update

if your lost, hurt, tired or lonely
something beautiful will come your way


well 4 weeks ago i was 104.2kg and last saturday just gone i was 99kg. that's just over a kilo a week. it is slow, but it's happening. yay!

AND!! I put in my transfer this afternoon. It's very nerve racking - won't find out until novembers. that is 5 months away dude! oh well.

volunteer fire fighters - meeka brigade

well here is a first training session as volunteer fire fighters. on saturday morning claire, al and i went down to mount magnet and did introduction to fire fighting. we got to roll hoses, use the water and heaps of other stuff. i must say the mount magnet crew were awesome and so supportive. so thanks a lot guys!

International Rude Hair Day

well today is International Rude Hair Day. Alice and Naomi decided to make it up. I'm not really sure where they make these things up from. But we're all silly enough to join in.

well here i am again in the staff room

i think i look like a skunk

claire in pigtails with blue hair spray

pigtails were in this year at the day as leroy displays her wacky hair too!

al and johnno share a photo - yes alice is wearing pegs and johnno has a shower cap on

this is al after she took the pegs out. looks like she has pauline's perm. it's so full of life!

the road on

she was happy for a while, then she couldn't stop crying because they had both changed and he didn't love her in the same way anymore. the one thing she wanted to change to make her happy again was the one thing that was killing her inside. day by day she forgot who she was. being herself wasn't joyous and she needed someone else to make her feel better. but he wanted out and had had enough. could you blame him. looking back, i don't. when they finally did part i felt even worse than before. but, year by year, month by month, then day by day it became easier. when it felt ok she thought she would make contact. bad idea - one thing she wanted was to still be friends but he was still bitter and had moved on. so now i leave it and have nothing to do with it. i was once loved like that but it doesn't matter anymore. i have grown in so many ways and i am so much happier. plus, i realised that i have people around me who love me more than anything in the world. some are near here in meeka, and others are 800km's away but i feel closer than ever to you - family and friends.
so here i go, continuing on my journey to self discovery. just when you thought you have walked all the paths and you are happy, there is still more to learn. and it is the best feeling in the world. the only regret i have is not letting us go earlier so we could go on our separate ways to happiness. sorry to you and to myself.

and ang and liz, thanks for your call last night. i miss you guys like all hell (ang i miss you a million angels & liz i miss you a million lillies) and can't wait to hang out ALL the time. just six months to go. thinking of you guys always.

i'm so excited!

i'm so excited! this weekend alice, claire and myself will be going to Cue. We just joined the local fire brigade in Meeka. We have our first training session on saturday and sunday. bring it on sister! we will be taught how to use all the equipment and learn how to put out a fire. Yeah yeah yeah!

a repeated longing...

well i'm at the stage where i still wanna give up on being healthy every day. i'm tired, grumpy and stressed. but i know, i know, it's all gonna be worth it. my body is just resisting this majorily. and thanks to ang, mum and sarah for your support. the road is still long but i'll get there.


i am also sick and tired at the moment of waiting to find someone....to be loved. i know it's no big deal, and no matter how much i try to shrug the feeling off or keep busy, i still think about it. even in my dreams! but i think it's who i am *shrug* maybe. AND! man i'm sick of dreaming about shaun, how we are friends or nearly get back together but don't because something always gets in the way in the dream. don't worry i am clear i don't want to get back with him ever, it's just falling in love that i'm chasing. i guess i'm just whinging at the moment and feeling sorry for myself in many ways.

on a lighter note, i have seen the pics from the super heroes party. will put the pics up later this week. reports are due!! argh!!!

common sense

got this email today and thought isn't most of it true in our world today....


The Sad Passing of Common Sense


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend. Common Sense, who hasbeen with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was sincehis birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.


He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.


Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.


Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim.


Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.
