As promised here's the new doodle! Like a typical Aries, I am always doing things non-stop. Problem with that is once I get to
a point when I can't get go anymore, I go into crash mode and
get sick....which basically means all I want to do is sleep, and eat.

Ok I did go to the grocery store, and the florist, but that's because my biggest pet peeve is when my refrigerator is empty and there are no flowers in the vases.
Thank God my friends finally came into town and are not giving me a chance to think that I'm tired or sick, largely due to the fact that we're all going on a weekend getaway.

The week in Doha was very bazaar. I guess there was a sand storm going on and the first few days we were playing in Moc50 winds. What is it with me and the storms these last couple months?
Between the storms in Israel and Doha, I could seriously pitch my own show to the weather channel. Anyways the good thing is that I found a way to play through it and found a way to win, which is the most important thing I guess. Let me just mention that the noise of the motorcycles during the ceremony scared the living crap out of me....I hope they showed my reaction when I saw them coming out.... it was really priceless.

Because I have traveled a numerous amount of miles this year to say the least, I have noticed a few interesting things. You know how during overseas flights, you have this flight path tv station that tells you where you're going, etc. The only real thing I get from that is 'time to destination', which you always fear is another 10 hours.
But things like outside temperature (um who cares what the temperature is outside when you're forty thousand feet above the ground!), time at present position (so if you're over Alaska it tells you the local time there?), or even how far above the ground you are (let's face it even if we're at 10,000 ft above the ground, instead of the normal 35,000, why would I want to know that we're about to crash?) are pretty useless stats if you ask me.

Have you ever noticed how macho immigration officers seem to be? Instead of the How are you today, they throw in a 'where are you coming from and why were you there' type of sentence and give you that don't mess with me look. Well in the last few months I have had the funniest experiences with them. When we were coming back from Israel, the officer looks at me and goes 'Giiiirl you know they have a direct flight from Australia these days. No need to stop in Israel next time!'.

Yesterday the gentleman asked me if I won that tournament in Doha and after I said yes he asked me where the prize was. I said I actually don't know, I think they're sending it to my house. He goes 'no no darling I mean the check. How much did you receive for winning that one?'. After I proceeded to tell him the amount he says "Man, I got the wrong job!" It was so funny!!

Oh I wanted to tell you about someone really cool I met ...I went to this private pre-Grammy party before I left to Doha and got a chance to see some really interesting things to say the least hahaha. But the cutest girl I met was the singer Sia.

I absolutely love her music and when she introduced herself and said my name is Sia, I almost started singing her song. She was so humble and bubbly....I guess outgoing is the right word....ah anyways I was very excited!   

Quote of the week is from the movie Anger Management..... "sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin". I have been using it quite a lot!

I am really excited about this week.... it's finally Camilla's movie premier (10,000BC) and I can't wait to go and support her. Highly recommend to go see it on opening weekend!!                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                               
And of course after a few days off, I will start training for a good week or so before I head to Palm Springs. Sooo with that will leave you to it!
