little musings...

just a few things that have happened...

1. i PLAYED tennis yesterday!!! OMFG i know i can't believe it too!!..
it was totally impromptu, my buddy class teacher and another teacher planned to play tennis on the school courts (recently upgraded and refurbished). I said i would be interested in playing only if the yr 3 teacher agreed...and she DID !! so we played for an hour after school yesterday. It was so much fun!! i have never had any formal lessons before and the last time i picked up a tennis racket was when i was 10-11 yrs old. I was very shaky at first, tennis balls did go every where but not the right place, i can't serve properly, but hey ... you know what ? i can always learn.

I think we are going to make it a regular thing, which is pretty cool, looks like i'm getting more active!

2. LENT - last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday and i gave up 'mindless' shopping for Lent.
Definition of 'mindless' shopping: no make up, clothes, perfume, bags, or superfluous luxuries.
Instead i will try to donate to charity as much as possible... clothes, money, unused items around the house. Hope i stick to it... it's not going to be easy... need to stay away from EVIL shopping websites...

3. My bro and his wife are planning to move back to PERTH WA!! instead of buying a 1 way ticket to Perth, they are planning to make it an awesome road trip... so they are driving from Sydney, to Melbourne, Adelaide and a few other stops in between... how awesome?! i would be sooo up with that :D.

4. Got invited to a wedding!! :D ...because we have so few close friends... we rarely get invited to weddings in Australia. My husband has lots of friends but they all get married in Jakarta, which is hard for us to attend, unless they are VERY VERY close friends. Even then we rarely make the effort to go. Anyways the wedding is in Yallingup in Jan 2011, plenty of time to organise!! We'll just have to make a holiday out of it :D.
