the toes knows

Friday night was a work social event that involved baring my feet. I decided on Friday morning that my feet were really not worthy enough to be paraded around and needed a pedicure. So i quickly and easily convinced Cat-man-do to come with me. We ditched the gym! but our feet definitely looked fab

narrow it down


so I had another busy weekend - the highlight of which might just have been Saturday night when I went out with Leesy J and Jojo. I looked forward to our dinner alllllllllllllllllllll week. We went to Meccah Bar which was delicious and then we went to Freestyle for dessert. This was the menu. I had it narrowed down to 6 choices from this menu. I often have this problem and just have to be forced to lock it in. I often ask the waiter/ess for help. Which of course I did. I asked her " Should I go with the Baked Lemon and Lime cheesecake or the apple raspberry crumble"

She said " umm well one of them is hot and one of them is cold"

ummmmmmmmmmm thanks for that.

I went with the cold option.

More weekend stuff


SO Saturday was a busy, busy day. I had not one, but two social gatherings to attend - both of which required "dressing up' to some element. The first was a kitchen tea and you had to dress like you were going to the races. The second was a birthday party with the theme of "beauty and Geeks". I obviously had to wear the same outfit to both - there wasn't time for a change. I had fun at both venues. This is me at the beauty and gees birthday party with my aunty Ivy.

a relaxing Sunday


at home for the most part. Once I had been to the gym, done a few odd jobs, some washing, been to Bunnings, done the groceries, had a chat with Shirl - I came home and put my feet up and caught up on some weekly viewing. If you want to know what I did on Friday night - check out this link .

a week late

but better than never. I have tried several times this week to upload this collage of my birthday dinner last Saturday night and have had nothing but trouble. Some interesting things from the night
1. Ortiga the restaurant is great
2. I have great friends
3. I ate whole prawns - eyes and all
4. I was wearing my fancy Christian Loubiton shoes that Dad bought me at Saks
5. Jody was wearing her fancy D & G shoes that Dad bought her at Saks
6. The hairdresser actually sewed my hair into place with needle and thread. I am not even kidding
7. In order to make my Traner happy one of the cocktails I had was called Boozy Lemonade and it had egg white on the top of it.
8. We thought the asparagus salad was a little strange looking

Lucky Girl


It was my Birthday yesterday - yes I know another year older another year wiser! I thought I would highlight my present stash. I did very well for an ol girl! I made my sister take a photo with each single birthday item. Of course she obliged because it was my birthday!

I will have photos from my weekend celebrations to post later too. Is it still ok to be having a BIRTHDAY WEEK?

I loved all of my pressies - every single one of them.

so another week

has whizzed by. How does that happen? Things at work have been crazy busy busy for me for some reason this week - I have had a meeting every single day, which has meant i get to work earlier and stay later just to get all of my normal stuff done. SHEESH! I have also been working out at the gym twice a day most days and well literally this is the first time I have been on the computer at home since Monday. What is with that???

I also somehow found the time to go and see...

I really liked it. Anyway now i must go because I am running late for work and another meeting I have this morning.

Also Birthday celebrations start this weekend :)

snow...bunny???

Time for some more holiday snaps. Yes that is me standing in the snow in NYC! This was the one and only day that it snowed - but there sure was heaps of it! I had organised to traipse to the laundromat first thing in the morning. So I got up when everyone else was asleep, took my bag of quarters and everyone's washing and headed out. The laundromat was run by a very strict person who watched everyone like a hawk. I had planned on getting a hot drink read a book etc, but that was not going to happen because she shooed me out. I went back to our unit - collected my sister and made her come out for breakfast with me - and of course take a photo.

gee whizz that was a long boring story with no funny punch line. seriously...sheesh

it's raining...


again...and again...and again.


The little town that I used to live in has been on the news because it is flooding. SO of course I had to dig out some old photos of when it flooded when I was there. This is 1995 - it wasn't a major flood like there was in 1990 and then again in 1997 (which I did have to evacuate my house for) but still there was a lot of water in my front yard!

I am pretty sure that I bought this dress from PALL MALL! and please ignore the hideous shoes - what was I thinking?

sometimes

this is why it is so difficult to do anything on the computer. If she isn't walking across the keyboard she is laying down right in the most difficult spot ever. Sometimes actually ON the keyboard and you have to try and maneuver around her. LITERALLY! And then she will get all huffy and hissy and well then it is over - you have to pack up and do something else, because everyone knows that a hissing cat is always going to be the winner. I like my eyes!
