Except now? It's actually SATURDAY. Whoops. I'm so sorry for the lateness! I've totally been a slave to an onslaught of excessive schedule madness this week, but the good news? It's allllllllllll almost over, and calmer days are on their way, yippee! And on that delicious little note, allow me to present some of the very finest things that I've cherished this week..
x Google Reader - Oh Google Reader, how did I ever manage to live without you?! Actually, don't answer that, because I remember. I'd bookmark half of my favourite blogs to read, and then painstakingly try and commit the rest to memory, which would often result in much trawling through the internet to try and find most of them again later because of course, I couldn't remember what they were.. and then I'd wonder where large portions of evenings had gone. Productivity FAIL. Well! Not anymore! With this nifty little device, I can now instantly subscribe to whichever excellent page takes my fancy, and know whenever it's updated, too. Ah. So THAT would be why everyone's been singing its praises for so long..
x Ice-Cream Rendezvous - When the weather is hot hot hot (and believe me, in Australia, it has been HOT!), naturally, the only logical course of action is to spend the afternoon eating ice-cream, and to base all social plans around the acquisition of ice-cream! Seriously, when it's 40 degrees here, what else is a girl to do?!
x Wardrobe Design - With only four weeks to go until we move into our new apartment, one of my favourite tasks of late has been planning the building of possibly one of THE most important aspects of any home, the WARDROBE! Our bedroom doesn't currently possess one, which is something that I initially viewed as a minor setback, but have now come to appreciate the infinite possibilities that it presents.. which is namely, the ability to create something from scratch! It's really exciting to pore over numerous catalogues, gathering ideas of exactly what I want.. only in my wildest dreams have I ever imagined that I would be able to design my own set-up, so I can't wait to begin shopping for it!
x The Simple Life - Okay, so it's definitely NOT a recent television development, but oh, I love it so much! Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are simultaneously adorable and hilarious in it, and it makes me so happy. I recently bought a stack of the series' DVDs on Ebay, and curling into bed while watching it as I drift off to Slumber Ville is such a very, VERY wonderful activity!
x Other Little Things - Trying banana bread flavoured beer (iiiiiiinteresting!); air-conditioning; fresh nectarines; long, lovely e-mails; wide-brimmed hats; second-hand bookstores; knowing that there is only a WEEK left of my current full-time college studies, and that soon I can disembark onto new adventures!; sitting cross-legged; appreciating the power of visualisation; familiar expressions; photo booths; smiling at everyone; religiously applying cocoa butter moisturiser every single night before bed (so that I wake up smelling like a miniature chocolate factory, teehee!); and reassuring conversations with my mother.

Tell me! What are YOU loving this week?
