Where has the time gone??

I can't believe it's halfway through October already!!! Before you know it Christmas will be here and I'll be home with my beautiful family... 
So what has been happening??? 
We'll start from the beginning of the month as so much has been happening from the post before last you'll fall asleep from boredom before you get to the present lol...
So the beginning of  October saw me trekking into Spring Hill with my good friend Shiela to see some of the personal trainers from her studio at a bodybuilding extravaganza.... I was a little nervous about going, despite appearances I actually dont feel comfortable with big groups of people I dont know (you can pick your jaw up off the floor it's true). But it was for an awesome cause and from the few times I had briefly met the guys they seemed really nice... 
I'm glad I went. I met some really amazing people and they had an auction (with all funds going to Live Forever)...  Now anyone who truly knows me knows I just cant resist buying what I want and when it comes to auctions noone beats me so it's not surprising that 5 massages, 6 personal training sessions (I had to get it it was a sign as I was thinking of going back to the dickhead at the gym) and 4 bottles of wine came home with me lol... 
So as of last week my journey to getting back to my pre-wedding weight and better then my pre-injury strength has begun. I am trying to quit cigarettes (again) too. Turns out they arent helpful with weight loss after all (plus there's the cancer factor). I have an awesome personal trainer. He's great at his job and is a real inspiration. I look forward to my sessions with him even though I usually wind up telling him how mean he is.. Seriously after a session I'm usually in some sort of pain (although it's the good kind nothing bad).. Just wish we could do some boxing!!!
I've also been catching up with friends from both parts of my life... Weekend before the one just gone I caught up with my 2ic from my KMart days and another one of the guys from KMart... It had been three years since I saw them last but despite the time passed it was just like old times... To think that for a VERY brief moment I actually missed KMart... Hmmm maybe not the job just the people..
Before I forget I think I may have neglected to post about my Mother in law's 60th surprise party.... It was a blast!! Sez did such an amazing job I may have to hire her to help with my '25th' birthday next year :) 
It's amazing how much can change when you're away for so long.... R was nearly as  tall as me and no longer finds it as cool to hang with his big sister... *sigh*  Poor guy doesnt realise he's always going to be my baby bro in my eyes... I can see why parents get sad when their children grow so fast.... Gone are the days when you are everything and welcome to the days whee you are uncool and embarrassing... 
I also got to enjoy being home with my Mum and Dad.. Even though it was only one night it was great to be around my parents... Everyday I am eternally grateful to be blessed with them. 
I'm hoping to get another trip home soon to see the rest of my family and spend some time with them. I have a new baby cousin to meet and another one on the way which is rather exciting. I also waant to see my bother J... Even though we arent close and he doesnt think before he says things I'm incredibly proud of him and love him dearly. I also kind of miss him too... 
So what else has been happening?? Work is the same... Never a dull day I have to say LOL. My neck has been really good no realpain since the pain management clinic....
I have started saving for my overseas adventures next year...Watch out New York here I come!!!Oh yes, I have started driving more. The plan is to have my P's before Christmas so watch out Brisbane!! LOL.. Spring is definately here although some days you'd never guess... I'm so happy for the warmer weather and the beautiful sunshine. I am also going to buy a golf club this weekend and workon my swing as cane toad season has started... I chased a few around my front yard last night with the salt... Didnt stop the buggers though and now my neighbours who thought I'm nuts now actually know it lol.
Well best be off it's late and I'm rather tired. Got to get to sleep while I can... I'll try to be a better blogger and update more often....
