More of the List

I marked off a few other things from my list over the week. I have become an organ donor, I haven't eaten Hungry Jacks for two weeks, have worn a pair of earrings for one whole week and I have found the perfect engagement ring, now to wait for Garth to pay it off and to finally propose properly. Yay. I started on one of my other list items and that is Read Great Expectations, Mein Kampf and War and Peace. Garth bought me War and Peace yesterday so that item is being marked as in progress.

Yesterday I wore my hair down all day and so far I have kept it down all day today. Hopefully I will manage to wear it down for a whole week.

I looked into giving blood and unfortunately I will have to change that item on my list, as the Australians do not want my blood. Why not? Because I lived in the UK for more than six months between 1980 and 1996. The Australians don't have the tests to be able to screen for Mad Cow disease so instead they just say they can't take British blood from people who lived there between those years. My problem now is finding something to replace that list item with.

I start with the Herald on Monday and am bricking it to be honest. I am sure I will do great but still nervous as hell, am finally using my degree which lets face it, is a pretty big deal.  I really hope it ends up a permanent thing, that would be awesome. At least if Garth and I decide to road trip, in fact not if, when we decide to road trip, I can take my writing with me, hell I can take my bar tending skills with me. Can't wait until I can drive and can afford to buy my VW Kombi.

I am pretty hungry, perhaps I should stop procrastinating and actually make lunch and keep reading War and Peace, seeing as it is a huge book. Anyway, watch this space, or more to the point cook creative craziness space, for a review of the book :)
