G-Unit

What a weekend!! Unfortunately, it's usually the good ones that leave you begging for an extra day off and struggling to get out of bed.

Just to be a little different today, I'm
going to tell you about my weekend backwards...

On Sunday, after very little sleep I drove to Wollongong to see my dad (post on that later). While I was in Wollongong, I also saw my 83 year old English Grandad. This is what he was wearing...
 
A and I could not stop giggling and the conversation went a little something like this...

"oh grandad I like your jacket" *giggle*
"it's nice isn't it? I like it because it keeps me warm"
" it's very cool" *giggle*
"you know the other day I was out walking and a young man came up to me and said he liked my jacket too"
*giggle* "g-unit is a rapper grandad"
"ooohh that makes sense then. I just thought it looked warm"

Hehehe so cute! My grandad the gangsta.
A pointed out that the g in G-unit could also stand for grandpa. Watch out ladies, it's the grandpa unit :P

Saturday night we had a triple combined birthday party, which started at the Meriton Apartments with a waitress, pizza and drinks.

Pre drinks

After we were all nicely tipsy, we headed to Home Nightclub.

It was a great night, but I don't think these nights are doing my waist any favours... Might have to take a break for a while I think.


Before heading to the apartment for the party, I rolled my tragic and hungover bum out of bed to see my hairdresser at Ivy hairdressing.


Before

After

I love it! I love being fresh blonde and I missed my side fringe.. I was constantly worried about the size of my forehead without it haha.

Friday night was suppose to be a "quiet couple" with 2 of the birthday peeps.

A quiet couple turned into 3 bottles of wine between two girls, a tonne of xbox connect contests and a huge amount of laughs.

It was a fun night. I moved out of home for nights just like this.

A good weekend but a busy one. Finally I think I'll have some rest this coming weekend, with only a christening in my calendar.

How was your weekend?

Weekend Wrap Up

What a GREAT weekend I had. I caught up with 3 different groups of friends, had alone time with the man and for once don't feel exhausted or hungover on a Monday morning. Maybe I am in holiday mode already?? Not sure if I mentioned this, but I am off to the Philippines with A, my bestie and his bestie next Wednesday- CANNOT WAIT!

Boracay, Philippines.

Friday night was a sleep over with one of my closest girls Alana. Home made, a few bottles of wine and lots of gossip always makes for an awesome Friday night in.

Saturday morning we got up, got a pedicure and then I went to meet some of my other girls for lunch. One of these girls just got back from her wedding in South Africa, so again there was lots of gossip! We went to Liana's in Parramatta, which I usually love. Their Risottos and Pastas are great, but with my diet, I decided to try something healthier and I went for the BBQ Calamari. I wish I hadn't. It was not seasoned well at all and two lettuce leaves underneath it hardly constitutes a salad. :(

After lunch, I headed to see my hairdresser Kevin at Ivy Hairdressing to blonde me up and blonde he did :)



Then this blonde hit Kings Cross with friends for another friends 25th birthday. We went to Trademark, it was only my second time there and I really loved it. The music was a great party mix and we were shakin' our booty all night long. I'm not sure it would have been as spacey and comfortable if my friend hadn't reserved a booth, but he had – yey!


Bluejuice dress, Diva necklace.

Sunday we just nursed minor hangovers, did a bit of shopping for travel necessities and then watched a few DVD's- Four Brothers and Get Rich or Die Tryin'. I hadn't watched the second one before and after it finished I started Googling fiddy's biography.

He is real gangsta, none of this fake shit. I feel more gangsta after just watching it.



Do you ever feel like that after watching or reading an autobiography? Like you somehow actually know the celebrity now and you can "relate"??? hahahah. Who am I kidding? Like I can relate to someone who sold crack from the age of 12. Puhleasssseee.He would laugh in my face. LOL.

Our Engagement Party

yAhhhh.. I am so sorry to anyone who reads this. Our engagement party was about a week and a half ago now and I haven't posted a word about it! WHY??? I have been sleeping! Hahaha After the hen's party and then my engagement party, I had been donning my super dooper captain-planning cape for weeks and so I was exhausted! A captured it perfectly the other day when he said, "I wish I had a fiancé that didn't sleep so much"- woops! :)

Anyways…. The engagement party was great!!! During the day, after getting my makeup and hair  done, I went into some sort of stupid panic/anxious mode and even teared a little… why?? I have no freaking idea! I think the anticipation was all too much and I was scared that it might not be fabulous or that it would be over.. all silly thoughts of course! Luckily mumma and A were able to slap some sense into me.

After being too cranky at mumma on the drive in (sorry again about that- but you know it is a terrible personality trait of mine) and arriving at the venue, all my nerves seemed to go away… especially when the guests started to arrive and when A walked in and I got my usual big bear hug!

The rest of the night is one big blur of happiness to me… granted, the very end of the night is missing due to the bar tab, however the majority is just due to an overwhelming mass of happiness! I have never smiled so much ever! Every time I looked at the door, it was another one of my favourite people walking through the door…another person to hug, kiss and giggle with!

A and I wouldn't change a thing about the night and the best thing is that all of our friends and family have said the same. Everyone has reported back as having a great time and have commented "how meant to be" A and I are. Our speech wasn't planned at all and everybody really saw how we bounce off each other, it proved to be a great laugh for everyone but also an "awww" moment.

I wish I could do it allllllll over again a million times, exactly the same! I think I got a taste of the wedding and I want more… hehehe. Anyways, here are the pics :) (sorry about the excess- a bit excited!!!)
