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!

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 25^th 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.
