As my memory of Saturday's Young Member's Day is fairly fuzzy to say the least (something to do with going to the gym before the races...ooops), Caitlyn has happily provided a guest post for the event. I'll add some photos as soon as I work out how to get them off my camera.
Hello, Caitlyn here.
So I'm going to give a shot at blogging, using Heather's blog of course. We are at the races drinking wine while the boys try to make some money. I tried to put a bet on the first race and my horse came last so I've given up for today. I'm much better at drinking wine than betting, wino for life I say.
An update on the fashion here at Flemington. I wouldn't say it was great and I wouldn't come here for any inspiration. A lot of short frilly dresses and a lot of pink, both of which I am not a fan of, but each to their own I guess. Lets turn our eyes to the men, I have found a lot of what my Greek girls would call "wog tappers". If you've never heard the term before they are the bad shoes boys use to wear out to the trashy clubs when they just turned 18. They are usually white and of the pointed variety - GROSS! Speaking of white, white stockings are not ok. I've given it a go, it wasn't successful, so I wouldn't advise it for anyone else.
Enough of me... Everyone have a lovely day! Signing out, Miss Maney.

My Happiness Project
Last year I decided that May was 'Me Month' and spent the whole month doing things to make me happy, which was great, but why stop at one month? For me this isn't about crazy resolutions I won't keep, it's about small adjustments and habits I'd like to form over time...except the shark diving, I'm hoping that doesn't become a habit. I've got a few projects currently on the go, and will keep updating with new ones as I progress.
A few of the things I'm working on for my Happiness Project:
Healthy Heather
I've been working on being healthier by doing pilates and personal training once a week and eating a lot better than usual. From here I'd like to get to:
- PT & Pilates once a week each
- 2 extra gym sessions (even if one of them is just floating around the hydrotherapy pool)
- Eating healthier all the time
- Drinking lots more water, and lots less wine (during the week)
Happy Heather
Who would have guessed that someone who hated writing would enjoy writing a blog so much? I want to keep up the blogging, and as mentioned in last week's post, I'd like to clean out my wardrobe - nice tidy spaces make me happy. I'd like to spend more time with friends who make me happy, and less time worrying about the ones that stress me out.
Handy Heather
I haven't really been cooking much over the last few years, so I'm working on learning at least one new recipe a week...I'm yet to poison anyone so far.
Harmonious Heather
I've been loving attending my weekly meditation group, so my aim is to keep this up, and to remember to take a few moments to 'chill out' every once in a while.
Heroic Heather
Um, how does diving with Great White Sharks sound?
Hidden Heather
I'd like to be more of a 'hidden Heather', unfortunately my habit of over-sharing seems to prevent that...sometimes it's not necessary to tell everyone, everything...I'd like to work on sharing a little less. I'd also like to start making eye contact with people again, not quite sure when I stopped doing this, but it must make me look really shifty - next time we talk make sure I'm making eye contact.
Hopeful Heather
I'd really like to make and stick to a budget...how hard can it be right? I'll post a little more about this on Friday (pay day!)...may as well start fresh with some money in the account!
Do you have any Happiness Projects on the go or any suggestions for projects to try?
I have nothing to wear!
Apparently most women only wear 20% of whats in their wardrobe regularly. In my case it's probably more like 10%. Despite the fact that I have a rather large walk in wardrobe literally bursting with clothes (I could probably go more than six months without washing if I wore everything), I still can't find anything to wear in the morning. I no longer remove tags from clothes when I buy them because I frequently find things in my wardrobe I haven't seen in years that have never been worn, and they sell better on eBay with the tags still attached!My project for this month is to make peace with my wardrobe. This month I won't buy any new clothes, shoes or accessories (so I have more money to spend shark diving in Port Lincoln). I will go through my wardrobe and clear out the things I will never wear. Even the things that I 'haven't worn yet, but I just love so I have to keep'...they should be the first to go!
Anything that I keep will have to be matched to other accessories I already own - I'm not keeping anything that requires new shoes/tops/hats to be bought to wear with it. I think that's one of the reason a lot of clothes don't get worn, because they don't 'stand alone'.
I started yesterday by wearing a pair of shoes I'd bought and never worn....bad idea - new shoes always hurt, and a silky top...that was slightly more successful. This weekend I'm going to sort through and work out what to keep and what to throw...wish me luck!
Pay day
Today is pay day, and my favourite thing to do on pay day is buy stuff I don't need. Today I bought some amazing man repelling pants:
And some books, the best of which is:
The others are:
Next I'm going to pay for shark diving and then I'll have no more money until next pay day...I wonder what I can buy then.
And some books, the best of which is:
The others are:
- Steppenwolf, Herman Hesse
- And the Ass saw the Angel, Nick Cave
- Amsterdam, Ian McEwan (I pretty much only got this 'cos my friend James said it was good...it'd better be.)
Next I'm going to pay for shark diving and then I'll have no more money until next pay day...I wonder what I can buy then.
