It was all over in the blink of an eye, but I have photos of a white dress, a robot, angel and lady of Trafalgar era to remind me of it. I also have a new journal, the Australian Tour version of Dynamite by Jamiropqui, beads, Oceanus Body shop gift pack, two gorgeus candle sets, 3 new cushions to add to the shabby chic look in my room, a new handmade handbag, a lovely Friends of Kings Park 2006 calendar and did I mention chocolate?
It's been nearly 2 months since you have heard from me... In which time I've had Ky's engagement party, got my marks for my final assignment, filled in for the CEO at the Australia Post Christmas party, had our old school's 21st, had breakfast at the C Resturant, sat my final exam, completed 1 full year at the State Library, had the Creative Ministries Christmas party at our house, had a gorgeous Hertime Christmas dinner, had our Corporate and Business Services Christmas lunch at the Atrium at Burswood (can you believe I've never been there before?), danced in the Christmas pageant, drove myself to Mt Helena for our bridesmaid dress measurements, gone to an engagement party which included a big screen, speeches from the balcony and way too many beautiful moments to recount here, been involved with Christmas carol skyshow at Heathridge Park and many events! And Christmas is only 1 week away!
Just wanted to let you know to watch for me in the Christmas pageant on Saturday. I'll be on of the angels. We are Southern Cross Dance number 7 in the pageant after the camels and before the nativity. :) So much to tell you all, but I've been too busy with many parties, Christmas rehearsals both dance and choir!
COMPLETED...DONE...FINISHED...ACCOMPLISHED...OVER... Yes two entries in one day... but I had to tell you I've submitted my last ever assignment - for my double degree, which is Bachelor of Science(Communication & Information Technology)/Bachelor of Science(Library Technology). Finally I'm free. Just 1 exam on the 25th of November and then it is all over!
Yes it was me on Page 3 of the West on Wednesday.... I was interviewed by the West at lunch time (Tuesday). I've uploaded the article from page 3 of today's West, in which they only sightly misquoted me (on the Adam & Eve question :) )
It was a little bit exciting that it got printed and not too badly misquoted - I've had people smsing me and e-mailing etc... but certain people think I could have a career in politics the way I was answering (or not) the questions!
Just a quick note to let you all know I'm going good - sooo many engagements
in the last few weeks/months among my friends. I've got all sorts of events
almost all the way to Christmas and I've been spending lots of time shopping
for clothes, presents and new furniture for my room! Oh, and working on
that assignment... better get back to it! Love you all! PS See you all the
Fuel Ball!
After 6 days of conferences I'm back... well I think it's still me. Hang on a minute, what am I doing? I've got my assignment to do and I've taken 2 days off work to do it! Umm, so I better be going. Anyways, just to let you all know I'm still here and I did manage to get quite a few compliments on my outfit for my Under the Sea theme dinner on Monday night. But no, I didn't get any photos (sorry to those of you who wanted to see... you know who you are! lol). I'm hoping my contact at the Uni of Melbourne will come through with photos of the TRIM User Forum dinner... so you'll have to be happy with those one! Catch you all later... Love Lissa
I've just been working on my LAST EVER assignment (umm, did I mention that?) and it is going ok really. Today has been filled with good stuff, I finished the mail review (and that memo for the CEO), all the paperwork is finalised for my conferences and leave, at lunchtime I got the last size 7 pair of shoes in the style I wanted from Sportsgirl, got $18 voucher for Wishlist, came home to the latest Planetshakers CD (my Koorong order arrived!), plus managed to get a discount on a room at the Vines for the TRIM User Forum conference. So many blessings!
Moving!! Hi people just to let you know that I'll be moving house soon.
'Cause this is the big scary internet I'm not gonna tell you where I'm
moving too, or the date (well that is because I don't know the exact date
yet! :-D ) but I just wanted you all to know... and unsurprisingly I am
actually pretty excited about it!

It is WA's coldest June in over 50 years. Im getting right into the spirit of it and am writing this sitting here in the car with a scarf, gloves and leather gloves on! We've had heaps of rain and our 'lake' is now 3 metres deep. Not only that, but there is water in the Helena River.
I have even more good news for you people- I've finished Uni for the semester! Yay hooray!!!
That means I'll have a bit more spare time for 5 weeks so if you want to catch up just drop me a line.
All the best to those of you at school and uni for your exams. I'll be thinking of you. :)
Why send RPH's mail to ME?!?! I don't know, but personally I think that 1
box of misdirect mail is a bit for a Monday morning. No - hang on it's
Tuesday isn't. Hmm these long weekends mess with your mind don't they. Never
mind, they picked it up. Eventually. Oh and the Mail West? Well the van
driver broke down and had to wait and hour and a half for the RAC. All's
well though, the CEO still got her mail at a reasonable hour :)
Ok this is hilarious What do you think we are using for a door stop here?
Yes, old catalogue cards. Sadly there are still thousands of those things
hanging around in libraries. Will they ever disappear completely?
(They can be quite handy note cards though!)
Can someone explain why the water in the Art Gallery pond was dyed? It did look a bit odd - aqua water in a usually brown pond If it was to make it look blue - it only worked for a few days! (OK I know I can't talk - our pond is a bit of a nightmare too!)
Actually I just realised why it is now back to normal... RAIN! Don't tell me it rains in Perth.
Enough random ranting from me for now... Love Lissa
After doing 2 1/2 days of training on using and administrating our radically upgraded records management software, sitting on an interview panel, doing occupational safety & health training and more this week, all I can say is it was Providence that gave me the weekend off music!
Oh yes, I must remember Mothers Day musn't I?
Now I shall get back to work... anyone care to help me calculate the effective overall transfer rate of magnetic tape?
Love and blessings to you all :)
Thanks to Amberley I've discovered Candybar dolls. They have 413 pairs of shoes to choose from - that's even more than I have ;)
Apparently making these is quite addictive and I can see why. Anyway you can have a look at my first doll.
Today I was asked to re-record the State Library's switchboard message for the ANZAC day holiday opening hours... I was thrilled to be asked! Obviously the Information Systems department thinks I have a nice enough voice for the job! lol
So now I'm going to ring 9427 3111 and press 1 to hear the opening hours to see how I sound! :D
For those of you who know me well it will not come as a surprise that I am sitting at my computer during my lunch hour looking up words in the dictionary, well an computerised one. I was trying to work out a new name for my space - but all to no avail...
Even if you are not a budding etymologist you should check out WordWeb it is pretty cool http://wordweb.info/free/. I love the Parts, Types, Type of and Part of features, though you can spend waay to much time looking around for the perfect word.
Oh and BTW my brother just won a double pass to the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie (now that would be worth seeing!)
Well, Ky and I had a lovely morning, we went off to a perfume party. How could I not go when it included chocolate fondue? (For those of you seeing me tomorrow my apologies in advance - I tested 4 perfumes!)
Apart from the chance to catch up Ky also brought my pressie and photos of my birthday dinner (and the ball she and Russ went to). All in all it was a very fun morning...
