I got the best new lip balm!  It smells like raspberry jubes and it's not sticky at all.  I'm so in love.

I'm also picking out a design for a tattoo I think I want.  I've been trying to decide if I want one or not for 10 years.  I could never pick a design I was happy with and then last night I finally thought of something I'd like.

I have these two cute little dimples either side of my spine on my lower back.  I think a star on each dimple would rule (especially cos I wear low waisted pants all the time).  And I love stars.  So if I like it I could carry on the star theme elsewhere.  There would be times I wouldn't want people to see them (at work, formal places etc) but I can't think of anywhere where it would be appropriate to show my midriff that it wouldn't also be okay to show a tattoo.

The only problem is I think Ryan isn't terribly keen on tattoos.  I will convince him though!

I like the stars in this one:

But I like how detailed this one is:

Hmmmm.

Hahaha oh I can't wait to get the rest off other people's cameras!

Last night Ryan took me to Windy Point restaurant for my birthday dinner.  For those of you who don't know, it is like the number one proposal restaurant (by proposal I mean marriage, not indecent) in South Australia.  It's perched on the side of a hill with sensational views out over the city to the sea.  Pretty romantic!  And pricey...

Anyway omg it was soooo good.  The food was out of this world.  I had this confit salmon which was juuuust warm and absolutely melted in my mouth like butter.  I'm drooling.  I even had a dream about it last night! :D

It was a sensational dinner and I totally overate.  The only thing which I know is coming is when I tell people we went to Windy Point, it's going to be all expectation "and? Did he pop the question?".  Seriously.  No matter how many times I tell people "WE'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED.  WE'RE NOT HAVING BABIES" there are some idiots who want yout to fit into their nice neat little version of the world.  I mean, we've been together a while.  We MUST be planning to get married at some stage!  Otherwise... what ARE we planning?  If you don't want to get married and pop out hideous children, then what DO you want?  And then they get all freaked and nervy and they don't like it.

Whatever.  Let me state here and now - Ryan and I ARE NOT getting married.  We DO NOT want children.  I might want a pretty ring though because I don't want to miss out on everything...  And if I tell you we went to Windy Point, don't say "and?" and wait for the big proposal story (which then makes me feel that my description of the delicious food etc is just a letdown).  Instead, assume we had a fantastic meal and great conversation and really great sex afterwards THE END!

It's my biiiiiiirthday today!

Dinner tonight with Ryan at a SECRET location, woooooooo

My birthday party ROCKED.  Most people got well into the theme and made it an AWESOME night.  Everyone loved my costume and the riding crop I bought got a real work out.  I got lots of good photos (and need to get heaps off my friends' cameras) which I'll add to my photo album soon! 

The only real downer was my "best friend" came late, barely talked to me and then left after about an hour and a half.  AND she didn't come in costume.  I was like "Dude, where's your costume?" and she basically shrugged like "Whatever".  Grrr.  She pretty much cold-shouldered me the whole time she was here.  She couldn't have cared less is how it felt, which hurt!  She's been being pretty cold with me for a few weeks and I have asked if anything's wrong and she's said no, so I really don't know what her problem is.  It's upsetting because we've had soooo many dramas before and the way she's behaving right now, I just don't really like her any more.  I mean, don't show up to my birthday party and then stand around with a sour look on your face and then leave almost straight away.  If that's how it's going to be, don't show up at all!!  Anyway, enough ranting.  The party was awesome!

But I think I need new friends...

I'm seriously jumping out of my skin, I'm so excited for my birthday party tomorrow!  I'm going shopping tonight after work to get the finishing touches - some seamed fishnets, maybe some ruffled knickers and possibly a riding crop :D  And, would it be my fault if they're still having a shoe sale?

Here is a pic of my outfit (hope this link works...)

50. Last person to text you? 
Dunno, I can't be bothered to look 

I love summer, gold jewellery, handbags and meeting new friends.

I'm a big fan of Rachel Zoe's style.

I'm not good at tolerating people who irritate me, I'm not good at sharing and I don't like people to touch me without my permission.  Call me weird if you like. 

I love music, dancing and generally acting like an idiot.

My sisters crack me up more than anyone.

I really dislike children and can't imagine ever wanting any of my own.

I'm allergic to dogs and cats but I love cats anyway. I don't have one at the moment which makes me sad.

My favourite drink is gin and bitter lemon. I don't really have a sweet tooth at all and I'm far more likely to gorge myself on a packet of crisps than a block of chocolate. That said, I love love love Haighs rose creams (chocolates).

I cannot stand racism, homophobia or ignorance of any kind. It makes me angrier than anything and is the one way to get me really fired up.

I'm sick of my job and want to total change.  My goal is to figure out what I want to do this year and go ahead and do it.  Enough of doing what other people think I should do!

Winter makes me depressed - I totally suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I'm completely addicted to cheese. Coon Tasty is my favourite... It goes on everything I cook (well, except desserts).

I'm a total nerd. I love gardening, reading and I'm really into correct grammar and big words.

Oh and to make me even nerdier, I'm incredibly short-sighted and need seriously thick glasses to see anything at all. Needless to say, I now wear contacts most of the time.

I'm obsessed with handbags. I used to have about 40, but I whittled it down to about 10 BFFs so I can expand my collection. I bought my first designer bag (the CC Skye "Skye" bag) a few months ago, and my aim is to eventually have a large collection which has historical as well as sentimental value.

I'm a really really fussy eater. The list of foods I won't eat is endless. I also have rules for food. For example, I'll eat nuts but only as a snack. Nuts don't belong in chocolate OR in stir fries. I also don't mix sweet and savoury - pineapple on pizza is NOT RIGHT

I just got a phone call from someone wanting to discuss my "employment opportunities"!!!  New job, here I come!  Now I just have to figure out how to take the call while I'm at work without anyone at work knowing what I'm talking on the phone about... Hmmm.

EXCITEMENT!  Please god, no more desk job

I am so addicted to this site already.  I think I want a tattoo.  I think I want to be a Gods Girl too!  I'm in love with Charity and Stiletto the most.

Right now I am bored at work (I'm pretty much ALWAYS bored at work - but I'm doing my best to change that by looking for a new job!).

I'm meeting a friend for dinner tonight but all I really want is a big cappuccino chiller from Gloria Jeans and a celebrity gossip magazine... and, yes... a cigarette.  :O  Well I've been doing so well cutting down that now I only have a few a week!  And I just really want one tonight!  Okay!

Hmmm anyway.  That's all for now
