Word of the day: penultimate

Posted by Aj on Tuesday, November 29, 2005 at 9:50 am

I think penultimate is very nice word. So much so that it deserves status of word of the day. The reason why I even thought of it is because it is Tomas' penultimate day at work today. Today is my ultimate. There is festivities and frivolities happening this afternoon.

Getting excited now. Not just about the wedding but also the honeymoon. I've just booked us on a sunrise penguin walk. Yay penguins (c:

We're seeing the photographer tonight and I will be paying the florist this afternoon.

In other news - I was deliriously happy last night. Those who know me well, know I love grocery shopping and finally after almost three years of planning - my shopping centre opened yesterday. I say my shopping centre, it's really Newmarket's shopping centre. We went there last night to buy milk. The girl at the checkout joked that coming shopping might have been the highlight of our day, and I think she was right.

Evil, evil, chocolate bullets

They are evil. I think I completely undone my morning's exercise.

9 more sleeps!

Posted by Aj on at 12:10 pm

It had occured to me that I should really be counting down in the traditional manner of counting down to important events - sleeps. So there are 9 more sleeps until the wedding; 1 more sleep until Tom's bucks night (which I have been granted special permission to join in on for part of it); 3 more sleeps until my Hen's afternoon or Party for Amanda I have dubbed it. 5 more sleeps until my last day at work; and finally 11 more sleeps until we leave for New Zealand.
 
Planning for the wedding is coming along well, just a few more things to actually organise, the rest is just paying for things - fun!
 
For those of you who are reading this at work - I have 3 and a half days of work left until I have a month's holiday. Don't mean to brag.
 
Finally, I had my last actual Bootcamp this morning. I will miss Bootcamp while I'm away. As hard as it is, I do actually get some enjoyment out of it and I definately have a sense of achievement at the end of each session. Especially, the one we had on Tuesday where we ran to Kangaroo Point Cliffs from the Beach at Southbank, run up and down the stairs a couple of times and then ran back. I only walked a little tiny bit. I was very pleased! If anyone is interested in some group personal training, I highly recommend Luke from Revolution.
 
Like Ben, I must get back to work now.

11 days to go!

Posted by Aj on Monday, November 21, 2005 at 12:36 pm

It's a bit worrying but its only 11 days until Tomas and I get married. I'm not worried about actually marrying Tom, that bit is the good bit. It's all the little things that still need to be organised and paid for.

If you haven't yet bought us a present (ahem Ben), the four things at the top of our blog are at the top for a reason (hint, hint). If you're still stuck I'd like some some nice editions of some classic literature. Alternatively, if you would like to buy us something of the toaster ilk, then I won't say no to some Jamie Oliver Tefal cookware. Enough fishing for presents.

Apart from the wedding, the other thing to be taking up the majority of the time is exercise. Vanessa and I have been bootcamping for five weeks now. I have actually been enjoying it. This morning I shocked myself and got up early and went for a run. A real jog with no walking and it included stairs.

Personalise your Google.

Posted by Aj on Friday, November 04, 2005 at 7:32 pm

I noticed today that Google is finally allowing us Australian plebs to 'personalise' Google.com.au. The link has probably been there for days.
So this afternoon I customised Google to show me ABC news, ABC sports, and The Chaser. This coupled with the Gardening Australia feed that was already on the page gives my Google home page a distinct theme. It would be cool if you could see what other people had on their pages.
In other news, Ben has started working at WMS. Its a bit strange having him there but at least he has a sense of humour - unlike his predecessor.
