But just for my own sake when I go to read these posts in months (years?!) to come, here are some other things that have been happening in my life:
- We got a heat pump installed about a month ago. I was really worried that our electricity bill would go through the roof. I'm a real scrooge, and so we normally just sit around in jumpers and use hot water bottles. But it has been so damn cold this year that we've ended up using the heater alot. Anyway, I'm pleased to announce that the heat pump has actually resulted in a $100 cheaper electricity bill! YEAHHHHh! And Josh whinges alot less about being cold. And me being a scrooge. phew. And britney is loving the warmth.
- Josh got flown to Queenstown last weekend for a corporate gig. And stayed at the Hilton too. I was insanely jealous as I've never been. And he wouldn't let me go with him because he said it was a work trip. Gah! Instead, to make up for it, he's invited me along to this weekends out of town gig - in Rotorua. and we are staying at the Holiday Inn. Not quite the same Joshyyyyyy. But I'll take it anyway.
- We got our bathroom renovated and it looks fabulous. The reno's ended up costing more than expected as we had to get a new extractor fan as the old one wasn't working so well. But it didn't break the bank (or us) and yeah, looks so much better.
- Celebrated Julie's 30th birthday party at Vivienne's flat in town. Was fun except everyone got insanely drunk and I felt a little lost at some point as I just didn't know where I fit in. But hey, I partied till midnight, even had a little boogie on the dance floor. And I outpartied the birthday girl, who was rugged up in bed by 10ish. At least she put herself to bed :)
- We did a bit of work in our garden and it actually looks good. Not so wild at the moment!
- Went to see the ballet last night with Vivienne, Nathania, Amy and Sarah. Lovely night out with the girls, and absolutely loved the sets. I think Sarah was inspired to arrange this girls night after I organised the viewing of "Magic Mike". Which was an awful movie but oooh the eye candy totally made up for it :)
- Curry club with the usual crew is still going strong. Latest meetup was at "Little India" in Kingsland, arranged by Simon. Best curry we have had in a while.
- Been spending a bit of time at T, Siza, Ben and Geoff's place. Love hanging out with those guys.
- Currently reading the 3rd book of the "50 shades of Grey" trilogy. These books suck. How the hell did the trilogy become so popular?
- At one point last month, I had 2 different friends and my niece all in Hawaii all at the same time. And they were all posting photos on facebook and updating their status' with really jealousy inspiring updates. But my m-i-l got me a flash pedicure and manicure voucher. And OH MY GOSH, if I couldn't be in Hawaii, lazing by the pool/ocean in the hot sun with a cocktail in hand, then this pedicure was the next. best. thing. I've only ever had pedicures in those little asian places in malls. Or in Bali/Vietnam. So I thought i would be in there for 1/2 hour max. and would end up with pretty toes. But oh no. THey took me to the massage room, which is such a relaxing spot. And i got to lie down with a tropical herbal tea, and pretty music and incencse. And the therapist massaged my feets and ankles and calves for about 45 minutes before painting my toenails. Pure bliss, I tell ya! I may even have dosed off.
- That's all that I can think of for now. Work is soooo quiet. If i wasn't pregnant and looking up pregnancy blogs or advice sites, I'd be going insane with boredom. But it's working for me in my current state. And actually I don't have that much longer to go before I go on maternity leave. CRAZINESS. Then, if all goes well financially, I'll be a stay at home mum for a year. Wow.
