i am pretty good to you. i've written to you five hundred times. exactly. to celebrate i'm writing a list of five hundred reasons why i'm awesome.

kidding.

but if you want to, who am i to stop you from writing comments to that effect?

my most used label is about being an aunt and to celebrate i gift you a moment of adorable.




you're welcome.

first up someone needs to step the frick off. click here to be shocked at how someone has taken my name. i watched some videos of her 'comedy'. and yeah, i'm funnier.

second, i went to a party on saturday where i promised to pimp out my readers to a newish blog. there were cupcakes involved so i hadn't power to say no. not that i would have declined anyway cos the blog is awesome. basically it is a girlish site, that tests products, tells you where the freebies are likely to be and links pictures of magnum pi birthday cakes. the first five people to go there from this site AND LEAVE A COMMENT on both homeperm and prettyprettyprettydotcom gets a prize from me. the prize may not be terribly exciting. but then again, it could be a million dollars*. and a prize is a prize. the link is here.

actually, do five people read this blog? i know i check it nearly five times a day, but that is only one reader. and if i'm the only contributor that probably doesn't count. right?

anyway, back to the prettyprettypretty party - i got to wear my pyjamas and sing spandau ballet's true on singstar. it could have been the signature cocktails, or maybe the whisky, but i was good. in fact, to quote spandau themselves, i was GOLD. i knew memorising the words fanatically would pay off. and frankly, for me it was the jackpot. sadly, i hadn't put the same leg work into funky cold medina. and it showed.

but back to jackpots... world is in sale mode. and, to celebrate, i broke my vow to go three months without buying new clothes. but they really do have the best sales. 50% off. so the bigger crime would have been keeping to my challenge and not buying anything. and apparently they have a $50 sales rack now. so bargain city basically. the world sale is my favourite fashion event of the year and inspires a sort of breathlessness. like i might actually resort to violence if i see someone take the last of something in my size. i'm like the blue rinse set at the kirks sale.

oh yeah, and while i'm linking all over the show. go here. this american dude has started blogging again. and i'm overjoyed.

anyway, i should stop writing. it is late and i have gossip girl to watch. and season 4 of 90210. it is all coming up homeperm (and by that i don't mean andi smith, wisconsin comic).

*obviously, it is not a million dollars

i have broken some kind of world record because i have stuck with my new year's reso for five full days. i'm so much more organised. and i am reaping the benefits too. i've only lost my cellphone once today and sure i left my wallet at home when i went grocery shopping but at least i knew exactly where it was. in the draw. where it sleeps at night.

oh and i lost my keys but again only once. usually on a saturday i can lose them up to five times. so success.

apart from just enjoying my more organised life i've also been busy doing other stuff. like reading the hollow men. which was a christmas present. which i'm totally enjoying. and playing a variety of board games including the 90210 board game!!!! . the article i just linked to gave the game one star out of ten. and that is generous. if only we had the 90210 twister, which is discussed in this article as part of a tribute to terrible games. (and i know lots of links are terrible for readers but seriously, the second article in particular is hilarious).

i also attempted my first swim in wellington's ocean today and it lasted all of about thirty seconds. and i had cups of tea and played more board games - this time my new favourite board game (apart from 90210 twister) puerto rico. and i heard some exciting news but that is for others to tell you about.

and 2008 continues to show promise, not just in my whole being organised kick. but i have to confide in you that there are the odds signs of it not all being roses. for example i'm permanently in a bad mood. well not permanently, but more regularly that i'd like. plus hello there is disappointment because i'm watching the US version of the office (season two) and it is barely making me smile. but that could be the mood again.

speaking of moods, tomorrow i will be in the best of moods cos i'm hosting a party. well sort of. brunch. and the new blogger will be there. i only just read it half an hour ago and already i'm in love with it. you should read it too.
