Rain...

Rain rain go away come again another day...

It is pouring down outside. It makes me not want to be at work but to be home in bed. Lucky it's thursday and there's only friday to go! What's weird was that it was so warm yesterday, verging on HOT. And I'm exceptionally cold today.

Brrr...

Stuff tells me that it's 9 degrees outside. It makes me cold just thinking about it!

Today is going reasonably slow. I suppose it's the last day of the month though. On the upside, I'm getting a lot of reading done. I bought Eragon with the book voucher my brother got me for my birthday and I'm really getting into it now :)

I'm looking forward to the movie coming out now too. It doesn't look half bad!

So much food at work today because we're celebrating birthdays!! Uggh...I'll start feeling sick soon. Meanwhile I'm praising my stroke of genius for buying/bringing S&V chips and dip :)

Birthdays!

Was a weekend of birthdays :) Jen's 21st on the Saturday night was great fun and the food was SO good. Seriously. It was tapas and I ate SO MUCH. It was fantastic!! Anyway, have lots of photos from the "do":

Jen and I...I'm a little rosy-cheeked, I know! :P

Flat photo!

Jan and I and the manniquin! Lol.

Our table before the messy eating began!

The Hornby Crew

All the girls!

Much fun and hilarity was had. And we even managed to remain quite sober for it all. (Probably cuz we had to pay for drinks!) But it was a great excuse to dress up - and my new dress from Aussie even arrived in time - which was grand because I could dress up in new things. (I like new things...)

Anyway, was also my birthday on Sunday. Which is not something I frequently advertise. I am now another year older. Lol. But it was all in all a good day. Picked the boy up from the airport at a ridiculously early time and went back to bed. Then we went for lunch and the Wineshed. Which is REALLY pretty and the food was fantastic!

THEN the flatmates threw me a psuedo-surprise birthday party. Psuedo surprise because I knew that they had something planned. But very sweet of them nonetheless.

Anyway, was LOTS of fun, AND I had the day off work yesterday and I got my hair done! Yay. So I feel all pretty and shiny now. That and work's going quick. Yay.

Agrh.

And did I mention that I was insecure???

I am a terrible, terrible person :P

I also want to go home. Hurry up 5.30!!!

Sydney!

We're going to Sydney!!!!!!!!!

Ticket cost: $608 - for two people
(includes airline taxes, fuel surcharge ect)

All we need to pay on top of that is $25pp departure tax!

That's $304 per person!!!!!

I'm so excited. It's only for four days - but it's still so exciting!!! Okay, it's also not till January. But it's still so exciting!!!

I haven't left the country for a whole year! (Almost.) Actually, as of this weekend, it'll be exactly a year since I was last in Sydney. For a day. Yep, 24 hour stopover. Lol.

Only, this time it'll be so much better because the boy is coming AND we're flying Emerites. (I hear they have hot towels...)

Now, all we need to do is sort out accomodation...lol

Argh.

My laptop has totally died on me.

At a completely inconvinient time.

I hate it.

Especially since I was supposed to bring to work today to work on some design stuff. Which I was REALLY looking forward to seeing as how it'd mean that I'd have at LEAST an hour and a half doing nothing on phones. NOTHING.

I am not amused with it at all!

Grrr....the screen completely died on me. Everytime I turn it on it starts up and then wobbles majorly like there's HUGE interference. Then it completely fades to white. It's the most pain in the ass thing ever.

So annoyed right now!!!

New game!

We've totally found a fantastic new game to play at work. Unfortunately we have to challenge each other and we're on calls. So it's all a little biased.

It's awesome. It's like online boggle :)

Today is going quickly thanks to it!!!

Yay. Also, blogger beta is not blocked at work!!! YAY!

Busy busy busy

It's been awhile since I updated. Probably because this time of year is strangely busy. It all seems to go so fast. We've just had our end of year leaders retreat for youth group. Now THAT'S random as it doesn't seem like all that long ago it was start of year retreat.

It was fun, being up in Hamner for the long weekend. We had good times despite the sandfly bites. I seriously got bit on my ass!!! (You cannot even begin to comprehend how annoying that is!!)

It was really good as well. Muz and Janice came out for a day and we had a real significant time with them talking about struggles, things we appreciated about each other and just dealing to some of the problems we have been having.

I sat and talked to Rob yesterday arvo and just cried and cried and cried. Yes, I am SUCH a girl. Lol. But it was really good. It was like I met with God and finally, finally heard him say "I love you" and "You're worth it." Which is something I hadn't heard in awhile. I think I've been internalising things for too long!!! So I feel a lot better about tuesday nights and maybe I can handle it now! At least till the end of the year and then that era is over for me. For now. :)

It was also real cool cuz we appreciated Ness for doing youth work for 15 years. 15!!!! Crazy, eh??? I had such an "interesting" time putting together the video. To the point of wanting to throw my laptop out the window. But it all worked in the end. Yay! I'm actually quite proud of it. The funniest part being the bloopers. *wink*

Anyway, I'm hungry so it definately feels like breakfast (or at least coffee) time!!

You have no idea how this makes me feel. It's about time.

She must have been insane in the first place!!!!!

x _ x

*ded*

I'm so tired lately. It's incredible. Work's been pretty busy recently and all sorts of things have been happening. Crazy times.

Youth group was exhausting tonight and we didn't even do much. I actually honestly can't wait for term to end!!!! (Which is terrible but true!!)

Hamner trip this weekend. SO not looking forward to giving up another weekend so soon. But because of exams it might be small numbers anyway. Hopefully...

FINALLY talked to Tim today about working part-time. We shall see how I go...

Mmmm...

We have new coffee...

It's Robert Harris Hazelnut Dream. It is SO good.

Also...this amuses me no end because it's so cute!!! Lol
Speaking of cookies...I might get off my ass and do some baking today. But only AFTER pilates :) I'm gonna WORK that powerhouse!!!
