Welcome to the New
Look Vault
I am proud to introduce The Vault's
new filing system. Instead of opening last month's entry when you click
on "The Vault", it will bring you to this index page. From
here you can click on whatever month you choose.
I'll even list the month's
highlights. Easy for you, easier for me. Cooleo.
I got sick
of the crusty old vault image. I'm going with Aussie pole vaulter,
Dmitri Markov. When you see Dmitri, you'll know you're in the vault.

2002 - Shaping up to be
something,...
- January
A month of high finance and real estate. We spent the first
couple of weeks painting and decorating, about two days selling
and buying and the rest packing. Somehow, my three month break
between semesters has disintegrated into a couple of days spent
sewing and the rest just flat out doing stuff. [sigh] QUT
offered me a place in their Bachelor of Creative Industries.
Stay tuned.

February, March, April (Combined)
After all the busy repairs over Christmas, I had an even busier
February and March. I was temping three days a week and studying
full-time and trying not to have a nervous breakdown. We moved
house and I have finally managed to get my web-site out of the box
on 30 April. May should be more interesting, especially with the
return of Big Brother..

Shout for
joy, oh Heavens,
rejoice, oh Earth,
burst into song, oh mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on His
afflicted ones.

49:13 NIV

2001 - What a
year!
-
March
Includes entries from late
February as well as March. Describes our big journey from Melbourne
to Brisbane, the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix, despair over
infertility and diabetes.
-
April
This is the month when I
moved from Melbourne to Brisbane. I was packing, cleaning, moving,
driving, adventuring, unpacking, unemployed. It's a pretty action
packed month of my life. It was also Logie month.
On Sunday,
22 April 2001, I got the courage to write about all the
wonderful things God has done in my life. It's mainly about a
medical condition I have called Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
If you read nothing else from April 2001, read that.
-
May
This is the month that
brought Australia their first dose of Big Brother. You've just gotta
read my on-going commentary about who should stay and who should go.
Includes observations on the Harrods tote bag phenomenon and a link
to Disgruntled Housewife's theory on time ie. how it goes slowly
when you're young, but speeds up as you age. Interesting.
-
June
June saw the end of Financial
year, blurbs about my Seachange fixation and more Big Brother. It
was definitely an action packed month of Big Brother discussions.
Due to some silly person moving/deleting their site, the link to the virtual bubblewrap
page no longer works.

July
I was at my wittiest on
Sunday 22 & Tuesday 24. Gee, I'm so funny. I crack me up. It's
not all fart jokes and slapstick, it's genuinely witty. On the 24th,
I did one of those columns where you link a concept from the beginning
in again at the end. I went to a writing seminar about those one
day, and I think I just about pulled it off. Might sell that column
to some magazine some day.
Oh yeah, it was also the end of Big Brother. Congratulations Ben.
July also saw Destination Digest's first on-line game - a variation
on a drinking game. Check it out. See if you can guess the
song/artist from a few lines of lyrics. It's fun and you can play it
in the back of the car on long trips.

August
This month had a few
political rants about boat people, diabetes, fertility (or lack
thereof) and uni. There was also a remarkable achievement by pole
vaulter, Dmitri Markov.
An interesting follow-up to my entry on August 20 - I got a
Distinction in that subject. So, I well and truly conquered 90502 -
Australia, Asia and the Pacific.
-
September
a.k.a "Fonzie Month"
You've gotta check out the
Fonzie sound clip on this month's page. It's a tribute to my new
goldfish named Fonzie.
There's plenty of entries about PCOS and fertility in September and
a cathartic entry about Jason Akermanis,.... Oh yeah, and some US
terrorist thing happened mid-month, world lost its innocence, blah,
blah, blah.
-
October
Destiny's sister got married.
I went a bit crazy over the V8's at Bathurst.
All in all a crappy month. I pranged the car and got very sad about
subsidence cracking in my house. I began having to test my blood
pressure 6x a day. Urk.
The election was pretty sad too,... the boat people effort was
appalling on both sides of the political fence. Where's our Aussie
mateship and good Samaratanism now, huh?
-
November
I went a little fashion crazy
this month. It's a good thing, I need to care more about my
presentation. This site had its one thousandth visitor in November.
It also saw another failed Clomid cycle and more wishful pregnancy
tests. I'm a sad sight when I've probably spent $500 in this
lifetime on failed pregnancy tests. You girls with normal menstrual
cycles don't know how blessed you are. [sigh]
-
December
A pathetic four entries in
the first half of the month, but it hots up after that. Highlights
include downloads from the Skatt Brothers and Ali G (not suitable
for kiddies).
There are also ramblings about our renovations. Yes, the cracks are
going away, just like in Isaiah 42:16.
This time of year I usually get deep and meaningful, but the silly
season stole all my time.
Stay tuned in January for a little pondering about life, dreams and
plans for 2002.
