Spaghetti Brain

So it's the end of day two of my first weekend of MBA study and while I survived the process, my brain now feels like half chewed up and spat out spaghetti. In other words it's a tangled and unsightly mess. I can't think straight.

My brain has been fully overloaded this weekend and I feel like I could sleep for a week.

Returning to study at a masters level is going to be damn hard work, however several things have become extremely clear to me after only two days;

Just a few travel tips

So in place of watching mind numbing shows like Home and Away on television I can put my fingers on the keyboard and write some meaningful words instead.

This week being back at work has been long and arduous. Sitting inside at a computer all day after two weeks of the great outdoors and walking for miles - well there's no comparison really.

Back to reality

There's no place like home, there's no place like home - yes Dorothy, there's no place quite like home, but going on holiday makes you remember just how much you love home.

That said, I absolutely loved Thailand. We had an awesome holiday in a beautiful country and met some lovely people.

We flew back into Adelaide on Thursday morning and we're all still in recovery mode.

I'm still around

I haven't vanished, I've just changed format for the time being  - we're currently in Phuket, Thailand so I'm posting via Travelpod rather than here for ease of use whilst traveling. If you want to follow our journey then you can go to the link below and you'll find my entries which should be on the right hand side of the page.

Looking at someone's travel pictures takes on a whole new life now with blogs and digital cameras, the only benefit is that this way when you get bored you can leave the page. Either way, I'll be back here when we get back to Australia.

The Universe has spoken...

So following on from my last post, I received this in my inbox this morning from the Universe.

Ever wonder why some of those who achieve incredible success, amass fortunes, and enjoy sizzling relationships seem so unlikely? 

It's because intelligence, looks, even creativity, come in a distant second place to believing. Achievers achieve because they believed they would, and so the heavens and earth were moved. 

Also I didn't get here yesterday to tell you I was sharing some words of wisdom over at World Moms Blog about our children and social media - so why not drop by and say hi.

There's magic in belief

Sometimes unlikely things can kick start things which have been stuck. Two things happened this week which got me refocused. Wednesday I had my monthly meeting for SARA which is the South Australia group of romance writers.

I've been attending meetings since maybe October (with a break over the Christmas period) and the talent and camaraderie in this group can be a little daunting for a new comer who's not to sure of her own writing ability.

Procrastination is a four letter word

I've been super busy today, dinner is simmering in the slow cooker, the washing has been hung out, the bathroom and toilet are sparkling clean.

I've updated middle son's resume, read several blog posts, checked out what everyone is doing on Facebook and I've even taken the time to subscribe to several new blogs.

Actually, I'm just avoiding what makes me feel uncomfortable.

6WS - Annoyed, despite all my best intentions......

I have an ugly white line on the front guard of my new car, that's on the car that has only done 6500 kilometres. Some pea brain bloody idiot doesn't know how to judge the width of their own car when parking next to me....argh.

Despite me having that new car paranoia which makes me park in far distant corners of car parks and makes me avoid squeezy little car parks. Despite always parking to the far side of a car park if no one can park on the other side, just so that I can keep moronic idiotic pea brains from scratching my new car.
