Soooooooo
I don’t get stressed. But oh-boy, oh-boy I am stressed right now. (so. yup. I suppose I can’t say “I don’t get stressed,” then can I?) And it’s awful-awful. So much to do. So little time. And what is that annoying feeling in my stomach? Be gone anxiety! Be gone! I fly to New Zealand tomorrow at 6:30pm and I work (yes, work) up until 3pm And right now my eyes feel so heavy,...
Australia Day!
The first time I really ever saw Melbourne (besides online image searches) was when I was sitting on the couch with my parents watching the Australian Open. Between matches, they would zoom out and show Melbourne. And they’d let the viewers on the other side of the world know it was Australia Day in Melbourne; January 26, 2012: and my dad looked over at me and grinned, “you’ll be...

G to the Day ma mateys, arrrrr (<— an Australian Pirate). And how are we today? Cold? Nonsense, it’s reaching 35C today. Tehehehe I only type this because my Facebook news feed is like The Weather Channel right now. Minus their music, of course. (And I’m sorry I’m not sorry I wrote “tehehehe”).
Anywho, the bad news bears visited me on Tuesday and I lost my wallet....

WatchA 13 second time lapsed sunset from last Friday night.
Matt took a photo every minute, on the minute – and he just emailed me this. Keep an eye out for the dog that crashed our party about half way through J

A First Date & A Lesson.
You’re supposed to learn something in every relationship you have; learn what you like; what you don’t. Learn a little bit more about yourself, or how to compromise. You get an in-depth look into another someone’s life, and through that, get to better understand your own.
It’s no secret I haven’t been in many relationships. Matt is my first real (non-asshole) one...

Words from my Weekend
Friday
a surprise (paleo) picnic
on an isolated beach down the coast

124 photos (on my iPhone & SLR)
and catching up with friends at midnight (hi Amy, Nat & Elaine!)
Saturday
a CrossFit workout - which I’m still feeling today (see Twitter for proof)
then a brunch with two...

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013
I messed up today. I went to bed late last night & woke up early; tired. And my work day? bus-y. I left my beautiful, healthy Paleo lunch in the fridge (see? tired) And for some reason, and the first time in a long time, I said “screw it” And then lo and behold today was the day my office celebrated January’s birthdays. (there’s always something, isn’t there?)...
My 5-Minute Eyes
It needs to be said (well not really “needs” per se, but I’m gonna say it anyways), I’m not a huge makeup person. True, I used to be, way-back-when, when a knee-high kilt graced my knees each day at school, but now? At the ripe old age of twenty eight? Most mornings I just can’t be bothered. Sleep > Looks. (I know, 16-year-old Liz would gasp! But then again she...

Why I think YOU should sign up for the Chicago...
Because it’s something you never-ever-ever thought you could do.
Because it’s something you CAN do. I cross my heart and promise you that.
Because I also can’t even run one kilometre yet (and umm, oh hai there imperial peeps, that’s less than a mile I can’t run…YET)
Because it’ll be the best thing you’ll ever do. EVER.
Because it’s an experience of a lifetime.
And you’ll get...

2013.
In the past few weeks I’ve read a lot of “I’m not a resolution person” posts, so much so I felt a little weird writing this out, but the truth is, I am. I love goals. And I do well with goals. So, me being me, wanted to do a post on goals.
But first, let’s talk about the past few years’ goals:
2010
On October 21st, 2009 I declared I wanted to run a “full...

Today shall forever be known as… The day I woke up at 7:48am. My bus for work leaves at 7:41am; panic. I threw on a dress, grabbed my CrossFit gym clothes and I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth (no time to pee!). I was out the door at 8:00 on the dot; Phew. Okay. I can still make this work. THEN. I called my boss and left a message apologizing about my failed alarm and informing him...
Au Naturel
G’day Mates
Well aren’t y’all looking dapper on this warm, summer Friday arvo? Hush children. Hush. Minor details it’s the dead of winter and/or night in your neck of the woods and you don’t speak Australian (arvo = afternoon).
Oh, why am I so chipper, you ask? Perhaps because the scale gods beemed their little battery hearts up at me this morning, and I was down in weight (high-five!).
But the...

Oh. Oh Hello There.
My bus was only 2 minutes late this morning. Jazz-hands for Melbourne Metro, because that is impressive!
I forgot to weigh myself this morning. Yup. Just like that. Completely forgot. Well I never…
I received 46 emails today. I know, I know, it’s such bad etiquette to say a number, but everyone brightened my day and I am doing my best to respond. Merci!
I ate paleo-perfect today...
I am always amazed at the kindness of people; the kindness of strangers. I find when I’m a hot mess, and usually at a ridiculous hour of the night, I like to write. And then for some terrible reason, I hit ‘publish.’ And then I wake up, and for a moment in time am fine, but then I remember, and subsequently forget to breathe. I then lay in bed and want to hide from the world;...

i was. am. in a bad mood tonight. finding an inch thick stream of ants in your kitchen (again) will do that to you. it was so disgusting. and i got annoyed; mad. mad at everything, mind you. and i carried that mood back to my room and onto the phone with matt. i was a bitch. about what? i don’t even know. and then to my roommate for leaving food out. rarely i involve myself in household...
