Our Weekend

Saturday went fine – did a load of washing and just chilled out. I was too lazy to do some shopping.

I planned on cooking something special for dinner as it is Mcj’s birthday today, sort of an advanced celebration. But the night before, Mcj saw in the telly add that one of the home appliance stores has sale. He decided, we’ll get a plasma or lcd tv plus a home theatre system, so when Jens and I went food shopping in the morning, I just dropped the plan of buying the ingredients for my recipe as we will be going to the other shops when we get home and heaven knows when we could come back to cook dinner.

We ended up buying what Mcj wanted (Sony Bravia and heaps of speaker boxes and an amplifier) – good thing it will have to be paid after two years, we have time to save up and use the interest free period. (If only homes for rent are like that). We finished shopping around three and I was hungry as we didn’t have proper lunch. We dashed to KFC and decided to buy something for dinner as well.

Mcj installed the telly right away so we can watch the Australian MotoGP in the plasma. We enjoyed the next to perfect picture quality and pigged out on chicken at dinner.

Happy Today, Dad!

Birthday Glitter Graphics


Here’s to good life and good health. And more chocolates to eat (and hopefully we won’t need the best weight loss pills – to trim you down).

We’ll just be cutting cake tonight. No more elaborate celebration – too busy to do it. We’ll just make up for that on our coming holiday. He’s in good health despite the middle age spread and he got his gifts.

Worried

How I wish, I can buy appetite suppressant
for Mcj and make him take them too. He’s just so good with sweets. He’s experiencing pain (he calls it cramps) on his right chest. It could be anything for all I know. I can’t get him to see a doctor.

I blame the chocolates that he’s consuming everyday. It’s his comfort food so I can’t take it away from him.

Oh well, I can only nag.

Holden, Yay!

... that dominated the podium this year's Bathurst 1000. From 1st to 4th place.

I'm a holden fan and so is Hubs. It's a nice feeling that Holden bags it all.

The winners and their car.

4 Days Off

on December that is.

I was really adamant to ask for four days off from work as I just had 3-weeks off. I don't want to push my luck on that department. I was hesitant when I approach my boss – not bearing the leave form but I got a very positive response. I was ecstatic - feels like getting free web directory. Yay!

We’ve booked our accommodation around March this year. I am really hoping that it’s not crowded be it a holiday as people normally head to the coast instead of to the city during those days.

Friends: The Movie

Allow me to be happy, just for this one.

May it be rumour or fact, I am happy to learn that there might be Friends: The Movie. I can't get enough of it. I've been watching some episodes over, and over, and over...


It might be inspired by the Sex and the City: The Movie, this being a hit.

Hopefully.

I was surprised of myself one time when answering a blogthing question if who is my favourite, I chose Joey. Really!? But I like him.
