The past few weeks have been such a blur, time is going by so fast. Last week I had my one month anniversary of having a full time job! Very exciting. Joe left for Auckland so we had a morning tea party for him. Sad to see him go, why is it always the awesome people who leave and not the creepers!
I saw Blindside last Monday it was so so so good. it was a fundraiser for Kirsten's family friend so we met up to go after work. I accidentally bought a new dress form Glassons, just 15$! Love it.
This past weekend was so fun. Had a girly night in with Katie on Friday night, we just watched friends and ate tim tams! Saturday was busy I hiked up Cannon Point with Jess and Katie and skyped the whole world including, but not limited to, Mom, Dad, Becky, Daphne, Rob, Rosa and Katie. It was awesome. Saturday afternoon I took a nap and then that night I went to Jade's where she curled my hair with her GHD. It looked so cool and stayed in pretty well all night which is amazing since it was humid and raining! We went to Cherie's to finish getting ready and then Kirsten and Lauren took us into town. We had amazing desserts at Strawberry Fare. I had a traditional Kiwi Pavlova with cream and the others had Banoffi pie, its like dulce de leche with graham cracker crust and bananas on top. wicked presentation and tasted great! Soooo pricey though, about 15$/dessert. Worth it though!
After dessert we went towning aka clubbing at Boogie Wonderland. This club was hilarious, it played 70s music and the dance floor was just like dance dance revolution. Around 1am we headed to Shooters, a more modern club and danced until 230am. At which point i was starving to I left with Cherie and her friends to go to Burger Kind where I ate a divine Chicken Grabba meal. The others came in after Shooters closed at 3am. Its the earliest club to close, the latest one closes at 7am. Wild! makes Hull looks like childs play..which it kind of is seeing as only 16yr olds go out there.... but I digress. So I got home at 430 am. And proceeded to sleep in until 11am. New Personal best! I got up and had some brekky and watched friends. then went back to bed at 1 and rested until 4 when I got up to go to Josh's moms for tea. She made the most amazing roast chicken with kumara, potatoes, squash, carrots and broccoli. So yum. Josh made brownies but I was too full for dessert! So unlike me, eh? By the time I was ready for bed at 10pm, I wasn't tired anymore so i read until 2am and then woke up at 630am to go to the gym. Played soccer with Katie and Josh's team tonight. we lost 5-1. I blame myself. I really really suck. But I got a good sweat on and had lots of fun!
Our microwave broke and it seems that I only eat things you can cook in it...of course I only realized that after its broken. I am completely out of my element! haha get it...like a stove element... I watched Rhys Darby's stand up (also known as Murray from Flight of the Conchords) and he often explains his own jokes, its a crack up.
I'm reading a book called '100 things everyone should know how to do' and its pretty neat. So far I know how to make a bed, cook scrambled eggs, flirt, kiss, ask someone out on a date (which i will never, ever do), push ups, sit ups, sew a button, and some other tsuff but thats all i remember right now. each chapter is written by the person who is the master at whatever the thing is. Pretty sweet book actually. Next on my list is 'what colour is your parachute'.
The weekend is the queen's bday weekend. crack me up seeing as we celebrate it on the May 24 weekend, and its the same queen so theoretically it should be on the same day... Funny as. But I get a 3 day weekend and even though I'm a temp i still get paid because i worked the last 5 Mondays. yay!
I am having such an amazing time in NZ right now. I just feel so settled and completely at home. I was feeling a bit homesick a few weeks ago but now don't feel that way at all.
I have to get a warrant of fitness inspection done on my car Wednesday and I'm a bit nervous it wont pass, seeing as its older than some of my friends... So please pray!
Love!
PS very happy birthday to Rosa, we'll have to re-celebrate in November!
I need to track down that book, it sounds great! Also, remember when I suggested What colour is your parachute to a certain boyfriend of yours and accidentally made him really mad? Oops.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your car will pass its fitness test, seeing as you're quite fit, some of it will certainly rub off.
Hannah...where to start.
ReplyDeleteBeing that you have spent all that time and money doing the whole Dietetics thingy, maybe it's a bit late for the parachute book.
Next, you should really feel homesick, we don't want you to go and move back there after Matt's wedding.
LASTLY...did you know that I can do 55 push-ups now. Crazy eh. I'm so good.
Enjoy NZ. Have some great fun for me!
hahaha becky i totally remember that, awkward!
ReplyDeleteand congrats rod im very proud of you...wait girl pushups or boy pushups?
