Five Things for Friday (vol. 3)

World Cup

I am really loving following the World Cup this year! My son is really getting into it as well, and it’s a highlight for me that first thing in the morning we turn the TV on and watch whatever game is playing at the time.

We’ve set some hard rules around tech at home this year, which means my son only gets tech Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays. That includes TV! So this feels like a huge treat for him.

My sister also convinced us to do a Fantasy Football competition, so we’re very much watching for the scorelines and who plays well. It seems like I’m doing something ok, because I’m currently winning the competition. My son is right there behind me, but as for my husband?…

Gold Coast Theme Parks, Big Emotions Bootcamp, and a 3am World Cup

It’s 3.15 am, and I’m awake at this unholy hour to watch Germany in their opening match of the World Cup.

As much as this is going to hurt later today, there’s something I love about waking up at dumb o’clock for things. It screams of a level of passion, stupidity, too, but waking up at these times has only ever been for good things. Whether it was the World Cup, my friend playing para Ice Hockey for Australia, or going on holidays, it’s always been for a good reason.

Of course, my brain also thinks that I may as well use up the time for productive things. So, as I sit here watching the game on one screen, I’m writing a blog post on the other.…

5 Things for Frursday Vol. 2

It’s Friday night, I’m procrastinating from doing the things I should be doing… so here we are.

Oh wait, no it’s not.

It’s Thursday!

We have a long weekend here (show holiday tomorrow), so it feels like a Friday night. I could schedule it to post tomorrow, I suppose, but that’s not as fun as admitting that my brain shut down, or that it’s just felt like a long week.

Let’s invent a new term then.

Frursday. Friday on a Thursday.

On with the 5 for a Frursday!

1 – Queen of Procrastination

I read a great quote this morning, and it sums me up perfectly for the last month or so:

Procrastination makes easy things hard, and hard things harder.

5 things on a Friday

I’ve seen this topic trend on other blogs, and I love the idea. It’s also 9 pm, but I randomly wanted to smash out a post before bed, so here we are.

It’s going to be my highest quality writing ever, duh.

Let’s see how many typos I can make.

Almost caught up on reading blogs

I am so excited that I’ve almost caught up on reading the backlog of blog posts, thanks to all the new blogs I discovered!

As of right now, there are only 16 unread posts!

This means I can get back to writing comments on everyone’s posts, and sharing in a bit of the community love. Comments are always fun and welcome *hint hint*.

Then, of course, I’ll be on the hunt for some more now that I’ve gotten into a routine with reading, so if you know some good sites, please keep recommending them!…

Late nights, lost games, and a broken bike

Hoo boy, I stayed up late last night watching the State of Origin, and I’m pooped! I’ll be drinking all the coffee today.

For my international readers, the State of Origin is an Australian rugby league football series, best out of three games. It’s played state against state, Queensland vs New South Wales. Professional rugby league players are selected to play for the state where they played their first senior game. It’s arguably more important than the actual club Rugby League series. It’s divisive, and people are extremely passionate about their chosen state. The game has a lot of history, supposedly the first interstate game was played in 1908, and there has been fights, blood, sweat, and tears.

And so much banter.…
