Ohh Hey Guys

Auckland Trip:

Christmas

I had a truely wonderful Christmas. It was three days of wonderful-ness. I just wish that I hadn't worked both christmas eve and Boxing day. It would have been more fun, but hey it's money.
On Christmas eve: Takeaways movies and desserts at Park Place. (Peppermint Mouse (oh yes))
Christmas day: Pancake Breakfast made by me, late lunch which was delicious (mum found a mini ham for us! i love glazed ham, then a dessert, followed by a very fun game of Trivial Pursuits, which Mum and I totally won!
Boxing Day: Bbq with the extended family, I got to see cousins who i adore and cousins that i barely see, but are soso cute! Followed by another insane game of Trivial Pursuits, this time my sisters won!

It was so wonderful, I got an Ipod (finally, hello 32 gigs!), and lots of other goodies. I loved spending time with my family, they are truly some of my favourite people.

Chris Cringle

After having a bad day at work, suffering the brunt of mad Christmas consumers, and trying to maintain an ever depleting Christmas cheer, I arrive home to a Christmas-ified home.
We're getting our REAL Christmas tree late this year, so I don't feel at all christmas-y. And this year I have been stuck in a mall, selling jewelery, where the Christmas-spirit is all a about how much money the retailers can suck out of the customers (turns out quite a bit, in fact). But every so often someone comes along whose appreciation and graciousness reminds of the real Christmas spirit. And also today there was a barber shop quartet singing carols, thats just awesome. Unfortunately those moments aren't as often as I would like.

I love you mummy. You are the mummy who saved my first Christmas of adulthood.



Photo is of our tree last year. Always a haphazard smattering of decorations, but perfect in every way. My sisters and I will be at work tomorrow, and I can not wait.

i want a new haircut

It's not what you think.

Bon Jovi played in Wellington this weekend. I do not like Bon Jovi.
the ONLY reason i am posting this song is because it was one of the reasons I met Jack.
Thanks Bon Jovi.

Peace

Ps - Christmas is around the corner! The Christmas carols are entering my ears and the smell of peppermint and pine trees are getting closer

Into the woods..

Today I spent the day catching up with a friend I haven't seen in ages. And lying in the sun.
And vacuuming and putting out washing. but that isn't interesting so why mention it!
