Pillow Covers

Just before I started working I came up with one last project to keep me occupied.  I made some pillow covers for our new couch for our new place.  I haven't worked a sewing machine in a long time but somehow I worked it out.

Nearing months End

So January is coming to a close and still no sign or even whiff of a job.  It's a little depressing. I've sent out 1-3 resumes a day for the past 3 weeks and have heard back from ONE as a definite No. I would have hoped an e-mail or a msg in return from a little more than that.    Come on people I'm MORE than qualified for most of the positions, just give me a bloody chance to talk to you and prove it!
Up next another day of trying to beat heat stroke and rejection.  Hurray! 

Puppy Love

S.V. Is taking care of her brothers house while they're on vacation and she brought Maverick the Weimaraner over so he wouldn't be alone. He's honestly one of the biggest sucks you'll ever meet.  For such a big slobbery dog he acts like a whiny 2 year old. Missy the V's dog is a Red Heeler X (Mutt) and is much smaller than Mav so she was very cautious of him. Pretty funny to watch the two together.

It's Happened!

So Finally the day came! After phone calls and tears, panic attacks and stresses I finally got the phone call from my lawyer in Sydney..."It's come through, your visa has been accepted!" I was excited but somehow I think reality hit just as quick.  My life is going to do a back flip in the next few weeks! Of course I'm happy but life is scary and I'm scared.  I've had this feeling before, you know, when you've just graduated and now you have to go out and find a career.  Scary.  Now I have that feeling again. Go out and find what you want to do with your life but in a new country this time.  Scary.  I have until New Years Day off and then the pressure is on.  I do have a friend that's willing to help and she may make the transition easier for me we'll see how this goes. The only way to move on with your life is to live it.  Scary or not it's going to keep moving forward so now i just have to join in and keep up!

My vacation's over :(

*Taken by me out of boredom. Weird I know. But look how refreshing it looks.  Ahh!

So one thing led to another and i started to get angry.  Out of nowhere i turned bright red and steam started pouring out my ears, I was screaming and my head burst as I punched the wall and all my frustration and anger flowed out of me like hot lava.  OR .Truth. I boiled but the lid was on and it all got contained so I started crying and stayed quiet so I wouldn't wake anyone up. Hey!  it happens I'm a girl it's allowed every now and then...more often then not with me :( [how awesome is it that i have a boyfriend that puts up with me! :)] Anywho couldn't take it. I left! Just took off.  As soon as the engine of the car started I could feel the pressure starting to ease.  It's like a miracle! 1 min 32 seconds later I'm at the gym avoiding eye contact with the one person there working out at 12:00 AM and head straight for the shower.  (Where there's hot water) Taps on, amazing pressure, step under the spring of the gods and I've totally forgotten what I was so worked up about in the first place ( metaphorically). That's all I needed was a smooth car ride and a hot shower to make all my worries for the moment just disperse down the drain.  I don't know why but somehow these stress relievers work miracles.  You've heard of it before and seen people do it but this one time I could literally feel the angst, anger and frustration melt out of me.  So now i will actually lay back in bed tonight and sleep like a baby rather than toss and turn and get to sleep at 5 and wake up at 7 grumpy and pissed off for the rest of the day.  What a joyous occasion for everyone that has to deal with me tomorrow. haha Miracle! The whole point I'm writing this is for the person who reads this, the next time you feel like you've just about had enough and your about to burst!  GET OUT,     DRIVE Safe,   SHOWER it OFF!  (I add Safe to the driving part cause for the wrong person driving angry can be worse than driving drunk. Take it easy on the roads let the car ride be the stress reliever not that speed and swerving and crazy AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! of it. )                 Go.Ds.SiO!            or            G.D.S.O            try it :)

Perth Train Station

On the way home from class

Streets Of Northbridge, WA

Of course, like most people who have just a received a new toy (iPhone)[that's not even mine] you play with new features and apps.  I forgot my phone on my way to class so TR gave me his new one so i could call him when i was done.  So obviously i took a detour on the way home and took 360 degree photos of the streets of Northbridge and the train station :) Then when I got bored of that I played scrabble and won, yay!

Meth AdDiCt Jesus

So I've been working on illustrator playing with shapes and tools and what not.  Tried to do a drawing of Dave Grohl (winking) and it ended up looking like a Meth addicted homeless Jesus.  I have a lot of work ahead of me... lol.
