Aaaah...

I had soy milk on my porridge today and it was delicious. Who would have thought? (Well, all the soy drinkers, I suppose). I also had fresh passionfruit on it. Is there anything more divine than the smell of fresh passionfruit?

I got a new program at the gym today and it's fun. Fun! It's against the natural order, but in a good way.

Aaaahhh. Gotta love thick new towels and crawling into a freshly made bed. *sighs happily*

Three snippets of glee

My alarm went off this morning (after several snoozes) and I thought it was 8.00 am but it was only 7.50 am, so I got another 10 minutes of oversleeping done. Yay.

On the way to work I found a little secret pocket on the inside of my parka. Just perfect for my iPod. Sweet.

I bought a pair of jeans tonight for about 75% off. Ace.

Racing the ATM and my personal soundtrack

Remember I wrote a while back about silly little things that I get a kick out of? I thought of another one.

I like to whip my cash card out of the ATM before the machine starts beeping at me so I don't forget it. Every time I do it, I think, "Ha! Beat you!" It still gives you one beep though. It likes to have the last word.

Coincidence...

The other day I was listening to my iPod as I arrived home after work and the song My Happiness by Powderfinger was playing. As I walked in and put my bags down, Bernard Fanning sang, "So you come in and put your bags down".

A gleeful miscellany

My neighbours' cherry tomatoes

Silly little things I like...

* Having exactly the right amount of change in my wallet to pay for something

* Popping press studs

* Re-stapling a document in exactly the same spot as it was originally stapled

* Stamping things at work with my red 'URGENT' stamp (faxes usually, not walls or people)

* When my iPod and mobile phone are both fully charged at the same time

* When I text someone at exactly the same time they text me (this happens freakishly often with one particular friend)

What silly little things do you like?

PS Sorry I have been slow in replying to your comments lately. It doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen!

Random glee

* A tasty dinner ending with yummy lemon tart at a restaurant (called Birdie Num Nums!) with a bunch of new friends.

* Exploring a street I've never been to before and thinking, "Hey, I feel really at home here".

* A man with his face painted like Marcel Marceau...driving a Magna stationwagon (one of the dullest, most conservative family cars there is).

* A beautiful and unusual flower (above). Is it an azalea?

* Half-peeled banana cufflinks. I'd like to meet the guy who'd wear them!

* A drunken sailor - or at least a very disconsolate dude in a sailor suit - sitting on the steps at Windsor train station.

* A pair of dogs standing at the automatic door of a Priceline store looking in after their owner, the golden retriever's nose just poking inside.

* An hour spent nosing about the Chapel Street Bazaar second-hand wonderland. I saw framed prints of 1940s "nudie cuties" nestled up to a picture of Jesus, the ugliest Madonna and baby Jesus ornament in existence (below - that's seashells stuck on a heart with sand glued to it) and a chocolate tin the same as the one my mum used to keep her loose buttons in when I was a kid. It was priced at $58!

* Saying Onitsuka Tigers (the brand of my new sneakers) in my head with a silly Japanese accent.
