It's been a crazy week, with ACTUAL crazies in cameo appearances

I am tired. I am not going out and being social tonight. Tonight I think I’ll rent a season of Black Books and sit in my pyjamas and enjoy it. In my previous post I shared the list of events for this week. Typing them was tiring, but living it… exhausting!!

My sisters graduation was fantastic! She looked beautiful and the whole family was very proud. They paraded down the main road in Takapuna in all their gowns, with bagpipes playing, police escorts, the works! It was awesome.Â
My original plan was to leave for the UK and end up missing my graduation. But after attending my sisters and getting chills, I have changed my mind. I will definitely be attending my graduation in April. I think it’s great closure for finishing a degree – needs to be done!

After Allie’s graduation ceremony we headed out for lunch with my dad to celebrate at a Japanese restaurant. Very yum. Luckily I had organised to have the day off work with my boss, so in the afternoon I could relax a bit. Ended up helping mum plant a few trees. Then that night we went out to an Italian restaurant for dinner with mum to celebrate Allie’s graduation.

After dinner some friends hassled me into going out to the university bar for some drinks. So I finally gave in and met up with them. It turned out to be a good night, I was driving so only had a couple of drinks. But still a great night to catch up with them all.

Last night, Friday, I headed out for a few drinks with my sister and a group of her friends for celebratory drinks for her graduation. It was another great night! But just topped off my tiredness completely.

My week at work was a successful one, apart from earning great money by doing more hours, I’ve managed to catch up on a lot of my work load. The thing that’s taking me the longest is the company’s website. Website design can be very time consuming!

An entertaining moment at work on Thursday, when I was in the office by myself and a customer came in (I don’t know how I attract the crazies):

Mr Crazy: (looking straight at me) Are you eating an orange?
Me: Umm yes.
Mr Crazy: I wish I could still eat oranges, but they affect my feet.

WTF?! I know. Something to do with the acidity? And then I zoned out…

I must be off to shower and get dressed now. My sister, mum and I are off boot/shoe shopping today! Woo love it. I’m also off to brunch with the girls tomorrow morning. I hardly see my high school friends these days. So it’s wonderful to catch up on the goss at a Sunday morning brunch.

Cheap drunk

I showed my true colours the other night at my sister’s 18th birthday. After one and a half glasses of wine, the first alcohol I’ve had in two weeks (damn exams!!) I was already tipsy.

Discussing the easiest alcohol to hide.

21yr old sister: “at least there’s less fumes in vodka than wine.”

me (24 in 8 days, shite): “there’s no fumes in shampoo!!”

18yr old sister: “umm…? what? you mean wine?”

me: “I said wine!”

“brother-in-law” (21yr old sister’s boyfriend): “she wants wine! give her another!”

Which put everyone into fits of giggles for hours. Then when my 21yr old sister was leaving, I gave her a hug and kiss and she asked “mmm your hair smells nice, what wine do you use?”. Giggles ensued for another few hours.

Which is how my posing photo emerged.

Simple family moments, they’re the best!

p.s. I have absolutely no idea where ‘shampoo’ came from. I wasn’t drunk! Maybe I was thinking I needed to buy more shampoo? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just going slightly crazy.

p.p.s. god I know I need my highlights re-done. That’s going to be my birthday present to myself after exams!
