Friday Fill-In #121
And...here we go!
1. Apparently there's some sort of water easement in our new backyard that can't be covered up, but is a bit dangerous at the moment.
2. Work is a waste of a sunny day.
3. 2009 has been a sad and hard year so far, but there has been joy too.
4. We got the phone call and that was it - the house is ours!
5. For too long I've been sharing a bedroom, but now that we are officially buying our new house I get my own room (see my previous post if you're curious).
6. I am not obsessed with buying books and scrapbooking products; I am not!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to measuring the rooms in our new house so I can make floor plans and try furniture arrangements, tomorrow my plans include going to Scienceworks with my friend and her 4 rambunctious boys and Sunday, I want to, well actually I'm not sure; we'll just see what happens!

Moving!
Very soon, within 2 months, I'll be moving!
Not my blog, that's staying right where it is.
Moving house!!
My parents have bought a house in the area where we have been renting for 5 years. It's a little further out as far as distance from the CBD of Melbourne, but that's fine with me. I can still catch the train easily when I want to, but we feel a bit more like we are in the country. That's a good thing because I'm a country girl at heart.
The best thing is that I will finally have my own room instead of having to share with my youngest sister. The other great things are that I can hang pictures on the walls with permanent hooks and I can rearrange and redecorate to my heart's content (within reason, of course).
This is just the motivation for starting that correspondence Interior Design Course that I've been dreaming about since I was 16. It's also motivation for getting on with the patchwork doona cover that I've been planing for 10 years. The carpet in the new house is a lovely blue colour, and the quilt will match it beautifully.
We're planning on measuring all the rooms and noting where windows, powerpoints and other fixtures are so that I can make up scaled drawings of the rooms and furniture to work out the best arrangements. I will particularly be doing this for my room and the lounge room. The lounge room really needs it because the entry comes straight into it and we want to have some kind of division between entry and family area. I'm thinking that the couch will end up becoming a 'wall' since we don't want any permanent structures there. I'm also thinking an open bookshelf or something like that. Mum and Dad don't want to purchase any more furniture, so that will limit things to a certain extent.
The house is almost new, being only 2 1/2 years old. That's meant there aren't any curtains in most of the bedrooms and no window coverings in the bathrooms. I'm excited that I get to pick what I want. I'm assuming that Mum and Dad will have a budget and if I want something that costs more I'll have to chip in, but that doesn't bother me. I'd rather get something that I love than settling for something I can just live with.
When I've got things organised I'll post some photos up, but in the meantime stay tuned for updates.
I'm thinking a trip to Ikea is in order very, very soon!

Friday Fill-in #120
And...here we go!
1. Join me in trip down memory lane.
2. Put a little giggle in your day!
3. Happiness is knowing that God loves you and has promised to always be with you.
4. Stressed and confused is how I am about my job at the moment.
5. I'm waiting for my Mr. Right to come along.
6. Chocolate is hard to resist.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to cross stitching and maybe watching TV, tomorrow my plans include a huge family reunion and Centenary celebration in the Dandenongs and Sunday, I want to go to church in the morning and probably sleep in the afternoon, although there was the thought of maybe having a Good News Gang meeting, or that birthday party I was invited to!

Canaries
A lady went to a pet shop.
"I'd like to buy two yellow canaries," she told the owner.
"We don't have any canaries, but we have these," the owner
said, as he showed the lady some pale green parakeets.
"That's not what I'm looking for," the lady stated.
But the pet store owner refused to give up. He said, "Just
think of them as yellow canaries that aren't quite ripe
yet."
Received from Thomas Ellsworth.

Friday Fill-In #118
And...here we go!
1. Angel or not, I will still find a way to see that movie.
2. You can't have me any way you want me.
3. As my mother used to say, you're full of Jumping beans (at least I think that's how it went).
4. I need to sleep after I'm done working out or doing something strenuous.
5. Even in the most crowded of rooms I often can't find a familiar face.
6. My work day is a day fraught with peril.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching My Best Friend's Wedding on TV, tomorrow my plans include house hunting and a cardmaking party and Sunday, I want to go to church in the morning and have a quiet afternoon!
