My life in a minute – 6 September

I saw this idea on Shaggygirl’s blog and thought I’d steal it (thanks Shaggygirl!) because it’s concise, pithy and informative.

Here’s what’s going on this week …

ReadingThe 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. I’ve only just started so you’ll have to stay tuned for the book review.

 

Bought this from Better Read Than Dead in Newtown, Sydney.


Listening to
– The Macbreak Weekly podcast because I was lucky enough to visit their studios when I was in Petaluma, California recently.

Alex Lindsay and Leo Laporte on the set of Macbreak Weekly at the TWIT Studios in Petaluma, California.


Watching
– RUSH on Channel 10. Yes, I love that show. For those of you who don’t know about it: think hot police officers solving crime while undergoing their own personal crises.

Buying – A leather jacket from BCBG.

Making – A lot of mess at home because I haven’t had time to tidy up.

Planning – The next two months. It’s jampacked with lots of seminars, events and speaking engagements. First on the agenda: I’m hosting the predeparture meeting for our wonderful students on our Writing in Paris program. They head off on their adventure soon. Au revoir!

Loving – My cat Rex. Painted this picture of him on the weekend.

After two days of business strategy, painting was the final activity at the Women in Focus Conference at Byron Bay held by Commbank on the weekend.


Being
– Slightly frazzled but loving the energy when lots of exciting things are happening.

    Really cute idea – and OMG – what a gorgeous picture of your cat.
    I think I may have to steal this idea for my own blog.

      Hi Denise, my cat says “thanks” for appreciating his beauty. And what a gorgeous pic of you in those CommBank ads!

        Thanks Val – they sent me two giant posters of my head! Hilarious – what does one do with that?

        By the way Val – I was listening to Ali Brown’s OSBS from 2008 and heard your lovely voice. Are you going to Shine this year?
