Weekend Over... Does it matter when you're unemployed?

Wow... life seems on cruise mode at the moment...

Today was Monday and I had no Monday-itis!! I tell you what, I am seriously thinking about going to see the World Vision people and asking them to sponsor me rather than some poor unfortunate in Africa. This life of lazy luxury is actually getting appealing!!

But it can't last forever, but I can report that I am now talking to three job prospects, all of which I would take in a flash... so hopefully it won't be long now.

Now, the weekend... (am trying to work out what was different about the weekend in comparison to Friday or today?)

Saturday we did the Dancing / Shopping routine and the sad thing for me is that I have given up playing cricket this summer and I was being given score updates as to how the boys were progressing without me (poorly!) and I ensconsed myself on the lounge on Saturday night to watch the two football finals that were on, including my own team the Dragons who also played poorly to be smashed out of the competition...

Sunday... well we went out for lunch... and I watched more football! It was a bit of a second Fathers Day given Niki and the Girls were so sick the weekend before.

Now today, well that wasn't much different...

Wonder what I will do tomorrow??

Classic Nerd Comedy

I have said I don't play World of Warcraft... this is why!

Very funny...

On The Painting Desk - Khemri Done

Have finished my Khemri Blood Bowl team... even played a match with them today (and won!).

Quite happy with the way they turned out... the pinning of the pieces was extraordinary in that each miniture was actually 8 seperate bits (except the Mummies which were a full casting).

Very fiddly to put together, was really put off doing it in the first place because of it, but now that they're done, I am happy with the look of the team!

Khemri Mummies

2 Blitz-Ra's and 2 Thro-Ra's... really happy with the eyes on these guys

The Skeletons... differing helmets are a nice touch.

Team Shot!

All up, this has taken me about 6 weeks to do, but I do paint teams in a sporadic fashion... 15mins here, an hour here etc... the pinning though took more than the painting!

Fathers Day Wrap - Spewing!

Well, the weekend started off well with dinner out on Friday night at Restaurant Como at Blaxland and then the Saturday was family day with afternoon tea with Niki's parents at her sisters and then dinner with my parents Saturday night... all was well.

Then at around midnight, Kate threw up in bed... sheets changed etc etc... then she threw up again. And again and again and again... between midnight and 4am, she threw up about 30 times. Nothing solid by that stage, but she was dry reeching very badly.

Then just as she settled down pre-dawn, little Brookie started as well... and by dawn, Niki was joining them! So Fathers Day morning found me in rubber gloves, sponges, buckets and cleaning up after them all.

I myself, solid as a rock, not even queezy!

Then we found out that all of Niki's sisters family was also ill and it turns out it stemmed from my brother in law's mother who had fallen ill on the Friday and we all caught it.

Then Niki's parents went down on Monday with it... and yet I am still fine... I even ordered myself a pizza for dinner on Sunday night as my Fathers Day lunch was cancelled and nobody other than the pets or I was hungry.

Happy to report, that the girls are now ginger but have recovered and the worst of it only lasted during the Sunday... so we'll try to do our Fathers Day plans next weekend.

Spewing!

Honey! You need to...

give me a blow job now! Otherwise some "heavies" will get us... don't ask questions, just do it!

This would have to be the funniest story I have read in ages... what an idiot!

US Presidential Elections - YAWN

The running mate of John McCain's teenage daughter is pregnant and there is a story breaking now that the potential VP of the United States also had an extramarital affair...

We've had Obama vs Hilary... we've had Clinton sex scandals prior to that...

Its all too much and goes on for far too long!

When is this election happening? Enough already!

Still about...

Went into the city yesterday for a couple of meetings re finding a new job and whilst they went well, I still am truly a number of weeks at least away from finding something... its amazing how slow the job search process can take and today marks 2 months since being paid out at my last company.

Financially, because of the pay out, I am relaxed, but I have to say that the weekdays are starting to get a bit long and I am keen to do "something".

When I do find something and sign a contract, I will be happy and delay the start for as long as I can so that I can actually do something meaningful here...

So in the meantime, I am perusing the adverts, making calls, chasing leads and such and such... would rather be in holiday mode though!
