Don't much like it myself Michael!!! Looks very disorganised to me. Why they keep changing things I don't know :(

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds like a really exciting day Jess:) Glad you enjoyed it, but maybe if you were the lawyer, it mightn't be as enjoyable?

When I did mine a thousand years ago, I worked in a library. It was pretty much quiet all the time. The librarians convinced me not to become a librarian."

That's a shame Gail, I reckon it'd be great to be a librarian:)

I was always put off by ppl who worked in a lib..they always looked depressed but then i learnt through a friend (who is one) that they can be quite a bitchy group of ppl to know and wouldn't recommend being one either..lol

I've been a librarian at school agggeeesss ago now..I found it fun. And the head librarian was thrilled with everyone who did the job that she took us to maccas for dinner as a thanks...Okay, okay...We were only in primary school..lol but still...I remember it fondly :P

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Again, I'd love to work in a library:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome back Carmel:) I can imagine how much you have to catch up on...I have just (almost) completed our catch up, and we arrived home Thursday >.< I'm not sure we had many clothes left in the cupboards, they seemed to all need washing ;D

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Woah!!!!!! 9 pages!! You should have turned it off before you left;D Perhaps you need to get your eyes checked, and your glasses updated, maybe, if they're sore already?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes, that would do it:(

[Neko]

wb carmel :)

[★ Jess]

Welcome back Carmel!

Im feeling pretty sad at the moment: At the exact time last year, I was on a plane bound for Kuala Lumpar, which would connect me to London. Now I am about to set the table for dinner. Sadness :(

On a happier note, one of my friends came over today, George. We decided to play tennis, a three set match. He is a really sporty guy-yet I beat him. I won 2-6, 6-5, 6-6 (7-5 tie break). So that was pretty exciting :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Jess, that's a great result! Don't be sad...at least you have the memories of that trip:)

[Megan]

Just watched you guys rugby game :) time for a drink now...

Hi Jess, funny coincidence - I had 3 sessions at Downing St Courts in Sydney for work - just to improve our understanding of court procedures. So we were in the civil court and then the criminal court. It was very interesting, but also incredibly intimidating imagining being the people involved!

I did my work experience at a vet and also at the CSIRO Division of animal production - ended up doing arts law when i didn't geet the marks for vet and finally I'm now an editor (in a library!)

I was thinking about that today Michael, and wondered how the appointment went! What date in November?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good luck with it Michael, I guess it won't take long for that date to come...horrible thought, only a month till Christmas then:(

[★ Jess]

Oh no! I just found out that we've run out of milo! Guess whos going for a walk to the shops.

[Amber]

Can't believe that one of my nieces is 18 today! Doesn't seem that long ago that she was a tiny bundle in the hospital :)

Haha!! Definitely! Mmm!! Nutella;D

[★ Jess]

Nutella on wheat bix is amazing. You should try it.
Oh, and I just ate the last wagon wheel, so I'll have to buy some more after school tomorrow.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Jess, you should have got some wagon wheels when you bought the milo;D Lots of things on weetbix are amazing!!!

[★ Jess]

Well, I thought we had heaps of wagon wheels. There was a whole packet! But then I was hungery, and ate them all. Such a fatty :P

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh Jess!!! As long as you enjoyed them:)

[Megan]

I don't even know what a wagon wheel is.

Nope, never come across them - they look kinda like a flat mallowpuff - mmm mallowpuffs

[★ Jess]

Well, I'm watching the Olympic games soccer qualifier at the
Moment, so might ask dad buy some at the petrol station on the way home :)

sigh I became allergic to marshmallows :(

cant believe you ran out of milo!
we have about 15 kilos of it here :D
(my brothers and I drink it alot...we also go through about 9 liters of milk a week...I LOVE milk :D)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow Melanie!!! So much milk and milo!!! Sad about marshmallows:( But lots of other yummy things out there:)

[Jessy]

So I am just about packed and ready to travel on down to my hubbys athletics championship in Townsville. I have my books packed and I can't believe I am doing this but I have been given a copy of Twilight. I tend to fight against massive hits of books or films until the dust has settled then I watch them or read them. For instance every one was mad about Harry Potter and are still and I didn't watch that until a month or so ago and enjoyed it I sadly must admit lol

But with Twilight I faught real hard not to read it or watch it cause of the teeny bopper factor lol Anyhow, my friend being a Twihard is that the right term has forced me to read it so....wish me luck I am going to need to summon my patience to read this one!!

Milk and milo are the greatest consumable things ever. Im going to make myself a cold glass right now, actually. Full cream milk is the greatest. Everyone things Im weird for not drinking low-fat milk, but Im not gonna lie, it tastes like water. Its gross.

Emplying super speed reading tactics helps - it's pretty hard to accidentally miss anything important - everything is carefully spelt out and then repeated multiple times. I think by the last book I ended up skipping whole chapters :D

I don't think you're weird - full cream milk is awesome in milo and most other things. Tea on the other hand cannot be made with anything other than trim. Sadly that means I just live on trim. The perfect cup of tea wins out.

[Jessy]

lol gee that doesn't sound so encouraging lol

[Megan]

Jessy wrote: "lol gee that doesn't sound so encouraging lol"

Nah - it had fun parts, only the quality of the writing and the excessive amounts of teenage gush get a little tiring, so you just skip them out :D

[Jessy]

ohhhh teenage gush how I miss those years I am to close to 30 then I wish to be, might be refreshing to relive some vicariously lol

I know, its my bday in a couple of days and I'm freaking out at how scarily close to 30 I'm getting, maybe I should read something similar too to cheer me up

[Jessy]

lol I think so

I think townsville isn't far enough away from your house to get rid of it.

Anywats welcome to my world (townsville that is) makes sure you visit Juliette's for good coffee :)

Thanks Carmel - I try to remember that :D sometimes wish it was 30 this year tho, just to get it over and done with. I've heard your 30s are a fun decade.

So true, Brenda! I'm so proud of all my nieces and my only nephew - they range in age from 31 to 10 (and I love that my eldest niece is older than me - I can call her an old git safe in the fact that I'm not yet 30 lol)
