Where the hell is my furniture???

The removalists STILL havent arrived..... first they said wednesday, then thursday, then that they would get into town last night and deliver this morning..... no sign of em yet tho.... I've rung them but no answer...... HAVE THEY RUN OFF WITH MY STUFF??

Still lovin life here in the Isa. I feel like I've been here forever, like it is so very much my home, it's great. I've unpacked and tried to repack my car in a more orderly fashion haha and working out where the hell all my shit is going to go when it gets here. If it gets here lol

Oh btw, Odie is now my husband - he's been chatting to/up one of the neighbours and her husband got the shits (as you would), cracked it a little and wasn't speaking to the boys and giving them evils. Now that I'm here and he thinks I am Odie's wife, he is all friendly again. LOL how funny. We also have to play happy families to look at a house on Monday for the four of us... when Odie told the real estate he was looking for a 4br house, she made an assumption "Oh, for the wife and kids?" haha he just kind of went along with it. I'd say we've got a better chance of getting it that way, they'd probably rather rent to a 'family' than a bunch of singles i guess. Fingers crossed, cause the house sounds awesome - 2 storey, pool etc.



So there are now two dirt bikes (not sure if thats the correct nomenclature but anyway) in our living room, Daniel bought one as well.













Odie & Daniel went out for a spin the other day, and Odie was 'showing Daniel how to ride', doing a massive mono and then the bike flipped and he skidded along the dirt for a bit. Apparently a close call, he could have been seriously broken, he couldn't breathe for a bit. When they got back, Od was orange with the red dirt all over his face and everything - he had ripped his pants and shirt and has a MASSIVE cut/graze down his back, and his elbows too. It's insane. And kinda gross. But of course, being a boy, he's quite proud of his war wounds haha. I get the joy of changing the dressing on it for him and inflicting pain with the dettol. Pictures to come - i lost my camera for a day or two so I've only got a photo on my phone at this stage.





EDIT: Here's a photo, mind you, that's now after 5 days of 'healing' Ouch much??


But I do have some other photos: Our first dinner together on Monday nite (spag bol of course)



Some photos from outside the front of our house:

The Racecourse is across the road (lots of DIRT) and home to the big Mt Isa Rodeo, something to look forward to in August!




I think it's a water tower on the hill (above) and the rolling hills below.


Havent been getting much sleep - Daniel keeps me awake all night chatting in my ear LOL and we've been partying a bit this week, having loads of fun . Last night we went around to a friends place - played some music, sat around a bonfire, drinking etc it was pretty fun, then Od and I went to the nightclub at the Irish, then on to "The Club" afterwards (where everyone goes at the end of the night, its the last place open).

Photos from last night:






urghhh not a good look (for me) Od looks good tho. And this was EARLY in the night....



Those boys were crazy last night. The dog was gorgeous though. His name is Padlock haha



Sam and Daniel. You are a fool, boy



Oh dear


Nah it was a good night though. I do feel a little seedy today however. The boys have gone to watch a mate play soccer. And I'm still waiting for these damn removalists to turn up.

In the beginning

Welcome!!!
I've created this blog to co-incide with the beginning of my new life here in Mt Isa. Being the queen of reinvention that I am, I began this new chapter of my life on finally arriving last night on my road trip from Ballina. Odin's bike followed me here safely on the trailer, I dropped it off here at my new home and went and met John at the Irish where we made a killing on the pokies!!!! Awesome! First night here and I'm already making money.
I was serious when I said there was a Donna shaped hole here in the Isa just waiting for me to get here and fill it and I CAN'T WAIT to get on with my new life. There is just so much opportunity here and I'm really excited at what the future holds.
So if you have any linkages, link to me here. Of course I will still be on Myspazz and Facebook but its here I'll be blogging.
OK I will get back to you all later and keep you updated on happenings in the wonderful world of Mt Isa.

Love ya's
