    @Illdrinn Just realised this implies you’re back for a visit! Welcome home.


    @Illdrinn Not sure if you’ve heard the good news, but @the_snook will be joining your company’s Sydney office in a fortnight or so. 🙂


    48 homemade white chocolate and macadamia cookies ready for tomorrow. Half for Ivan’s last day; half for @kunaal84’s week of stress.


    RT @mashable: If Google Employee Dies, Spouse Gets 50% Salary for 10 Yrs http://t.co/5wGUdhVl // But if I keep @the_snook alive, I get 100%!


    White Chocolate Macadamia cookies for work today. Bon voyage, Ivan! (cc @AusMacadamias) http://t.co/mYrGkdnO


    It’s Yahoo Hack Day today, so @the_snook opted for the Red Trousers of Awesomeness. http://t.co/5xPaMqtK


    @acatinatree I thought you were referring to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, so I expected the link to be a lot funnier.


    You know a knitting project has gone off the rails when you start to feel negatively even towards the sheep. Stupid Cormo.

    @drkknits Woohoo! Are they REALLY, or have you just been eating your broccoli? 🙂


    @drkknits That’s so great! I need me some of that. Time to crank the One Direction. (I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING.)


    Had the bright idea to use a bulldog clip to keep my pant leg out of my bike chain this morning. Worked great – til I forgot it for an hour.


    @drkknits I’ll just, like, sew a felt bird to my clip. And then people will think I’m being TRENDY.


    @gilmae @drkknits 2012 is the year of Birds and Bunting, dude. Girls know these things.


    @gilmae @drkknits Well, you can wear an onion on your belt if you like. Meanwhile my RSS feeds are filled with this: http://t.co/gvygIB6z

    Why the Amish are one of the fastest-growing religious groups in N. America | MNN – Mother Nature Network – Interesting article. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Lagrange County (where I went to high school) is #2 on the list of counties likely to end up with an Amish population majority.

    Heh. Judging by the screenshot (http://t.co/o565GQ1p), @mat named his iPad “Ol Dirty Padster.” That’s kind of brilliant.

    So the compliment from the crazy man on the bus this morning actually was the highlight of my day. *sigh* Stressful first day back. 🙁


    AHHHHHH. The ferry we took to Manly on Thursday HIT A MAMA AND BABY WHALE TODAY. #horrified http://t.co/ulMUvxU1


    @drkknits Poor @kunaal84 was there til after 7:30 too, and his trip home will take longer than mine. 🙁


    RT @DeathStarPR: Natalie Portman got married in secret over the weekend. Can’t see THAT ending badly for anyone. #StarWars


    @Yarna_ How did I miss this? Congrats! Beautiful name. 🙂

    Just dropped in to Grand Opening of http://t.co/IuKarBu6. Awesome! Thrilled to have a sewing shop in the neighbourhood. 🙂


    Okay, so the random bus dude who said I looked lovely and wished me a good day was clearly a crazy person. Still, nice start to Monday.

    .@brooke_fong @astroboysoup Interesting that it doesn’t say much about fulfilment, which is where my @Pozible experience hasn’t been great.

    Just checked out Sew Make Create at the tail end of the Grand Opening weekend. Lovely little shop! I really hope Melissa puts on some sewing classes soon. That place is going to be such a temptation, I know it.

    Good grief. Made a FB post about the stupid Chick-Fil-A thing; got the most epic tl;dr in the world in reply from a family member. *sigh*


    I need to read some tweets from my awesome cousins to recalibrate my opinions of the MIdwest. (cc @imdominating @Justacogitating)

    Mmm. Ghee. http://t.co/vkQLuG6g


    @blakkat Snook and I are doing it. No booze, no sugar, no dairy, no grains. Nutritional reset button! Already difficult tho. #whole30


    @blakkat Definitely no bread and potatoes! Google “Whole30”. It’s rough, but we’ve been going in the wrong direction for a while.


    @drkknits Tonight Snook’s roasting lamb with pumpkin & spinach. Ghee is just because we’re trying no dairy this month. Whole30 = hardcore!


    @jessgenevieve Ooh, lovely. I’m a big fan of slow carb; followed it for a while last year!


    @jessgenevieve I’m a big fan of the Paleo Salisbury Steaks: http://t.co/YsyEZLcC. We have those at least once a fortnight!


    @blakkat Ooh, thanks. Adding to Google Reader now!

    Was just inspired to donate to http://www.australianmarriageequality.com. Simply making posts on FB just leads to frustration, and I’d rather take positive action.

    (Why don’t we have any same-sex kiss-in protests in Australia? Because I will totes smooch all of ya’z. Hey @Bex – we need to MAKE THIS HAPPEN.)
