Straight lines

01p
I love this song by silverchair at the moment. I can't get enough... "lately i'm a desperate believer, walking in a strait line..." I love it... I've always been a huge silverchair fan. I am also loving the Beyonce' and Shakira song "Beautiful Liar". I seem to be drawn to these types of heart breaker songs, which is strange considering i have never really gone through a break up or anything like that. Luke was my first real serious boyfriend, i did have a few crushes in high school of course but no relationships ever came out of them. Not sure why I'm sharing this LOL.
I am also slightly...ok VERY excited at the idea that Christina Agulera is touring Aus.. omg i nearly pee'd when Luke showed me the pre-sale announcement. I would LOVE to go, but it depends on how much it is. Her "stripped" album is one of my all time favorites. If you have never heard it, don't be put off by the smutty image she has, it really is a fantastic soulful album.
Ok so that was "the music world according to Clair" so i'll get onto something else now LOL.

This is the lovely view from my window. I adore autumn, in my opinion it is one of the best seasons to have photographs taken in. The colors are just so rich, and you are also more likely to get a nice even overcast day (a photographers dream), but even if it is sunny the light is nice and soft. I just love it. I have two sessions coming up this weekend and i can't wait to capture some of this color.

Kinder started back today, so i am back to having my mummy Mondays. I have to go pick up Koby from kinder soon and take him over to PIL's, then I'm gonna hit a few opp shops and the post office. So i may very well be back to show off some finds later.

I've got some secret scrapping news that will have to remain secret for a bit longer I'm afraid. But it's very exciting. I managed to get quite a bit done this weekend scrapping wise which was great. And my Poppy Ink kit arrived today so i have some new toys to play with now. Might even do some this afternoon.

I'll leave you with the reason why i never seem to get any work done while Charlee is home anymore. This is what i am greeted with every time i get up from the computer to get something. Such a pest... how is one suppose to concentrate with such a cute distraction?

I'm not dead.

994379_1 Loving this new album by Pink. Been groovin around the house to it all morning. My favorite song at the moment is "Who knew" (her current single, and the reason i brought the album). Lovin it. I had a child free morning today. My mother-in-law decided to take Charlee along with her and Koby to playgroup. So i got to have a shower in peace and get stuck into some cleaning. I organized the space around my computer, so you can now actually see the desk. I also did two loads of washing, the dishes and cleaned the lounge. Charlee was brought back home at about 11:30 and has been napping ever since (nearly 2 hours now) and Koby went back to MIL's house for the day.

As soon as Miss C wakes we are gonna hit the town. Well actually, we are just going to the post office and Coles, but it's better than nothin. I made an utterly hideous top for charlee on Saturday. It is to hideous to even show off, so i wont. But i did redeem myself by making her a cute pair of pants. They have just been washed though so i cant show them off either.

I have calmed myself down about over the whole Playgroup photo shoot thing. I have managed to organize people to watch the kids for a few of the days, and i have sat down and planned out exactly what i need to do. Once i broke it all down it was a lot easier to take in. So i think i can handle it now.

Better go make the most of the peace and quiet and fold some washing. xx

Song i cant get enough of at the moment.

This would have to be the most depressing song that i have heard in ages, but i cant stop listning to it. Everytime i do it ends in tears. I have never felt heartbreak like this, so i don't know why it effects me so much. But it does.

"Goodbye My Lover" James Blunt

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
