These are the DVD/Videos I've been watching the past couple of weeks. Tonight I'm going to give The Notebook another squizz. Denk made me feel like a "cardboard box" for falling asleep and not crying when we saw it at the "theatre" in New Jersey so I guess I should give it a chance huh?

I haven't really been blogging because bijooh's been down, so I'm temporarily back at blogspot 'till we're back up and running.

TUESDAY
It was a beautiful day on Tuesday. The sun was out, there was a light breeze and I... was stuck at home. I decided in an instant that I was going to go to the beach that day, whether I was going on my own or not. Manio pointed out that I've been wanting to go all "leave" (that's what I'm calling my pre-work holiday) but I'd never gone. I'd been waiting for someone, ANYONE, to go with me but Tuesday was the day I wasn't waiting around... so I went on my own. It was nice... quality time with me. As I lay on the beach hoping to go a shade darker, I could feel the breeze on my skin, the little particles of sand slowly burying me, and the heat of the summer all around me. It was wonderful. I dipped in every now and then to wash the sand that had breezed over my skin and I alternated between reading about "The Rules", Emotional IQ and sleeping. Maroubra Beach is beautiful on a quiet weeekday. I wish I did it more often!

WEDNESDAY
... was a bit of a nothing day, I think. I went to Ash Wednesday mass in the morning and decided I was giving up my late nights (past midnight, if not, 12.30am [unless I'm going out]), coffee, rice for dinner (and all day Fridays, along with meat), fast food; and decided to try to go to mass daily, say the Rosary at least twice daily and go to adoration weekly.

... oh yeh, I also went to Parramatta to pick the car up from service. That's all.

THURSDAY
I had a good morning-afternoon. I watched Primal Fear once I got up. The Foxtel Digital guys came buy to make sure I never know the channel numbers of any channel on cable (it's so complicated!) and I picked Veed up from the doctor after she decided she was too dizzy to go to work.

THEN, I picked up Geno and went with Veed to meet Kim and Kris at St. Patrick's Parramatta for mass. I loved that we were all together. After mass, we went to OLMC to say hi to Katie then proceeded to have a late lunch at Westfield. Cousin time is so enjoyable... even if I am the oldest, these were the kids I grew up with. I love 'em lots!

I went by Fairfield to buy tickets for *cough*Gas*cough* tomorrow night before settling back at home. I'm thinking of going to Kim's house now to keep bonding.

Tomorrow should be fun.

I've been watching a lot of Sex and the City as of late. It's only on every second show in the afternoon on W. The other day I watched an episode when Miranda said something I related to:

I've spent my life deciphering the mixed messages

Reminded me of how I over-think (thanks M&M)... how much I read into everything everyone says as if there's some sort of hidden meaning beneath layers and layers of analogies and vagueness. I reckon I do it because I hide everything I feel and mean beneath layers such as these and I expect that others do too. Apparently, this is rarely the case... and sometimes, it's easier and safer to just take things as face value.

Today's episode showed the different outcomes of distance. Eh.

Ok done. I needed that. Bye!
