We are about to head to the airport and begin our Thailand adventure!
Wish us well, I'll try and log a few posts along the way but am looking forward to staying away from computers, so I'll see how I go!
Love you all!

New Job
I think I may have already found a new job, how bizarre...
There I was thinking that I'd have months to sit around on the couch watching TV but now it looks like I potentially might even start working as soon as I get back from Thailand.
Funny how things work... oh well, might help to pay off our holiday I guess!

Crap
A bird crapped in my hair this morning while I was waiting for the tram, how bad is that.
There I was sitting down waiting patiently, and suddenly I felt something in my hair, I reached up and yuck.... poo!
How gross, I got out my tissue supply and removed what I could, then sat on the tram convinced that everyone was staring at my poo marked head. Once I got to work I spent several minutes in the bathroom washing my hands and contorting my body to try and see the back of my head.
Then one of the girls I worked with arrived and I had to ask her if she could see anything in my head, and she could. She then offered to help me and removed all traces of the horrible occurance - many thanks!
Some people call getting crapped on by a bird good luck, I am not one of those people, it is really gross and people just say that to try and make you feel better! If I never get crapped on again in my life I will be a happy girl!

The new camera
How exciting, we picked up our new camera yesterday and it is fabbo!
I've posted the first ever pictures we took with it, Bevan got to take the first one as he won a bet we had.
Basically we have been putting all our coins into a big money tin (you know those ones with Australian money pictures on the outside) for about 9 months now. Originally Bevan was saving up to buy an iPod but I bought him one for his birthday so we decided to use the money for a new camera to take on our holiday. We bet how much money we thought was in the tin, I said $1000, Bevan said $600, who ever was closest got to take the first picture with the new camera.
We ended up with about $650 in the tin so Bevan won. I must add however that Bevan has been telling me that after he's been out drinking he's been putting $50 notes in the tin. For the record there were absolutely no $50 notes in the tin, I think Bevan goes out drinking spends lots more than he intends to then by way of explaining the missing money convinced himself that he had put heaps of money in the tin. Anyway as I am not one to hold a grudge I let him take the first photo, which as he is such a sweetie he took a photo of me (although I was grumpy cause I didn't feel I looked my best)...
As you can see, at this stage also we weren't 100% on using the camera, I since worked out we had the camera on the manual setting...
The second photo...
I took this one, but Bevan moved...hopefully over the coming weeks our photography skills will improve!
I will take loads of photos during my epic journey to Queensland this weekend!

New Camera
We have bought a new camera, I am so excited, it's so pretty! I can't wait till we are cruising around Thailand snapping pictures of stuff and then being able to go back later and look at the pictures and remember the fantastic times we had.
The camera is coming from Hong Kong and we have been given this tracking number so we can track the movements of the delivery, I tell you this is addicitive, every hour or so I'm logging in checking out where the parcel is. Yesterday was most boring as the package just sat in the departure louge in Hong Kong taking it easy, but this morning when I got in something had happened, the parcel had moved... it is now in transit, I'm hoping that by the end of the day it will have hit Australian shores and hopefully we'll receive it tomorrow...
Bevan is the lucky one who gets to take the first photo as we had a bet running to see who would win this privilage, so I'll just have to sit back and watch him snap away, but hopefully he'll be nice and let me take the second photo!
Can't wait to publish the first pics from our new camera on the blog!
YAY!

My cous
Bevan and I caught up with my cousin Shaun last night and we had a really great time. It made me think about the fact that I have heaps and heaps of cousins but rarely get the opportunity to spend time with them and get to know them. When you are travelling you get to know new people all the time and forge great connections with people but sometimes when you get back home you stop doing that and just hang with your friends. I think I’m going to try to get to know more of the people I know, if that makes sense.

I quit my job!
Dear Blog, you will be the ultimate recipient of my new found free time (well once I’ve actually finished up and return from Thailand) as I’m going to be an unemployed bum once more. Oh how I’ve yearned for the days of not working, when Adam and I spent months drinking beer whilst sitting in the pool, ahhh I feel young again!
I am happy, very, very happy, to announce that I quit my job on Tuesday and will be finishing up on December 22, how exciting is that! Not sure what I will do next year, but I’m sure something will come up, perhaps my ambitions of being an ice-cream tester will finally come to fruition, or I’ll be able to actually fit in that visit to Sarah and Adam in Sydney.
Biggest thanks has got to go to Bevan for giving me the confidence to actually quit, along with agreeing to feed me while I’m an impoverished unemployed bludger, he’s like my Centrelink!
YAY FOR ME!
