Spooky Saturday

I had an awesome time at work last night, it was really busy until about midnight when people began to disappear. So we all went into the kitchen to carve pumpkins for tonight's Halloween party which we are hosting in the new club that's opening behind the Pub (My pumpkin's name is Fred and Katie said he looked bloody evil, I looked at her rather apprehensively and told her that he was just misunderstood (oh yeah! I just used a rather long word that made me sound smart but of course I just ruined the whole affect by saying that... nevermind)). Anyway, i'm looking forward to tonight, even if I am working it should be heaps of fun and the staff get to dress up too - SCORE!!!

Strangely enough, over that past few weeks, work has suddenly become a good space for me, and to believe that I hated it when I first started (!!!), Thankyou God! Oh, and Brenda bought lolly eyeballs to put into people's cocktails which I find slightly gross but awesome at the same time... this should be an interesting night!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, whatever your doing.

Lots of love from Me xxx

Sorry, I just HAD to put this picture up of Lock, Shock and Barrel because I loooove them so much and seeing that it was Halloween this weekend, it only seemed appropriate. Gotta be a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' fan! :D

A Plea

This is a plea to anyone out there who can help me!
My Dad's been recently diagnosed with cancer, it started in his lungs and has passed on to his bones. The doctors have said that there is nothing they can do to prevent it and that he probably only has about a year to live. Of course, this has all come as a shock to my whole family and where all trying to cope with the reality of it all but it just doesn't seem very real. We've called up and asked for a second opinion and we will be getting one eventually but it could take some time before we can get an appointment. I've done some research but it's all very hard to understand so I really feel (and I know my family does too) like I've been thrown into the deep end. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if there are people out there who can help me, support people, cancer stories, anything that I might be able to use to help my Dad.
Kisses and Hugs.

It's more then you can hear.
But you still make me strong.
Please stand close, just be near.

A Poem Without Words

Bugger, working from 4:30 this afternoon till 1:30, then my next shift starts 10:30 tomorrow morning till 7. Oh! i'm going to be soooo tired! Keep your mind on the money, missy, you can do it!!!
Oh well.
Anyway, I just finished mounting my photos for the exhibition, they look terrific and i'm super excited about showing them off! I love pictures. Paintings and photos and murals and sketches and illustrations. I love them all. They can tell stories without saying word, they can share emotion and expression. And to each individual person they share a different secret.

Pictures are amazing.

Cold Porridge

Time to change it all I think. It's my life and I can colour it whatever colour I want. Yeah I'm bloody nervous, but it can't be thay bad can it? I mean, how will I know if I don't try, right? I don't think God intended any of us to stand still, to stay where we knew it was safe. We were made to take risks. What good came to those who built walls around themselves? It turned them to custard, thats what it did and I for one do not feel like being somebody elses dessert, thats already happened far too often. No! I don't want to be wimpy me anymore, thats degrading. This time I will not let the opportunity slide me by, I will not abandon the responsiblity that He granted me, I'm going to be the firend that I'm suppose to be and i'm going to work hard even if my job does seem a bit 'bleh!'. Thats my focus, and all I can hope is that everything else will just fall into place the way it's suppose to. Dark rings under your eyes and cold porridge is for people without hope, I don't want to be one of those anymore.
