I can’t even tell the rest of the office how brilliant “Single Ladies (in Mayberry”) is, because they don’t know the Andy Griffith Show.

Going to collect my team’s City2Surf race packs. Only 5 days left!
How to Double Blog Traffic in 1 Day: insult graffiti knitters. That’s my bit of SEO genius for July. (Note to self: put ads up next time!)
@TimBags Which did you get? I’ve been looking myself.
RT @gilmae: @web_goddess Isn’t it hard to make the yarn stick to the side of the train? <- BWAHAHAHA…
@carbolicious Excellent. Hopefully we’ll be there then too!
Could James Mathison replace Kyle on Idol? PLEASE OH PLEASE! http://bit.ly/19zmIr Mathison was the best thing about that show.
@witty_knitter Yay! I hope it isn’t too much bureaucracy. I don’t remember having to get a police report? Maybe just for Kiwis?! 😛
@Ezzles Ha. I once dragged my 12yo neighbour to see Phantom Menace like four times. #shameful #confession
Looking for reputable plumber/water heater guy in Inner West. Anybody know somebody?
On my way to physio to see if my back can be improved before Sunday’s race.
Yowch. I’m gonna have bruises!
@TimBags Ha, that’s right next door to our office!

Professional Organizer
Seriously? The idea of a professional organiser coming to my house and sorting out all our STUFF makes me swoon. That would be so awesome.

Happiness – experiences or possessions?
Which gives greater happiness – experiences or possessions? Snookums and I discussed that article last week and both agreed that we are way happier spending money on experiences rather than objects. That Iron Chef dinner was probably the most needlessly extravagant thing we’ve ever purchased, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ll remember that forever. A co-worker was surprised recently when he found out that we don’t have wedding rings. But I don’t see how any piece of jewelry could possibly make me as happy as our goofy wedding in Vegas. That said… we both do have iPhones, and we love them. So we’re not completely anti-materialistic…

Perennial Vegetables
Perennial Vegetables. I really like the idea of growing asparagus. I’ve read that it can take years to start producing though…

Google Reader
I’ve gotten in the habit of just hitting “share” on interesting links in Google reader rather than actually, you know, blogging them. Sorry about that.

@witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim Okay, this conversation has gone in very different direction from innocent proclamation of arrival of spring!
Chippendale Fresh Food Co-op is really happening! If you’re in Chippo and not on the email list, let me know and I’ll forward.

Holy crap. Ben & Jerry’s are opening in Sydney! Free ice cream! THE TOTAL WRECK OF MY DIET! http://www.benandjerry.com.au (@gadgetgirl70)
@carbolicious Huh. I saw somebody on TV once with a glitter phobia. It’s very real and weird.
The Shawl Virus is spreading. I can appreciate them as beautiful things… but no, not for me. I may have to build a bunker and hide.
Getting the low-down on machinations within Sydney retail craft community. Very interesting things are afoot!

RunningBlog
After the success of the Bay Run yesterday, I’m feeling back on track for the Half-Marathon in seven weeks. The next hurdle will be this weekend’s City 2 Surf, 14km from the city out to Bondi. I’m not planning on setting any specific time goals for this one; I’m going to treat it just as a normal long slow run. (In fact, I’m thinking of doing an enforced run-walk to keep my pace down.) My distance this week was a big step down, mostly because I didn’t want to wear myself out before the Bay Run. I think I’m probably due for another visit to the physio though… My back was hurting quite a bit at the end of yesterday’s run. Need to get it sorted before the Half.
This week: 17.8km (11mi)
Last week: 28.8km (18mi)
