Things That Are Awesome

If you are a Pride and Prejudice fan and haven't already seen the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, do yourself a favour and go get hooked. Seriously these video diaries will have you wanting more but persevere through the first couple - it takes a couple of episodes to appreciate them fully.

I'm totally loving Rachael Hale right now - I mean cute kitties and puppies what isn't to love! I have one of the puppy mugs that I use at work and I love my mug.

David and I loved reading this hilarious Contract for Potential Future Wives. No resemblance to any current real-life situation is implied or inferred (for the record, my future Mother-In-Law is totally awesome - as I tell David frequently).

Last time I was sick, David introduced me to this Sick Day comic. It's was a totally accurate account of my days off.

On My Wants List...

A dolphin experience at Coffs Harbour. Swimming with dolphins is on my to-do-list.

This birdhouse from storybookdesign.

Scratch Map - scratch off countries as you visit. Potentially very rewarding (and expensive).

This garlic zoom, sure beats the ordinary garlic crusher.

Latest Wants

It's been predicted for a long time, but the first flying car will be on display at the New York Auto Show. At $300,000 it doesn't come cheap but I want a flying car anyway. Since I don't have that much spare cash lying around I guess I'll have to be content with waiting for it to become mainstream. I hope the new models become automatic and drive for you. I might as well dream big :) Read the article here

I really want to Trench Coat. I'm going to use the excuse that I live in a cold climate and I'll be traveling to Scotland later in the year, which I hear can be chilly even in September.  We'll just ignore the fact that I already own enough coats. Problem: I can't find one that has lining inside and I can't wear a coat without lining. I'll be found on the Canberra streets completely preserved in ice.

This house is awesome and just tantalizingly in reach although more than we would like to spend. It's got 4 bedrooms, a living room and a separate family room, a loft and a sunroom plus a rumpus room. Additionally there is room for 3 cars and according to the pictures a backyard. It's nice to know houses like this exist.

I really like this dress, and think it could make a nice addition to my work clothes.

Red Poppy Shoe Clips - These are so versatile. I love that I can make my ordinary shoes look more interesting.
