Hey readers. Old habits die hard and it seems I'm already back into the poster making. Looking forward to my walls of wisdom, but I'll miss being able to walk in my room without bombardment of information. Oh well, the price you pay for good marks I guess.
Just randomly, this is the breakfast of champions. It looks like some sort of decadence but it's three weetybix, a generous serve of chocolate chex, sprinkle of muesli, dollop of strawberry yogurt and lots of diced strawberry. YUM.
It's super bitey and almost sour but wakes you up in the morning.
What else has changed on Gemma's agenda? Well plenty of party planning going on here. Should I put the jumping castle here, or there? Urgh! Also in dire need of large carboard boxes to paint cool figuires and booths on.
Some wicked things I'm thinking of buying ( will have to buy them soon if I want them shipped in time ) are these babies off Etsy. Ebay demands ridiculous prices for popcorn bags!
Check out the store for casual browsing and awe.
Also on the shopping list is a replacement for my poor poor lonely USB tablet. A long time ago the pen was lost and it's a waste having the machine by itself because the pen is essential. Ouch to the backpocket because buying a single replacement pen is over $100.
Damn. I really want to blog cute little drawings alongside my stories to make it more interesting.
Back to the party talk, it's a costume party so I've been studying up on what I'll wear. Hard choices people but here's some ideas for you lucky ones invited:
The wild animals (lion, cougar, cheetah)
A clown or jester
A gypsy
An acrobat or contortionist
The strongman (real muscles encouraged - wink)
But watch out everyone - because I'm the ringmaster ;)
Perhaps not that sexy, but why not!
The ideas are fairly limitless and you can come as elaborate as desired!

On a differrent note, I've come to recognise some curious characters at my local park due to my regular running. Let's break down our stereotypes -
Old Man Endurance - that one old bloke who'se golden brown from too much time in the sun and seems to run endlessly. It's humiliating!
Strange Horizontal Runner - this old chap who runs horizontal lengths of the football field instead of the entire length. He also runs in a really 'flat' way without lifting his knees much. Picture Kath and Kim style, fairly comical.
Fitness Couple - a super babe in lycra and tights with a chunky man who jog a lap of the park then begin some fitness programme together. Throw a football, do some situps. Makes me feel lonely jogging by myself!
Scary Grouch - it's this old geezer who wears the same cap every time I see him and has a big mutt dog. The last time we interacted he made fun of my dog and called it a fluffy mop too afraid to play with his dog in dog park. We don't like this man anymore.
Poodle Maltese Strollers - the old ladies who walk their tiny snouted white fluff balls who lunge and try to take out my ankles when I overtake them.
Gasping Middle-Aged Woman - it's the post baby mums or ladies who've just been lazying around too long. Good on them for getting out and giving it a shot but the sadness in their eyes when a tall teenager jogs past while they speed walk is a little saddening. Sorry!
Hot Guy - this one is a super rare sighting. Ocassionaly a delicious man will be jogging toward you and you both exchange looks of appreciation and understanding of one other's effort for super hot fitness body. Enjoy the view before it sprints right past.
Feral Local Schoolkids - yeah so what If I used to be a schoolkid too, I didn't jest or call out at people running past. My serious running face did not encourage you cat calling me at all. Yuck!
Awkward People You Know - it seems I keep bumping into this same father and son who also do martial arts with me and eat at the restraunt where I work. They're lovely people but it's strange that they see me around everywhere! Plug in headphones and feign ignorance that you saw each other.
All these characters I bump into and observe when I go running. An update on my fitness, every day I run I can go a little bit further before slowing to a walk. It's not tons of progress but I'm still proud. God my butt and calves burn though!
I'll leave you readers with a picture of my puppy dog because. . . well I don't really need a reason. I love her.
