RIP Eartha, baby.

Pretty upset at the news of Eartha Kitt's death.
Ms. Kitt is amazing.
My Grandfather is going to be totally heartbroken.

Purrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh dear...

Christmas was amazing!


I wore my beautiful Laura Ashley dress today. I felt the prettiest I have felt in a long time, inside and out. My hair looked fucking fantastic and my new heels are so sickly sweet.
I was so spoilt today but one of the highlights, apart from the money, the fake deer head, flamingo fairy lights and my newest addition to my crying child collection, was the six feet under box set.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch that series I never get sick of it. I am soo glad I can add it to my collection. It will always hold a place in my heart, well, as much as a tv show can.
Other stand out gifts were Dylan Moran tix, The Preacher comic series, Jeff Buckley vinyl, a rose shaped lamp, jewellery, perfume... ahhhhh I am a lucky lucky lady.
Plus we are going overseas early next year... I. Cant. Wait.

Frankie is getting bigger. I swear he gets noticeably bigger everyday and it blows my mind.
He is too big to sleep on my chest anymore so he has started doing this 'spooning' thing with me. Its so beautiful and sleeping at my parents house the past couple of days has made me realise I cant sleep properly without him. I love my kitty-face so much, I cant live without him and I don't care how fucking lame that sounds.

Oh dear, I am too drunk and tired to write anymore.

Ps.
All I can do is laugh and laugh and laugh. Luxworth forevz.

I can't be fucked...

(Look at my pretty house!!!!)

So this will be just a quick update!

I FINALLY got approved for a house, well, approved for one that I really wanted!
Its super sweet!
Air-con, fresh paint, all new kitchen (brand new stove etc) and bathroom, sweet neighbours, awesome backyard, great size apartment and it's only 5mins away from where I am living at the moment. I really didn't want to move out of the area, so it's totally perfect!
I really, really wanted it!
I move in on the 16th, so, the housewarming will be one of the weekends after that.
I'm thinking a tea-party in the backyard? I got a doughnut maker for Xmas!!!! Plus I finally bought the "Afternoon Tea" cook book by Frankie and I also have that amazing cookie book!!!!!!
It'll be fantastic!

Plus, plus PLUS! I got a brand new washing machine! I'm amazed at how excited I am about it, but it's totally awesome! Its really fancy and thanks to the government, I get $200 back! Awesome times.

3 sleeps till Christmas. Fuck. Yes.

Just so you know!

Actually, i'm feeling fantastic.
The best I have felt in a LONG time.
Getting a job. Going to be a manager...
I feel like Rose again!

SUCCESS! FINALLY!

The change I didn't want to make, actually, was the best thing for me!

Now, if only I could find that perfect unit. Oh & a gym that wasn't so overpriced!

Update on the unit of death.

So apparently, I was accepted.

I got a phone call yesterday.

But I declined.

It was faaaaaaar too small.

I am inspecting a house today. I really, really, really, reaaaally want it.

Fingers and toes croseed.

Thanks.

Rose.

Just quickly...

I inspected a house today, that, without exaggeration, was the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen.
One of the walls looked exactly like the picture above.
I'm sorry, that's not a wall, that's a fucking fence.
They want $200 a week.

Seriously, if I don't find a house soon I am going to go insane.

I want my old fucking house back.

Breathe.

Unit of death....

I didn't get it.

Which is totally cool, because the more I thought about it the more it just wasnt right.
I was going to have to buy a whole new bed (which is bullshit because mine is totally awesome and I didn't want to have to buy a new one.) because the bedroom was waaaay too small. The walk-in wardrobe was awesome but a MASSIVE waste of space.
Plus I was going to have to spend money on a security screen for the front door, I can't stand having a closed front door all day, plus a sliding door for the veranda so Frankie wouldn't get out....
Also, having to say goodbye to some of my stuff because the unit was too tiny... no thank you.

So on with the hunting I go.

On the upside I went to IKEA yesterday, spent waaaay too much money, but that's ok.
I got the most amazing 'couch-side' table for less than half the price in the "as is" section. So awesome. Although, I didn't really think about it and had the most hilarious time trying to jam it into the back of the Camry.
I got nearly everything I needed in the way of pots and pans...
And of course, no trip to IKEA is complete without a random assortment of impulse buys. Check out these guys!

Because I can....

I'm bored and waiting for a friend to show up.

Another thing to add to my wish list for Xmas. This book is tooooooo fucking cute.
My brain melted.

PS. Thanks again Ebay. My flamingo fairy lights are too amazing for words.

Dear Ebay,

Thank you so much for the beautiful fake deer head.
It is going to look amazing on my wall.

Oh how I love you.

Yours forever,
Rose.
xoxo

Ps. Please let me win those fairy lights I have been watching for days.

Jitter Bug.

So I *hopefully* find out if I have this place tomorrow.
Well, not the place in the picture above. I'm pretty sure that house belongs to Minnie Mouse. Although, if Minnie wants, i'll totally move in with her. Oh man! I could borrow her awesome dresses and bows! But I hate Donald Duck, always have, always will.
ANYWAY...
I keep going back and forth in my mind as to whether or not I actually want it. It is rather small.... but then again, I don't really need that much space.
AH! Who am I kidding, I have sooooooo much stuff!

It's a nice place. Red feature walls and weird little cut outs in the walls- Just perfect for all my trinkets! Plus a brand new wine rack mounted on the wall. AWESOME!
I just have a strange feeling about it. Sometimes I am massively excited, hoping I get it and then other times I find myself freaking out about how it's too small and dark.

I don't know!!

Ben freaked me out tonight with one of his bullshit hypotheticals! I'll fill you in-
When I arrived at the inspection on Saturday, there was a notice on the unit door addressed to the previous tenant. The real estate had reason to believe that the unit had been abandoned and that she (ex-tenant) wasnt able to access any of the stuff she had left behind. Strange.
When we all shuffled inside we were welcomed by a brand new coffee coloured couch and a bed in the bedroom. Not to mention all of this girls half drunk bottles of vitamin water, coat hangers, shampoos, cleaning products etc and about 4 packets worth of cigarette butts on the veranda!! Hahaha, apart from all this, the unit is rather nice, in a good area and inside a rather new block of flats.

But how Ben freaked me out was, we gots to talking about what happened to this girl!? Why did she just up and leave all her shit? Is she in hospital, in a coma, with no family?? Was she murdered!? OR did she leave in the middle of the night to escape her boyfriend/pimp/mafia/poltergeist, all of whom could come back for revenge! Break in and kill me instead!!!!!!!

The realtor said that all the furniture belonged to them now and for an extra $5 a week we could keep the couch and bed, FOREVER! No thank you. I don't want some possible dead girls couch!

Yeah, I know. Too many soaps. But what if!!!!!?

Oh silly me.

But i'll let you know how it goes!
I'm going to be doing an IKEA run real soon. I'm feeling crafty.... I think I may paint a small coffee table bright green and put my glue gun to use.
Plus I need saucepans and the like. I can't believe I dont own any of that shit. I own everything else...


Failing this unit, I have two more inspections lined up for tomorrow. I'm hoping that if the death unit people do call me, it's after I have inspected the other two places. I just need to see what else is out there.... you know. I'm not being unreasonable.
Meh!
Meanwhile, death unit real estate better clean the unit before I go in. Because, seriously, what the fuck guys!? The place was a fucking sty! The place isnt even that cheap. Cunts.

Anyway, I do love a good ramble.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles just finished on channel 10. Man, I love that movie and goddamnit I love John Candy! Uncle Buck - GENIUS!
Actually, in a really recent episode of Family Guy they parody PT&A. Goodtimes.

Ok, sleepy time, if I fall asleep, right now, I will get maybe an hour to an hour and a half sleep if i'm lucky before Frank wakes up. I don't think i will be that lucky!

PS. 24 days till Christmas. FUCK! YES!

ICE CREAM CAKE PAN!!!!

So I just found this...... HOLY. CRAP.

Just putting it out there, if anyone wants to buy me this uh-may-zing cake pan for Christmas, I will be forever grateful! Oh my god.

Thats all for now. I is going back to bed. Ugh.

Rose.

PS. '4:20' LOLZ.

5am

Every morning, like fucking clockwork, at 4am, my cat Frank, wakes up.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed. AWAKE!
He goes to the toilet, stinks out the place and then attacks my feet until I get up.
I am going insane.
Hence this blog. Maybe it will give me something to do between scooping Franks poop and waiting for the morning kids cartoons to come on (bless you ABC2).

I don't really like "blogs"... I mean, I enjoy reading ones written by other people but actually writing one myself... don't care too much for it. But i'm going to give it a shot.
I had a livejournal once. Actually, I had two accounts. HAHAHA. What a total pile of balls that was! Sometimes I go back and read my old posts.....soo. bad.

I don't have high hopes for this blog either.....
But we'll just see what happens, eh?

I was once a journal fiend! I have boxes (shoe boxes), full of books with journal entries, little scribbles, show tickets, bits of material from favourite dresses from my childhood, I love that stuff. I havent written in a while, maybe this is my chance... maybe I will spill my gutz..... maybe i'll just whinge about my cat waking me up at 4am, my boyfriend not taking enough showers and how everyone needs to get off poor Lindsays back.

We'll see.

Rose.
