This is a vent... I'm angry... at a Christian organisation... who freely advertise "free subscription"... and then in the mail, after having been receivng their devotional for I can't remember how many years... they send ONE devo. Mum and I usually receive one each. It's too hard to share...
I emailed asking for a 2nd copy... they replied saying, "sorry, our records show you haven't given us a donation since 2004, and we've cut back this quarter..."
Bleh... they tell us it's FREE; I DID donate at one point, then forgot to keep up, but they said it was a DONATION so I wasn't so fussed... they are always advertising for a free copy...subscription...
I am discriminated against because I live at the same house as my mum. They would send me a copy if I lived next door!
Bleh... had enough of Christians and wanting money... at least they were honest in their reply... would've been nice to know BEFORE they cut back!
Days like today I really understand how non-Christians feel about churches wanting money all the time...

New Clothes!
Yay! I bought some new clothes today! I didn't just walk into 10 shops and walk out empty-handed... and I didn't come home having only bought a drink! :) Actually, I WOULD HAVE bought a drink, but I had a free voucher! Used up my "20th purchase" which gave me a free drink AND a discount card :) hehe.
So yeah... I bought some fancy black jeans/pants, a red jumper, some butterfly pjs (to go with my new butterfly slippers :p) and a nice girly black skirt and 2 girly purple shirts! All on sale... no... half the stuff was on sale! I've spent enough money this week :) Now have to pay my car insurance by the end of the week and I'll be saving again! :)
Mum said I need new clothes when I told her my plans for today... I'm your typical girl with a wardrobe stuffed with clothes, but I don't really like them anymore... plus I've avoided buying girly things like this because of my job... now I don't want to care so much... just demote my current "normal" clothes to "work" clothes, and prance around like a girl when I'm not working! hehe! That's the rule of my wardrobe ;) Wear. Work. Throw.
Now I need new shoes... with heels :p That will have to wait ;)

Kangaroo & RSPCA
Driving home from work last Thursday (before Good Friday) I merged onto the Hume Freeway, and suddenly the cars in front of me slowed down to a near stop... thanks to a kangaroo there could've been a 5 car pile up! I was far enough away not to be too bothered ;) The stupid thing was it was NOT ON the road!
... the kangaroo was lying on the side of the road, obviously in pain, jerking its arm repeatedly... so I thought since I was within 10mins of home, if I remembered the kangaroo when I arrived, I would call somebody...
Of course I remembered... so I took out the phone book, saw that the RSPCA was the appropriate number to call, and called.
I was put on hold.... the music was dreadful... I figured it was a tactic to make you hang up so they didn't have to deal with you... so I refused to let that get to me... in the end, after nearly 7minutes on hold I hung up. If it was going to be such a torturous experience to talk to somebody, I hoped somebody else dealt with the kangaroo and hung up!
Next time I don't think I'll bother wasting my time!

David's House SOLD!!!
David just rocked up and told me HIS HOUSE SOLD TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is EXCITING!!! He was going to have it auctioned in abt 4 weeks, but wanted to sell before auction... and tonight he was told 4 people were interested...but he thought their offers were a bit low... and later the agent called again and said one person matched his reserve price :) :) :) (after 2 people had a price bid)
God has looked after him so much in this! It has all just fallen into place...amazing! :)
Last week I spent an afternoon cleaning the house while he was at work (he'd done HEAPS before that)... then we readied it for inspection on Saturday... and watched a few people walk in...then BAM! It's SOLD!!!!!
He already moved out a few weeks ago :) Another God-thing ;)
Ok, I'm going to bed now! It's just so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter and Butterflies
I've been mucking around with chocolate moulds... and my favourites are the butterflies... and here I am with 2 Easter egg moulds, and an awesome butterfly ice/chocolate mould that my boyfriend David decided I "needed" when he saw it... and I prefer the butterflies! (It's one of those silicone ones that are like rubber)
Which made me think...what do butterflies have to do with Easter??? And then it hit me! They have more to do with Easter than rabbits! :p New life... as a hen lays an egg, so a caterpillar builds it's coccoon... new life :)
So now I have no problems making Easter butterflies! :)
