I had another busy weekend! Let's start with
Friday
I swapped shifts and worked in the morning, and after work I walked across the bridge to Pyrmont and met Anna at her school. I got left in the staffroom for a while, and then after lunchtime ended, we went to Anna's class.
It's been a while since I've been around ANY kids, let alone like, 20 of them. They called me 'Miss Shaw #2' and I had forgotten how much touching and poking and moving and such that small children do. Like, get off me, stop TOUCHING, LOL.
Seriously though, they were totally cute! I told them about my upcoming italy trip (my sister wanted me to give them news) and they asked me relevant questions, such as - what's your favourite colour? how old are you? what's your favourite colour? favourite car? animal? etc.
I helped them with some numeracy and literacy and probably scarred them for life, haha! afterward, Anna and I went to Darling harbour for gin and tonic, followed by burgers at Hurricanes! epic!
They have these crazy flames behind a glass wall -
Then we went to bondi and watched 'the proposal' again, god that movie is just so funny, and RR is unbelievably gorgeous! seriously! his character is such a perfect catch - loves his job, (has a job!) good work ethic, gorgeous, dresses nicely, has rich, lovely parents, likes animals, loves to travel... what's not to like!
Saturday was boring, but then on Sunday mum and I went for a walk in the park, then i had a late breakfast with Anna in Newtown. Then we hired twilight and laughed at how badly acted the movie was. She's just started reading the books so she wanted to see the film. It's even worse on a small screen than it is at the movies! too funny.
The teapot at the place we had breakfast had these cool handles on the teastrainers that had letters - funnily enough mine was an R (for Rosie):
anyway. I'm off for dinner with Celia now, so ciao voxies!
Yay!
my parents returned from their trip to europe today!
Eyeroll though, their flight was massively delayed, which was so frustrating, we got to the airport at 6:30 am, but their flight was delayed until 10:05 am! what the!
anyway, I helped them unpack and heard about their trip, and they gave me a few little gifts:
Then the kilt/tartan skirt that they ordered should be showing up fairly shortly... so my waiting list is currently:
bunny tshirt
tourist shorts
pink usb drive that's taking a bajillion years to arrive
kilt/tartan skirt
It's good to have them back. Anna's come over to get her gifts and have dinner with us, which is nice, but I've been put in charge of collecting the take away pizza, so that's it from me!
ciao voxies!
My latest online purchases. I've convinced myself that I was justified in purchasing them because
I need them for my trip
I'm going to bankrupt myself with this justification, haha!
I got this tshirt from etsy.com, seller Deadworry: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5448347
I thought it would remind me of my baby Willum when I'm overseas. It was a bargain, only $32 including postage!
I also bought this pair of shorts from ebay. New, unworn, with tags, only $27.00 including postage.
The only thing I'm waiting on for delivery is these, plus my mini USB stick. I'm starting to think it will never turn up. I've been waiting a whole month so far. Sigh.
So I'm almost ready for work, planning to go in early to bank my travel grant cheque from uni, and get my phone sorted. I hear this loud clatter, followed by repetitive thumping. What on earth?
You know when you go out on friday night, which makes the whole weekend seem like a billion times longer?
well Jasmine had her farewell on friday, I met her after work for drinks at the hotel where she works. Then we met the girls at Crystal Bar, Martin place, and had pizza, cheese and a really nice L'Abruzzo red. Afterward we went to Martin Place bar for more cocktails and dancing to Mickey J. I can't believe the king of pop is really gone. If anyone ever asks me what I was doing the nightMichael Jackson died, I can tell them I was dancing to 'Blame it on the Boogie' in a bar in Martin Place. We got home around midnight, and then...
Saturday
Anna and I did a massive clean of the house - vaccuum, mopping, laundry, everything - so that my parents will come home to a really nice tidy house on wednesday. We went out for coffee at Centennial Park cafe, which has such a nice view, it's really been designed to make the best of the landscape.
Sunday
Anna and I had breakfast at Spicer Street Cafe in Woollahra, which was quite nice, I preferred her egg and bacon roll with cheddar and mayonaise to my organic porridge with strawberries, brown sugar and rhubarb, since mine was a bit too cold.
Afterward, I read the paper and had a nap, and then I met Celia for dinner.
We had thai, and OMG they have fortune cookies now! mine said:
a thrilling time is in your immediate future
woohoo! I hope they mean good thrilling, not bad thrilling!
I'm trying to set up my phone so that I can blog on the go. Exciting stuff!
So, I'm officially venti quattro anni. Today was fun. At work, I got strawberry cheesecake, a fluffy scarf and hat, an adorable pink card with a bunny and cupcakes on it, and an early mark.
Then my friends came over and Jasmine made us roast. As per usual, I'll list my haulings, accompanied by photos!
my grandma:
$200 cheque.
My parents:
my own tarot book to go with my mini-tarot deck.
3 piece jammies set
(they also paid for a lot of my mini laptop, and they're bringing me back a woolen skirt in my clan tartan from their trip to europe that probably cost them an arm and a leg )
my sister:
'woodsmoke' country road bag - I'm stoked about this one, I'm using it as hand luggage and it's almost an exact match for my suitcase
$20 bookstore voucher! yay! books for the plane!
My friends:
J
this gorgeous bag that she said was for 'school' in italy - it's so ME! and it fits my laptop and loads of books and rolls up pretty flat! perfect!
silicone, heatshaped cupcake moulds. Can't wait to try them out!
C (the florist)
these beautiful flowers
voucher for eyebrow, brazilian and underarm wax! I told her I needed/wanted these before I leave for europe
pyjamas with cupcakes on
My work:
matching scarf and hat set. They're really fuzzy/warm!
That's it from me! night from your newly mid 20's blogger! ciao voxies!
Tonight is my birthday eve. I'm going to sit in with a glass of wine, watch Miss Marple on the ABC and luxuriate in my last night of 'early twenties' ness.
Last night was lovely, we had dinner at the Westin Restaurant, Mosaic - it was probably more suited to dinner with my parents and my sister, as it was really quite expensive, although we did enjoy ourselves, the decor there is stunning.
It's a heritage building, and they've put a roof over what would have been an outdoor piazza, so you feel like you're outside, and the original walls look like external walls, but you're inside.
Afterward we went shopping at Broadway. I bought another sheer bra by Freya - I thought it would be good to have a few that will dry quickly.
Anyway. I'm watching Miss Marple - Pocket full of Rye now, so night night voxies!
Yay! I'm going out!

Willum is too funny. I'm sitting on the floor, watching Kate and Leopold (love that movie) - with a cup of decaf and some ginger biscuits, and Willum hops over, and eats my ginger biscuit! I was like, what the?! since when do rabbits like ginger.
I think every friday should have some old fashioned romance, don't you?
