Okay, so yesterday I went for my bra fitting, which was kind of fun! for ages now, I've been wearing the wrong size, since mine is just too difficult to get, not to mention, usually expensive and ugly!
I ended up buying 3 bras - one sports bra, one in white, and a chocolate brown. I've ordered another in a peachy colour too.
But, get this. I could not believe my ears when the woman had finished measuring me. 8FF. Like, woah, joke-sizing much?!
Anyway, then after work I met up with W. We went to the Red Oak Brewery and had this amazing dinner... everything was really delicious. I got the menus off the website!
We started by sharing this cheese tasting board -
Ricotta and grated lemon souffle Kolsch
Woodside brie with quince paste and crispbread wafer Organic Hefeweizen
Milawa blue cheese with oatmeal biscuit and drizzled with honey wee Heavy Ale
Blue Cow cheddar with raisin and almond compote Special Strong Bitter
Then I had this as a main Bangalow Pork, Apple and Honey Ale Sausages on a Dijon mustard and thyme mash potato with a wee Heavy Ale jus (served with a complimentary beer) Organic Pale Ale and for dessert - a selection made daily from Redoak beers and fruits There were 3 in a serve - one cinnamon and honey ale flavoured scoop, one scoop of some type of pineapple and something, and the best one - their raspberry based beer with fresh raspberries! yummy! W had some kind of angus steak followed by chocolate and ginger pudding. Afterward we had a walk around Darling Harbour and sat on a bench for a while talking... there were these rats under the bench next to ours! they were really cute! It was a really nice evening, and I got in fairly late since we got carried away chatting and things. Anyway, I'm meeting Alicus tomorrow morning and then tomorrow night I'm going to W's house to watch Transformers on dvd. I was so annoyed the other day, the video store didn't have a single copy, for rent or to buy! and it's not sectioned as a full movie on youtube either, so I'm looking forward to it.
So my sister went to Melbourne for a few days on a holiday, and she brought us gifts back, haha!
She went to see the fairy penguins at Philip Island, and before she left, I suggested that she steal me one and bring it home as a pet.
Well.. she bought me this, haha, it's too hilarious!
it's a pencil case! and inside, it had a bag of chocolate!
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going for a specialist bra fitting, I'm so excited! hopefully I can find something really pretty and sexy! Anyway, that's it from me!
This week is going to be sooo massive! My boss is leaving for Vietnam next weekend, and we have heaps of things crammed into her last week! My co-worker's birthday, a guest speaker, massages and book club! then I'm also collecting the recording device I need for my master's project from the Museum tomorrow morning, and I really want a meeting with my boss to go over how we're doing things while she's away!
I finished writing in the travelling journal though, so I should be able to get it sent off soon - here's Willum playing in one of the ribbons from mum's scrapbooking store while I was writing in it:
I actually had a pretty busy weekend!
Friday
I picked up Mamma Mia as an ex-rental and a new copy of Chocolat for hardly anything. I watched chocolat friday night and Mamma Mia on Saturday night. (No, I did not use the singalong feature. Thankyouverymuch! LOL)
Saturday
I cleaned my room in the morning and in the afternoon I met up with Anna. We took photos for the journal and then we went to tiffany's. She'd always wanted to see the tiffany store so we looked at all the gorgeous and expensive things there.
After that we went to Myer so I could exchange my 6 empty mac packages for a free lipstick for their Back to MAC promotion. I decided that the only thing I haven't really got is Matte colour, and I also don't have a bright red, so I bought Ruby Woo, which is aparently Gwen Stefani's favourite colour. It's really pretty but obviously being matte and being so bright you have to use a lip liner and be careful when you apply it or it makes your lips look wonky. I used it quite lightly and then put pink gloss over it, so it didn't look too over the top! While we were waiting for someone to be free to serve us at the mac counter we went to the Bloom counter, and the makeup artist tried their mineral products on us. I really liked the result so I bought the mineral powder in light.
I took a picture of my makeup so you can see how it looks on. I think that the mineral powder really does look lovely in photos, and it lasted ALL NIGHT tonight, I was really impressed! it feels like you aren't wearing any makeup. As you can see, the lipstick really doesn't look all that dark on me as compared to how dark it COULD look:
What else? I went swimming today! my thighs were killing me after I finished my 20 minutes! Which is good, because running seems to impact on my knees and calves a lot more, and it's my thighs I want to work on. I was horrified to learn I've gone up another cup size, which means I officially have the kind of bras that guys joke about and people can fit their heads into. An F. An F for fail, an F for fucking going to lose some weight until I fit into goddamn regular bras! Grumble.
Soooo, yes. That's the plan. Hopefully I can exercise maybe tuesday? I really need to do more than just one day a week. I thought I'd mix it up, a bit of running, some swimming, and then some ab exercises in the sauna after my swim, LOL
