Hmmm...this is starting to feel more normal- attempting to write something for the paper and blogging instead. How we fall back in to our old routines so easily.

But nothing really feels normal right now. Like the fact that Thursday will be December- the very last month of the year that always seems to bring so much stress and anxiety. I'm SO extremely behind on all my holiday projects. Remember those embroidered man panties- haven't even seen the light of day.

Thankfully, with my rockin' new job I'm going to ask for a few days off before the big day so I can try and make a stab at all the things I want to do. It will be best to languish in the relaxed nature of my job now because when next April hits it might be very difficult to keep my head above water- but all that excitement and energy will certainly keep the fire burning.

For now I'll just keep hoping that I can make it through this next month without breaking the bank or hurting someone's feelings! By giving them a really shitty gift or something.

Ahh well. Let the festivities begin!

That has absolutely nothing to do with this post but "My sunglasses were featured in an tourism ad campaign" just didn't ring quite the same and I'm really, really excited about my first rugby practice on Wednesday and the juxtaposition of me- the girl who loves dresses and painting her fingernails- playing rugby.

But back to the point of this post, he he he I'm back, I bought this fabulouso pair of Kate Spade sunglasses that came with a pink leather case (I had a choice of green, black or pink it was so easy to choose) my last day in super fabulouso New York (I was their back in October and I'm still missing it) with my super fabulouso friend Miss Nobody, who I kept telling I just needed a pair of cheap sunglasses and, I mean, I did buy the cheaper pair but I'm just such a sucker for cool shades and today they did me justice.

See the oddity of me playing rugby.

Anyway, my new job has encompassed so many cool and exciting new things including helping to set up for the most simple and beautiful beach wedding, decorating a tent and picking out jewellery for a photo shoot- it's really a whirlwind but there's so much energy and excitement in it all and I'm really tired but so enjoying myself.

But while helping at this photo shoot for a tourism campaign that my boss was asked to do only this weekend I was standing nonchalantly with my cool ass shades on my head (maybe they were also the reason why one of the models asked if I was also going to be part of the shoot with her- uh, do I look like a model, no sir-ee I don't think so) but as everyone else was looking for something interesting to put on the table my sunglasses were just screaming for attention and some how they made it in the shot. I'm so proud of them. I can't wait to see the final product.

Watch the photographer edit them out thinking there was a dead bug on the table.

La bloga, how I miss thee. So many sad hours spent updating you in my previous life now I no longer have full access to bleeding my heart out or snooping around other's blogs.
But I'm not gone yet. Eventually, something heartfelt, funny, meaningful, sad will pop into my head and I will just HAVE to write but for now, I'm still around and will hopefully be back with all my uninsightful jibberish :-(
