Day 6 - Shimelle's LSNED Class


On Sunday, I decided to go for a bit of drive and suss out some of the scrapbooking shops around my area. There aren't any in my immediate area, all of them are at least 20 minutes away. But I thought, what better way to spend my Sunday morning? I had a feeling that they would be closed but I thought I would peek in a few windows and see whether they would be worth a return trip when the shop was open. I have been a little disappointed in not being able to find a local scrapbooking shop since returning to Melbourne. I actually thought there would be more options in Melbourne, than Darwin. And there may very well be, just not in the inner-Western suburbs. I have had to resort back to online shopping at Two Peas, which is a cheap option...until you add in the astronomical pricing for shipping!

Anyway, I jump in my little automobile and off I go with my Google map sitting on the passenger seat for a quick reference. Well I missed the first turn off, but that's ok, I'll just take the next one. Well, to cut a long story short, I finally got to my location about 20 minutes later than I should have, flustered and frustrated beyond belief. Which brings me to:

Today I learned that my sense of direction has become practically non-existant in recent times. I can get lost ANYWHERE!

So then I made my way home all dejected and ordered a bunch of stuff on Two Peas to make myself feel better. One thing is for sure, a GPS for my car is on the 2009 Christmas List!!!
