October is here... its amazign how time flies... we are only 2 months away from the end of the year, and i am only 3 months away from 28! FAR OUT!

I havent blogged in so ling, so i will try and keep it short so i can get a bit in about all the things that have been going on!

we have been so slack with photos recently... so i will try and paint pictures for you!

I think that we should go back to the first weekend in September!

Mum and dad came to stay for the weekend... they both had a bit of work to do, but it was all over by friday lunchtime, so the weekend was ours! We had lots of good food. Bay tinh (viet) The curry leaf (SriLankan) and other delicious things along the way. We Saw lots of mum and dads friends like The Mackellars, The Philps, Sprog Ward. All in all it was a really nice weekend... Lots of running around though. Absolutely loved having mum and dad to stay!

The following tuesday was Lee's birthday! I made sure she had a good spoil. The day went like this... When we woke up i gave her a cup of tea, then ran out to ballons inflation to pick up her birthday boquet of ballons... a mis of Skull and Crossbones, and Kisses... all in red black and white! And a heap of spooky glitter... 3D spiders and cobwebs and the like... She got her pressies from me... Alias season 2 DVD boxset, and Alias for the PS2, some socks, undies and other little treats.. and then we went out to the cafe around the corner for breakfast. After that we went to Jurlique for her massage, and then on to the fish markets for a seafood platter for lunch! YUM. AFter lunch we headed off, smelling a bit fishy ot the hairderesser where we had her hair done, and then home for a relax... I also bought lee an Ipod mini, which took three weeks to arrive, and she now has it in her hot little hand! more to come n the Ipod. It was an unreal week... dinner with friends... lots of mnice new toys to play with...

That weekend we went to canberra for lee's family birthday celebrations... Jen made a beautiful birthdya dinner... CRAB CURRY!! YUM!!! along with Lee's favorite Sambal, and fav vegies etc! We had such a lovely time! saw the fam, and managed to convince Mysh and the boys to come and stay the following weekend!

And They Came..... Was so nice to have them there... the boys were fun, and was a good opportunity to spend some more time one on one with them... We went to Paddies, and went on walks... all in all a good time... i think by the end of it we were more tuckered out than they were! LOL

Friday i had a security trainign session at microsoft... amazing!! the people that were in the room were a mix of the top company internet security experts, a few from the dark side, and all sorts of debate about what is safe, and how to hack security systems! Absolutely blew my mind!!! following We had my 4th anniversay dinner for work at jan's and vinces... they put on delicious food, and lee and I were given a pedometer each to keep track of our excercise! seems we aren't quite making our daily quota... SUPRISE SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That then brings me to last weekend! The sleaze long weekend! Jen and Fiona came to stay with us for the weekend... We ate good food, enjoyed good company, waled, we went shopping, and drank and smoked at home on the couch! The weather has been so beautiful... we managed to pick up a bit of colour in the garden! So nice to have a long weekend too. Monday was hardcore lounging!

This weekend we have the weekend off from travel and visitors... at this stage anyway!
We are planning on doing some stuff on the house this weekend... maybe unpacking soem more of our things... getting things straightened out! it should be satisfying! i ope. The following weekend we were given a free night at the Crown Plaza Terrigal... a Ocean view room.. mmmmmmmmmm sounds pretty nice to me... will be nice to get out of Sydney, and not have a million things to do. relaxation here we come!

The following weekend something is planned... but my brain needs to be reindexed before i can work out what the!

In November we are going on the houseboat... which we are getting really excited about... we have big plans to stock up on Bloody mary mix, and red wine, and good books! Oh... it will be interesting! planning on getting myself a rubber tire so i can hang off the end of the boat, only puling myself in for a top up of my drink as mum has tried and tested!

Memo to self! Pick up a water toys for floating!!

Lee's Ipod arrived last week, and we are still working out Best Practices with it! but i spent lots of time on Monday night putting some music on it for lee... we are goign to get a radio transmitter so as we can play it on the house boat, and in our car! Technology huh?

Enough of a blab... you should all be pretty much up to date now!
will endeavour to be more timely with my blogs!
