Sunday Bliss

So the night was restless to say the least but eventually I was sick of it and got up at about 9 (had set the alarm for half past). This actually worked out really well because I managed to get ready for my Brunch date with two of my favourite people an make a bus (frustrating how buses are so infrequent on Sundays!) which meant everything timed in perfectly and I've just had the best Sunday!

After a glorious brunch with my girlfriends at a cafe I hope we make a regular spot outside in some wonderfully lovely weather I headed on back down to Flinders to venture back home and as I was passing by the NGV the wind was blowing and I was glad I was wearing my cute blue maxi skirt and not a short one. Anyway, was about to pass this girl and she was smiling at me as she exclaimed "your skirt is f#%^ing beautiful! You look amazing!". I was so flattered and thanked as we crossed paths and went on my way with the biggest smile and a lovely fuzzy feeling. Isn't it nice to receive compliments from absolute strangers?!

Then I decided spontaneously to visit the gallery! Be more spontaneous is one of my "new years resolutions" and I wandered through in total awe! It was wonderful. Why have I only bee. There for a function in the past?! I do believe I would like to wonder through there quite frequently! The Ballet & Fashion exhibition is amazing! Along with the other amazing work featured throughout. Inspired to the max! Though I only very briefly went through that one. And by the time I got to browsing the store it was nearly closing time so I didn't get to have the best look in there. There seemed to be a lot of cool stuff and books in that place! Never fear! I shall return.

Had a lovely dinner and evening with the fantastic people I reside with before doing a bit of cleaning and now I'm all settled in with my new Peter Alexander pjs and my ice-cream and chocolate! Bliss!

Why am I awake?!

Why the fudge am I awake at 4am on a Sunday morning when I'm not even out partying?! What is wrong with me?

I was rather sad last night as my Saturday night plans fell through and a depression hit me. Plans falling through is just never fun. Especially at the last minute. But then I did something spontaneous! Well, for me it was. I went for a run! It may sound strange that this is something I'm actually super proud of but I NEVER just go for a run. Like just put on your runners and go. It was actually kind of perfect as the cool change had come through and it wasn't too hot and was actually quite windy. Even did some Yoga! Back at the gym for two days (started back Thursday) after being away for three weeks over the festive season so I can definitely feel every stretch! But it always feels good to be getting back into it. Had taken my runners home for the holidays but honestly they never came out of my suitcase! Though I did sneak a few squats and steps into milking so I didn't do absolutely nothing but a lot less than my usual training. Which I was constantly telling myself was ok. I probably did need to give my body a recovery break as ever since my September 2011 health kick began I really haven't taken many breaks and especially over the last 8-9 months even though my yoga teacher was telling me that I needed to rest. So there! I've rested!

Anyway, then of course as always when I'm exercising I had many ideas running through my mind and was going to come home and do lots of things. Then I got home and decided to watch Ratatouille. (thank you cousin who received the Disney collection box set for Christmas!) And that was it. Nothing else really got done. But I shall have to write a list and hopefully do something about some of it today. If I can function after this rude awakening that has resulted in chats with one of my poor sick sisters and me downloading the blogger app to my iPhone!

Best go back to trying to sleep as I actually do have plans and need to get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow! ... Whoops, today actually.

Odd Freedom

It's a Saturday night and I'm settled in ready with my ice-cream and chocolate to watch a movie. I finished off at uni on Friday and don't have to go back until next year.... it's an odd feeling. No briefs to think about. Almost freedom... I start full time work on Monday. Another odd feeling. It's just a bit odd all around at the moment! It's going to be an interesting week to say the least but I am totally excited for it. I have a feeling my Sunday is going to slip away like crazy!
