This n That

I don't have anything exciting to report ~ just same shit, diff day really but let's see...

~ Friday night I went to see an AC/DC tribute band. I was far enough away (or maybe it's just old age screwing up my eyesight) that they looked like the real thing and more importantly, sounded like the real thing.

I wasn't as excited as when I saw Babba (the Abba tribute group) but the voice is still a little husky lol.

During the night as I was making my way through the crowd to the loo it felt like I'd kicked something. On my way back I was confronted by a big, mean looking dude who said I owed him a drink seeing I'd knocked his over. I looked up (and up and up and up lol) and said "sorry but I owe you nothing, what kind of idiot puts his drink on the floor anyway?" and then I bolted lol. I was with 2 karate guys, a black belt and a brown belt, so I knew I'd be pretty safe if I made it back to them hehe.

Anyway, I noticed on my way out that this place has regular tribute bands (I missed Bon Jovi a few weeks ago damnit) so I might make this a semi-regular outing from now on.

~ My footy team (Essendon Bombers) won last night (ABOUT TIME!) so yaaaaaaaaay

And that's about it for my oh-so-exciting life at the moment. Today I'm going to try and beat the rain and do some weeding and if I have time later on, take a drive up the mountain for a yummy Devonshire Tea.

Toodlepip for now :)

How did this happen?

I can't believe how quickly the end-of-month stuff has come around again. If things weren't busy enough lately, I'm not only trying to get the routine things done but also correcting the million and one mistakes I've been finding everywhere. Lordy knows how long things have been like that but things like that drive me nuts. Oh btw, I'm talking about work - I keep racing ahead of myself.

Sposed to finish around 3.45 on Tuesdays so I can lead-foot it back to pick the bratski up from karate but I didn't make it home till around 8pm last night. I had today off but this is the first time I've sat down all day. No wait, I lie ... I parked my ass in the dentist's chair for 30 minutes earlier.

Apart from that load of drivel, there's not much time for anything else. We had a kickass storm here over the weekend (I only just worked out it was the weekend, earlier I thought it was only a day or two ago). I heard on the news a gigantic tree came down not far from me but I'm not sure exactly where and I thought it was terribly inconsiderate of them not to give out the address so I could go and load the boot of my car with firewood ;)

Gonna wrap this up now because I'm only babbling and I want to try and get around to you all to see what everyone's up to.

Ta ta for now :)

A quickie

* I've worked so much overtime I've jumped up a tax bracket, fuck it ... but pulling a swifty and, well, I won't say anymore *waves to Big Bro at the ATO* :P

* Got my car back FINALLY! Best it's looked for a long time. They cut and polished it too whereas I usually park it in the rain to wash it hehe.

* I've turned on comment moderation, which might be a pain in the ass considering I don't get on much these days but at least the rest of you won't have to see the idiocy of Tweedledum and Tweedledee any more.

* Delved a little deeper into my stats last night and discovered a few interesting tidbits which I won't talk about here (and this will make no sense to some of you but I know what I'm talking about) ;)

* Ummm, there was something else but I've forgotten.

Anyway, miss you all and hope to catch up soon.

Happy weekend everyone!

It's been so long...

...I've almost forgotten what I used to do online lol.

Gone are the days when the first thing I used to do when I woke up was switch on the comp then make a coffee.

I can go days at a time without bothering about it and I can honestly say I don't miss it at all. I miss catching up with my little circle regularly, but that's all.

I'm busy, busy, busy with work these days and by the time I get home and do all the mum things and get organised for the next day, all I want to do is veg out in front of the tv before bed.

Weekends are now spent driving kids here, there and everywhere, catching up on housework, giving the evil teen driving lessons (she's really good btw) and spending maybe an hour at most deleting spam lol.

Major events this week were:

1. Smashed the car on Thursday morning on the way to mancub's school. Nope, I wasn't a happy lil vegemite. We're both ok but my car and the other guy's car are dead. I'm carless for about a week so I'll have to arrange something today so I can get around next week.

2. It's mancub's 12th birthday today :) Which means I have to get my ass offline now and walk to the supermarket to get supplies for when his friends come over later on. He's having a small 'gathering' (as they call it these days) as opposed to a 'real party' lol. They're sleeping over so a houseful of raving lunatics ... oh what joy ;)

For now, that is all.

Happy weekend everyone.
