Jess is BACK!
We went for a wedding. Sarah looked stunning and had eyelash enxtentions (they were pretty on the day but scary the day after the wedding. So LONG!!!) the setting was charming. All pretty and green. but it did get cold, very very very cold (well it was cold to a queenslander)
i also spent a day in the city shopping (Of course) and brought many pretty things (i may have a shopping problem) and some silly things aswell. my favorite item that was purchased is a knee length coat. it's black and warm and looks pretty good on (if i may say so myself) but silly Jess lives in queensland and won't get to wear it for another 6 months or so now.
i got to see all my cousins. the little ones are so much bigger now and they keep growing up on me. they've got mobiles, jobs, lives, boyfriends/girlfriends (Scary thought when in my mind they're still 7) they're on learners, and P Plates and in highschool (most of them are finished) and it's all so changed and somehow it's still the same.
anyway must go, there's work to be done ;-)

walking on sunshine
And I found it in one particularly cheery number…Walking on Sunshine.
Yes I can hear your gasps of shock and your exclamations of pleasure from here. It’s so much fun to sing. Be it in tune or out of it this song manages to pep me up and blast me full of energy till the end of the day. So in the morning Ryan is often roused from his slumber by the loud and off-key singing of Jess in the shower.
So now I shall share the lyrics I regale my household with each morning.
I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I’m sure
And I just can’t wait til the day, when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mail box, gotta hold myself down
‘cos I just can’t wait ti l you write me you’re coming around
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don’t it feel good
And don’t it feel good
All right now, yeah! (HEY!)
I used to think maybe you love me, I know that it’s true
And I don’t wanna spend all of my life just waiting for you
I don’t want you back for the weekend, not back for a day
Baby, I just want you back and I want you to stay
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I’m walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don’t it feel good
And don’t it feel good
All right now, yeah! (HEY!)
All of this is accompanied by much arm waving and silly, over-the-top dance moves (those of you who’ve had the unfortunate displeasure of seeing this unusual and unnatural , happen-once-in-a-blue-moon …it can only be called a thing because it certainly isn’t dancing…know that it’s downright painful to watch) and much off-key wailing on the “ohhh-ohh-oh”
now i am off to create madness and mayhem (because it's fun) within the office. i think i shall start by pulling the pens apart and switching the colour of the ink.

south of the boarder
Hola espectadores del blog del compañero
Soy el llegar justo antes de que usted comience a cantar la canción de la actualización. No hay realmente una porción entera a divulgar así que pensé que haría este más interesante haciendo este poste en español. Yay para la lengua hermosa que es españoles. Es verdad encantador. Y tienen sombreros de la diversión y comen los gusanos que han estado flotando en el fondo de una botella del tequila para la calidad saben cuanto tiempo.

rain
i also couldn't help thinking "please God, the water tanks are full, the plants have had a feeding, our pool (that was empty yesterday) now has plenty of water that we're only going to pump out again and the ground is now moist and spongy. Please take this rain and put it in our dam. Our dam needs water so we can continue to shower, drink, wash dishes, and do numerous other things we don't think about. oh please put it in the dam."
but then i thought, "stuff it, he knows what he's doing. Good on you God, you rock socks dude."
and then i went to sleep.

gotta love that nightlife
Parody of I Love The Nightlife - Alicia Bridges
Please don't talk 'bout my freakish weight
Please don't talk 'bout ' pimples
Please don't talk 'bout ' way I chew
' know what your saying just ain't true
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans

When I see food I go in a trance
I want some Sizzler... All you can eat!
Ice cream... You know it's just so sweet

Oh, I... Ohhh I... I love the fat life

Oh, I love the fat life
I love the pigout, and break merry-go-rounds, yea
Please don't bug me 'bout fad diets
When I'm walking it's like a riot
You're trying to bring me down
When all I want is to be renown
For being the fattest man in the world
Maybe then I will, um... get really hot girls
I want to go get some lots of dough
I want some pizza... all you can eat
Doughnuts... You know it's just so sweet
I'm gonna give in, I'm gonna get some too
Oh, I... Ohhh I... I love the fat life
I want McDonalds... and I want fries with thaaaat, please
Oh, I love the fat life

howdy doody
Blog Land is a wonderful place really, it has so much to offer. there are people like Tiph* who's randomness is inspiring and then other people who aren't so random but are just as inspiring and then there are the plain old stupid ones *cough **ryan** cough*
i went shopping to day and it really is amazing how fast i can spend money. now i've been really good lately so i felt a little splurge would be acceptable. has anyone ever noticed how changing clothes 50 times in the space of a few hours tends to put a sparkle in girls eyes? it does!
Ryan says:
remember that ad with the kid and the conversation goes:
"BUM BUM BUM BUM"
"I'll wash your mouth out"
WHAT WAS IT? Answer and you'll get a cooool prize (cool/"cool")
Back to Jess
isn't he charming?
oh, the turtles are still living. here are a few of the good points of having turtles:
1) they're cute
2) they're easy to feed
3) they're naturally messy so they don't die as easy as fish do.
4) if you don't clean the tank for a few months they don't mind.
5) you can put a pirate ship in teh tank and they won't try and hide in it (they hide UNDER it)
bad points:
1) they do bite
2) you can't hug or play with them (not without scaring hte little things half to death)
3) if you put a plant in the tank they will eat it, sleep in it, and dig it up.
NEW TOPIC
oh i found a joke book the other day and i like this one so i think i'll share it
There were two babies in a pram. One baby turns to the other baby and said: 'Are you a little girl or a little boy?'
'I don't know,' was the giggled reply.
'I can tell,' said the first baby gleefully, and he dove beneath the bedclothes and then resurfaced. 'You're a girl and i'm a boy,' he announced proudly.
'That was clever,' said the baby girl. 'How could you tell?'
'Easy! you've got pink booties and i've got blue ones.'
i thought it was cute. anyhoo, share your jokes, thoughts, or randomness

please pray
this is a post to ask a favor. i need you kids to pray. there are two members of my family (extended) who things aren't looking good for. My Aunty Mogs beat breast cancer but she's had a blood test that's come back abnormal (this isn't good) this means that they're looking for a secondary cancer and depending on where it is depends on if they'll treat it or not. if it's in the bone i don't think there's much they can do except give her some really strong pain medication. Mogs is teh favorite in the family and besides my family she's the only christian. i think the family could handle loosing anyone but Mogs.
the other is my second cousin Reece (spelling?) the doctors think he has Viral Meningitis. this isn't usually very serious but because it is an infection of the fluid in the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain it has the potential to be.
i know that no one will leave this earth a second before God says they will but it still seems hard that we may loose someone as wonderful as mogs. so please get praying kids, the family still needs her.
me thinks my brother is in need of pain
i leave your blog alone squirt so it's only fair that you leave mine alone too so bleck to you *sticks tongue out and flounces away*

Greeting ugualmente i lettori del blog.
Se potete leggere questo significa che ve del uno avete scoperto che un programma che convertirà questo in inglese o voi ve del ha imparato l'italiano. Il uno o il altro m. di senso I fiero di voi.
Spero che tutto il giorno del s stia andando swimmingly, là sia molto da essere felice circa. Se lo dubitate di allora pensi ad ogni cosa piacevole che è accaduto oggi voi. Per esempio, avete svegliato e scoperte che eravate, infatti, vivi e (eventualmente) nella salute ragionevole. Allora siete andato circa il vostro commercio normale completamente oblivious a tutte le cose piacevoli e felici che stavano accendendo intorno voi ma ancora sono accaduto, con o senza voi.
In ogni modo, poichè il divertimento come tutto questo è io deve andare ora funzionare, così il arrivederci - gente affascinante di arrivederci. Goda le cose felici e piccole che possono essere trovate nella monotonia di vita di tutti i giorni

Ryan the Random
yes that's right. this is an entry about my little brother Ryan (i still say little even though he's taller then me, i'm still older) i had a long look through our computer and it's next to impossible to find a picture of Ryan without his better half (Lesley) being in the picture. so there they are. aren't they cute?
so here is a ryan quiz
1) when's his birthday?
2)what's his middle name?
3) which 3 states has he lived in?
4) for what reason did he move?
5) his favorite book as a child was?
6) besides the guitar, what other instrument has ryan learnt? (he doesn't play it anymore)
7) the name of his favorite childhood toy?
8) what caused Ryan to have his mouth x-rayed when he was smaller? (he kept talking so on the x-ray he ended up with 3 sets of teeth)
9) he has a football signed by what football team? and was it rugby league, rugby union, AFL or soccar?
10) who made his guitar?
while it's not the hardest test ever made it will test your Ryan knowledge
i'd just like to add that while he can be a little surly at times he's still a *two thumbs up* tops brother and i wouldn't trade him (well some days i'd like to but generally i'd like to keep him) much love dude

a rant and a rave
*sigh* have you ever noticed when you go in slightly grouchy (even if you're just the begining of grouchy and the first effects of the grouchiness hasn't set in yet) everything will go wrong? so far tonight i have splashed spray and wipe in my eye, burnt myself while making dinner, given myself at least 3 bruises by running into things, scalded myself with hot water and gotten uber cranky at myself cause the work that was meant to take 3 hours was finished in under 2.
so all in all i am super frustrated and i am cranky-pants >:-I
please disregard my crankiness. much love to everyone i know...even to the ones i don't

The Grand Adventure!!!
B and i took our three babies out of their tank and put them into a lunch box so that they could get some sun. we then put that box into a deeper tray so they couldn't escape...
.......But escape one did! he managed to get all the way from the spare room to Ryans room without meeting Candy or Rocket. and so, by this stroke of luck, he is still alive.
One day he may tell us of the perils he faced but he likes to keep secrets so maybe not.

SUPER SQUIRREL!
but alas she is in love with another. he is far more exciting then our poor little day squirrel. she is in love with his alter ego, Super Squirrel. will our hero ever tell his lady love who he really is?
you decide.
jelly beans and nothingness
I'm here for a ramble about nothing...When you think about it nothing is really rather interesting. Because there really is nothing. When someone says "there's nothing there" they really mean that there's nothing out of the ordinary there. Because there has to be SOMETHING there. Trees, rocks, bugs, parasites, socks, other items of clothing, bacteria, fungi, spores, dust particles. They're all something!!! So nothing really doesn't exist.
or when someone asks you what you did today and you say "oh, nothing" you didn't really do nothing, you just did nothing of note. You may have spent the day on the couch watching TV, you may have slept, you may have gotten some piece of assessment done, you may have gone to school or uni or work, you may have simply say staring at a wall while you converted oxygen into CO2.
so nothing is a very interesting subject me thinks. Because everything is something. and just because we dismiss it as nothing does not diminish its significance in any way, shape or form.
NEW TOPIC!!!!!
Jelly beans.
yes i can hear your gasp of surprise and pleasure at my mentioning this wonderful and joyous topic.
jelly beans are a wonderful, magical, and just downright nifty thing. They decorate anything with their colors and their shape (hence why they are called a bean) they taste as good as they look (for the most part) and when you feel down a jelly bean will almost certainly cheer you up with the general delightfulness of it.
personally i like the black ones but i like all jelly beans...Except green, they don't taste as nifty as the others :( neither do the pink, the initial joy of finding a pink on is always swift in departing as the taste registers on your taste buds. Oh why can't they taste as good at they look?!?!?!
until next time my charming chump and chumpets i challenge you to go and do one thing that puts you outside your comfort zone. Hug a tree while wearing your underwear on you head, every time you see someone someone with blond hair point and scream "Oh my GOSH it's barbie!!!!" (see how many people get offended, it's fun), hang a long bit of toilet paper out of the back of your pants and pretend not to notice, ring some random person that you hardly know and say "sorry just letting you know I'm too busy to talk to you right now" or you could always make friends with a telemarketer (they have feelings too)

a little girls miracle
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quater from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it.
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom i haven't seen in ages," he said while waithing for a reply to his question.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick...and i want to buy a miracle."
"I beg you pardon?" said the pharmacist.
"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. i'm sorry but i can't help you," the pharacist said, softening a little.
"Listen, i have the money to pay for it. it it osn't enough, i will get the reat. Just tell me how much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know," Tess replied with erh eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick and Mummy says he needs an operation, but my Daddy can't pay for it, so i want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.
"One dollar and eleven cents ," Tess answered barely audible "and it's all the money i have, but i can get more if i need to."
"Well what a coincidence," smiles the man. "A dollar and eleven cents - the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten ad said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if i have the kind of miracle you need."
That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specialising in neurosurgery. the operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again and doing well. Mum and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.
"That surgery," her Mum whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?" Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents...plus the faith of a child

Verses that got to me this morning
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not
give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do
not be afraid.
John 14:27
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel
you and watch over you.
Psalm 32:8
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all
without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5
Sustain me according to your promise, and i will live; do not let my hopes
be dashed.
Psalm 119:116
And it will be said:
"build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.
For this is what the high and lofty one says -
"I live in a high and hold place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly of spirit,
to recieve the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the
contrite.
I will not accuse forever,
nor will I always be angry,
for then the spirit of a man would grow faint before me -
the breath of man that I have created.
I was enraged by his sinful greed;
I punished him and hid my face in anger,
yet he kept on in his willful ways, but I will heal him;
I will guide him and restore comfort to him,
creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel.
Peace, peace to those far and near!"
says the LORD. "and I will heal them."
Isaiah 57:14-19
i'm not sure why i share these. i just have a hunch that someone out there needs to read them. these verses have given me reassurance, hope and peace on more occasions then i can count. they show me that i have a God who will not let me go, He will teach me and care for me and even give to me when i know i don't deserve it. i pray this helps someone out there.
big smiles everyone!
i have discovered that there are several different ways that people can smile
you can smile like this ->
<- or you can smile like this
there are a zillion other ways you can smile too. but i think some of the main ones would be:
1) smiling when you really don't want too
2) smiling with your whole face
3) smiling for the sheer joy of it and being filled with so much happiness that you simply can't keep it in. you have to share it by smiling at anyone and everyone (smiles are infectious)
4) smiling to fool people
5) smiling because you have gas (babies do that smile a lot)
ummm, i'm running out of ideas so please share the smile you can think of. think of all the reasons you smile in a day (are there lots and lots???)
Remember: it is better to loose something and have others benifit then to keep it to yourself

Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Here are some reasons why Gir is my hero.
as you can see he is super cute,
he's also super stupid but is always happy and friendly.
He Is obediant but often does the wrong thing without meaning too. for example
Zim: Gir! go destroy the enemy!
Gir flys iff and lands on Dib's ship and strats pressing random buttons asking
Gir: what does this do? what does that do? what does this do? what does this do? etc etc
Dib: Go away!
Gir okey-dokie
and off he goes.
<- oh and this is Zim. he's bent on world domination and is a bit of a joke on his home planet. he was sent to earth because they just told him he was going to the (?) planet and Earth is where he ended up. he has many amusing adventures and i highly recommend that everyone goes and atches as much invader zim as they can. now GO!

the age old question
i just thought i'd put this on before i forgot. it's a song i got from a movie. As you can tell it is sung by a man :-P
(<- it's actually sung by Rex Harrison.)
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so honest, to thoroughly square, eternally nobel, historically fair
Who when you win will always give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be like that?
Why does everyone to what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do everything their mothers do?
Why can't they grow up like their fathers instead?
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to please
Whenever you're with them you're always at ease.
Would you be slighted if i didn't talk for hours? "of course not"
Would you be livid if i had a drink or two? "nonsense"
Would you be wounded if i never sent you flowers? "never"
Why can't a woman...be like you
One man in a million may shout a bit
Now and then there's one with slight defects
One perhaps whos truthfulness you doubt a bit
But, by and large we are a marvolous sex
Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so friendly, good natured and kind
A better companion you never will find
If i were hours late for dinner would you bellow? "of course not"
If i forgot your silly birthday would you fuss? "nonsense"
Would you complain if i took out another fellow? "never"
well why can't a woman...be like us?
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps
Ready to help you through any mishaps
Ready to buck you up when you are glum
Why can't a woman be a chum?
Why is thinking something woman never do?
Why is logic never even tried?
Straighnening up thier hair is all they ever do
Why not straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If i were a woman who'd been to a ball
Been hailed as a princess and admired by all
Would i start weeping like a bath tub overflowing?
Or act as if my home were in a tree?
Would i run off and never tell me where i'm going?
Why can't a woman...be like me?
