A Salad Kinda Life

A salad's pretty boring. A cold dish. Then again, it's a varied dish - vegetables tossed with other assorted ingredients. Served with dressing, even! So i guess you could say it's quite...fanciful.

I'd like to call upon this moment of my life as being a bit of a salad. I can't decide which side of the bowl i want to eat from.

On one hand, i'm so totally over Brisbane. I spent all weekend at home, short of doing some grocery shopping. It's my alternate weekly turn to cook for Mars this Tuesday, and he requests Malaysian food! In a city of chips, burgers and chips, it's virtually impossible to find anchovies, banana leaf and pickles for a nasi lemak. Oh well, he's Greek - what'll he know!? I'll be none the wiser when i ask for Grecian food next week!

Spent the rest of the weekend painting. My 2nd canvas is done - still amateur-ish, but I like it.

There's nothing else here. I'm bored and uninspired. I'm a cold salad.

*flip the bowl round to the other side*

Zoom out, and suddenly I can't keep up!

Two weekends ago, Gav visited, and turned Brisbane into a state-sized theme park! Queensland was marvellous, for the first time! Life was a holiday, everything was made of chocolate, chips were not fattening.

Last week, I was back in Melbourne for the weekend, courtesy of the company, and pretty much jumped from a plane into a club. Partied. Woke up the next day for a wedding ceremony and gorgeous reception, danced by candlelight and music, and fell in love all over again. Then it was back to Brisbane, grumpy.

In twelve days' time, I officially pick up the keys to my new apartment in Melbourne, and at every thought of this fact I'm spilling over with inexplicable excitement!

In less than four weeks after that, I'll be saying 'shove it all!', and flying off to Malaysia, Hong Kong and Cambodia for 40 days!

But meanwhile, I'm just a salad. I can see both sides, but just can't decide which side of the bowl i want to eat from. Bah humbug.
