Forgot from where I came

Flippen heck, I only have 2 months left here in NZ. Time has been flying by! I just found out today the boss is going to be away for 2 weeks, I have been planning when to give my 2 weeks notice, I think I might have to give it while he is away! Saves me the confrontation. Hollaaar. I really, really don't want to train the new person, especially as the last girl was super irritating and asked 100,000 questions that were utterly ridiculous. As my mom always says: there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. What up! (Thats for all you 'How I met your mother' fans).
This week has been good, especially in comparison to last week where I spent an entire Sunday secretly passed out in Kirsten's bed after a bit of a wild night in town, then had a wicked flu and took a day and a half off to sleep and watch movies, plus got my hair dyed a lovely shade of orange/red/ugly. Clairol dye is complete crap, it smelled bad and instead of going blonde, I got red. Thanks for nothing. But, I called them up on Monday and Jade and Tracey helped me get my money back.
I played laser strike (laser tag in Canadia) on Tuesday night (came in second place!). It was so much more fun than our version. The guns actually work and there are two settings of shooting so you can be pretty precise. Also lots of places to hide, which was ideal for me seeing as I was wearing white jeggings that glowed like no other in the black light. We played a few games of pool after, yep I still suck.
Wednesday night Josh helped me fix up my lovely bike so I could start biking to work. Sadly, this was not meant to be. He put my front tire on, not quick release, but sloooooow release. Involved gadgets and tools. Then he turned my handles bar the right way and tightened them. Then tightened the seat. I took it for a spin. The tires were flat. Pumped them up. Test ride number 2 (in the dark I might add). Good until I heard a clicking sound. Oops a spike broke. So Josh ripped it off. He took it for a spin and noticed the front tire was catching on the mudflap thing so he took that off. Tire still rubbing something and losing momentum. Sigh. The front tire is mad warped and rubs the new brake pads. Flippen bike is a piece of crap. I give up. I don't care enough, I'm going to try and sell it on trade me. The new tyres and tubes are worth 80$ alone. I'm a bit gutted, but what can you do?
We watched part of the sequel to "Once were warriers', classic kiwi films. So violent and disturbing and sad though.
Now its Thursday and I have some skype dates to look forward to over the weekend as well as a youth thing and getting my hair fixed. Oh, and its Father's Day in NZ on Sunday. First day of Spring was yesterday, gorgeous day. Followed by today where it rained super hard all day. Yuck. I really can't wait for Tonga and Bay of Islands!
I finally found an amazing bridesmaid dress the other weekend with the help of Mama T. Its awesome, I love it. Accidentally also bought a designer handbag made by Kathy Von Zeland, and another dress from Stax to wear to Matt and Carlos' wedding.
This am I got up at 630am to hit the gym, but when on Skype first and got to talk to Matt and Rach, awesome start to my day!
LOVE!

  1. Is Kathy Von Zeland the queen of New Zeland? (Not to be confused with New Zealand.)
