10 days...

Well its been 10 days since I felt like writing something, I have been really unmotivated or lazy I don't know actually but thought I'd better write something before I forget.

Nothing really exiting has happened, which is probably why I haven't had the need to blog! Still working, still not seeing much of my hubby due to different hours... It gets harder and harder as the weeks go on - I think I mention this in each blog, but I really can't wait till we go traveling!! Falling asleep next to him the same time, having dinner together, no need to talk but his presents would be nice! At the moment it feels like we are to boats passing at sea (think that is a saying).  *sigh* a few more months - then I might be writing about how sick I am of him always being around.

Last sunday we went to the Art Gallery of Western Australia - to see the Picasso to Warhol expedition. How interesting - Saw real Picasso paintings and Any Warhol prints. Amazing to see how art changed over the years but yet stayed the same in some way. Very interesting I recommend you go! While you walk around and look at the paintings you can listen to a pod cast that tells you about the painters though process, whats it about etc.

While at the Gallery I realised that I have a husband that likes art and music and finds them just as interesting if not more than me - unlike my father, Gosh my poor mother is stuck with sports and crappy comedy movies.

Sundays seem to be the days my hubby and I catch up and 'normal' things'. We spend the day in the city last week and the week before that ended up in Fremantle with the winter festival - which wasn't much of a festival but more of a little get together. Little disappointing, but then again what do we expect its Perth.

I'm currently reading this amazing book called Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. I haven't finished it about 1/3 through it and so far I cannot put it down, I can't wait to get home and read it.

As much as I find the book touching and interesting, I find its a hard book to read/follow. The story is told but a nine-year-old boy who has lost his father in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Now as some might understand a little boy's mind and world is so busy - and as Oskar Schell's states in his business cards. He is almost everything.

As you can tell its an interesting character to tell a story, always drifting off from what is actually going on. Reminds me so much of my husband. He would tell me a story and completely drift of from the story into something ells and expects me to keep up - After 5 years together I must say I am able to know head from toes.

With the book I have found some of the things Oskar say really makes you think/look at the world differently.
Thought I'd share some of his Quotes (thought).


“Just because you’re an atheist, that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t love for things to have reasons for why they are.” [13
“The meaning of my thoughts started to float away from me, like leaves that fall from a tree into a river,  I was the tree, the world was the river.” [16]
“We laughed and laughed, together and separately, out loud and silently, we were determined to ignore whatever needed to be ignored, to build a new world from nothing if nothing in our world could be salvaged, it was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn’t think about my life at all.” [28] 
“Our laughter kept the feathers in the air.   I thought about birds.    Could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?” [78] 
“I have no need for the past, I thought, like a child.  I did not consider that the past might have a need for me.”  [78]
“I did not need to know if he could love me.  I needed to know if he could need me.” [84]
“I shook my tambourine the whole time, because it helped me remember that even though I was going through different neighborhoods, I was still me.” [88]
“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips.  So in 
a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.” [99]
