Something for 'this' weekend maybe?

Have I died and gone to bag heaven? This is adorable.

Overnight bag - vintage travel design

A beautiful overnight bag with ‘Something for the Weekend’ embroidered on the poppered front pocket. The bag also has two pretty charms: a metal plane and a pvc postage stamp embossed with ‘travel in style’. A handy zipped inner pocket and phone pocket help keep your valuables safe.

Kudos to the lovely Megan from Charade for this fabulous find!

I've got a thing for maps, and old school envelopes and this vintage shape of bag...SO this is perfect!

I will have you...one day soon!
Miss Deb

Alma..

Caught in a daydream...

This week has been so surreal...much like this creation by Ninja vs Penguin.

It doesn't feel like my last week of freedom and yet thoughts of Monday release the swarm of butterflies in my tummy. I've decided to tidy the house and organize my wardrobe before the chaos starts but so far, I've only mustered enough drive for the cleaning part. It's like I'm walking around in a daze...

It's been one of those weeks that so much has happened it feels like a month's gone by - we got into a car accident the other day (don't worry, nobody was hurt) and my parents came home from holiday to find the family broken into. Sigh...I know it all happened for a reason but because I've been feeling anxious about it all that now it's sorted I'm feeling numb today and tired. Boo...this is lame...

Think I'll go for a swim to clear my head!

Hugs,
Miss Deb

Made me smile...

Hello chickadees,

I've had a nightmare couple of days but I was reading one of my favourite blogs - by the gorgeous Sarah Von and came across this...

I am this happy...

And it feels like the excitement is going to explode out of my body!

I got the CLEO job I was hoping and wishing and praying for!!

It sort of happened all at once yesterday...

I got 2 calls for 2 interviews - one for a copywriter position and the other for a youth camp leader position so I was thinking to myself, this is nice. Especially after my last post haha...

Then in the afternoon, I got a call from the magazine. When the call ended, I screamed and jumped around like a mad person for a bit before I regained composure to call the boy.

I am so so so stoked. I know it's going to be hard and a bit of an uphill climb at first but I finally feel, for the first time in a long while, that I'm headed in the right direction. I know this because I lay awake smiling last night while I was lulled by a montage of my thoughts, images and ideas for the job doing a happy line dance together in my head..

Mmmm, this is good.
Miss Deb

Be gone all you obstacles!

So, why has the blog river run dry despite the fact that my iBaby is up and running?

Hit by a nasty cold - check
The kind that makes you feel like someone emptied your brains out and refilled it with cotton wool. Ugh! It was the worse timing ever because I was almost through my exercise 'threshold'! It's frustrating but I guess I know I've almost done it once, so when I try again I'll be just that little bit closer.

Popped my hip out of place - check
Before you freak out, please know that I am on the mend now. I've been to the chiropractor twice and I've got one last appointment on Friday. Now, if you move your attention to the diagram above...my S1 was the bit that popped out of place. It's the attaching bit to your hip and the bit of your spine that's closest to your behind when your sitting. I still don't know how I did it but I just happen to notice a hard bump on my lower back and it hurt when I tried to squish it away like you would a knot or pinched nerve. I found out what was really poking out when I was at the doctors and he reckons it was caused gradually by bad sitting posture...so our couch is the culprit...yeah yea yeah, and me for sitting there for long periods of time. My spine has been snapped and cracked back into place now and I even had some sort of electric pulses and a special physio ultrasound thingy done to me to help the torn tissue heal faster. Ah, chiropractic care, you've done it again!

Dang it, when it rains it sorta pours though doesn't it. I was just telling the boychum the other day that I was feeling a whole lot better about our new life here...then I get hit by one uphill climb after another. Good news is, once all the uphill bits are over, what's left? The view from the top and the easy fun ride down! So bye bye tough stuff and hello good times!

Which part of the 'hill' are you at right now? :)

Gentle hugs for now..
Miss Deb

It's ALIVE!

Unfortunately we were unable to retrieve anything off the hard drive but thankfully my last back up was in January. Funnily enough though, my most productive 3 weeks were between then and now so not a speck of those articles or photos from my birthday were saved! Alas, such is life. Everything happens for a reason right?!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'm back. Terribly brain dead from getting my laptop back to the way I like it so goodbye for now!

Catch ya
Miss Deb
