OMG! CTC - 3 days to go!!! [and lots of goss!]
OMG. Woah. I have had a hell of a crazy week! let me tell you aaaall about it!
So. Where were we up to? Oh yeah. No photos of my novelty earrings.... but I did get a shot of all the presents I brought home from work today!
We were really really lucky actually! My company bought us each a hamper, my boss bought me a present, and then one of the companies we organise mail for got a bottle of wine, and when I called to let them know they said it was a colleague who was no longer there, and that we could keep it! so yay! free bottle of wine!
Then my boss gave me some things that she bought in Cambodia & vietnam - that gorgeous scarf you can see there, it's beautiful! and, that black bag with the lucky coins attached to it... aaand a voucher to use at a hair place (I wanted to get my hair done in the new year anyway, so I was excited!)
And we also got a present from our company - a hamper! this is what it had inside: some fruit jellies, some salted peanuts, a little tiny christmas pudding, a box of chocolates, a mini bottle of wine, some of those traditional ginger biscuits that Alison loves and a miniature xmas cake! so cute!
As well as that, at the Christmas party, we had to buy a $10.00 gift. I got a vanilla scented candle (which smells really good actually! I'm burning it right now!) and some chocolates.
So all in all, I got away with some really nice gifts!
So that was all at the christmas party! and then afterward I went out with Matalena, Rosie, and Rosie's friend from PNG. I got home around 1:30 after going home on the BUS! I've never been home that late by myself. It was one of the last buses going, and SO many people got pulled off it for not paying the right amount!
Anyway. So I was hungover and tired on saturday, and I thought, great. I have to do this aaaaall again tonight. So I drove out to Charlie's house, and alison was supposed to already be there. But she was getting a lift with Lisa and Rob, and Rob was late, so they were stuck at Lisa's house waiting for him.
So Charlie and I chatted to his mum for a bit and then went and picked up Kari and his brother on our way to the Albion in Parramatta.
And in the car, they asked if I was single, and then argued about who had hotter friends and which I'd pick, and I was like, uhhh... do I get a choice?
So when we arrived there are a huge heap of guys that they've been chatting about in the car, everyone is pretty much well over 5 foot 7, so at least a few inches on my 5 foot 5, men only, talking about cricket. Greaaat. I had no idea what was going on.
And then Alison and Lisa arrive, and they are normally taller than me anyway, but because I cut my feet to ribbons on friday night, I was wearing flats, and they're both wearing killer heels, so I'm looking tiny compared to them. And it was sooo loud in this place that everyone had to bend down to hear me, which made me feel like a child, haha!
One of Kari's friends was like 6 foot 4! so I'm trying to talk to him, and I had to full launch myself onto my tiptoes and grip his arm so I could reach, since you really had to scream into each other's ears to be heard.
We all had a lot to drink. We got back to Charlie's at around 2:30am I think? god I am feeling sick just thinking about it. Woke up the next day, and realised that I didn't have my wallet. Great.
So, we rang the place, called Charlie's friends who'd given us a lift home etc etc...
no luck.
Then yesterday night, after dinner with the girls, sobbing about how I had $150 in cash in that wallet and OMG what about my personalised starbucks card....
Celia was driving us all over to Jasmine's bf's house to drop her off, and video ezy called. I very rarely answer a call if I don't recognise the number but I thought it just might be someone else. So I'm thinking, I don't have any videos out?
AND!!! they were calling to say that the people from the Albion got their number from my video store card! THEY HAD MY WALLET!! I called the guy an angel and he laughed, and then I called the albion and also called the guy on the phone there an angel, and he called me the luckiest woman in sydney, (although secretly I think just the stupidest!)
so this morning I drove all the way out to Parramatta and picked it up. AND! It had the $150 inside! whoever handed it in or found it has got to be OMG super honest. I know they probably won't ever read this... BUT OMG THANKYOU!!!!
(phew this is long! almost done!) so yeah. Then work today, brought all those presents home. And! I have a date tomorrow. I will see how things go and if they work out I will spill the proverbial beans :D wish me luck!
buonanotte voxies!
