Day-Ruining Notepads

Something to make my husband laugh today - and I'm sure there are a lot of readers who would like one of these too - Day-Ruining Notepads.

Typographer and illustrator, Jessica Hische, has developed her own 'Business Solutions for Incredibly Annoying Clients' in the form of a notepad of invoices which require annoying clients to remit payment for things like comfort pizza, ibuprofen or 30 minutes of necessary therapeutic phone ranting to a friend. Basically, all the things you wish you could say and do to your client, but can't. Love it.

Favourite Image of the Week

My favourite image of the week comes from the latest issue of Australian online magazine, Sesame. This amazing photo was taken by Thuy Vy and features The Australian Ballet's beautiful Juliet Bennett. Doesn't it make you wish you didn't give up those ballet lessons when you were a kid?

I'm on a horse

Ok, this is not the thing I usually post about but it made me laugh so I'm sharing.

Today I'm loving...

Today I'm loving... these cloth-bound classic books at Anthropologie. So pretty.

Fabo Booko

I just found a fabulous Australian website - Booko! Booko allows you to search for a book and returns a comparison of the shops selling that book including prices and postage. It even converts international sites like Amazon to Australian dollars. I was seriously excited when I found this site. What a time saver! Instead of googling every bookstore on the web for the cheapest price I can get it a the click of a button. There's even a cool little feature that will automatically put your chosen books into the shop's cart. No more searching endlessly for the Twighlight Saga Boxed Set, just look here. The internet how it's supposed to be -  I love it! 

Australia - the movie

I saw Australia (the movie) today. It is without a doubt one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. Even though I was looking forward to seeing it, it was still much more that I expected it to be. And that Hugh Jackman, he can drove my cattle anytime. :)

Feeling Lucky today

I know its Monday and mostly people are a bit grumpy at the start of the working week. But listen to this beautiful song, Lucky by Jason Mraz featuring one of our favourite singers, Colbie Caillat, and there is no way you can feel anything but happy ... and lucky.

Tired

My daughter is adjusting to sleeping in her new 'big' bed. And so today, with only a couple hours of broken sleep and an endless supply of coffee, I am attempting to function like a normal human being. Here is my anthem for today:

Tired by the amazing Adele.
