Update:
So my two week challenge thing with my sister came to a crashing halt last week.
I wasn’t feeling super well, so I decided to take a trip to the doctors. After a grip of tests I found out that there is something wrong with me…damn. It’s definitely treatable and I will be ok but I have to have a few more tests this week to figure out the right course of treatment. I’ve been...

Day 2
Great day today.
Started to the running regime again, and didn’t do too badly for 4 or 5 days off. I’ve decided I’m going to keep the rest of this week’s running casual and next week I’m going to ramp it up. I always find that about 10 minutes after I’m done I could’ve pushed for so much more, not sure if it laziness or boredom, maybe I should start...
DAY 1!! for real!
Ok so day 1 went really well.
Today was a non-running day so I did my 45 minutes for weights and the like first thing in the morning and then followed it up with a nice healthy amount of fruit for breakfast. Did some finishing touches around the house, which was basically painting the laundry door, damn i hate enamel paint!
Had a really good chat with T on skype which continued to lift my...
Day 1.....well kinda
So i started this 2 week bet/challenge thing with my sister and today was meant to be the first day. I was a little busy with a few things and made an executive decision that tomorrow will technically be day 1… I’ve always heard never start anything new on a Monday anyways…
well who cares? i’m committed not, and i got a new hair cut so i’m a little more motivated!

AussieWorld: Daguerreotypes →
My woman is pretty darn talented if I may so myself.
missbakkwudz:
In class today we took a look into Daguerreotypes and how they were made waaaaaaaaay back when. The image of a person, landscape, or even someone’s dog was formed on the surface of the silver plate that looks like a mirror. It can easily be rubbed off with the fingers and will oxidize in the air,…

Our bet.
So I was talking with my sisters today. I must admit I have been known to be a little “preachy” or known to “brag” about my healthy habits and exercise regime. Today though I was called out. Basically I was asked by my sister S “if you are so into getting healthy and all this crap how come you drink more than you should and smoke sometimes?” She called me out,...
Back to it.
I havn’t visited for a while now. Things have been so damn busy since I’ve been back in Australia. We’ve been helping getting out family home ready for sale and its finally done, and looks amazing I’ll be posting some photos soon. Apart from that I’ve been trying to find things to fill in time waiting for my U.S visa to come through, what a painstaking process. Oh...

glutenglee:
I originally posted this on my personal blog, but thought it was so good I’d share here!
While we were both feeling totally sick. we decided that baking would make us feel so much better. Betty Crocker to the effin’ rescue. We made these crazy Rocky Road Cookies. Theys were soo rich that I think…

glutenglee:
Our lives have been taken over. It’s like one day we woke up, our lives rendered boring unless we could spend a couple of hours (or all day) doing this one thing. That one thing ladies and gentlemen, cooking. Not just throw some frozen crap in a skillet for ten minutes cooking (though on the…
Learning
So yesterday afternoon I went to a place I havn’t been to in years. The Library.
Now that I am finding myself with more time on my hands, I want to return to studying just to further myself. T is going back to uni in a couple of weeks and I thought the best place to start would be with her subjects. That way we can learn along side each other! She is doing 2 subjects this term, Chemistry...

The plan.
I’ve always loved running. Luckily for me I’ve always seemed to be somewhat good at it as well. Recently I have decided to take my casual ‘every now and then’ jogs to the next level. My ultimate goal is to run a marathon, but I’m going to start small. I’ve set myself the goal of running a 5k race by the end of the year. Not only do I want to just run but I want...

Back in Melbourne.
The time had officially come. I double checked the visa stamp in my passport for the 100th time but it still read the same thing in blue ink. My P1 visa expires Sept 09. Well it was kind of lucky I guess, it was meant to expire a lot earlier but for some reason the customs guy on the way in gave us an extra 10 days, so i cant complain I guess. To be honest it was definitely the easiest leaving has...

I was sick and hungry, so he cooked for me one of my new favorite soups! The best part? I saved some and put it in the freezer for anytime I want some more.
I decided to try my hand at making Zucchini bread, but we only had half the eggs, so Zucchini muffins it was! Damn good muffins too!
SUCCESS!!

So I did this:

Getting faster.
My run was really good today. I managed to shave off a minute from Monday’s time which was great considering i didn’t really feel like i was going much faster. After i rinsed off i decided to check my pace with local 5k finishing times and turns out I’m doing pretty damn well in relation. Especially since this is really only the second full week.
After being in such a good mood...

So I thought I would re-start my blog today. I was so motivated last time but in the end laziness and procrastination won out. oh well. I decided that with so many changes in my life going on right now it would be good not only to let loved ones at home know what I’m up to as managing phone calls through the time difference is a bitch but also to keep myself on track and motivated in the...

An act of preparing.
Today was our 4th day of playing together again, and all in all everything is going really good. It can be pretty difficult at times being trapped in this tiny room for hours on end but we have been keeping things interesting by changing and improving our songs, in part to put on an interesting show for our upcoming headliner, but probably more so for us to entertain ourselves.
Either way its...
