Had the best time in Sydney with m

y dear dear friend who i love to peices! I love Sydney so much, the town is totally groovy and has so much going on! The weather was great which made it that much more enjoyable. We jammed heaps into the 3 nights we were there - but man it went fast (what is that?) Found this fantastic shop having a HUGE sale, so had to do the right thing and make a few purchases - and then some! HA! seriously got some awesome bargains! love it when that happens!

Had drinks down at the Rocks .... as you can see the Opera House in the background - stunning!

Went to the movies and saw the new dancing movie with Antonio (can't remember what its called) he is so sexy tho! Ate really well at some delicious restaurants, Cafe Sydney which had a spectacular view, Bathers Pavillion also a stunning view on the North Shore - and both outstanding food. Also dined at Bills for Breaky at Darlinghurst - this was probably the highlight of my time - as I do love Bill's food. here I am enjoying the absolutely brilliant Ricotta Hotcakes - to die for seriously!

I have more pics, so will post when I get organised. Still coming back to reality ... the house was pretty awful so its been all go getting things back on track - wink, I know you know what I mean! I totally not complaing tho, was awesome to have some time out. The past two days have been real busy getting sorted, and also have 20 certificates to do in calligraphy for the First Communion group that Katya is a part of - she is making hers this week. Have to go dress shopping tomorrow! for now tho, i might go and create something. one last shot that I took tonight ... just have to share this with you .. Suz got me this cool pink heart shaped dish for my birthday which I totally love ... and I cooked a pie in it for dinner tonight - check it out! (ok - can't get the photo up will try again tomorrow)

I am getting some work done today ... yay! I have been chasing my tail for the longest time, so now have come to an arrangement with lil sis that helps us both out. She has taken the littlest girl for a walk to the shops - I am not used to having so much peace. I am trucking thru the work which is cool .... having a quick break to post this and go make a coffee (eyes are hanging out of my head) my past few weeks of playing hard are catching up with me - obviously as you get older you can't handle the fast pace of late nights and champas regularly! So my natural detox system (my liver) is expressing to me to tone it right down! I must say it is fun to have a social life again ... the spirit is willing, its just the body which isn't co-operating so well!
Anyway, better get back to it ... am already feeling much more at peace with my work load!!!!

It was an eventful weekend, again! Life is full of fun at the moment. My littlest sister is here with us now, and its so nice to spend time together. She was awesome and babysat for us on Friday night when we went to a friends 40th party. It was a dress up party, and you had to go as someone who had already passed away - not the easiest task (especially for girls) we went as Adam and Eve - we must be mental!!!! It was really really funny tho, and I think hubby will probably NEVER live it down. It was tasteful, but I can't bring myself to post a photo ... just too much skin showing.
We went up the coast for a surf again on Sunday. The waves were better than last week, and I progressed on the surfboard - i really like surfing its heaps of fun. And great to have a challenge of learning something new. We got fish burgers for lunch - TOTALLY yum! Went and visited aunt and uncle at Bribie on the way home - their new house is underway and looks very awesome.
Today I have been on a total mission ... I am so OVER the clutter in this house (i get like this from time to time) so I have been putting it all away in its real place. Its a very time consuming job I must say! I am feeling much more on top of my life tho - yay!

Did finish a wee mini album for mum - a late mothers day present. Good to do some scrapbooking again! this is the cover .............

the open version

How cute are these pink ramekins? I thought they were gorgeous and I was thinking of all the cute deserts I could make in them!!!! My lil sis and I went shopping this morning and I found more pink accessories for my kitchen - cool! We went for coffee at Spoon which I love, great coffee.
She moved here to live on Monday, which is so exciting. Already she has work promise (she's a hairdresser) which is great. I think she'll go really well here as she has a great personality and is totally outgoing. We are loving having her here - she keeps me young, with what the fashion is doing etc. well, I am supposed to be working ... I only have half an hour before having to pick up my big girls from school - I seriously don't know where the day goes. Life feels a bit hectic at the moment, way too much going on - you have times like that! Its all good tho, I have just SO much to be thankful for!

Today is the start of my 34th year of life .... its been such a great day. I am quiet tired, as I did see my birthday in with a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday from some friends who were here for dinner, and after 3 bottles of champange and some sambuca (you know I have a weakness for it - yum yum yum) it was about 2am before I hit my pillow. So I do confess to have two panadole and half a bottle of cytomax as soon as I woke up this morning. I did back it up with an awesome day at the beach and surfing both this morning and this arvo (lookout) I wanted to start learning to surf and what better day to start than on my birthday. I this arvo I was standing up - not exactly going off, but never-the-less still on my feet - YAHOO! it was fun, and the water was so stunning really beautiful. I could see fish swimming in the waves and also saw dolphins this afternoon - how cool! I did have a glass of champange at lunch ... just because I could!!!!! And it was delicious! so now, I am quiet tired, and ready to eat my indian takeaway that my dearest has just bought home! I am looking forward to a new year, more chances to better who I am, and work on who I want to be - and live my BEST LIFE! cheers!

I really don't have time to be bloggin right now ... I am under the pump at the moment, just so much happening and not enough hours in the day! Somehow I have slipped behind with my work (thinking I was doing enough to be ok) and actually have a tonne to do .... which is what I've taken a quick break from to type this quickly. I would rather be going to bed ..... so will keep it short. Its going to be another busy week - until I catch up on things.
Had a fantastic weekend away ..... man I love the beach. the weather was really stunning and we found our favourite new cafe RIGHT on the beach where the kids can play in the sand right below where we can sit and have a nice coffee, champas or beer (depending on the time of day) I will confess to having a champagne at lunchtime on Sunday and man it was sensational! ok ... back to the grindstone!!!!! sigh!
