The continuing saga of my 23rd birthday

Yes - I've now got another beautiful present for my birthday today! Thanks so much for the lovely handmade card too. Now, will this be the last one? Only time will tell...

Blue water?

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

The life of a records manager is NOT dull!

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 :)

My first Candy doll

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.

Birthdays RULE
I love birthdays, especially ones that last for a long time. I went shopping today with Amberley and successfully spent all my birthday vouchers (without getting the fondue set... hmm might have to splash out on that too... did I hear someone mention chocolate?). Of course shopping is fun, spending time with friends is fun and combining that with memories of my birthday makes it even better! Oh, and I've still got another present in the wings too. I'll report back on that after Sunday.

Ring the SLWA switchboard...

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

I like words!

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!)
