Hey,
This week has been a rollercoster.
In short, i recieved the crappy news that my last pap test has come back with an abnormality.
Fantastic.
I have another appointment with my gynocologist next week, so hopefully it will be something easily 'fixable', or it may have been a bad reading.
Either way- i am hopping and praying that i do not have to go through what i did last time. Not to mention think about what another round of treatment wil do to my chances of having children.
eehhh!
Heres hoping!

Hi all,
Hope your week is going fantastically, and all you Aussie's celebrated AUSTRALIA DAY in double pluggers, bucket hats and by the water!
In honour of good old Australia day- I wanted to let you in on some of the funnier things people on my facebook have come up with in response to a 'you know your Australian when...' status! Haha!
You know your Australian when-
You think stubbies can be drank or worn.
You believe the 'i' in 'Australia' is optional.
You can perfectly translate the sentence 'Shazza, Dazza and Kazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas'.
You think 'Wooloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a town.
You think it makes total sense that a one dollar coin is twice the size of a two dolar coin.
You think youve been ripped off if theres no beetroot on your hamburger.
Your biggest family argument was over a game of backyard cricket.
You know how to abbreviate every word in the english dictionary- and they usually all end in 'o'. Arvo, servo, garbo, smoko, righto, speedo- just to name a few.
You understand completley when people say 'no wucking furries.'
When you think something is good you say 'tops', but if theres a 'bloody' before it, you know you really mean it.
You know that the barbeque is the biggest political arena. &
You understand that there is actually a place called 'woop woop' located in Australia, it just happens that its very far from where you are, and in the middle of nowhere.
But on a serious note- feeling completely lucky and priveliged to be living in such an amazing country, surrounded by beautiful land and people!
Hope everyone had an amazing Australia day!
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

Hey there,
A few months ago a friend of mine seperated from her partner. Okay, it happens.
They have a one year old daughter.
Things have gone haywire. Its not an uncommon story, really.
All of a sudden her ex-partner thinks it is no longer necissary to help her out with money, the home or their child because 'she was the one who wanted him gone.' Now, i am sorry- but this makes me extremely feisty.
Obviously there was good reason for her to end the relationship and i am a firm believer in the idea that a stable, happy, single parent home is much more beneficial to a childs life than an unhappily married home is. But, whats more than appauling is the fact that people are looking down on her and generally acting terribly towards her for ending this relationship because she has a child.
Newsflash people- a child is not a set of handcuffs!
I know that there may be some 'generational differences' on this matter, but really, any man (or woman- i know that does happen too!) who thinks it unnecissary to have a part in his own childs life out of spite does not get my pity vote. Anyone can be a 'father', but it takes alot more to be a 'dad'. This, my dear people, just does not cut the mustard in my books!
While i do think, in an ideal setting, both parents should be around and that the decision to have a child with someone should not be made lightly because of this, sometimes things just dont work out. Its sad, and i know that in most cases, people wish they could feel differently. But the reality is sometimes we make bad decisions and sometimes we change our minds. I do not think having a child means you should just throw your self respect out the door and 'deal with it' if you are unhappy or being mistreated in a relationship.
So- in other words- all the power to you, you strong single mama's who have respected yourself and your children enough to leave an unhealthy relaionship. I truley believe that in the long run, your children and YOU will thank you for it. This is the advice I am giving to my friend right now, and I know its easier said than done. But- shes a mum. In my books, that reason overrides every other reason.

Hi guys,
Hoping your weekends are going well!
I have had a super busy weekend so far! A friends Hens night (which was sufficently CRASHED by the bucks night boys in the middle of a little 'show'! Haha! Was alot of fun and Steff, the maid of honour had a great night planned for bride-to-be Sami. Cocktail bar, chocolate truffles and penis straws included! ;)
Sami & Matt have been together as long as I can remember, through highschool and through long distance, family issues and everything else in between. It's great to be able to celebrate something like that!
Bride and Groom to be!
Then, I had a friends birthday party. There were a few college friends there and its needless to say we got back to the little inter-college fued that usually happens when people from opposing colleges get together. What ended was a hilarious night full of drinking games, music, dancing and singing- with a few shots, a few bottles of wine and ALOT of cake.
The smokes aren't mine, by the way. High-five to the non-smokers!
Kane went on a hunting trip last night, so he should be home any minute with a blow-by-blow of what he caught, when he caught it & how he caught it- which I will respond with 'Thats so sad!'. Then im hoping for a big counter lunch somwhere to cure my little headache before work tonight!

Hi all,
This morning i decided i would 'clean out' my study (ahem.)
There I found a box full of photos of college. Like these:
Yes- I am swigging out of a bottle of $ 5 champers.
Yes- I am wearing a cape and a beanie.
Yes- we got covered in paint that sometimes didnt come off for days, sang obscene rugby chants and shamelessley thought we were better than every other college because we were louder, drunker and had our own pub bus.
And;
YES- most of my days were spent sitting in hallways drinking whatever alcohol was left over from the night before, out of a plastic tub, with a communal jug, with a goon box on my head.
What of it!?
It was FUN! And im kinda sad that that part of my life is over.
I know its probably horrible to say that. I have a great boyfriend, family and friends who keep me thouroughly entertained- but, I dunno.
I guess my life is just movin' right along. Like a goddamn steamtrain!
Everything is moving f.a.s.t- and I think days where I can sit around and watch 'Kill Bill' marathons, go to class for an hour, then hang out for a cup of noodles and a beer (and feel like it had been a productive day, because i'd actually gone to class) are no longer in existance.
Thats ok. I chose where I am now, and I dont regret it.
I like to be able to work to have enough money to afford to buy proper food, and new clothes and not make the dreaded 'hey ma, can you loan me fifty bucks?' call.
I like to be closer to Kane.
I guess we all go through this stage when we are confronted with something life- changing.
The thought of having kids right now does scare me. I didnt plan for this to happen. I didnt plan to be sick enough to have to make this call right now- but I was, and I am.
Thats the truth of the matter- and no matter how many trips I make down memory lane I know that ive been handed this card and I have to play with it.
I'll make the best of it.
Hopefully I wont completley tank and fail- but im willing to give it a damn good try.
Have any of you had to make similar decision? My head is swimming.
Love, Keya. x

Hi all,
So- i thought today i would 'introduce' you to a few important people in my life. The ones who make my world go round'!
Firstly,
Meet Kane!
My boyriend of 6 years. Loves to fish, hunt, ride bulls, play football and all the other hyper-masculine things you could think of. He is the epitomy of 'blokes bloke'. He's as stubborn as me (and thats an achievement!) and can find the most innapropriate times to crack the most innapropriate jokes, without fail.
Secondly,
Meet my mum, Nicole.
This woman is possibly the most IMPULSIVE person on the planet. Wants to cut her hair? That same day it will go from being down to her bum and blonde to above her shoulders and dark brown. However- she is a rutheless organiser when she wants to be and god help you if you a) get in the road, or b) try and change her mind. If you want something done quickly- you go to her. She is honest to a tee, shoots from the hip and I love her for it. She is a beautiful person and i am lucky to be her daughter. I hope i am half the mother one day that she is to me.

Thirdly,
Meet my dad, Fred.
This man is hands down the hardest working man i have ever known. He works the longest hours, in the hardest conditions and loves his family so fiercely you can feel it in every word he says. He has the dryest sense of humor (one that we share), has a high set of expectations and is driven by morals and ethics. He and my mum have been together since he was 17 & my mum 14- over half of their lives!
Once again, i am so proud to be his daughter and hope that one day i can show my kids the kind of love and support he has always shown me.
Finally,
Meet the bestfriends! Jess & Meg.
These girls have been through a whole lot with me. They have held my hand, held me up, cried & laughed with me. If ever i need anything i know that they will be there. Meg (right) is probably the most trustworthy, loyal, kind and dependable person i know. Honestly beautiful and strong in every sense of the words. Jess (left) is funny, quick witted and has the same kind of impulsive shopping habit that i do. She knows just what to do and say if i have some kind of 'life crisis' and 'yell-cry' at her down the phone in the middle of the night.
So- there are many, many other people that i havn't mentioned yet- my friends Jess Norris, Jess Maiden, my brother (who you already 'met' on a post before hand, my college crew, my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc etc- they are all so important- but, you will meet them as this little blog gets bigger and better, i assume! :)
I would love to hear who makes YOUR world go around, and why they are so important.
Hoping you all are having an amazing, productive day!
Love, Keya. x
