movie night ... sort of

Last night, Danielle and I set out to watch the Bourne Ultimatum, however when we got to the cinema, we found out it doesnt come out until this thursday... woops.

not sure how that happened, but we picked up some noodlebox and came home to watch some cable and Zoolander instead. Dan also whipped up a microwavable sticky date pudding - which was awesome!

baby ahoy for belinda ...

On a whim I decided to go see belinda last night to eat yummy salmon and discuss her up and coming baby shower which I'm to organise. Its going to be an exciting event and we got into he nitty gritty of the details, however I am most exited about making the invitations - a great excuse to play with pretty papers and envelopes.

I am still toying with the idea of making it themed (I love themed parties). Possible pastels (all guest must come in pastel clothing) or bows (upon arrival guests are given a little cream bowtie or bow pin to signal they belong to our party), however i am worried that any theme will be to swayed toward one sex of the baby, which isn't known.
There is also the fact that I never mentioned the idea of a theme to belinda and she might hate it.

oh well, still in the early stages at the moment.

jaysen to London ...

well jaysen left for london last night and although I know he will have a great time, I will miss him. He left on a midnight flight, which had its benefits, but it meant we were all super tired and the farewell was not as energetic as one would have liked yet more tearful than anticipated. :(

daddykins birthday

this weekend was my dad's birthday and as he likes to keep things low key we just had a small dinner at home. However we still sprung for a mini-keg of heineken because it was hard to walk out of the bottleshop without it. Happy Birthday dad!

touring it up at seaworld

In an effort to relax and try to forget about my cars state, Jaysen and I went to Seaworld to do the tourist thing for a day. It was actually a lot of fun and they have added some new animals since I was there last - about 10 years ago - namely the polar bear and the underwater shark viewing area.

Although I mainly went to see the bears, they were not particularly lively and was a little miffed that they only put one bear out in the exhibit at a time - also that this one bear didn't feel the need to swim whilst we were there. Oh well, maybe in 10 years time I will go back and he will swim then.

polo in peril

Just in case someone out there thought I haven't had enough car problems this year with my car being away for 6 weeks under warranty repair, my otherwise beautiful car was the victim of somebody else's bad driving this week.

Although it is minor, it is terribly annoying to have some silly girl pull straight out of her parallel parking into your car. This I now know. What I also know is hire cars are disgusting and when you ask for "small" you are not necessarily seeing eye-to-eye on the size of vehicles. I am now stuck driving some enormous family car until my baby gets fixed!
