Pull up a stump and read along. It's a new adventure but I'm still the same.....

This time next week...

Al and I will probably be ready to kill each other....but we'll cope because we'll be on our way back to Orange for a visit - if we survive the ten hour drive! My grad is coming up (shit time to have it I know....Uni feels like forever ago!) and we're heading home for it, Mum & Dad will meet us in Orange, it should be a great week. I am super excited and can't wait to see everyone, far from being a relaxing week at home, I think Al & I will both be flat out trying to see everyone & catching up on the last 5 months worth of goss....I really can't believe that these last few months have flown by so quickly. It is creepy how fast this year is going.

Work was absolutely crazy this week, half the ward was honestly tripping out...there must have been something in the water because everyone was just crazy this week. I was glad to have today off, in all honesty I was mentally drained and probably would have cried if I had to go into work today.

So due to my unbelievably week full of weirdo's the couch calls.

Happy Happy Monday people.

Seriously Amazing

Friday night was great at the footy, was very happy to see the Aussies get up. There were so many NZer's there, probably more than Aussies.....which was slightly weird. .

The ten of us sat behind the goal posts and had a great time....until we got home...look what greated me on the driveway ....they are so disgusting. For those of you who know I absolutely despise frogs so it makes it even worse living here in CANE TOAD country...they are disgusting.

Last night....amazing....Beyonce....amazing. She is one wicked performer and Nik, Sum and I had an unbelievable night. She performed for over two hours straight without stopping and she is better live than on any CD! We had a few z list celebrity sightings....Ricki Lee (the bird out of the Young Divas) & Dan off Neighbours (I think he was on idol too). Great seats and great atmosphere and I would honestly say if you get the chance to go see her, definitely do it!

Wishing everyone a speedy week!

The Countdown

What a jam packed weekend we've got organised! After three spectacular days off (I was very excited....can you tell!) i've got a mountain of things on in the next three days. Firstly Vic is coming through tomorrow so we've organised lunch at this great pub just up the road, then Friday arvo/night the Anzac test is on at Suncorp. So the ten of us (really the Cobar Connection up here) are off to the test. It won't be a big night for either Al or I because we're both working on Saturday....groan. Am day shift Sunday, but then Nik, Summer & I are off to ..... Beyonce!!! We've been waiting for her concert to come around for ages, should be great fun.

Went into the big smoke yesterday....and really I am glad that I don't have to go in everyday. Great shopping (really bad for the bank balance!) but OMG so busy. Anyway am off to do some odd jobs...mainly for Alastair!

Love Love.

What about the Chocolate!




Hey there

Well I hope everyone has recovered from the Easter Bunny's visit! Here in the Spinks/Davey/Travis household you honestly would have thought the EB delivered every sort of egg known to man. For a bunch of people who don't eat a lot of chocolate we certainly had a lot delivered!

Even though I worked all weekend we managed to steal a few hours down on the river in the boat. It was great to see Mum & Dad and it was a shame they could only spend a few days up here. I will get to see them again in May when I'm home for my graduation so another thing to look forward to.

Speaking of things to look forward to since the end of netball...yes we lost :( our end of season trip (or really day adventure!) is being spent at the races here in Brissieland! A lawn party....ah brings back memories from my Sydney Easter racing days. Should be great....look out Brissie I say!!

Not my brightest idea!

The footy...Suncorp Stadium - it's amazing! Even though we had only paid for cheap tickets, we sat behind the tryline & everything seemed to happen down our end!! I was so happy the Broncos lost....even though the loss resulted in Al drowning his sorrows until he was spastic! Went to a few pubs and surprise surprise Al and Heath ended up on the dance floor (with each other...by themselves) doing their chain saw, lawn mower and sprinkler dance moves...not pretty. But we survived....or at least the boys did. After stumbling in after 3 and because I am an insomniac I was awake at 7....going to work that afternoon was not my brightest move. Anyway I soldiered on and live to tell the tale - or rather my patients live...that's always a bonus!

Today and tomorrow off....I plan some relaxing couch time and some Easter shopping before Mum & Dad arrive on Friday. I am so excited to see them. Even though I'm working we'll be able to have a good catch up and eat loads of food and drink and be merry (Easter not Christmas :)

Speedy Wednesday & Thursday to you all!
