do I need to scour the streets for a friendly or not-so friendly copper with an RBT Patrol. On the way home from work tonight I was waved into an RBT station. Such a short interaction, have you had anything to drink tonight mam? No, ok just blow into the tube till I say stop. I breathed and breathed and then he said you are fine to go. I had sort of been wanting to see how long I could go without an RBT but now I have had one. I thought of ringing Sean to tell him but settled on an SMS instead.
But if I was drinking I think I would want to find an old Mac to make this. Apple G3 Beer Server, how very cool!
Sean and I were mucking about with my camera last night and the very last one was this one. Then I stumbled across the quote in the book I am reading at the moment – Abounding Grace (I love this book so much, I am going to have to buy it) It is quotes with thoughts and ideas by the collector, just so great.
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” – Agatha Christie.
Earlier this evening, whilst in the middle of creating some new "things" for me to play with I had the sudden urge for a slurpee, so I go ask Matthew if he wants one, I sure do he replies, I gather my supplies for the mission, I ask Matthew to go watch TV, so I have some light outside getting to the car, I belt up and drive down to 7-11, park and walk in on a mission for two slurpees. I walk up to the "fountain" and oh to my beating heart there is no lemon or lime just Cola, Raspberry, Orange and Honeycombe! Honeycombe, I tell you who thought of that. I put a smidgen of honeycombe in the bottom of mine to tast it – argh not getting that again. I pay the cashier, saunter back to the car and drive home. It is a struggle to get out of the car with two slurpees, lock it and close the door.
H for “The Helens”
I had such a fun but tiring time at the craft show working with Helen and Fiskars. For the two days that I helped Helen out in the workshops, she introduced us as Helen Williams and Helen Palsson, so just say Helen and you are going to get one if not two of us. It was lots of fun. I made new friends, had sore feet, learnt new things, bought new things and really just had a total blast, from helping out Helen in the workshop to becoming an honorary Scrap That girl with cap since I hanged out there so much, at one stage I was even doing demos for them in my lunch break and everything in between. Ohh and can’t forget Carolyne, a Melbourne Pea who came up to work for Express Publications on their stand, super cool to meet her.
H for Happy day
Today is the Labour Day public holiday so Sean and his family had planned on a trip down the coast for a BBQ and a spot of fishing. Except it rained on and off all day/night so it was called off and the BBQ was held at Sean’s place instead. The whole crew bar Ken was there so there was 12 of us, chatting, laughing, eating and playing. Lots of fun and happy times.
Happy for Emma, winning her basketball game tonight, giving me a list of songs to make a mix CD for her and me discovering some super cool songs, for rambles π
Happy for getting some exercise, Sean and I took the dogs out this noon for an hour or so of jogging, walking and running, the exercise was great and the dogs loved it.
Happy creating and organising my creating stuff, working on deadlines, happy creating and no uni tomorrow π
I realised the other day that I often post photos of other people or things but I don’t think I have of Sean. Well here is one. This is Sean Gordon. This is the guy who makes me happy. Who makes me breakfast. This is they guy who lets me take endless photos of him π This is my guy
In the morning, the kitchen at Sean’s house is full of wonderful natural light, this was taken the other weekend.

Where I have been.
Where I want to go.
This map reminds me of a tag I made a while ago – I dream of … The journalling reads: I dream of colour in Chile. I dream of Crabtree & Evelyn in London. I dream of music in Cuba. I dream of the spiced air of Morocco. I dream of glass in Venice. I dream of lush grass in the Swiss Alps. I dream of ceramics in the Middle East. I dream of cherry blossoms in Japan. I dream of sunsets in Tahiti. I dream of nights on the Russian tundra. I dream of tea in India. I dream of bagels in NYC. I dream of soccer in Brazil. I dream of frescos in Italy. I dream of limes in Florida. I dream of hope in Somalia. I dream of family in Iceland. I dream of the unknown in Athens, WV. I dream of wildflowers in WA. I dream of laughter in Vietnam. I dream of solitude in Nepal. I dream of the World. I dream of every grain of sand to every leaf to every person. I dream of a place I have so much more to discover. I dream of the World. I dream of living the World. Where have you been?
