Jet planes again

Leave for Thailand tomorrow. Am kind of looking forward to it and kind of apprehensive! But it should be fun :)

I am looking forward to home and yet a little sad that it's all coming to an end and I'll have to go to work again. Starting a new job, looking for a new home and battling with the ever-rising price of petrol! I guess then I'll feel like it's really 2008. Right now every thing feels a little suspended in time.

I miss my friends. And cheap wine. Haha.

Life is crazy

Yet another website has been mysteriously blocked at work. If they keep this up I will have nowhere left to surf!!

This week = incredibly busy. But mainly with social rather than non-social engagements. Last night was our big final flat tea. We went to Lonestar - the first time we'd been to the new one that has taken the place of Cobb and Co in Riccarton. There was a bit of a wait - but we had drinkies at the bar to tide us over. PLUS we all got some super good news whilst waiting so it was not all in vain - one of our really good friends is ENGAGED!!!!

Awesome eh? Another wedding to look forward too! And I'm just super-excited/happy for them because they are awesome and he is an awesome, awesome guy! YAY!!!

Anyway...food was really really good and there was WAY too much of it. AND we had presents. Well, me and Janina did because it is our birthday week. Jem, Jen and Trace got me this awesome retro T-shirt with Rainbow on it AND a really cool-looking bottle of wine that is called "Cat Pee on a Gooseberry Bush" and it is FUNKY. Plus the proceeds go to the SPCA so that's good! Don't know how the wine tastes as yet but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Anyway, out again tonight - so Thursday will be my first night in ALL week. And I will be spending it packing. Yay...the only good thing is that according to my countdown I only have 9 working days (not including today) left to go for this year!!! Of course I have to squeeze two weddings, a work do and party in the park in between all those work days so I'm pretty sure I'll keep busy!!!

Busy, busy...

Squeee!

I'm so excited about the weekend. Basically, the wedding that will henceforth by known as "the wedding of the year" - to me at least - is happening TOMORROW!!!!

YAY!!!!!!

(I'd say "wedding of the century" but I hope to get married sometime this century so I'd like that to be my wedding of the century.)

It's an excuse to dress up, look pretty and party the night away. That and I'm insanely, insanely happy for the happy couple!! It's going to be so awesome and I already know that I'm going to cry. I've listened to the "walking down the aisle song" many, many times these last couple of weeks.

Besides, it's not often that two people that you've known for years and years and years get married. Awesome.

Isaac has basically finished exams. He has one more a week from tomorrow. It's nice having him around again, I was missing him. And also missing someone to drive me around.

I am a horrible girlfriend :)

Also...am very happy as igoogle has finally updated with new themes! Yay, I now have little raccoons with leafblowers on my page.

Work has been hectic and crazy and I wish so badly that I could quit sometimes! But no, all that will happen next year (fingers crossed!) meanwhile, the time in which we leave for the far corners of the globe - and much warmer weather! - draws ever nearer. I can't wait. I need a holiday of more than a couple of days in which I can sleep in.

Of course this means a lot of packing as we also have to move in approx three weeks. I have packed all my winter bedding into boxes. This is so far my only concession to moving. But then, I haven't really had time to do anything else!

And now am waiting and waiting for Jem to get home so I can drop him off at the panelbeater....
