What I did:
- I have put together a new Photo Portfolio: http://emilyswanderlust.blogspot.com.au/ (Had you seen my Mermaid Parade, Coney Island NY photos? )
- I had a melt-down about missing the Prince after party at the Hi-Fi Bar
- I bought lots of cheap fruit & veges at the Rocklea markets - 3 pineapples for $3!! and 3 500g punnets of strawberries for $10 *Thrusts*
- I went for a thigh burning bike ride and ate nuts & fruit on a picnic rug with a couple of lovely people
- I went for a walk and wrestled with my doggy friend Pommy the Pomeranian This guy!
- I made chocolate fondant puddings and suffered a chocolate overdose. They were SO RICH!
- I had a rest and got my head back in order after the chocolate/sugar overdose.
- My lovely man bought a juicer and has been making juice all week! Today I made my first juice: Apple, Pear, Carrot, Celery and strawberry juice. It was extreme delicious.
- A little sneak of something I've been working on...
What I saw:
Lusting over the New Penzance series with the actors from Moonrise Kingdom - I'm trying not to build up my expectations too much (although there isn't a Wes Anderson film that I don't love).
The making of the Moonrise Kingdom trailer that I've watched so much!
Am almost considering going to the Sydney Film Fest to see it a few months earlier

Read the very naughty muscle McQuack comic - don't read if easily offended / don't hold me responsible if you are! You've been warned!

What I learnt:
(wearing my emotional hat, over my happy hat, over my zombie hat, over my judgemental hat, over my angry bitter hat, being supported by my worried head. )
This weekend my head has been all over the place! I have been so wound up about all of the things I need to do, that instead of doing them one by one I have been thinking of them all at once.
I literally feel like my life is a hamster wheel that wont slow down, going from work to weekend on a fast spinning cycle. SO - I have decided I need to take some more time out to slow down and let my brain rest and unwind! Even if it's just 15 minutes a day. Today I took a little time out and felt so much better.
