Making me smile - it's the small things

So May is over, party month, Bali month, the good month...it's back to reality now and I'm resorting to the little things that make me smile to get me through the days.

I stopped last week to make a little list:

Kangaroos - call me a hillbilly but I just LOVE stopping to watch the kangaroos when they are out. Last week on the way to school these guys were still out and about so we turned around and drove back up our road to watch them for a while.


Spontaneous trips to the brewery - I was feeling sorry for myself after having to endure a quiet weeekend. Next minute we were at the brewery having a beer...Cheers Von!


My Love Seat - When I bought this couch on ebay a few years ago it was advertised as a 'love seat'. I don't get to spend much time on her anymore but love her all the same. She lives in my office and this week I spent way too many hours in there so it was nice to spend some time on her when I needed a break!

 
 
Exam Results - It is with great pleasure that I annouce I didn't get a High Distinction, or even a distinction. But praise the Lord, someone was looking after me. I managed a credit without even finishing the exam. The C will look amiss amongst the HD's on my CPA record to date but a pass is a pass right? And I definitely didn't put as much effort in for this one. The bad news is I have to enrol in the next unit now. Onwards and upwards Miranda...half.way.there!

Emme Kate - this kid really cracks me up! It was no surprise finding her like this...but I couldn't stop smiling! I wanted three boys - she is certainly trying her hardest for me!


Budgeting - It's that time of year...the excitement is building. This years budget hasn't had to account for a new neck or an overseas holiday. I could probably buy a small island instead? Here's to saving some $$$ this year! Or blowing them all on a last minute Melbourne trip...take me back...


New Files - Back to the office - I resolved to splurge on coloured files for my end of financial year preparations. Alas, Big W AND Officeworks had black files on sale that I just couldn't pass up. I just had to smile at my inner scrooge winning out over my desire for colour and fun...I think I'm in the right job?


Bulk buying - The biggest laugh this week....my savvy shopping! I found it ironic that my doctor reccommended my husband have the big 'V' the day I splurged on 80 condoms! I wasn't sure if my stock up of condoms made me a savvy shopper or a borderline hooker? A few texts to some friends to find out and I was discovering all sorts of weird and wonderful things thanks to the power of the iPhone! It takes a bit to make me blush but I certainly had my fair share of blushes on Friday afternoon! And for the sake of the privacy of those friends - I'll leave it at that!

 
Old songs - Oh my (farking) gosh...Kris told me about this on Triple J Friday morning and I couldn't wait to listen! Oh the memories...take me back to the Vault...those were the days! Do yourselves a favour and have a listen, preferably drunk (and maybe naked??)
 
 
Hope everyone else has been smiling, or at least stocking up on condoms - can't be too careful ;-)
