I was bored and feeling very uninspired. Hence the polyvore spammage. I create 3 new sets today. Be sure to click on them and read the descriptions =D (and fave and comment too =P)

iPhone rambles
Being sick does has it advantages. Lost 1.7kg. But there is absolutely no way I'm staying sick to lose weight. I hate being sick. I'm still sick, after a week. I am starting to feel better, I have a pretty bad cough and I'm slightly stuffed up still, but I'm back at work.
I've started watching Paradise Kiss, it's an anime and about a group of fashion designers. It's quite good (3 episodes in).
11ish sleeps until iPad. I say "11ish" because it will arrive after or before (hopefully before) May 28. I've been wasting my time waiting by looking at ipad photos on Flickr and checking out reviews online. :)
I need help with a 50s housewife party. What am I suppose to wear??? Was there even any "plus-size" housewives in the 50s??? It's on the 19th June so I have some time. Any suggestions would be great.
That's it for today. Have a nice night. :)

Melbourne Trip Update
So the City Chic store in Melbourne has been renovated and re-opened and it looks amazing. I'm hoping when I'm in Melbourne (6 weeks from today!) I will be able to check it out. Check out some photos here.
I'm really excited about Melbourne. It's getting closer and closer. There is so much that I want to do in the 4 days that we're there, but I know Tahlia will want to do stuff too. This is what we have agreed upon:
I've been writing my packing list for weeks now. I don't want to over pack like I did last time I went away, and since I plan on buying lots =D I need room to bring it all back. =D
I do need to learn to relax. I like being in control when I travel, but knowing that I will be with Tahlia (she's slightly free-spirited, spur of the moment sorta gal... in other words, the complete opposite to me) I need to learn to go with the flow, or at least not freak out when something goes awry! But we'll go fine. I'm so excited (I've said that a million times now)
Things That I Freaking Out About:
I'm really excited about Melbourne. It's getting closer and closer. There is so much that I want to do in the 4 days that we're there, but I know Tahlia will want to do stuff too. This is what we have agreed upon:
- Titanic Exhibition (probably the day we get to Melbourne)
- Tim Burton Exhibition (Monday 28th) - We have put aside the whole day for this, but I don't think it will take all day.
- Eureka Skytower and The Edge (maybe Monday, possibly Tues-Wed)
- Shopping (Minotaur is the most important, and Melbourne Central. We will probably spend the time wandering the city)

Things That I Freaking Out About:
- 2 of us, 3 seats in a row. Which mean in the plane, there will be someone else sitting there. Which is stressing me out a bit. I will have to try to get Tahlia to sit next to who ever, and try and steal the Aisle seat (I'd rather be by the window)
- the fact our plane to Melbourne leaves Perth at 6.15AM so we'll have to be at the airport by 5AM, which will mean getting up at 4AM!!!! =O

Body Acceptance
Thanks to Emma. I have found a couple of wonderful fashion blogs by plus-sized women.
First there is Young, Fat & Fabulous (this is the one Emma posted about on her blog) it's full of wonderfully inspiring posts and photos of other beautiful plus-size women. That's how I found the following 2 blogs:
definatalie.com & MessyCarla, both extra awesome. Natalie at definatalie.com is about my size, but has embraced it (I still haven't managed to yet) and is from Brisbane, so her posts are relevant to me. Carla at MessyCarla, is size 16, but loves all things colourful and kitsh (which I can also relate too), she's from the UK and is awesome.
I try to get inspired. All these beautiful women, that are my size and sometimes bigger, and they're all so confident and inspiring, I just can't seem to do it. They talk about body acceptance. I've tried to accept myself the way I am, but I just can't. I think it's because of where I live. The only plus-size shop we have (other than Target and Kmart) is Autograph, but I can't afford clothes (well if I didn't buy an iPad I could, but I would rather have an iPad) I'm quite happy it jeans and tees. But I feel frumpy. I have a dress (actually I have a couple) but I hate having bare arms so I don't wear them, and I don't have anything to wear over the top. I really should try some layering.
Since I'm talking about body acceptance. Here's a photo of myself looking like a complete and utter tool, everytime I open my picture folder it's there and it makes me laugh, so here it is. You're allowed to laugh. But you're not allowed to use it as blackmail =D
Also, while I'm here I was told today that I would have to wait until June 7 until I got my iPad, because apparently Australia had ran out. God I was pissed. So I went online to figure out what the hell was going on. But guess what? because I pre-ordered my iPad before Wednesday I will still get it "by May 28". The amount of iPads allocated to Australia wasn't enough so they had to order some more, which won't be ready until June 7. But because I got in quick, I get one of the iPad already allocated. phew!

Molly Is...
...sick (obviously), very bored (very obvious) and just plain BLAH. I have, however, signed up for the 365 Postcards project. Some random is going to send me a postcard, some day this year. I don't know what it will look like or what she will say, but I can't wait. There are still a few spaces left if you want to join in. Check out the site, 365postcards, for more details.
In some slightly more exciting news. 2 (of the 4) volumes of the comic book collections on Runaways arrived today. vol 8 - Dead End Kids by Joss Whedon (yep that Joss Whedon), Michael Ryan and Christina Strain, and vol 11 - Homeschooling by Kathryn Immonen (who will be appearing at Supanova this year) and Sara Pichelli. Vol 1 & 2 are on there way. I bet now you're wondering why I bought vol 1, 2, 8 & 11. Well 1 & 2 is obvious, vol 8 I bought because it's going out of stock soon and it's by Joss Whedon, and vol 11 I bought so I could take it to Supanova to get Kathryn to sign.
Sorry about the crap quality of the photo. I turned on my camera to discover the battery is dead, so I used my iPhone (which has no FLASH!) I can't read these ones yet. I've only read the first 2 comics (volume 1 contains the first 6) so I'm not very far into the story. If I'd known it was going to be this long I probably wouldn't of got hooked, but too late now. Anyway enough rambling. I'm off to bed. I was very lucky and managed to get Toni to do my shift for me tomorrow night, which means I don't have to work until Sunday morning. Hopefully... not not hopefully... I WILL be better by then.
