Working on....

EVERYTHING!!!

Is how i am feeling right now.

Ok after writing the above line i thought "Oh shut up Nikki" and "Get a grip"

I awoke this morning thinking "Today i will use positive words and actions". This is how my day went

PW*: "I'm going to put on a calming CD to listen to while driving to work".
WH*: My old CD got jammed and now it wont play anything.

PW: "I'm going to call and see how the are going on letting us stay for 2 more weeks"
WH: "Sorry but we cant let you"

PW: I enquired about 7 places to inspect on Saturday
WH: An hour later i heard from 5 to say they have already taken applications so its not on

PW: I got paid today
WH: I brought a pack of MM's :)

Its a happy ending :)

Wish us luck tomorrow seeing the 2 places left :)

* PW means positive word or thought
* WH means what happened

Ha ha thanks for the reminder universe :)

Rambling on about- MOVING!!!

Oh why is moving so stressful!

We have had no luck with the landlord extending our stay. So in about 3 weeks we have to be out!!! NO FAIR!!! why did they have to sell? OK sulking time is over.

This Saturday we will be looking for places (in Sydney, as w have had no luck yet with Adelaide work). i tell you looking for a rental here in Sydney is just like being on the show "The Amazing Race". 12 other couples looking at the place and then everyone dashing off to the next one.

Keep your fingers crossed for us :) And wish us luck!!

I love- Cheesefest

Almost two weeks ago we went to Adelaide for : Cheesefest 2010 http://www.cheesefest.com.au/about.php

Ah it was amazing! I wish i took lots of photos of the stands but sadly i sat down, a bottle of wine and food suddenly was there and i didn't move :)

I ate so much cheese i thought i was going to be sick and then drank enough wine to make me think " I am a awesome dancer, I'm so going to bust move".

Cheesefest cost $15 how cheap! Then wine is about $18-$34 a bottle, $6-$8 beer (expensive), and amazing food from $6-$20. What i love about it all is that you sit there sharing everything and hopefully its with people you like (lucky for me it was).

Our wine of choice


John beer of choice



Mmm chocolate waffles

Tuesday- Changing my thinking on

How to deal with stress.

Old way: Freaking out and hiding

New way: Make a list

Now i make lots of lists but when i get really overwhelmed i hide :)

But we need to be out of our place by the 20th November and if anyone has tried to rent in Sydney you know why i would rather hide :)

This weekend we will be looking at places and finishing up packing what we can.

All About..... John

That beautiful man is my love....John.

John is an amazingly talented artist/designer. His pictures/painting/furniture are AWESOME. But like all people who have a natural talent he just says "Oh its not that good".

A few random things about my love

* He slurps his tea

* He loves good food

*He is an amazing cook

*He is learning Japanese

*He likes to sing random songs and do little dances when getting ready for work

*He makes me smile

Love this man!!!
