding or not but I'm getting Married May 2013... Engaged on 1/1/11 we went bridal dress shopping a friend of mine and myself and then with my mum and sister... We found a gorgeous dress and I fell in love with it so what did I do??? Yeap you guessed it I put a VERY small deposit on it cause I absolutely loved it!!! And the salesperson in the store was absolutely lovely...
Now I've gone back into this store Brides in Love Wetherill Park with my sister the past Friday to look at the Bridesmaid dresses they had there and to let her try it on next to my dress... Now as per the statement next to my dress doesn't mean the dress on me per se I would be happy with a mannequin anything!
Anyways walking into the store which is completely empty, we found ourselves looking at an empty shop literally until we heard someone shout out we'll be with you shortly.. Clearly they were eating their lunch... So my sister and I browsed the various bridesmaid gowns they had, I think we went through them all maybe twice! So they had to eat their lunch before they served us! Finally when someone did come over we were confronted with a girl who seemed like she really didn't want to be there... So we say "Hi" Cheerily and continue with "we were just hoping to look at a few bridesmaid dresses and hopefully allow my sister to try a few on next to the dress I have on order." -- her reply was "Oh, how many times have you tried your dress?" About three being my answer when she then says "Oh well you can't try your dress on again because you can only try it on twice as per our policy." I was appalled! Not only did they finish their lunch before serving us but apparently I couldn't try let alone see my dress! This was when the girl suggested she'll speak to her manager Angela. We ended up looking at the same dresses another two times and then at the flower girl dresses and a few of the tuxedo's they had on show and then at wedding gowns when I turned to my sister and said lets just go to the other place, Classic's Formalwear.
We made our way back to the front of the store to leave when we were stopped by the manager Angela. She interrupted mine and my sister's conversation and has said that I can only try my dress on three times so they can't let me try it on again since I've already tried the dress on three times and have used up my allowance to try it on! I went to speak as I pulled my receipt out and instead she snatches my receipt off me I said to her I was told that I could try the dress on whenever I'd like during the week and she interrupts me AGAIN! And states "Well not without an appointment I don't know who told you otherwise!" So I've gone to say don't worry that's fine we'll just look at bridesmaid dresses elsewhere when she turns to me and says January is our busiest month and we can't go putting dresses on everyone that walks into the store! THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE STORE! The whole time this was happening she was ordering her employee to bring up my customer details she'd constantly say to the poor girl just bring the customer details up already!
So anyway they're doing something on the computer and she says to me you still need an appointment and she constantly interrupted me again and again! I've stopped taken a deep breath and said can you please stop interrupting me? I work in retail and I get interrupted when I'm trying to explain things all the time. So what does she do? "I've worked in retail for 20 years." What the hell? I don't need to know how long you've worked in retail I'm just making a statement about my work AND who's to say the only retail store she's worked in is that bridal store?!
So I end up saying look forget it and she interrupts me again so I say Can you let me finish! (Angry now lol) So she finally lets me speak, and I say again forget it we'll look elsewhere, taking my receipt back and saying to my sister lets leave.
As we turn to leave she says "fine we'll do it for you this time but never again." So my response No forget it as we walked out of that store! Good Riddance!
Good for everyone to know that I am cancelling my dress with the so called "Brides In Love" And have a deposit on another much more gorgeous dress elsewhere! Would LOVE to put pics of my dress up but can't since I don't want my fiance to see them! LOL Which brings me to another point after putting a deposit on my dress do you think they let me photograph it?! Not only that but I have spoken to their head office which is the place we were going to Classics Formal Wear and hopefully I can get a store credit for the amount or something =)
Lesson learned.... DO NOT go back into the store that was rude to you years ago hoping they have changed, find that ONE of the salespeople are nice and the rest rude because it'll only come back to bite you! Horrible people!

Avoidance
Had such an amazing day today! I enjoyed every minute dropped my little princess off to preschool this morning and headed out to the city with one of my friends.. We had such a wonderful time Wagamama for lunch, where we stuffed ourselves with so much food it was hard to walk out of there... Went to the book shop Kinokuko or something like that LOL!!! Where we looked at sex books LOL and romance novels and solved my dilemma of trying to figure out which Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novel I needed next! Dead Lock which comes out in May by the way! Then headed to Capitols where we were going to do those cute picture booths only to find they were charging $15 rather than the previous $8! Won me a baby cookie monster out of the skill tester which I've given to my little girl, ate ice creams and got stuck on a train without aircon...
So all in all I had a good day hanging out with a good friend of mine =)

Nerves of steel or maybe not...
So I've been driven insane the last few days. Who would have thought FaceBook Friends could be so horrible and assume things before they know the entire story?! Just because I've written something as my status does not mean that you should go and assume what I'm on about without asking me first OR that you should go and judge people! I think it's absolutely ridiculous! And then when you let people know that they've upset you because they've assumed and judged you they feel that it's a need to attack you AGAIN! So then you think you know what? I'll just put you on my restricted list so that you can't bug me anymore because you have the nerve to write things on my statuses so everyone can see it instead of private messaging me to find out why it is that I feel a certain way about a certain topic. So what do they do instead blow up on my WALL! LIKE WHAT THE F**K! How hard is it to press the button next to the post to wall one that says message? In the end I deleted the person it was getting too much for me to handle especially when they seem to constantly feel that they have the need to comment on everything I post! From Pictures to check in's to statuses GAH I was fed up of ignoring and deleting posts! Anyways those who really care about me and are true friends were the ones questioning me instead of blowing up or were the ones who went and consoled me. How hard is it to just let me write what I want? I might just have to create a separate account just so I can write how I feel without comments!? It doesn't matter anymore but I had to get this out of my system and write it down somewhere I have my diary but I don't want to sit down somewhere where I can't see the time and be late for work!
Anyways in regards to the main reason why I decided to sit down here.... Wedding Photographers... I think I may have messaged 20 or so of them just to get prices for an all day wedding shoot... I hate it when people don't advertise their prices online and have it easily accessible If I had known you are going to charge $4000 for photography for 4 hours I would not have emailed you.
In retrospect there are a few who are so wonderful and are willing to try and get the amount of time you need for a lower price closer to my budget.. I found one Phatography (look him up) My sister the pro photographer approves and so I have emailed him since he actually has his price for full day coverage on his web page! $1400 for all day unlimited images, all colour corrected or retouched on a disc delivered 2 weeks after the wedding well I think he's wonderful! He doesn't even insist on having an album included! (that's where they up the price) Well anyway from the 20 so far I've narrowed it down to three unless someone else comes along with a half decent price for all day and no albums! Wish me luck!
Anyway the other reason as to why I've decided to post is because I took my daughter to preschool today! I know she's going to love it but the heartache as she cries and doesn't want to leave my side is well heart breaking! I think she settled down eventually she really didn't like the Karen lady LOL and she didn't like the sand once the wind picked up.. I'm sure she'll be fine but still I worry... She's going to have the time of her life and not want to leave when I go to pick her up well that's what I keep saying to myself hoping it's true... I love her so much and I think I'm a tad overprotective actually scratch that COMPLETELY overprotective of her! Her daddy came with us for her first day and then she goes again on Friday I hope she's ok I really really do.... Which reminds me I'll probably call them once I get into work and check up on her...
So it's ten past ten and I start work at eleven so I think I should head off and get to work a little earlier and play games on my phone to pass the time and to make me think of anything but worrying about my little girl... OH MY GOODNESS I've just realised... What am I going to do when I go on my honeymoon?! Ohhh great wish me luck!

Cheers to the New Year!
So, I haven't written on here in a little while and though maybe I should, So just thinking of everything that's happened since.
So to begin with Christmas, was CRAZY! This year was the first year that I actually realised how crazy it is since it's the first year that Caliah is old enough to somewhat understand that something exciting is happening. It was so amazing seeing her actually running around wanting to open every present she had! The thing is though that even though it was all pretty much done for Caliah it was crazy for family members and friends that I had intended on giving a gift to. And it was crazy since I had for the first time forgotten to get those presents early too! I liased with Santa with Caliah's presents but when it came to friends and family I was buying for I completely forgot! Since those presents don't come from Santa, and are from our little family. So Christmas before it had arrived was already driving me insane! When Christmas Eve arrived I had cooked a roast dinner for us and my father-in-law since the mother-in-law was overseas I thought it would be good to invite him for dinner which was wonderfully simple. That night Caliah and I left Oreo's and Milk for Santa out and a carrot for good measure for the reindeer, although she wanted to eat and drink everything on that plate instead! I thought we should get that tradition started while she was young even though she doesn't completely understand! Christmas day was another thing it was great watching our little girl trying to open everything it was absolutely adorable! Christmas Lunch was with my Family and she fell asleep while she was eating her lunch! It was adorable! Then Boxing day was filled with adventure as one of our friend's had her birthday. So as you can see my Christmas was quite crazy afterall and I felt like we were extremely busy especially since the only day left was the Tuesday public Holiday and I had to work from 8am-6pm! I really would have liked that day to have a relaxing beach filled day with my little family instead of working =( which brings me to another point...
I really need to get out of retail work I am craving a chance to work in events again I would do anything to get into an event job at the moment I really miss it I miss the organising and the WBS and the Strategic Plans and the Event Orders and Site maps and floor plans and well I could go on forever! Sure I'm doing the event thing with LOUD Tribe but it would be absolutely AMAZING if I could just get back into the event industry and get paid for it! Anyone know of any jobs that don't require at least 2 years experience in the industry??? I have almost one year experience and a diploma with a Distinction Average I would do absolutely anything for an event job I'd prefer weddings and such but will go for almost anything! My work needs an event manager badly but I don't want to work on public holidays when I won't be needed but I don't see that happening they'll roster me on no matter what and I'll be stuck in admin forever...
I've been feeling wonderful besides all of this and have had the chance to go out with friends and new friends I have made over the past few months which is great and I'm hoping that some of my really close friends become somewhat free after the craziness of the Holidays! I had such an epic night the other night though! I only spent $30 and was drunk (drinks are $8 each) I kept having drinks shouted for me!!! It was so fun gotta love being a girl and able to work magic on guys LOL!
Well anyways New Years Eve was so funny! We were trying to defrost some meat to cook for lunch when our microwave that we've had for almost 4 years just died on us! I couldn't believe it! And so the hunt began for a new microwave, I called in to work and didn't get approved for GEM interest free finance and since we had a HSBC Interest Free finance card we decided to head over to Bing Lee Yea I know if I work at a retail store that sells this stuff why not go there? Well quite honestly cause we didn't really have enough money to just buy outright hence the interest free card and if we have one why should we go and get another? And since we can't put just $200 on the card we decided to get a new BIGGER washing Machine which I will be selling shortly. So YAY to the New Year starting out with a new microwave and washer!
All that's really left to talk about would be New Years in general, that night we went to a party and well discovered that Caliah absolutely loves fireworks which is strange for a one year old! Then we celebrated our 6 year anniversary and one year of being engaged by sitting at home just being a family which for once was refreshing! I've had quite an eventful month in December and I hope the New Year brings on many more happy memories! AND craziness since I'll be finally getting things sorted for our wedding!!!
Well so long for now!

So to begin with Christmas, was CRAZY! This year was the first year that I actually realised how crazy it is since it's the first year that Caliah is old enough to somewhat understand that something exciting is happening. It was so amazing seeing her actually running around wanting to open every present she had! The thing is though that even though it was all pretty much done for Caliah it was crazy for family members and friends that I had intended on giving a gift to. And it was crazy since I had for the first time forgotten to get those presents early too! I liased with Santa with Caliah's presents but when it came to friends and family I was buying for I completely forgot! Since those presents don't come from Santa, and are from our little family. So Christmas before it had arrived was already driving me insane! When Christmas Eve arrived I had cooked a roast dinner for us and my father-in-law since the mother-in-law was overseas I thought it would be good to invite him for dinner which was wonderfully simple. That night Caliah and I left Oreo's and Milk for Santa out and a carrot for good measure for the reindeer, although she wanted to eat and drink everything on that plate instead! I thought we should get that tradition started while she was young even though she doesn't completely understand! Christmas day was another thing it was great watching our little girl trying to open everything it was absolutely adorable! Christmas Lunch was with my Family and she fell asleep while she was eating her lunch! It was adorable! Then Boxing day was filled with adventure as one of our friend's had her birthday. So as you can see my Christmas was quite crazy afterall and I felt like we were extremely busy especially since the only day left was the Tuesday public Holiday and I had to work from 8am-6pm! I really would have liked that day to have a relaxing beach filled day with my little family instead of working =( which brings me to another point...
