Cake it to the Limit
If you are not reading Cake It to the Limit, you should be. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I need to make some crazy cakes.

Kitchen Renovation
If you follow me at all on Facebook, you’re probably sick of hearing about the damn kitchen. I don’t blame you! But not everybody’s on Facebook, so it’s time to do a big photo round-up for everybody else. We kicked off the renovation at the end of January and it’s only just now finished. Big thanks go to both of our employers, who were really accommodating about letting us work from home on days where we had contractors in. While most of the work was done by others, we had to do a lot of packing, cleaning, painting, cleaning, unpacking, and more cleaning ourselves. We were without a kitchen for a total six weeks, and I never want to go through that again in my life. If you want to see all the details, just go here. And now for the glorious Before and After…

New Subaru BRZ
New Subaru BRZ
The big day has finally arrived, and I can now spill the beans. For the past several months at Sitback I’ve been working on a top secret new project: the launch of the Subaru BRZ sportscar, which is – we think – the first new car the world to be sold exclusively online. It’s been amazing to work on such a high-profile, top-secret project. I am not a Car Person, and I knew very little about the automotive industry when I started. I’ve had the opportunity to learn a LOT about how cars are sold and financed in Australia. I wrote hundreds of pages of documentation and got to attend meetings with high-level stakeholders (including a day trip to Melbourne just for a meeting!). A couple of weeks ago we demoed the site to the Subaru top brass, and as a special treat they brought the car for us to check out. I even got to drive it. It was pretty sweet! And then today was the big launch. These things never go smoothly, and it was tense through the afternoon. I had no idea what kind of reception the site was going to have. I hoped that maybe we’d get a couple people to place orders? Instead we sold out! What a crazy, crazy rush. I got to see this project alive and doing what it’s supposed to. Subaru got heaps of publicity for their new launch. And less than 200 lucky people actually got to order the car. Looks like everybody’s kicked a goal… 🙂 -

@milner1982 I’ve been to Paju the restaurant in Sydney, if that’s what you mean!
@milner1982 Unfortunately I can’t help – I’ve never been there! But the restaurant is excellent if you ever find yourself in Sydney. 🙂

First attempt at hanging new screen door was a schmozzle. Now on the phone to father-in-law to see if it can be unbuggered.

@randomknits I’m waiting on a heap of parcels, but I know exactly where they are: in my Mom’s suitcase! 🙂 (Only 10 days to go…)
Been wrestling with the worst client ever for several weeks now. I am one very demoralised BA.
I am really, really looking forward to my vacation. One more week.

@toastman What if you are a fat chick? Is there a multiplicative factor?
This evening’s drunken revelry brought to you by Costco’s Bulgogi Beef Jerky, aka Best. Thing. Ever. http://t.co/4T9gzmLQ
@toastman I may know/be someone who had a sexy dream about S.Hawking after that film.
@toastman You wanna go this weekend? We’ve been talking about it. Split the GoGet cost?
@toastman Right now there’s a coupon. $7 for 250g. There are other flavours. My friend brought me some bags, but I need more.
@misswired I think it’s yummy, but then, I’m a Korean Garlic Eater.
@toastman Sunday is perfect. Opens at 10am. Early is better.
@toastman Also, 60 rolls of TP for $24. WOOHOO.
@gusseting Fitness? Hahahaha.
