Hey guys,
Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in a while, I haven’t really had anything all that exiting to write about. So I offer you some of my random thoughts...
... Well for starters I'm sick I woke up with this terrible head could and its put a damper on my already tragically bad week. (and Jewels, if you comment on my bad spelling you’ll just make me sadder).
2. Our office is now officially liveable but I can't use my computer because someone else is on it. Grrr
3. I had a sausage roll today without sauce; I think I prefer them with sauce. Tomato.
4. I have work tonight 'after school ours care' and one of the kids threw-up yesterday. I'm hoping that it won’t be as hard work tonight.
5. My cousins 30th birthday party is tomorrow night and so is my friends 18th and the church bonfire. And I'm sad I have to choose between them.
6. Coles Coca-puffs are better than Coco-pops.
7. My best friend came back from a holiday in England the other day. She was gone for 5 weeks.
8. My Nana got a new house and now she’s moving- again.
9. Don't think I’m going to youth group tonight, I'm stuffed and I don't think I can handle 50 screaming teens.
10. I'm probably boring you by writing these meaningless thoughts but hey you can stop reading any time you want.
11. The eye Dr. (can't spell optomitrest, or can I? No.) told me I have to were my glasses all the time and they're driving me crazy.
12. I saw the CCS primary school play Dayuma's Jungle last night it was very good. And the Rouse kids #1 and #2 did a great job.
13. Eating Pringles right now. Once you pop...
14. Had ACM (Adelaide College of Ministries) this week and I'm totally scared that I have assignments due in just over a month.
15. Just want a BIG hug from a good friend.
Well congratulations if you made it to the end. And I’ll try to post something more interesting next time.

green paint
Green paint...
...now something you should know about me is that I love the colour green and I like to paint.
Our Intern/OSHC office, was called the ark, it had flooded a few times, but was still standing that was of course until this year.
At the beginning of the year we painted, carpeted, furnished and decorated our new office, only to see it leak, then flood just a few short months later, but this time it didn't recover. It sank to put it more bluntly. So we moved furniture back out, boxed up books etc. and riped up the soaked carpet that we laid ourselves all that hard work gone :(
We moved our stuff into our friends office, and have been invading her space for the last term and a half.
We continued to watch as the lights, air conditioner, ceiling and one of the walls were riped down. The office was a mess, covered with a layer of rubble and dirt.
The office was bolted shut for some time after. Ok so that's a slight exaggeration but it seemed like we were making no progress, for such a long time.
Then... with a lot of help from some good friends the walls and ceiling were replaced and the lights and air conditioner were put back in. The office looked like A room again, we thought this day would never come.

Here's were the title comes into the long winded story. In the last few days we have managed to buy new carpet, and find paint, (green paint). I spent 8 hours painting the ceiling, door frames and skirting boards white and the walls green. At the end of the day I was sore, tired and green with white speaks, and ready for a hot shower and bed.
...But boy did the office look good.
The desk went in yesterday and hopefully the carpet will follow shortly.
Good news the newly named 'TITANIC' (hence the sinking, after all the ark never sank.) is almost complete, we should be able to move back in in the next week or so, and I'm sure our friend will be glad to see us move back out of her office and back into ours. I'm telling you now putting up with us for a term is an achievement, we should get our friend a medal.
...So next time you see green paint have a chuckle to yourself and remember even in the most straight forward of circumstances EVERYTHING can go wrong.
green paint..... (giggle)
