Weekend Excitement

So this weekend was all kinds of awesome for many reasons.


1. I earned some cash all day Saturday at work. (Obvious awesomeness)

2. Went down to Belgrave/Pakenham area to visit the family. So, got to see two aunties and half my cousins. Nothing better than paying $10 bucks to get out of the empty house and seeing family.

3. I got offered a paying photo job to do someone's Deb photos.

4. I've decided what to do with the holiday pay I've earned so far - buy an SLR camera - YAY!

5. Most importantly, I've been asked to go to America with a friend from work. Sweeeeeet
For obvious reasons, I'm most excited about this one. I've always wanted to go overseas, and to America especially. So any extra cash I'm earning (points above) will come in super handy. And camera will be awesome for taking photos overseas, and for earning extra cash in photo job. :D

So we're thinking about going in April/May next year. Flying into Maine, I think, and then roadtripping the rest, I think we're going from East coast all the way to West Coast. Sweet. So I need my P's.

And yeah. Excited.

Cheers, Alex.

Happiness

I realised today that I've been happier these last couple of weeks than what I have the last I'd say 6 months or so.

This is good.

I think I can pinpoint it to:
> Spending time with friends :D
> More responsibilities and potential promotions at work - Makes me feel pretty good
> Parental units gone again! ^_^
> Saw the fabulous Tim Minchin and it was hugs galore
> I've also been eating more regularly, which isn't necessarily contributing to happiness, but it makes me feel much better, and less stomach-achy.
> I'm budgeting a bit more, so not stressing about bills, and able to go out and buy drinks for friends and actually GO OUT.
> The music I've been listening to lately has really just kicked it all up a notch.

But yes, I think, just going out, having a social life and seeing friends has made all the difference in the world. Less loneliness, more happiness.
(Hehehe, as I wrote that 'Precious Love' by James Morrison came on.. In fact:

I'm linking it up, because that pretty much describes the way I'm feeling... well without the love thing..)

Anyway, thought I'd share that..

Also, got heaps of housework done today, so pretty psyched about that.

Cheers,
Alex

Amish

What are everyone's thoughts on joining an amish community..?

Blogging

OK. So I decided to start a blog, because I was getting sick of not being able to put more into my twitter updates... And I've got a lot of stuff that I think about, and needed to get it out of my head and into the world.

So, happy reading. I'm not sure how often I'll update..or remember to update, but I'll try and do it weekly.
