we pearljammed

soooooooooo; stilllllll hovering on vibe after the pearl jam concert and our family time away.

most romantic and amazing thing my hoosband has ever done, is come and find me in the moshpit!!!! sounds redonnnnculous i know; buttttttt he's not the fan i am; and he wove and weft through the sweaty bodies until he found me.... and we were serenaded together by mr vedder; it wasssss wonnnderful!!!!!! what better way to spend a night eh?!

and then we fammmmmed it up in vegas for the next couple of days. we did the touro thing and went to south bank and goma and on the big wheel and r st parklands (lots), and restaurants. it was specccctacular! great to look at brissy from that viewpoint. wonderful to see bcc has put dosh into beautification; and really; when you step back and look at it from a visitor point of view; all of those things are soooo important. great to see they take them seriously.

was sssssssssseriously inspiring going to goma. saw a couple of excellent works; but most of it was closed as a leadup for the triennial; butttttt the architecture was fannnntasticoooo! hadnt been to goma before; and it lived up to all i was expecting. faboo arch and super landscaping also. just bussssting to go to cloudland now; to check out their design; and scout out some more groove in the valley and spring hill. didnt make the trip anywhere near as worky as i could have; great to chill w fammmmmily!!!!

so website is clooooooose to up; which is super; and then i may get into some goal setting. personal and busi-ness!

haaaaaaaaaaappppy monday!

douglas painting contractors...

'ronny' apparently lives forever under the three coats he now wears.

in agreement with kylie's painting post:

http://kyliedouglas.blogspot.com/2009/11/im-thinking-about-paint.html

webbbbbbsite shorganised!

so turns out that this WLC is the best thing ever! it would seem that one's rear has managed to move from neutral, and i dont even really remember much teeth grating or cog grinding. FANNNtasmo!

got my lauradouglas.com.au back online, and brassrazu.com.au is soon to be up also. withhhhh a nice lil schpiel about creative conceptual consultancy.

back to sweating my way towards dehydration... commmmme onnnn precipitation!!!!

toodles!

welcome nae!

hooooray to have lil feisty nae on board too!!! maybe now we have sevvven (nay eight counting sharyn!) awesome chicks; we should just take over the world or something?

affffter our coffees!

i raced.

right sooooo. races. tick. my feet are, are, are.... unticked. they are in fact two gaint, sporadically numb calluses. which is not what im after in feet. apparantly twelve hours in 4inch wedges will do that to feet. a fact i seem to remember only after the fact; though i do so very almost always come to the conclusion; ITS WORTH IT!

so, bosslady sharyn; i thinkkkkkkk i led change!!! you can go to the races and be as all over the place as i crazily ammmm and stillll be sober!! neat-o! so; thats got to be leading change! judging by the vacant, delayed facial facade of the millionstrong crowd as i finally surrendered to my ground holders' pitiful pleas, and hobbled back to the cleverly close car, sober wasnt really in abundance this year. so leading we are!

hooo rah!

spoke to a very cool chick from clermont; who is in a communications and structuring business; about my proposed conceptual consultancy; and wondered if her services may even come in to play with some of the larger organisations. very intriguing gal; and look forward to giving her a call to chat some more about it.

so yesssssss; there was actual work involved in this post!!!!!! but speaking with her; and to a few others; am coming to embrace the fact that i have much more tearing around in my head than graphic design. must utilise! apparently its not to be ignored! so two enthusiastic thumbs up from me; great timing to get my assssssss into gear to get this next stageshowontheroad!!!!!

thannnnnks bag!!!!

loooopy it is...

right so, loopy it is!

had the women leading change forum yesterday; it was great! got to listen to things that seemed to make sense to most people; one of these days ill brush up on my cantonese, i also look forward to the day im happy to retain that sort of knowledge!!!! there were some excellent points made, lots of info put out there for everyone to absorb; i chose to absorb water; had two bottles, nice and cold, which is what i get excited about... on days like these! really was great though; easy to understand and very relevant.

happyharris to be the contributing factor of loopiness yesterday. always glad to help out where i can. !!!!!!!!!

very very seriously now though; it was very exciting to hear all the gals get up and talk about their business ideas and their projects they are devoting their souls to. very most excellent presentations from all the girlyjigs! well DONE! love it love it and look forward to helping some of them coconut up their shcemes; and enhance their originality and pitch as part of my new project. all good, all cool.

though its not really though is it; im nineparts melted into my acrylic weave chair, and considering entirely that perhaps i really am mostly husky. the only thing that holds me back from complete conviction of that theory, is that im pretty bloody useless during winter too. anything could happen, as long as i stay warm. to an equal extent in the warmer months, although of course i prefer a chilled personal bubble in any such schteeemy times.

so; awwwfully difficult to stay focused in the heat; of course we havvve air conditioning and of verrrry course its not working at the moment. J. O. Y.

got to love it.

pretty sure i was nowhere near a pioneering type in my past lives. maybe i was a seapirate; but not an inland dweller at that stage; unless of course i was a bunyip. quite easily could have been as i dont mind a quick cool off; and i really would have only had myself to fear.

tick to bunyip.

and also to seapirate. stripes are classic.

so; again; not a lot learned from my blog; except the fact that i am quite able to fill a small sized text box with random clatter in about seven minutes. give or take. seven and a half in this heat.

confirmation on the rolling of the women leading change forum ball; heavily glad its not made of snow; and am feeling very enthusiastic about our next 'mission'! zealousness dependent naturally on the amount of toffee and mint offered. - note for sharyn!

def confirmation also on the loopy; glad to spread it around; many ideas come from loopy; think ill go and make something stripy!

LAND HO!

and so it begins...

wellll hello! webeginwebeginweeeeebeeeegin!

never blogged before; so lets just put some seatbelts on and stay focused and hope for the best eh?!

this blog is part of the women leading change forum in mitchell; qld. pretty coooool to be involved; am hoping that sharyn will soon point out exactly whoooo the women leading change are that we are supposed to follow!!! never been much of a follower; but it sounds like if its at all businessy i should probably slipstream for a while.

im creative evvvvverything; could rename every object in the house with an original name if required, within the hour... butttttt the thought of completing a (stage whisper) business plan (return to normal volume), does so convince my stomach it needs to return the last deposit, hastily.

anyway; looking forward to rhhhhah just putting all those random businessy things im not overly schooled in out there; and seeing where this WLC gravitron takes us!!!!!

cooool! first blog almost complete; feeling a lot like the first night of my first camp when i vowed to write in my pretty lil book every night; annnnnd then i got caught up w the runaroundnutcasekidgames each night; and the sparse, subsequent entries almost allllways began 'sorry its been so long diary'. hoping that 18 years on; i mayyy be able to tick the frequent logging box. if not; i may have to return in my next life as a beaver.

tahrahhhhh!
