That’s right. . . . . as of next week I’ll be changing jobs, physical location and even my gym. Then on top of that I’ll also be starting my external studies for further career advancement, all in conjunction with competition preparation. As you could imagine time management has never been so important as it is now. 
)
So in saying all of that, wef immediately I’m slowing things down to a much more manageable pace. We all know and accept that some times in life we all have to be selfish and now’s that time for me. I’ll still be blogging time permitting of course as well as reading everyone else’s. Unfortunately leaving personal comments will have to wait until weekends. I really do hope that you will all understand and respect my decision as it certainly doesn’t come lightly. I simply wanted to be honest and let everyone know what I was doing as a common courtesy. )
From the monthly archives:
June 2006
We’ve just finished watching Jay Cutler: Ripped To Shreds dvd about his competition preparation for the Arnold Classic. This guy is one serious athlete who really does whatever it takes! I picked up a few things watching this, things that I could possibly implement into my own dieting and training. Think outside the square I say. ;o)
I’ve been pretty slack of late with my time management and haven’t been around to visit everyone’s blogs. But I have today and left comments on every single one of them I might add. So appologies again for my tardiness and hope that you will all forgive me. I promise to be a good girl from now on. *cheeky grin* LOL!! ;o)
Drumroll Please . . . . . . . . . . ladies and gentlemen boys and girls, it is with great pleasure that I announce the creation of a brand new website for my very dear friend Tim Martin called Tim Martin Online.
It’s only just gone live this weekend and I know he’d love to hear your thoughts and views on it. Please leave a comment and I’ll be sure to pass it onto him. Or you just never know he might even reply to them himself. ;o)
Well here it is! I took this photo of my cup of Hot Chocolate yesterday morning for you just after it was bought out to me. Koko Black’s Chocolate Lounge has the perfect setting located upstairs in their city salon. There just aren’t words to describe how decedent it was. I’ve never in my life tasted anything quite like it. )
Philippa who accompanied me was an absolute pleasure to meet. I’ll be forever in her debt for introducing me to Koko Black. LOL!! ;o) She is quite an incredible woman with many hidden talents. Her passion for writing which is quite evident in her blog entries are always a joy to read for me. I always feel encaptured like when you’re reading a story, as if I’m right there living her life with her. Philippa obviously knows how to write and she does it really well I might add too. Her writing is honest and from the heart, that’s what I love most about it. )
Once we’d gone our separate days I made the most of this opportunity and ran some other erands whilst I was in the city, waste not want not. Lucky me, I stumbled by chance across this great little store of fashion accessories. It was all the sparkly jewellery in the store window that caught my eye, I was like a fly to fly paper. I couldn’t help myself, I just had to go in and look. LOL!! Thankfully I did because I found the most perfect jewellery to wear for this years competitions. The ladies that worked there were just lovely, when I was looking at some of their pieces they asked was it for a special occasion and in all honesty I didn’t quite know how to answer that question. I knew exactly what they were asking me but didn’t know whether they were prepared for my answer. LOL!! Yep they were a little surprised at first but only to happy to accommodate my questions. Even better, they can custom make pieces just to suit which is what I’ll be doing so that I get exactly what I want. I left with a business card and will be going back there in the near future. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. )
From there I headed over to Michaels Camera where I bought my digital camera. I’m still working out lighting issues I’m having for my posing photos, it was time to call in the experts. One of the staff there has been so helpful to me, it’s great to see that customer service still exists in this day and age. )
So I’ve ended up spending all of today taking multiple test shots and experimenting with the lighting options on my digital camera. Thankfully Daniel kindly allowed me to use him as my guinea pig throughout this entire process. After a great deal of trial and tribulation we eventually came up with the goods. *ding ding* Round one to us! Here’s hoping that the next time this happens which is next week that it won’t be as challenging. Well here’s hoping anyway. LOL!! ;o)
Well time’s getting away from me so I must dash. Have a lovely evening and an even better week everyone. Bye bye for now. )
