Actually this is really just going to be a short little entry because I’m chasing my tail around and around trying to get various kidlets together for school and kinder.

Where to start?

Hmmmmm, WELL…. The last few days have been good! On Tuesday Em and I went to Knox… Having not been to Perth since I was a tiny tacker myself, I can’t actually remember much! We strolled around and Em bought a few nice things (with the assistance of my general persuasion)…Apparently we’re not too good for each other when it comes to the magic of retail therapy. Neither of us is particularly good at holding back on a scoop purchase and neither of us is particularly good at dissuading the other of making that scoop purchase! I guess that’s what you get when you put two Aquarians together. Needless to say, we’ve been quite busy the last couple of days.

Emma got her hair done yesterday and I think it looks bloody fantastic. She had it cut short (it was quite long) to her shoulders, highlights and a side swept fringe. It’s really very chic. I couldn’t afford to go to the hairdresser so I’ll just do something naff like run a packet colour through it. I really do need a cut though. Hmmmmm.

We then went to the tanning salon (for her). Once again I was going to join her but we had a few unexpected bills so I decided against it. I did discover a new invention they had at the solarioum though and it’s called "The Detox Box!" At first a serious of very rude and inappropriate images ran through my head before I realised that it was somthing like a sauna. Having said that once I got speakin to the solarium lady about it I found out that it’s actually much better than a standard sauna. It’s an "infrared sauna!" Anyway she was saying that it heats up to about 50-60 degrees (wowzer) and when cellulite is heated up to 43 degrees or more it actually becomes water soluable (because as a lipid it’s not)… I dunno that’s going into nurseybiology stuff and we all know i’m not great at that!) which means that it can be sweatedout along with toins etc etc. The 25 minutes you do in this detox box is the equivilent of a 10 km run! I was "where do I sign???????"

Last night we decided to go and see a movie (at the last moment I wasn’t needed at work) so we dragged ourselves into the Jam Factory to see ‘The Brothers Grimm.’ I guess I hadn’t seen too much of a trailer for this film so I thought it was going to be funnier… dunno why, I DO know that the Brothers Grimm were rather infamous for their maccabre fairytales. Anyway I’m kinda 50/50 on my thoughts of the film. On one hand I liked it and on the other I didn’t. I’m not usually a big one for dark and strange movies so I kinda was a bit peeved and I’ve never really liked the idea of enchanted or magical forests (especially when the trees move!!!) but there were some funny bits and towards the end I had to giggle a bit so maybe it wasn’t so bad.

Today was a totally different day. The rain started early and we just couldn’t get motivated to do ANYTHING! I forgot to bring the clothes in of the line and we kinda just bummeda round for the better part of the morning (after I had taken kids to school etc etc) before I had to leave to pick my mother up from the school she teaches at. The driving rain irritated me and the car windows fogged up. Mum was hungry so we decided to stop in Burwood for lunch which was nice. I’m now full so I don’t think i’ll need dinner. Ugh.

Have to work tonight and just CANNOT be fagged.

Ahhh welll.

Take care all.
