Flying Update
Yes, I am still alive - contrary to popular belief :) Its been busy around here for quite a while, and while I have been keeping in touch with everyone else's journals, mine has not been updated as frequently as I would have liked. Work is good, despite getting the "What are you doing working full-time in a bookshop when you have a degree behind you and you can go places?" look. As funny as it may seem I do enjoy working where I am, and the people I work with are great - its not all about the money (at least not for me - but it is nice, don't get me wrong). I am paid at the award rate, so its not what I'd call a "raking in the money" job, but I'm enjoying it.
In other news, Heather is excited as she got an iTunes card tonight and is already busy downloading a couple of songs she has always wanted, and then consequently adding them to her ever growing playlist on her iPod. While i'm also exicted as I know what she is getting me for my birthday (as I helped choose it), but she won't let me have until my birthday. That is the only downside.
It is Australia day tomorrow (26th January), and I am looking forward to being able to celebrate living in "the lucky country". This also involves a BBQ with my parents and friends in the morning, moving on to a church BBQ for lunch, and then driving down to the Gold Coast for dinner with friends who are up from Sydney. So much for a nice relaxing day. But it could be worse i suppose, as I have a mate from work who has to move house on Australia day. Not the ideal way to celebrate one would have thought, but it can't be helped.
We also got the windows tinted on our car last weekend (as it was a Christmas present that we were given), and boy does it make a difference. And in my humble opinion it also makes the car look rather sportier - if that is possible. I'm sure Heather would argue on this point though. The tinting is nice though, and will hopefully help to keep the interior of the car in good shape for an extended period of time (as well as keeping us cooler to boot!).
I think that about covers it. So i'm off to bed (what is it about being married and going to bed early? - I mean we could hardly stay awake for New Years it was that bad), and i'm going to enjoy being in a sleepful state for as long as possible.
