Is you can't hold yourself together, why should I hold you now?

At the train station
Fun at Cherie's
Watching the rugby, Lions won!
Belgian Biscuits I made for youth dessert night last week.

I gave my 2 weeks notice at work last Monday! Best decision I made all month. It was just getting too boring and I just felt like I was wishing away my days, its no fun to live for the weekend. I have a whole new appreciation for TOH, I'm actually really excited to get back to working as a dietitian. I applied to a part-time job there, would be pretty sweet to get it.

Yesterday at our work lunch we had brunch. I made peach french toast bake, Dave made BLT's and Mama T brought in bakery treats. I am so loving custard squares. So that was the highlight of my day, as well as reading numerous David Thorne (aussie comedian) articles on his website

Thats my favourite article. Overdue account, Simon's pie charts, Blockbuster late fees and 5pm are also hilarious. FYI some are inappropriate.

So on Sunday morning around 1am a man was assaulted in Upper Hutt. He was walking home from a bar and was jumped by 4 guys. Thats like someone being jumped walking home from Westboro or Wellington West. He died in hospital Sunday afternoon. He was just 26. So sad. Pretty shocking too for us, you think you live in a safe place... Katie and I have walked home from the same bar at the same time. Never again!

My weekend was really good. Pretty low key really. Went to a women's event at church Friday night, a speaker from a massive Auckland church. She was a but too over the top for me, very American. But she was born in Canada. Wild.

Saturday I skyped heaps and then walked into town with Katie to go to the Upper Hutt fair. It was pretty fun, we walked around the stalls, I bought some Gallaz jandals for $10! Tested some delish fudge and went to McCafe for coffees. I got a VIP card finally, $4 for 2 coffees. Choice! Had homemade melting moments with our coffees. We then walked home and our eyes were wounded by obese belly dancers. Very unfortunate but good on them for not caring. I guess.

Later Katie went out and got us 2 more coffees from McCafe and we ate them with Tim Tams and mini Squiggles while watching Friends. We did face masks and our nails and then I went to Kirsten's. We got ready to go out towning and then went to Cherie's. We were laughing hysterically for ages and I don't even remember why!

We took the 1130 train into Wellington and went to the Big Kumara then The Grand (aka Shooters). Danced a bit and went to Burger King. Went to Boogy Wonderland and then Kirsten and I got tired and took the bus to Petone and then I drove us to McDonalds and got Big Macs (my first one in like 7 years!). Filthy. I slept over at K's and then got up early to go to church. Awesome message about how attitude is a decision. It was a Promise Keeper's guy who spoke. he did some healings before the service which I had never seen. He was like "someone has a deadness in their right thigh" and this lady was like yes! And she said it felt better after. I'm usually skeptical about that sort of thing but he seemed really genuine.

Sunday after church I went home and had lunch with Katie's sisters and their significant others. Sooo yum. Afterwards I passed out on the couch and slept for like 2 hours while katie was in "my room" which is the only place my computer gets an internet connection and she needed a PC. The couch was actually quite comfy and I was so tired from going to bed at 4am that it probably didn't even matter. That night I watched CSI Miami and lazed around. Skyped for ages more and then went to bed.

Today work was decent, went by pretty quick. Boss man made an appearance (he was supposed to be gone 2 weeks and I thought I'd never see him again. He wouldn't even look at me, he's not happy. I have to train 2 people for 4 days starting tomorrow. Will not be fun.

Looking forward to Bay of Island this weekend, although its school holidays so might be busy up there!

LOVE!
