quiregrrl: (Miss Piggy)
Mardi Gras was good... I hung out at home with Suze and Mel on Saturday afternoon, and did some mending and shared their buzz of anticipation before they headed off to the marshalling area. I bummed around for a while and then headed over to the Den for Povo Mardi Gras Pyjama Party... much much trashiness ensued, and it was lovely. A deliciously intimate gathering of delightful folks, and even I indulged in the trashiness... was fun :) I do quite like the muntedness every once in a while :)

Sunday I slept half the day on the floor of the Den where the cuddle pile had been... yay happy vibes for sleeping in... eventually managed to get myself home where Suze, Mel and I decided that we had about enough collective energy to stay in our jarmies and order pizza, thus missing out on Farti Bra recovery at gurlesque, sadly... but night on the couch with pizza and So You Think You Can Dance and good company was very pleasant indeed :)

Monday I had an RDO, and after sleeping in I went on a trip with Suze and Mel to La Perouse. They clambered over rocks and looked at rockpools, but as I'm neither a fan of clambering or rockpools I sat on the rocks at the top and thought about stuff and life and the universe for a while, then it started raining so we got back in the car and headed to Newtown... we wandered for a bit, had some lunch, wandered, had some gelato, and headed home. I had a bit of a sick belly after weekend indulgences and too much lactose and by that point had spent close to 48 hours in constant company except when sleeping, so needed some quiet time and hid in my room with my laptop and wrote smut. I was lured out by the smell of soup... Suze is now officially my Jewish Grandmother, because I had a sick belly and she made chicken soup with noodles and dumplings and it was very nom and good and settled my belly and made me feel much better :) I love my Jewish Grandmother :)

Back to work yesterday, which hurt in so very many ways and sucked arse in every way but the good one... but then after work I met up with Suze and Mel in Newtown and had nommy Thai for dinner and then went to BINGAY! I've wanted to go to Bingay for ages but haven't got around to it... I will definitely go back! It's hosted by Mitzi Macintosh and Naomi Palmer, and they're very entertaining and amusing, and it raises money for ACON, and it's on every Tuesday night at Slox... last night they raised $1400, and it was lots of fun!!! Of course, I may be slightly biased because I won THREE games, including TWO major prizes... I thought I might get lynched when I called out "BINGAY" on the very last game for a major prize after already winning twice... Anyhow, I managed to score a pink fluffy cushion with "Princess" embroidered on it (that was from Suze when she won a game and picked that from the prize table for me), a pair of tater mitts, a compilation CD of top 40 pop/dance songs from 2008 (woo!), the most gorgeous and enormous bunch of flowers, some choccies for Suze and Mel, and the last major prize was a brunch for two at the Courty including two bloody marys and a double pass to see Changeling starring Angelina. SCORE!!!

Today is kind of sucking... i am very tired and out of sorts... I think an early night is called for... Mel and Suze are heading back to queensland tomorrow :( it's been really lovely having them to stay and getting to spend time with them and I think I'll actually miss them when they go... as far as houseguests go they rock, they cook food for me, and clean up after themselves, and don't get in my way, and don't get offended if I hide in my room, and they love Macy, which of course makes me happy :) they just better not try to steal her... Suze keeps saying she's going to take Macy back to QLD... i'm not too worried though... after 10 minutes in the car with her wailing I'm sure they'll turn around and bring her back rather than spend another 13 hours putting up with it!!
Keeping this first entry fairly short because it's late and i'm tired and i have a big day of packing boxes ahead of me tomorrow!! I'm moving the day after tomorrow (wednesday) and I have done absolutely ZERO packing, i was planning on getting started on the weekend, doing some tonight, and finishing up tomorrow, but i got distracted (as usual), and found better things to do (procrastinate? me? surely not..) and now I'm starting to feel panicked!! Oh well, I have 35 hours before the removalists are due, plenty of time to box up my life!!

The things that distracted me on the weekend were Gurlesque with Lesley, Cub and Rox, on Saturday night, which was lots of fun... highlight was definitely the Fat Bottom Burlesque Dancers, they were gorgeous and luscious and dead sexy, a real treat to see!! Close second was the lovely Christa Hughes shaking her stuff in a tribute to the classic "Risky Business" shirt/jocks/socks scene... and a nicely packed pair of jocks they were too *G*

Sunday I was distracted by yum cha with the same three, and then mardi gras Fair Day... I dyked the stall for a couple of hours with Spanky, and then we wandered around and took in all the Fair Day sights... was fun as always! I left as it was starting to rain and the storm hit as I was on the bus, so when I got off I sat in the bus shelter and took my boots and socks off and then splashed the two blocks back to my car, bright pink helium balloon tied to my wrist, grinning like an idiot, jumping in puddles and generally behaving like a 4 year old... very happy-making :o)

I had to work today, and was frantic all day, so I didn't get home until about 8:30 and I had to go out again about 11 to get boxes from Woolies for packing... the highlight of today was informing everyone that I'm taking part in the Worlds Greatest Shave fundraiser for the Leukaemia Foundation... I decided that if I get $300 in sponsorship I will shave my head... so far, after one day, I'm up to $215!!! Very cool... Spanky said she'd donate extra if she could be the one to shave my head, and really, I can't think of anyone I'd rather let near my head with clippers!! So that will be happening around the 10th of March, AFTER my brother's birthday party which will make mum happy!!

alrighty, bed time i think... must sleep, get up early, sort my life into an assortment of cardboard boxes ready for the big move to Campsie... as much as I hate and dread moving, I'm kind of getting excited now!
