Work has been very stressful over the past couple of weeks and at times I have felt as though my head was ready to explode! For those who may not know, Im acting General Manager for a couple of months, so am carrying the additional level of responsibility on top of some of my previous tasks. To make matters more complicated and frustrating, one of the women I manage decided to put in a stress claim under workers compensation claiming bullying by peers (which I am challenging cause I believe she is just unwilling to accept the negative feedback I had to give her about her work). Damn.... sometimes I just dream of giving it all away to live a life as an artist.... or travel writer.... or photographer.... or toilet cleaner.... lolSaturday, May 30, 2009

Star Trek
Im no Trekki, but went along with husband to see the new Star Trek movie and loved it! I do sometimes have a thing for futuristic movies, cause part of me has this fascination with possibilities of technological advances that will alter how we do things in the future. Anyway... even if youre not into the series, this movie was enjoyable.Saturday, May 9, 2009
The cat
And while I was laying on the grass taking photos of the plant, my cat snuggled next to me. Purrrrrr
Beautiful Weed
I was hanging out the washing (as you do) when I was distracted by my garden. Then grabbed my camera, lay on the grass and took these photos. It never ceases to amaze me how ordinary things can look so spectacular up close.

Silly Questions and Answers...
Do you have any relatives in jail? None that have admitted to it.

At the beach would you rather play in the sand, or play in the water? The water.... Im not a baby. lol

Serious questions...
Do you have any regrets in life? Noone lives a perfect life, but regrets bind you to the past, so I try and live without regrets.
What do you think about capital punishment? Im not in favour of Capital Punishment, however I believe there still needs to be severe consequences for actions as a preventative measure.
Is revenge sometimes justified? I can certainly understand why people would want to seek revenge, however it's not something I've ever sought.
Which is a stronger emotion: anger or love? Anger is a powerful emotion, however true love should be all encompassing and completely overwhelming.
Why does religion cause so much war? I believe in a God of abundant love, but man-made religion is often focused on man-made agendas and self-fulfillment. If Christians followed the number one commandment, to"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind... and love your neighbour as yourself"... then the world would be a better place...
Why is your definition of true happiness different from anyone else's definition of true happiness? Not sure that it is different. True happiness in part is about contentment, but I would say I know I am truly happy if I wake up and go to bed smiling :)
If you had to move to a country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move? Italy or Canada :)
Would you give your life to save someone else's? Yes. I dont fear death or the afterlife.
What is your happiest memory. I have some wonderful memories of playing house with my sister and friends as a young child in the school holidays. I also think we used to pretend we were the village people! lol
If you were president, what would you do. Perhaps Im an idealist, but my approach would be one of reconciliation. There are too many men in politics hell bent on asserting their power and influence in an attempt for world domination.

Movies
Have listed a number of movies I like below. Of course there are many more, but these came to mind when having to search from a list. You may notice themes... I like comedy, and often romantic comedies. I dont mind some sci fi cause I like imagining futuristic stuff and I also like some action movies. I seem to have a thing for Batman lol and also some Arnie movies, but upon reflection I dont tend to watch many dramatic movies, probably cause my work is often stressful and movies are escapism and to relax. Given that most people who read this blog are guys, am sure my list would not match too many other peoples... lol... But thats me :)
