Since it has taken me so long to get back to writing I realise it will not be easy to just start with something new and interesting or even relevant. So I have decided to let this blog be about all things random. I simply do not have the energy to sort through my thoughts and develop a logical, planned write up on a particular subject.
To start off with...I am typing on my new DELL Vostro. Its beautiful and mine. OURS. Technically because it was Mat who paid for it but i am using it and will be taking it with me when I go to Papua New Guinea in September.
I considered giving it a name but the excitement of having it with me and the desire to start using it put all other thoughts off my mind. Now I believe its too late. My Dell will remain as,'it'.
Onto other topics equally mundane; I came across a whole series of blogs that where authored by women on make up! and they have giveaways and competitions and so much of traffic flowing through. I was amazed and drawn like a moth to flame. Couldn't wait to take part in one of the comps and win some 'mac' or 'bobbibrown'. sigh.
The only draw back was the things you need to do to qualify. Like publicly follow them on google friend connect - which btw I ddnt know existed. The women writing those blogs sound so happy, cheerful, pink. They are what women who talk abt make up sound like. I love make up. Adore products and all things madly expensive but I cant write abt it... I think to myself, what a waste. I would rather use the product and review it.
Often I find myself wanting to review a certain restaurant, play, shampoo but the inclination stops there. Although the words have formed in my head. I never manage to put it down on paper or screen.

I shared this blog with a friend today. I did so a little embarrassed and hesitantly. I found myself trying to recollect all the things I have written here and resisting the urge to sit and go through all my old posts. After sharing it, my friend had a look and came back saying that it felt as though I was walking alongside rambling.
It made me feel a little better but the I am still not completely at ease.
I thought it would be a good idea to give an update on some of what has been happening in my life.
- I have a camera - gifted to me by Mat which I carry around everywhere. Mat degardingly referred to it as the 'Mummy Cam' i.e. Point and shoot.
- I am working at an organisation I had dreamed I would one day be working for. The salary sucks but the people and work is amazing.
- I have made more friends over the last two years than I have over the last 24 years.
- I am part of Rotaract. I love it.
- I have been out of touch with the drama scene and although I miss it - I haven't done anything about it
- I am leaving my awesome organisation and travelling to Papua New Guinea in September to work on HIV&AIDs communications. I will be gone for a year.
- I desperately hope it happens.
- I have become lazy and although I am involved in a crazy amount of projects, initiatives and groups I am not doing much of anything and this is driving me mad.
- I suck at being a wife. I don't cook. I hate cleaning. I am never home. I make a mess of the room every morning. I am only successful at doing laundry.
Going to close this post cos I have lost my train of thought! :(
