WOW ok so, where to begin. Last proper update in August... since then I have:
- Been to Fiji (and got a tan which faded VERY quickly)
- Did my friend's hair for her wedding in Fiji and got beautiful flowers as a thank you!
- Cut my hair
- Done the Sydney tourist thing and got a visit from my sister
- Got an adorable new nephew
- Lost weight
- Put on weight
- Been to QLD for Xmas with my family
- Watched the Sydney NYE fireworks from my balcony
- Moved back to the coast from Sydney
Here's some pics:
Sydney adventure walkies
Beautiful fountain in the botanical gardens
Tuff-stuff! Before I went all downhill again
Attempted pin-up...
Cute pillow-blanky I made for my nephew!
Visit from li'l sis
More touristing
Amazing sunset - I will miss this view so much
Delicious low calorie pancakes that I am still so proud of!
FIJI! I saved so many starfish on low-tide walkies
Stunning view
The tan (it may be slightly enhanced thanks to my old friend Instagram....)
Wedding hair, done by moi!
Flowers I got for doing above hair
Sunrise on the drive to QLD
Super mega excited about Christmas in QLD
Last sunset of 2012
Drunken sloppy photo attempt of Sydney fireworks and my champers!
In case you couldn't tell, I enjoy taking photos of sunrises/sunsets. What can I say - they're just too gorgeous
I'm about to embark on Operation: Lose Holiday Weight so might update more pics here as I (hopefully) transform into some new dreamier version of myself!

Jeezus, how shit am I at maintaining my SG blog? I gave myself a new name - I think I'm gonna keep it.
Proper update soon. Happy 2013, folks

Wah. I had a tooth pulled out yesterday. I'm dosed up on codeine, curled up on the couch feeling like I've been smacked in the side of the face with a frying pan. Totally gonna be worth it in the long run though, now that the problem tooth is gone for good and it was one of my molars so I don't look like a toothless hick, which is always a plus.
Been going pretty well with the whole health and fitness thing. I've hardly been drinking, have been eating really well, and - up until the toothache started - have been pretty regularly going to the gym. I've already dropped 2.5kg in as many weeks score! Super psyched about Fiji and the prospect of being happy to have my picture taken in a bikini. Only 63 days to go!!
I also can't wait til it warms up a bit more here. I feel like I say this every time I blog, but man - Winter is taking FOREVER to fuck off and all I want is to go gallavanting outside in shorts and a tshirt, no jacket, no scarf, no tights. Fingers crossed it happens soon!

I've been a tad quiet of late. Mainly just trying to get back into a good routine of healthy eating and exercise, AND I have sworn off alcohol for the foreseeable future. We are going to Fiji in November and I am determined to look fooiiine in my bikinis. I did so well losing about 9kg earlier this year, I was even getting into running. I really want to push myself harder this time and get back to some level of fitness that doesn't resemble me slumped over in a wheezing, sweaty, red faced mess. And I want my back-dimples back
Other than this, not much has been happening. Had a long weekend recently which involved lots of drinks. We bought a little Weber Baby Q barbeque which is perched on our balcony now, it's so cute but the weather has been crap since so we haven't had much of a chance to use it. And last weekend was the City2Surf, which went right by our place. I've gotta say, it is crazy to get up at 8am, open the curtains, and see THOUSANDS of people running past where the traffic is usually banked up. There were some pretty rad costumes, probably the best part. I would definitely love to give it a go next year, though I reckon it would take me a few hours to cover the entire 14km!
Hope everyone has a top weekend!

PS. I beat my Wii Sports home runs record. Had to share.

Picture time!
Birthday tattoos:
Visit from my sister :
Sewing project:
Amazing Cookie Monster birthday cupcakes made by my sister in law:
Sexy new watch from my husband:
And his new tattoo (pictures do not do it justice):
Had a great birthday, got tattooed at Bondi, had delicious Indian for dinner. Had a massive dinner with family and friends last night. Expected to have a massive night but it was rather subdued - the upside being that I woke up hangover-free!
About to embark on another stint in this fitness program that saw me lose almost 10kg earlier in the year. Hoping to rock the shit out of some new bikinis when I go to Fiji in November - got some work to do!
Hope everyone is having a splendid weekend

Wowzers! It's my birthday in less than 2 hours! I'll be 26 on the 26th, wahoo! I get to finish work at 1pm sooo I'm gonna go get a couple of little tattoos! It's been 2 years since my last one (which was also my first one) so I'm heaps keen. I wanted a big whale one but don't have the cashola at the moment. So that will have to wait, and I will just get a couple of others to tide me over
It's also my husband's 30th tomorrow (yes, same birthday) so he's gonna get a tattoo too - the design is rad!
Anyway, I had some family and friends visit last weekend which was the best! I didn't get many pics, but I'll post a couple next time.
Got more birthday shenanigans this weekend too so it's gonna be a super mega update and photo upload-fest soon!

I got my hair done this weekend (for the first time in FIVE MONTHS!!)
Here is the result:
5 days til I say my sister and my best friend, holy shit I am a little bit excited.

Oh. Wow. I've been gone a long time. My computer died, my membership ran out, we moved to a place with zero internet access, etc. I wanted to do a blog theme 'My last year in pictures', but I retardedly just deleted a whole bunch of photos off my phone (really, really devo). So, here's December 2011 to July 2012 in pictures:
Good Xmas
Best Xmas present ever
Adorable cats
Bridesmaid in sister-in-law's wedding
Moved house - not a bad view, eh?
Lost a bunch of weight
Beach holiday
Sweet time with sister and bestie
Easter Show
Dead Letter Circus
Awesome touristy times
On the field at Allianz
3 weeks and 1 day til I turn 26, hoping it brings some more rad times.

So, dead laptop meant very limited SG (and internet access in general) but all fixed now! OK quick summary of what has been happening:
- Started my new job. It's great, really enjoying it! Downside #1: Won't get paid til 15 August. Upside #1: I'm gonna be rich as a mofo when I get that first pay! Downside #2: LONG commute. 1.5 hours each way. Upside #2: This gives me time to do things like read books, snooze, listen to music, sew buttons back onto my jackets. I even learned some French. Plus I go across the Sydney Harbour Bridge twice every day. I think that's pretty cool.
- Went to QLD the weekend before last. It was a whirlwind visit, got to see my family, friends, cats. My little sister is the best host ever - she had a fridge full of beer when we arrived. We played Pennycan for about 2 hours the first night we were there. Ah such fun. Also went fishing with my Dad in the sunshine on the Monday while everyone else was working.
- It was my 25th birthday on Tuesday (and hubby's birthday too!). Didn't do much for it, however I got my ultimate dream present: the Derwent box of 120 artists pencils:
!
And Nick made a delicious coconut curry for dinner (slow cooked - yummmm)!
That's all I can think of. I have some catching up to do - oh how many sets I have missed!

It is a beautiful Saturday - the sun is out and I actually went outside in a singlet which I have done maybe twice since April. I have a beer beside me and later on I will most likely consume many more as I'm going to a bit of a farewell shindig for a colleague. I got out of bed this morning and decided not to do the usual weekend thing of getting around in my tights & hoodie, with my hair all a mess and no makeup. I am still digging my new fringe so I styled it up, curled the rest and voila!
Also please note awesome new shirt I'm wearing in that photo, well you can't see it very well but I love it, it's a bit Western but not really.
I don't really have much new news (aside of the job stuff which I already posted about). And I'd love to add a whole bunch of new pictures but I haven't taken many lately. Well other than stupid ones of myself for shits and giggles.
I need some new music as I lost heaps of stuff from my iPhone when we got our new laptop, and it's taking forever to build it back up. I am not overly fussy when it comes to music, provided it is not country or ska I will give it a go. So any suggestions (whether they be based on the music listed in my interests, or just random) would be appreciated! I just really need something different to listen to. That said, I still have PATD's Vices & Virtues & Bayside's Killing TIme on ridiculously high rotation, I just can't get enough of them.
Well I'll leave this one here, I see a beer that needs drinking!
