Hot & Not Wednesday

Posted Wednesday 9 December 2009 and filed under: Just Sharing

HOT

>> I love this quilt! Shapes, colours, texture - it has it all!

>> Print sale happening over at Hide and Seek. Reminisent of illustrations from vintage story-books but with a bit of ’strange and slightly sinister’ thrown-in (I am definitely a fan!)

>> Music from Glee. After much prodding from my bestie, I finally picked up a copy of the CD and started listening. I haven’t been able to watch many episodes as they are usually on when I am putting the girls to bed, but I like the music. And I’m actually thinking some of their covers are better than the originals :-)

>> Pretzels and Ice-cream. Okay, so after my previous be-moaning of moving to a new office location I am finally warming up to the place, and mainly because it is quite close to some good food. And when I say ‘good‘ I really mean ‘unhealthy‘ :-) I have found a place that sells nice, cheap but very yummy 200g tubs of ice cream in durian, green tea, taro, mango and ferrero roche flavours amongst others. Also, I have discovered a very convenient short-cut between where I park and Pretzel World, which now supplies me with breakfast (and that reminds me, I need to get me one of their ‘Loyalty’ cards). This all, of course, means that I need to run more.

>> People who laugh like Muttley the Dog. Remember him? Remember his laugh? I love that laugh. It makes me laugh everytime I hear it. I don’t know why.

>> Being able to connect with other people who like to run through this blog. I always wonder whether I should share my running escapades but now I’m glad I do because through commenters I’ve found some great running tips and maybe even a half-marathon training plan for next year! *happy dance*

>> Ava finished Prep today. It has been such an amazing year for her. As her Mum, I am so proud of all the things she has learnt and accomplished this year, especially the new found confidence and a developing attitude that yes, she can do it (instead of giving up on things on the first fail).

NOT

>> Nothing really . . . except for the toilet paper issue . . . yup, that’s been ongoing . . . but overall it’s been a good week :-)

    Jho, your posts always entertain, they are great! Drooling over the durian ice cream and laughing at the toilet paper issue (don’t worry, we still have that problem too).

    I love to read about your running because it prompts me to be better and go and get some exercise, so thanks. :)

    I love hearing your running stories - they remind me I’m suppose to be running too!

    I am addicted to the Glee soundtrack too. Love the 80s power ballad - Alone :)
