Its thriday again... how we love thridays!
We have booked our accomodation for the weekend, and we are going to Secret Valley Escape! in the blue mountains!! Really looking forward to getting away from the norm! Only problem is, the woman assumed that we were a straight couple! URGH! i hate that... tried twice to summon the courage to straighten it out, but in the end the guts and opportunity never shared the same timeslot!

I hate arkward, but surely it doesn't need to be arkward.. i mean, she made an assumption, which is probably fair and its just not the case! I am sure it will be ok!
Fingers crossed! I will blog the site after this entry, and will give all a run down on how it went! Sounds really beautiful, 200 acres of forrest and views!!

I am finding this site frustration at the moment, I want to add contact info, but other than hardwireing in the html, i cant find an easy way! I think it may have to do with the template i have chosen... and i wonder how much of my formatting that i will loose if i change templates half way through! I want these coloured panels resized, but can i see where to do it??? No... i want contact details, which i will find a way of doing, and i want many other things!!! i wish this site had frontpage server extensions... then i could take complete creative control! Argh... i will ust have to work out how to work around it! any suggenstions please let me know!

We are kind of half hearted about going to the show tonight.. we just dont want to go and be dissapointed! Lee wants her Halal kebab... and i just want to see the animals... but we can expect that things will be closing down around us! such a pity we didn't get there last weekend!

I am hoping to get a hair cut today, as Lee and I agreed my hair looks like a nuclear explosion! One mighty big mushroom! We have a parcel waiting at Alex post office, which is kinda impossible to get, because of the business hours issue, and washing to be picked up from the laundomat!!! we dont usually put stuff in, but after last weekend, there were so many sheets etc to be washed, we just couldn't be arsed!

So much to do, so little time.... never bloody mind work... ;) just kidding !

Finally the sun is shining in Sydney, but i don't trust that it will stay for long! There are still clouds in the sky, but its better than nothing!!! Lisa came for a visit last night, she had a FABBO weekend!!! Keep your eyes peeled for the next Cosmo, article on drag kings... she is going in for her photo shoot tonight... before and after... it will be a scream!!
The house is reverting to its pre weekend state... it has quietened down a lot... and the animals are recovering...

iTS OFFICIALLY THE HUMP OF A NICE SHORT WEEK! hoorah for long weekends!

I am hoping to convince the Lovely Lee to come and have a wonder around at the show tomorrow night, which will be fun... everything will be closing up... but a late look is better than no look!

Not much else to report.... Jesso, Happy Easter... I haven't heard from you in a bit!!! whatchoo doin'?

LOL... starting with good humour, considering the weekend just passed. Here we are Tuesday the 22nd April... i am amazed at how time keeps ticking by! We had a bit of a palaver on the weekend, after arriving home on Thursday night, after a big grocery shop, we found that the phone had been disconnected, and not only our phone, but Meagan's as well! why? because i had forgotten to remind Meags that her bill was due! OOps... anyway, couldn't have happened at a worse time, We had family staying, meags had Naomi down... How embarrassing! and what made it worse, was that we had to wait till today to get it reconnected, as it was Easter weekend!

This brings me to "Happy Easter Everyone!" I would have called... but the phone was disconnected!!! What a weekend... we had rain all weekend, so all of us, visiting family included were trapped in a house with no phone, and rain! oh my god how it rained!!!

we probably had about 2 hours a day where the rain wasn't belting down! and having decided to rely on the internet for planning outings, with the phone disconnected, we were a little stranded! we never got to the show! ;( we might try and go one night after work... maybe Thursday.. we will have missed our chance to see the diving pigs, but that will keep! there are a few places you can go to see that kinda thing anyway! ;)

We went to the aquarium on Sunday, paddy's markets on Friday, and I think we went to Broadway for some shopping on Saturday!
It was Lee's first time at the aquarium, and so it was fun standing in the shark tank, watching everything going on over our heads! Way over priced! but fun none the less! I haven't been down to darling harbour for ages, so it was nice to see all the darling hustle and bustle.... Its funny how you only do something's when you have people visiting from out of town... i am going to make a concerted effort to do those things more, so lee and I can experience a bit of Sydney together!

We have big plans for a weekend out in a log fire cabin in the mountains... that is if we can organise it!
god it will be nice to just really take some time out! God knows we both need it... we are definately near the end of our tethers!

The weekend all in all was a success, though we didn't get a chance to do all the things we had planned, we did get to spend some quality time with family...
so nice considering that we rarely get to see them! Have muchos to do today, so i should get on with it... Thank God its a short week... not sure how i would have coped with 5 days of work after the weekend...

Olive rrived home after her weekend at the health farm... looking pretty good! and well tempered... for er anyway!! she has a big naked belly! but is looking better for her time away!! the Vet gave aus a sterilisation certificate, which i am hiding from olive, as i fear it would damage her self esteem! but all in all... she is doing very nicely!
