Wooo Weee! So i figure i should post up some pix and do some blogging before i escape to our next destination! We spent the last 3 days at Disneyland and the adventure park in Anaheim...it was so incredible. There are no words to describe the place.
Anyhoo, here are some pix of the start of my journey:
This was after landing at LAX...we got "flipped off" as soon as we left the airport. This is how they say hi in Los Angeles LoL
Look, they have Westfields too!
Rocked up at a Super 8...first night in L.A.
My discovery of Squirt!
On the road going back home:
It looked like a bushfire...
As we approached, it was just damn fog!
This is us inside the fog, how exciting!
Getting closer to home...
The "armpits" of California. I am living in a small town called Taft which is situated on top of petroleum fields.
I have already exceeded 1000 fotos on my camera ^^ The above fotos were only of the initial days here in California. This town is tinyyyyy...most shops are closed or run down. It gets as cold as 3 degree celcius at night and about 12 degree celcius during the day. People are laid back and most work on the oil fields.
Today we departed Anaheim to end our 3 day extravaganza at Disney. Norman's neighbour was kind enough to take us around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Totally hawt...it's so gorgeous here. I think i want to desperately attend UCLA now for my second or final year of forensics.
I'm tired. I'm bummed at the moment. Gotta recover for next destination: Las Vegas, Nevada.
Might post more pix tomorrow...

* * * HAPPY THANKSGIVING! * * *
I can't wait to have my first thanksgiving dinner! How exciting! Less than a week to go before I'll be in Cali-forn-aiiiii-ayyyyy!!! WooT!!!!!!
I'm still not sure whether i should put a halt on my Etsy store sales or not =o/ wahhhh
Today i get my Hep B vaccine shot =o( I hate needles so i think i might faint at the sight of seeing the injection needle - not good.
Similar to the Cervical Cancer vaccine injection, the complete course takes THREE shots =o( NoOoOoOo! Better to be safe than sorry i guess.
Boo has a case of the fleas =o( We've given him his flea treatment thingy so hopefully he'll be flealess sometime soon. He discovered some interesting ways to deal with the itchiness. He's been using the bottom edges of the couch to scratch his back - he gets underneath and rubs against the couch. It's hilarious to watch. I think he feels so good that he starts to grunt when he gets really into it. Hilarious.
The flea treatment course takes up to 4 weeks so hopefully he stops feeling to itch himself soon.
Pictures of Boo below show him making good use of our couch...
And this is him on a different day....
God bless his little heart lolz!
Only he could get away with doing stuff like this =P

Random Ramblings
Time flies! In less than 3 weeks i'll be in Cali-forn-ai-ay! How awesome is that?! I think i should start making a list of crap to pack before my excitement consumes me ^^ Vegas...Disneyland...San Fran...Pismo...Hollywood...Weeeeee! I've been a bit distracted lately working full time hours and only recently had more time to spare.
I bought a simple fondue set a couple of weeks ago and fotos below were taken by my sister of our first fondue night at home =)
I made our neighbour these cute sets of xmas cards to say thanks for letting me carpool with her the last 3 weeks =) I am in love with the pink set - more modern and steps away from the traditional colours HaWt!
Norman and i had our 2 year anniversary last month *big smile* I'm such a lucky girl like you wouldn't believe =) There are so many things about him that make my heart melt and 2 years on, i love him more. So cheesy but tis true.
After working so much this year, i have learnt so much about people. It makes me wonder if in every workplace there are people as unkind as those in my own workplace lol We will call a certain someone Mr A - 'A' for you-know-what. He has this permanent face of distaste like he has something lodged in his rectum - i am not kidding, He never smiles. He must be very unhappy all the time. Mr A scolded me for not purchasing a particular item from our store (i had purchased it from another store in the same shopping complex as us 'coz it was cheaper) and was making lamo comments...what an A-hole. Mr A never says hi to you. Mr A never has anything positive to say. I feel very sorry for Mr A's wife. Mr A is mean to my sister ( My mum, cousin, sister and i all work at the same place). Mr A and his protege, Mr B, is mean to my mum. So that's me venting. Mind you, Mr A is my boss - it might have been more obvious than i thought LoL It's really been bugging me, i am thinking of writing a complaint letter to head office about them and the way they treat staff *sigh*
On a good note, less time at work next year since i'll be back at uni =) Which reminds me, i better finalize all the paperwork for exemptions for my subjects before i leave Aus.
I hope others are going well with their scrapping =) I have been working on more xmas card sets for my sister so hopefully that will be my next post.
Over and out ~~

Yuck yuck yuck
I think too often people forget how to treat one another. I know one of the meanest people - not something i like to declare true but it is. *sigh* i wonder why for some people, bullying comes so easy. Or maybe there is a bully in all of us. lol

Blossoms & Butterflies
This is a new project i am working on atm =) This was what i completed yesterday. Created using papers from DCWV's Blossoms & Butterflies collection. Gorgeous spring colours.
I manually hand cut all these lil cute butterflies...took me forever to but around the edges and the antennaes were the hardest part to cut around =(
After about an hour of watching new episodes of House and Fringe, it came out looking like this...
The glitter rub-ons are from MAMBI, as soon as i saw them i knew they would compliment this paper collection well. I love the 3D effect the butterflies give. There's still a lot to go! Planning to send this into DCWV and hopefully they publish it.
I'm still waiting on this massive patch download for WoW...a whopping 1.2 GB!!!!!! Jeebus! I'm being as patient as i can...DOWNLOAD FASTER ALREADY!!!! hehe
I so don't want or feel like going to work today =o/ I have to support my scrap habit somehow i guess lol not to mention our aussie dollar isn't doing too flash atm and i need all the dosh i can get before i go on vacation WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I just finished the first episode of Paris Hilton's new reality TV series "Paris Hilton My BFF." How funny! Sometimes it's hard to determine whether all this crap is staged or whether it is real lolzor! God bless America...and MTV!
I've been WoW-ing quite a bit lately =o) I didn't realise how much i missed it until i started PvP-ing on my hunter again. I need Normzi to help me out with deciding which new gear to get with all my BG points =) Ryan's back on server with us YAY! Was shocked to hear that he was. We thought he quit lolzors! Turns out his comp failed so he was unable to play ^^ Welcome back =)
I finally completed Carly's gift today! I even made a matching greeting card =) Made from DCWV's paper. The paper is so pretty, i didn't think it needed any additional embellishments.
I finally got a chance to list a set of rhinestones on Etsy today. Adds sparkle to any project! I love them so much <3>
Took me forever to complete but i love the outcome <3>bright blue!!! It came with a combination lock =) 2 more months to go!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait!!!! I miss Norman terribly =( It's so hard this long distnace thing. Too bad i will miss our 2 year anniversary, Halloween and Thanksgiving tho =( Can't believe it's going to be our 2 years next month! How crazy! Cannot wait to cuddle the crap out of him again ^^
Happy scrappy y'all!
