I love my live journal nearly as much as my pillow......
I've actually got a Saturday night off.....miracles do happen. So I've made plans to have dinner at my sister's house. I haven't seen her girls in a very long time (it's hard with their schooling and my crazy work hours).
Baby Talk
So my husband and I have been talking about having kids for a while now. But we've decided to start trying for one next year (around June I'll be 30 then). I'm so excited about it! My husband's, brothers wife is having her third child in 3 weeks,. So the baby talk is everywhere!
I've already got a lot of baby stuff given to me. My sister is even letting me borrow her baby furniture. But I refuse to get a second hand pram. Not because I'm a snob or anything I just want one thing that is my own.
So exciting times ahead!
Health
I've been feeling like absolute crap all week. I guess summer is over so my body has decided to give up. ok ok it's not that bad. But still i feel like death, the cough and lack of energy are worst of my symptom. I just want to curl up in a ball and hide till its over.
Books
So I'm now reading the final book in the Cassandra Clare series. I've enjoyed it so far. But I wouldn't say it's in the same category as say Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. But still a good read.
Work
So I served these two American women at work last night and they called me over to find out how to tip in Australia. Boy were they surprised when I said not to worry about it because we get payed so well over here. They still insisted on tipping (they were very nice ladies). So I let them know that I get $24.80 and hour with sick leave and annual leave (annual leave is paid time off). Which created us having a great conversation about the differences in the American and Australian hospitality industries.
I certainly learnt that the've defiantly got it harder than us! I don't know if I'd survive over there. I think it's a good thing to sometimes be reminded about how good we have it.
Ok as I've probably already said that the restaurant that I've been working in is closing down for renovations. But it's all good because of my contract they have to place me in another restaurant or department for the time being. It just sucks that I have no idea which one yet. So of cause thats all that people are talking about at work. Lets just say the gossip and rumours are spreading like wild fire.
It's starting to become frustrating and I'm a little stressed because I had wished I had stayed where I was. Well I wouldn't of minded a management turn over though.
Shopping
So today I decided to stop drooling at the shop window and buy a new pair of Sketchers. There so amazing I got the ones with the memory foam inside. There my new love lol. And best of all no laces so I can just pull them on and off when every I want. (I have a habit of taking my shoes off whenever my husband drives us anywhere)
It's been a long time since I brought something for myself as all of my money has been used to buy things for the house. But after a few months of being tight with my spending I start to feel a little depressed. I think it's good to treat yourself once in awhile.
