Post under duress (or at least to keep a promise!)


Are you there friends, it's me, Tammymara.

How are you dear people, if you're still out there? oh dear oh dear it has been rather a long while hasn't it? My apologies... You see, I've been busy - lots happening, new things, new people, new love, you understand. Apparently I've been acting differently, I look different, and am just generally different. It's been commented upon by people many and varied, both close to me and not. So... they can't all be wrong. The funny thing is though, I don't feel different, I feel like me. Perhaps I feel like a brighter version of me... as though I've gone from being painted in pastels to something more vibrant... but the colours remain similar enough that it still looks like me.

I'm rambling, but it's a good excuse for a post. My dear brother pointed out to me yesterday how long it's been since I've written anything, and of course he's right. May I point out though, that this post is merely a result of my promise to him that I would try and get something in this week, and I take pride in being a woman of my word.

So I thought I'd do a mish mash. Some things that I've been reading, some gossip (we all know how i love gossip) and general interesting bits and pieces. Perhaps even some photos. How would you like some photos? Lets see how we go then shall we?

  • First of all - Kevin Rudd, you went to a strip club. Seriously, if that's the worst they can come up with, you're looking pretty good for this prime-minister bizzo.
  • I bought a new bed. It has an ipod dock and Bose speakers and quite possibly the comfiest mattress in the history of the world. It's also very pretty. I'm very excited at the prospect of possibly moving my office to my bed so that i never have to get out of it again.
  • I think the ski season is not far from over, unless we get a fairly serious dump of snow. Please people, do a snow dance, because for a season that has been so, so good, it would be a shame to let a little bit of rain and warm weather end it early.
  • -Is marriage dead? I hope not. Although I have to say I think it must scare people... I recently had a friend who was broke up with a girl after just a few days, once he realised she wanted to get married at 25 and have 5 kids (Me... I just want two!). The thing I don't understand is people with checklists: married at age x to someone who does x living in house in suburb x, x number of kids by age x. How on earth can you possibly know until you meet that person? And who knows when or where you're going to stumble across them? Wait until you find someone you want to marry, and decide then... (that said... I don't want to be 35 and single... but hopefully i won't have to cross that bridge!).
  • "Dwarf's penis stuck in vacuum cleaner." Now there is a headline I never thought I'd see!
  • I bought very, very cheap petrol this morning. I did a little dance. I'm sure the price will have jumped by 15c a litre tonight.
  • Facebook. Need I say more? ok yes, I need. Facebook is apparently costing Australia 5billion dollars in productivity. However, since it doesn't cost me a thing, I'm happy to keep on with my very healthy and time-consuming obsession. Any complaints from my boss will be dutifully stored in the big filing cabinet in the sky (which is accessed via my bin).
  • Kelly Clarkson did a song called GO last year (or possibly earlier this year) which was never released but used in a Ford car commercial in America. Somewhere i heard a clip of the song, and I love it, but now I can't find it to download anywhere. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
  • If you haven't seen the movie Hot Fuzz, do yourself a favour. Seriously... just do it. Even with the mother of all hangovers, I laughed like crazy, and still burst into hysterics when certain parts are repeated to me!
OK, that's it from me. Does one mammoth post make up for nothing for weeks? I hope so people. And now I shall leave you with some photos from a recent birthday partay for me and my bro (which I thoroughly enjoyed, as is probably quite plainly obvious!).
Please note that I AM wearing bathers in the spa (at least at this stage)... no matter how much this photo may look like i am not!
