The Long Weekend

As usual, I am delayed in my blog posts, but I couldn't not post about the Easter long weekend.. we had waay too much fun!

 

 

 

On the Thursday night we headed out to our local with the usual crowd and as usual it ended with MacDonalds at 3am.

 

 

Nutella and Strawberry Pizza - $4!

 

Our Good Friday started surrounded by all the hungover-feeling-sorry-for-themselves friends from the night before, and even though we had every intention to make it to the Royal Easter Show, fate stood in our way.. after driving all the way there to be faced with a sign saying "No casual parking, all lots are full", we turned around and went home to have a scary movie marathon with a few friends.

 

One of the movies we chose was Australian. Do I need to say much more? What is it about Aussie accents in movies that just get so darn annoying?!

 

On Saturday we headed west to have lunch with my mum at Liana's in Parramatta.

 

 

After parking we found this... what a lovely, unexpected surprise - thanks council man.

 

 

Mum's chicken (on the left) actually tasted like pancakes with maple syrup on them.. for real! It was so strange, but  uber delicious.

 

 

Fro yo dessert!

 

Saturday night and we headed to Tharens in the Cross. Do you remember last time I went there? It is a great place for lots of photos with silly hats, and just like last time we had a great night with our friends.

 

 

 

 

 

Easter Sunday was just more movies with A - my family doesn't do too much these days, not now we are too old for Easter egg hunting.

 

On Easter Monday we finally made it back to the Royal Easter Show and had a really good day walking around, looking at everything.

 

 

Have you seen the "goats screaming like humans" on YouTube? We saw it for the first time a few days before the easter show and A thinks it is the funniest thing evverrrr! A has a hugely infectious laugh so when he starts laughing, we all do.. he literally laughs when you even mention the goats, so it was no surprise he was excited when we saw the goats at the show...

 

 

 

...and then like another sign of fate, we heard a goat screaming like a human. What were the freaking chances? I am pretty sure it made A's whole long weekend!

My Easter

My Easter long weekend was great, but like many times, I forgot to take photos of  a lot of it to share with you guys. (Doup!) I am trying to get better I swear :P

Thursday night, we went to my roomie's birthday at Bungalow 8 for a few too many drinks and a late night BBQ sausage. It was a fun night with our close friends, which started and ended nice and early (and intoxicated).

Good Friday was the day we had the first party at our new apartment- our House Warming.

I woke up early to do the final cleaning and food prep for the BBQ. We bought waaayy too much for the BBQ, I thought that at the time of buying it and cooking it and now when I look at all the left overs in our fridge, but I guess it is better to have too much then not enough right?

I made a baked potato bar with lots of yummy topping options like chives, pineapple, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream with sweet chili and corn. I thought the potatoes were delicious. Unfortunately, only myself and my bestie tried them, while everyone else chomped on the Nam Noung (i'm not sure if I have spelt that right, but basically it is the most delicious marinated pork kebab/sausage sort of thing).

Despite my potatoes going uneaten, it was a GREAT party! We spent the day in the sun, down by the pool, eating nibbles and hunting for Easter eggs. When the sun went down we moved everything and everyone upstairs for some jello shots and some moves on my pole. The pole got a MASSIVE workout by the way. We couldn't have asked for the party to go any better, but I did wish I had a maid the next morning when I saw the state our place was left in :(

Luckily, I didn't have to stay in our messy apartment, as I made an early morning getaway to my mum's house for another BBQ and a day of betting on the Golden Slipper. It was fun hanging out with my mum, brother and dog Bobby, but it would have been even more fun if my horses decided to win! :P

Sunday was our lazy day spent watching countless movies and being looked after by A and my roommate, as I nursed a sore belly.

On Monday, I was back in action and off to the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I like the show and I always have fun, but I don't love it anywhere near as much as A does!! He lights up like a little kid and went to the show armed  with a "show bag shortlist" and all. It did turn out to be a great day, but damn was I tired by the end of it. I passed out at like 9.30pm and I am still tired today!!

Plus side is, I remembered to take photos...
