Retail therapy

OK so we didn't get to the BIG ticket stuff I thought we would but hey we did some serious retail therapy ;)

So I spent all last night dragging, dropping, sorting, deleting and saving thousands of photos. Honestly it's such a relief it have this little lump of piece of mind. It's something we've been meaning to do for AGES and now I have a whole terrabyte to play with! Yay!

Also got the Amos Lee CD I was after and some Sophie Ellis-Bextor for $9.98 each! Rad.

And of course... frappicino...
Hahahha how do you know when a problem becomes a real problem ;)

CAN'T stop listening to this song!!!
Getting the CD asap... (update - just grabbed it on the way home... I'm so in love).

I figured I deserved it after today... three words... Back... To... School...

Good lord it just SO full on the week before school!

I am off to redo my scrap room... I know I know... I said I was going to share when I moved to the new room but I just haven't been happy with it... I will share (fingerss crosed) after this next major sort out.

I'm normal and have the test results to prove it

From the edge of the grave...
Well not so much.. but yet another week of being bed and sometimes lounge floor, ridden.
I finally convinced the Dr to get me n for a blood test... and guess what..
NOTHING! Zip... I'm NORMAL! Who would have known.
Don't get me wrong - it's not like I wanted something to be really wrong... just something small... some easy fix answer for why I am always this way. *sigh*

Oh well at least I am on the other side of this round... and after my 3rd trip to the pharmacy I decided Body Shop mango body wash was in order. Yummo.

I have tried to scrap over the last week and a half... I did manage to pull out a challenge layout from the forum at SBO and another one inspired by all the Audrey films I've been watching... my dream of owning a vespa...

I love Audrey and loving that a lot of her films are in Paris... my fav city :) If you can get your mitts on one on DVD settle in one night for some Audrey love. Mike brought me the box set for Christmas :) lucky.

We have ourselves a 3 day weekend here and with me being crook we have nothing planned at all. Although I am excited for today... hitting the Tron and maybe just maybe doing some really grownup shopping. One up side to all the doom and gloom (which I am SO sick of by the way) is that a lot of places are rocking out interest free deals so we might just take them up and get ourselves some new gears :) and Chocolate Chip Frappicino... ah how I've missed you...

Yes

Saw the movie...

Loving the book...




and loving her...

She is Zooey Deschanel... she stars in the movie and she is stylie and she is in a group called band She and Him... I added a song to the playlist ;)

Busy stuff

I've been busy
Really busy...

I had a visit from my biological brother and his wife... it was rad. It's so weird how much you can see yourself in someone that you didn't grow up with at all.

And at work it's the busiest time of the year for me... Back to School... whew.

So I am loving having something nice and relaxing to do when I get home... watching Roman Holiday and scrapping with the new Cosmo Cricket Chemistry range from SBO...

All good things :)

Anyone want a bargin

So...
I've had a play with the Slice...
but I'm just not getting into it *sigh*
Don't get me wrong it's an AWESOME machine... I am honestly impressed with it... I guess I just don't see me using it long term... doesn't really suit my rip it/paint it/masking tape style :)
I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm selling it on Trade Me and with my exhausted hospital brain I set the reserve wrong... my stupidity, your gain :)

Crashing into 2009

Sorry if you read both our blogs but it's just too long winded to type twice :)

So it was all going according to plan and then went a bit wrong at the end.We both had to work new years eve but I’d packed the car all ready to hit the road straight away. It took us 2.5 hours to get to Wenderholm, a reserve just up past Waiwera (Auckland). We got the tent up and settled in with Dan, Ash and their friends and a few drinks and drinking games.Then the rain came.We were all huddled under a gazebo that we couldn’t fit under so were hanging out the sides with umbrellas. once we all decided to turn in everyone seemed to find a leak in their tents… the rain was just too heavy. Mike grabbed the spade and dug a small trench outside our door to stop the water coming in too far (everyone had laughed when we turned up with a spade!).
By morning the sun was BEATING down… crazy hot. We headed for the beach and set up under the pohutakawas with books and games. It was an amazingly chilll day… like a real holiday should be. Mike and Dan went for a swim… and apparently that’s were it went wrong… I didn’t find out til later.After dinner Mike told me… he heart had gone into AF when he was in the water. This is only 7 hours later… naughty boy.So we jump in the car and hit the traffic jam into the city. We were in Emergency Care til 3.30am when the charge nurse tried to tell me I had to leave… and go where at 3.30am… home? Sleep in the car? Grrr… But the ward staff were lovely. They let me stay and even gave me a pillow. But a chair is never a bed and I got about 30 minutes sleep once I gave up and hit the tv room. Because Mike had eaten we had to wait. At 11.30 yesterday morning Mike was jump started again and is happily back in rhythm. I often think he has it easier… he at least gets to got to sleep while I pace the halls outside waiting for news.It was the same story as all the times before, just a different setting. We are getting a great collection of discharge papers from hospitals around the world now.That was our new years… hoping yours was less eventful than ours. Although having sat in an emergency room for 5 hours you realise just how much worse we could have it. Doesn’t stop it being scary though.
