Blog Title: the little lioness

Riddle?

If a bridge can take 150kg per square metre, and we gather up a whole lot of people, pait them up so there are people piggybacking each other to make 150kg piggybacked people (e.g a 80kilo guy piggybacking a 70 kilo girl)… can we make the bridge collapse?? Or, if we add just one bike…

Cherries!

It’s definately cherry season… you just have to know where to buy them! A local guy was selling them - 2 kilos for $8 at the Kingston Old Bus Depot Markets yesterday… so Mum (who was down for the weekend) split a box with me. I just might have to go back next Sunday for another read more..

P&F week 2

Focus: pecs and shoulders! It’s interesting to work through why you might be able to get more stretch on one side than another… I was able to get a better pec strectch on my left side today… and this seemed to be because of my weaker and less tight left arm muscles. Not that I have read more..

Sitting.. all day?

We have a PD day today, where we’re off to the AIS to sit and listen to all the wonderful things out workmates have achieved in the past 12 months. Problem is half the presentations are by Speechies on things that I was a part of *yawn* at least we’ll make sure everyone knows what read more..

Luv!

CommentLuv (the awesome plugin that links back to YOUR last blog post when you comment on a site.. like this one) is having a contest for those who have commentluv installed on their blogs (latest version of course!) and who then spread the luv by commenting on other people’s sites. It’s all so gooey and read more..

Ahead of Myself

Really, I can’t get too excited about doing a masters or even some coursework when i come home feeling blah after having a headache for much of the the day, coupled with a sore throat… thank you Dimetapp cold and flu for at least keeping the sniffle away and the cough down. My Burlesque course got read more..

A Masters?

I’ve been looking at doing further study for awhile now… partially to extend myself and my knowledge, but also so that if I do wind up tagging along with Rish to a country where you need a masters degree to be recognised as a speech pathologist (yeah, don’t get me started - just because they read more..

Free Makeover

The lovely Teresa of So Chic Design is giving away a custom blog template this month (for self hosted wordpress and for blogger sites)… and all you have to do to enter is comment! What are you waiting for? (check out the freebies and premades while you’re there)

31:45 on what?

Rish took me around the lake 5k loop this afternon, I did a bit of whinging, but not so much thratening on his life this time… a couple of I hate Yous but I just didn’t have the venom in me today. Good time considering I haven’t been at the gym much the last 2 weeks… read more..

Posture & Flex

Since it’s a day for “getting back to things”… I got back to Posture and Flexibility class tonight. I took my first semester of it.. hmm probably over summer 2006/07, and here I am 08/09 ready for season two. Intermediate level. My poor calves! I have super stong (even commented on by the instructor today who read more..

Speed Machine

So, I acquired this bike from someone at Rish’s uni maybe a year ago now… and today was my first actual ride on it. The idea being, why walk a kilometre to work when I can ride a free bike that far? Question was whether I actually could ride a bike that far… The last time I read more..

And we’re in

Okay, i’m in love with the new place. Love the back yard, love the living area, love the high ceilings.. :) I have to now learn to negotiate a small (4) set of capeted stairs, which I slipped down earlier and I think I may have bruised my middle toe. Oh well. It’s like learning to read more..

Moving It

In the process of moving everything from this place to the new place. Going to do the big stuff on the weekend, many boxes are going already… In the process of changing addresses over, figuring out electricity and gas (I’ve never lived in a house with gas stuff in use before… watch me learn to read more..

Party, Yum Cha, Boost and Home.

I think we’ve figured out our “Sydney Routine”. Check into the hotel (that we’ve booked through Wotif.com or through a new place like Hotels Combined) about 2pm after remember again that we hate the stretch along South Dowling Drive… Find lunch. This time around we stuffed ourselves silly with Manchurian Sweet and Sour Pork and some dumplings read more..

It’s moving time!

Gee B1 and B2 proved great conversational starters in my younger years… Anyway… (Do you know what time it is?) We’ve got ourselves a place very very close to where I work… meaning walking to work every day! *bounce* Slightly larger than we have now, but technically a townhouse… though it’s not a little box courtyard like read more..

Japanese. Burlesque.

Just got word that there’s going to be a “Continuing” Japanese course running next semester (Feb onwards) at the ANU CCE. *dances* Now to (a) remember to enroll; (b) buy the text and (c) brush up my reading at least over summer. THere’s also going to be a beginners burlesque dance course running through the sports read more..

Local DJ

I’ve not been to a party in someone’s house before with a DJ all set up with his many speakers, turnables and … well laptop these days… Nothing but the local DJ. He said he had some songs to play. What went down from this fooling around. Gave hope and a brand new day. [Loving the Ting Tings :)] Hey read more..

Stand Back: Domestic Genius at Work

Okay, I’m sure I’ve mentioned my periods of being banned from doing household tasks such as the dishes (relegated to wiping up), and doing Rish’s washing due to one too many tissue incidents (bans have been lifted due to the necessity of me being available to do these tasks). I was just putting out washing, a read more..

Back on the Hunt

Ahh, the Canberra rental market… HATE it hate it hate it. The new landlord has decided that a $55 a week rental increase is what they’d like… so… we’re looking around at our options, starting the process of going to open houses, seeing what’s out there that might be suitable. Oh and I’m sure we’ll be read more..

How good is food?

So, went back to work today. I’m certainly still not 100%, throat still hurts and some of my glands are still puffy, along with just being tired and a little drained… but a million times better than on Friday/Saturday - when I was struggling to even swallow my saliva, water or pills, let alone trying read more..
