Winner winner, chicken dinner!

So I won a pretty big doubles pool tournament today with my awesome boyfriend. :) We both played solid all day and in the end won the trophies and  the glory.

Also made it through the first round of State Team Selection yesterday. I LOVE POOL!!!

I have a new baby bunny!

Meet Oreo. He's a rabbit that was never picked up from a kennel and was facing the needle when my animal-loving neighbour friend rescued him. Unfortunately, due to my friend's already busy household (2 children, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 rabbits and maybe some frogs) Oreo did not settle in well and it was agreed he would find some peace and quiet at my house. :)
We aren't sure how old he is, but is apparently full grown. I'm happy about that because I don't really like BIG rabbits. He's still very shy - he wont venture out of the open pen door yet, but he loves to eat thistles from my hand. I've had him only since Saturday and I miss him while I'm at work. I can't wait to cuddle him properly!

Waiting...

EDIT: Lawrence Earnest Perry (Grumpsy) passed away at 3.15pm 16.11.09. May he rest in peace.

Got a call yesterday that my 92 year old great grandfather (Grumpsy) had taken a turn for the worse. I wasn't even aware that he was sick. Mum rang me and said she was going to visit him - he's wasn't expected to make it through to today, but I haven't heard anything yet - so me, mum, my sis and bro took the 1.5 hr drive to Wonthaggi to see him off.

I nearly cried when I first saw him because he was so frail. I haven't seen him since last Dec, and the poor old duffa was asleep with he mouth open and his false teeth out. He didn't wake up while we were there, but he'd had some morphine so he was comfortable.

Grumps used to drive ambulances in WWII and he was deafened by a bomb blast. My whole life it was hard to understand what he was saying to me, so I used to nod and smile and pretend I knew what was going on. LOL! He used to try and cheat at pool when we played and I remember Mum saying that when she fell pregnant with me at 18 he just had the biggest grin on his face (unlike the other unimpressed family members)

I am his eldest great grand child and I will always remember him as the most kind, fuddy duddy old man I've known. I hope he goes peacefully in his sleep today and I hope he knew we were there yesterday to say farewell.

Love ya Grumpsy. Nanna's waiting...

Out of touch

I'm leaving for Ballarat tomorrow arvo for the weekend and may or may not have internet access (I'll be taking the laptop, but not sure of the hotel facilities. If you need to contact me I can check my email on my phone, but I'll be playing pool most of the time. :)

Hopefully the Rare Calendars will be shipping out today to Balaa. As soon as she gets them she will be able to work out weight/dimensions and let everyone on the project know how much shipping costs are. I'm really excited!

My website seems to be playing funny buggers on me. I swear I have uploaded a new merchandise.html page 3 times and it's still showing the old page. It doesn't seem to be overwriting files anymore on my FTP unless I delete the file first and upload. But I was sure I did that anyway...

Grrr!

New website...and sketch.

I've decided to make myself a new website design. I felt the old one was a bit blegh and it was hard to update. I'm keeping the colour scheme though- PINK of course! :)
I don't know much HTML to begin with, but I've been wanting to teach myself CSS for a while. I'm basically learning by doing and the firebug add-on for firefox really helps dissect other sites that have features I want.
I've been listening to the best music lately too - Buddha Bar. I've had vol 8 and 9 for a while now, and I just decided to get 10 and 11.

Here is a doodle I plan on making a into a finished piece. Enjoy! )

Stupid Email Inbox!

My mother keeps sending me these massive attachments that take up all my inbox storage so I haven't been getting all my emails lately. I'm really pissed off that I may have missed something important.

8 things meme :B

1)these are the rules
2)post 8 true things about yourself
3)at the end you must tag 8 people and post their icon
4)then you must go to their page & tell them you got tagged
5)NO tag backs!

1. I have the biggest boobs out of all my friends!

2. My favourite colour is pink, but red looks best on me. The other day I even treated myself to a cute headband with a bow and a flower necklace so I could have a whole red outfit.

3. I still sleep with my toy bunny rabbit I've had since I was 2. His name is Peter and I wedge him into my neck nook like a pillow.

4. I really want to represent my state and my country in 8-ball one day. Hopefully I will make the state team this weekend coming. We are down to the last 16 women. Last year I was first emergency by one frame... :(

5. I do not want my 44 year old mother to have a child with her latest husband. For god's sake - enough is enough. I am adverse to the idea of being 26 years older than a sibling.

6. Foul language warning! )

7. I only accept friend requests on Facebook from people I am friends with IRL and I laugh when people add me who I don't care for or vice versa in the pool scene. :)

8. I have never met my real father, and I'm happy with the one I have now. :p

Hmmm...do I even have enough friends to tag? If you happen to see that I tagged you, go for it, otherwise I'm not going to bug you. :)
