So I've been pretty busy on my weekends lately, but have had at least 1 quiet night which has been good. Last weekend Ness and I did our thing Friday night and then I met her at Southland on Saturday to see The Help - which was AWESOME by the way...great cast, great writing! -but really long...not in a dragging way though! We also bought Brett's birthday pressie! A collection of fun silly stuff!
Last week I was pretty busy after work hours too. I went out to dinner with Jacinta after work on Wednesday in Glen Waverley. Picked her up at her place, and then went to Airstream at Century City. The food was good, the service was so so. Went back to her place after for some tv and ice-cream cake. I also got some advice on media players from her bro, since we had just been talking about them.
Friday night I had the place to myself. It was awesome! I had a normal dinner, and then choc ripple cake which I'd made the night before for dessert! I finished off Parenthood season 1, organised my hard drive and did some washing seeing as I would be busy all weekend.
Saturday Mum and Nicole were up and out before I was out of bed! I was at Ness' by 1pm too! We finished off Bones - I am now up to date, and was not quite prepared for that ending! SHOCKING...and also poor Mr Nigel Murray!
Kay and Nick came later and we went out for Chinese -it was yummy! Ness and I shared our meals so we had variety. Then we decided to go to Stacks for dessert, Ness and I shared choc fudge crepes, a lighter option. Best of all we didn't feel sick by the end of night from too much food :P
Ness and I watched the pilot for The New Girl - Zooey Deschanel's show before bed. It doesn't look great, but I won't write it off just yet.
Sunday morning we walked the pooches and then got ready for the theatre! We picked the Sunday matinee because back when we bought the tickets we thought it was the final show in Melb....we were wrong. We picked up Brett on the way and gave him his pressie. We were listening to Wicked on the way in honor of the last performance in Australia that was happening last night in Perth. Before the show we got drinks and snacks at the little cafe next door to the Comedy Theatre. Our seats were good, but unfortunately we had the understudy for Drew...he wasn't very good...even though I didn't really notice until intermission that it wasn't Justin....but I did feel something was off. I think I was thrown off by the fact that I wasn't sure if Francine Cain was playing Regina or not...she was. I like that the cast have taken a few creative liberties by this point...it makes it a little more fun. I like noticing things that were different. -Just booked more tickets for October, since they are offering cheap ones. We also have tickets for the official final performance in Melb...its gonna be AWESOME and CRAZY!
Since it was a matinee, we skipped the stage door and headed home. I got my stuff together and was home around 7:30pm. I watched a rather crappy ep of SNL and got organised for work.
Today work just dragged, I was unfocused and tired. I was better after some lunch though.
Ness is off on her trip tomorrow, so its going to be an interesting 3 weeks without speaking to her...and I might actually be able to get through my own dvds on the weekends. -Also my aim is to have finished Tina Fey's book by the time she gets back!

Busy Busy Busy...and Exhausted
So I've been pretty go go go non-stop lately. Last weekend I worked my butt off at my grandparent's house. We were cleaning out the garage and house because it has been sold. Saturday it was me, Mum, Geoff, Colleen, Marg, Neil, Tracey and Jay. We did a great job of getting rid of stuff into a skip. We took a little trip to Maccas for lunch...which was an adventure. Ordering for everyone was kinda problematic, and the whole experience was weird.
That night I went to Kay and Nick's...once I got there, after being stuck in Springvale rd waiting to move through a police booze bus line. -They didn't even test me!
We hate fancy pizza and tried to watch some some Gilbert and Sullivan...but as usual we got distracted after a while. We looked at all Brett and Sarah's trip pics, it was cool to see how some things had changed since I went.
Last week was a general work week for me. Thursday night I had the place to my self cause everyone else went out. It was good though, cause I got to watch some tv outside of my room.
Friday night I went straight to Vanessa's again after work. This time I tried Springvale rd instead of Westall, but I think it took longer, so I'll stick to the regular way.
Saturday I tried to sleep in, but I only was able to sleep till 9 or something. I had the place to myself after I dropped Scott at his footy in Box Hill (after taking him to the ATM first). I did 3 loads of washing, clothes and sheets - that kept me busy. In between that I watched 2 Alias commentaries...which I had forgotten were good cast ones. I also watched an ep of Parenthood. All this before getting ready to go to Vicky's that night. The night did not start out well...I stopped to buy Petrol and got out of the car and realized I was on the wrong side...which is strange and stupid seeing as I only ever buy petrol for THAT car.
THEN I got on the freeway and it kept going and going and going...and it got a little scary once Eastlink came up...anyways I found the right exit and then it got worse once I was off the freeway...I took turns in the wrong places, thought I was going the wrong direction when I was wasn't....but had my map and I got there in the end. I passed way too much country on my way...I'm a city girl...or at least an inner suburbs girl...I don't do paddocks! lol
Anyways..it was a fun night. We made yummy pizzas, and Vicky made nummy cupcakes. We watched Aladdin of all things....its hard for us all to agree on something, so if we find something...we take it!
After that, Kay, Brett, Ness and I went around the corner (not quite literally) to Krispy Kreme. The lady let us have our donuts for free -which was awesome!!! After Vicky's thing finished I ended up going to Ness' to watch more Bones, since Vicky's thing finished kinda early. I had to follow her, and had no idea where she was taking me....we passed a lot of country stuff. We watched 2 eps of Bones and then I went home.
Sunday I slept in till in till 11ish. Which was necessary! Later Mum and I went down to Bentleigh to the house again. Margaret met us down there and the 3 of us cleaned out the place. We packed up the car twice and took stuff to 2 separate op shops and then packed up stuff to take home and drop off at the salvos as well.
I was supposed to go out with Jacinta Sunday night but I was too tired and had a headache, and she was unwell herself!
I've been exhausted all week....hopefully I'll be able to sleep in on the weekend! That'll be great!
