While rummaging around in my handbag for a snack the other day, I found not one, but FOUR still unopened & now-shriveled up breakfast bars, all with an expiry date of August 2007! :O

My mum’s recipe for almond cookies was printed in today’s Herald Sun.

(She’s won a set of Willow bakeware)

The Barefoot Investor:

After you’ve hit the economics of enough, money has little use, other than as a tool to allow you the economic advantage of creating the life you want with the limited time you have left.

I couldn’t resist!

I tend to cave in easily to my late morning sugar cravings at work everyday.

Boo: Side Order of Life was canceled. But luckily there’s Lipstick Jungle now to fill the void! :D

3-Day Weekend!

It’s Sunday evening, and I’m NOT having one of my usual Sunday “I’m dreading work tomorrow morning” anxiety attacks for once! It’s the Labour Day long weekend, and I’ve been chillin’ like a villain in the past 2 days. I’ve gone to the optometrist’s for a check up, cleaned and mopped the floorboards & tiles, did 2 loads of laundry, caught up with friends on Sat afternoon, took afternoon cat naps, caught up with Samantha Who?, and tonight I’m either going out for pancakes or else have a quiet night in and maybe bake some cupcakes (… and maybe some ironing…).  The best thing is, there’s still a whole day tomorrow free. :)

If only every weekend was comprised of 3 days, not the measly 2 days; it makes a HUGE difference!

I like Vanity Fair - the Hollywood Issue’s featuring of Hitchcock classics, but….. why Seth Rogen as Carey Grant in North By Northwest?!

What Could Have Been

I stumbled across the unaired Season 4 pilot preview episode of Veronica Mars recently - here’s Part 1 & Part 2 of the preview.

It could’ve been something good, if given the chance!

Life’s Just Peachy

I watched the movie Waitress earlier this week, which got me craving pie, so yesterday I baked an ‘I hate work so much that I get panic attacks-on-Sunday-nights Pie’ a Peach Pie.

A list of Jenna’s pies from the movie!

Home Again

holidays-dec07.jpg

I’m back home again, just in time for Christmas, after an awesome (and not to mention COLD) time overseas! I shopped till I dropped in New York and pigged out on food in Paris. I was surprised as to how much I loved London - it reminded me so much of Melbourne. I experienced snow for the first time in New York. In the meanwhile, I’m already thinking about the next holiday for next year! (Berlin, Prague & Vienna?)

Merry Christmas!

Since I don’t know any French at all, last night I picked up a pocket guide about Paris from a friend who’d recently returned from her adventures in Europe, to maybe learn a few handy phrases and words before I get to Paris next week. This French phrasebook/sheet might also come in handy.
