Famous Last Words

And I quote…
Or maybe they’ll just leave it all for me until I get back in a week.  Hell, I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than come back to double the workload and double the fun.
Golly, I must be psychic!  Now if only I could predict next weeks lotto numbers.
And just when I [...]

Merry Christmas from Joders and Tia

  
So.  Here it is.  Christmas Eve.  Again.  I’ve baked my Christmas Cake and I’m watching Carols by Candlelight and wrapping the presents (while I’m not typing this post).
It’s been a little over a year since I happened across KateBlogsworth and made my very first comment.  Much has happened over the last 12 months.  Some good, [...]

Photos from the Hen’s Party

I managed to borrow some photos of my friends and I at Tess’ Hen’s party from someone’s facebook account.
Phacebook does come in handy for some things.  Other than that, I still really don’t get the excitement.
Okey dokey, back to the photos….

Border Security Canadian Style

Being that I’m an international traveller extraordinaire (ha, hahaha, hahahhahaa), I’ve been through immigration a few times. 
I’ve answered the obligatory “and how long do you plan on staying, ma’am?” and “what is the purpose of your visit, ma’am?”, I’ve waited while the immigration dude checked my credentials incase I’m wanted in multiple countries and I’ve [...]

Knowing Me, Knowing You (Part III)

Ok, this is the last one.  I promise!  I told you I was bored!
1  Any nickname?  Most derivates of Jodie and Euro ( a long and very boring story)
2.  Favorite drink?  Chai latte and ice water on a hot day
3.  Mother’s name?  Mum
4.  Tattoo?  I already told you this.  I have an ex boyfriend’s name on [...]

Gone on a blind date  Yep
Skipped school  Yep
Watched someone die  Sort of
Been to Europe  No – was planning on a grand Euro vacation in 2010.
Been to USA  Yep
Been on a plane  No, [...]

I’m so pleased that the world’s safety is in such good hands

So this is what you guys (Daners, Ali-ers, Mr Ali-ers, Glamma_puss and Mr Glamma_puss) actually got up to when you were protecting the great nations of the world?  I feel so much safer now!

I think we need a laugh

I get the feeling that we’ve all been in the doldrums lately for one reason or another.  So I thought we could all do with a bit of a laugh.  When I got this email last week I hoped I’d be able to work it into my repertoire.
So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, put [...]

The Ex Bride

Since I finished writing Operation Abduct Orly I’ve been feeling strangely empty, at a loose end.
Yesterday I went to the wedding of my close friend Coreena.  She finally got to marry her Canadian import fiance, James.  It was just beautiful and made me feel all warm and fuzzy – not an easy feat let me [...]

Photography 101

In 1988 when I was doing my HSC (Higher School Certificate – equivalent to senior year in the US) a new art teacher started at my school.  His name was Mr Krausen.  He was tall, blonde, blue eyed, German, attractive and drove a Volvo.  Very Aryan, except I don’t think many Aryans drove Volvos in the [...]
