Happy Sunday - For 'tis the 5 Things Day

If this is the first time you've read it, 5 Things Sunday is a list of 5 things which have made my week awesome!  I find that it's a great way to sum up the week and to look at all the fabulous things which happened, rather than just the really bad things ^^

1. Being known as a regular at my local coffee shop
Every Tuesday, I will (pretty much) always stop at the Gloria Jeans that's near my work for a drink of some form.  It's always the same staff working there (there's only been one exception to that rule, but that's not a part of this story), so they've gotten used to me popping over for my coffee and a chat before I go to work!

This week, was totally awesome.  It being a melt-y hot day, I went with one of my favorite chillers - the Tim Tam chiller (so. very. delicious).  I was the only one there...  so I got offered my choice of toppings - I could have anything I wanted!

...So I went with rainbow sprinkles and caramel sauce.

It was so delicious.

(also, apologies for the dodgy-ness of the photo, my phone camera isn't that great...)

2. World of Warcraft
Her name is Caytie, and she is my second 85 character ever!  She's a Draenai Hunter.



...and I still don't have a name for my cat...

3. Actually Exercising =3
It's the one thing which I've been meaning to do, but I've always had excuses why not to - most involve three letters - cbf.  That, and for the last couple of weeks, omg, it's too hot.  For the last few days, I've actually been going out for walks/ jogs!  I totally want to take my camera for the next time, there's a really photogenic area where I go for walks (can an area really be described as photogenic?  Anyway, it's really pretty), so I figured it could be fun to practice my photography while exercising!

4. Getting a new book!!
Last Saturday, The Sending was launched in Brisbane.  On Monday, despite having pre-ordered it on The Book Depository, I bought the book.

I'M SO EXCITED.  It's such a good book, and totally has made my week amazing.  I know I've recommended this series before, but it's amazing.

The Obernewtyn Chronicles - Isobelle Carmody.  Read them.  Hehe.

5. Spotlight's Bargain Bench
Every time I go to Spotlight (my local craft store, where I get pretty much all my fabric from), I always make a beeline straight for the bargain bench.  It's a giant table with 2 levels, containing a tonne of different fabrics under $5 a metre.  I've gotten some shantung from there before, but my favorite one from my trip this week was totally my pj silk for $3 a metre.  It's white with the cutest bows, and I have a great idea for how to use it.  Well, for pj's, obviously, but that's not my point, hehe.

Until next time,
-C

  1. I loved The Sending, Carmody's last two Obernewtyn books have been AMAZING, actually kinda worth the 9~ year wait! :P

    I saw her speak last week in Geelong, her talk was really good, and very funny.
