Apr 7th - Sunsets and hangovers...

Well after a big night last night at Red Bennies, I got the dreaded hangover. A berroca was definitely in order and having a bit to eat seemed to help too but it wasn't till I was on my way to work that I really started to feel dreadful :/ when I arrived at work I really felt like I was going to puke until I had some lunch and felt a lot better! Mm thank god for roast lunches on Sunday :) roast chicken, gravy and some veges with glass of orange juice was so great and definitely settled my stomach. Working today was definitely a struggle but there's no one to blame but myself :p but ah well, life's too short to stop having fun cause of work the next day. Even got this gorgeous sunset on my way home :)

Apr 6th - Red Bennies!

It was a very exciting day cause it was full of fun and it was one of my few days off so I was going to savor it! Firstly I went op shopping with a friend of work and found so many great bargains! In particular, two bar stools for $15 each :) they are a lot better than the ones I previously bought and will definitely get a lot of use! After a fun day of op shopping more adventures awaited. I organized myself and a group of friends to go to a burlesque club called Red Bennies. I've been there once before with a small group and had such a fantastic night. Especially since it was burlesque combined with fairytales so totally my thing! This time around was a variety show - more comedy and magic than burlesque. I picked up cheap vouchers from a deal website and they were a bargain! We got entry, a cocktail and some finger food for $11 each so we were very happy. We had lots of laughs and drinks and most people had a great night. Unfortunately two friends brought down the mood with their constant complaining and negativity but they left early and when they went, the mood lightened considerably. We ended the night with maccas. Not exactly healthy but just what we all needed.

Apr 5th - Bandaids and birthdays

Today was my dads bday so I made him a chocolate sponge cake with caramel filling and chocolate ganache :) it was delicious and he loved it! As well as the walking stick I got him as a joke present haha. I found it at an op shop and grabbed it as it was only $3! After visiting my family for cake and lunch, it was sadly time for work :( today was another bad day :/ A lady showed up for work for her shift but then proceeded to tell us she wasn't feeling well and could we find someone else to do her shift :/ so she went home and we had to run our team one person down. I finished an hr and half later - tired, frustrated and sore. Towards the end I was clumsy and rushing and I slammed my finger between the sink and stack of bowls and crushed it. It's still sore now! 4 hours later! And it's still bleeding a bit. Hope it's better tomorrow for burlesque show and tomorrows adventures :)

Apr 4th - Bing boy and a bite to eat!

After work today I caught up with my two newest friends, Nicole and Shelley and boy, did we have some great adventures! First we had dinner at Bing Boy! If you haven't tried food here yet, you sure are missing out. It was delicious. Ever since I walked past it about a month ago I've been keen to try it and I finally did and it was worth it. According to my napkin, It's an Asian street food consisting of a omelette wheat wrap with a variety of fillings. I chose the BBQ bing and it was delicious :) can't wait to go again! After that we went roller skating. I haven't been in so long and I still had it! We went rollerblading and my feet sure felt it afterwards but it was worth it. We continued on to maccas for ice cream. Was good except that they missed the extra caramel grrr. We continued on again to 24 hr Kmart and Coles and had some fun there trying on clothes and shoes :) it was a great night out and I can't wait to see them again soon!

Apr 3rd - Sundaes and a lot of laughter

Trivia time again. Work wasn't too bad today but trivia was what I was hanging out for. It was a blast! A really great group of people were there and we did quite well. At the end of round one we were coming first but by the end of round two we came equal third which is a great effort. Today nearly our whole today ordered dessert and funnily enough everyone wanted the choc mud cake and boy was it good! Then we all made our way across the road to maccas for sundaes! Yummmm it was a great end to a great night, except they were really stingy with the sauce grrr! Thats the best part! Caramel and choc sundaes and lots of laughter!

Apr 2nd - Reinventing myself and my room

Lately I have just been in a weird state of mind. Mostly I think it's work getting on my nerves but it's also missing my friends and feeling like I'm stuck in the movie groundhog day :/ where everyday is the same thing :/ ugh! I cannot wait to escape to New Zealand for 3 weeks. When I went last year it came at just the right time and it was definitely what I needed. I've been redecorating my room at the moment and I love the eclectic vibe and vintage feel it has. I love antique keys and birdcages and they add to that feel. I found these awesome canvases I'm thinking about getting for my room - I do love purple :) as well as my room I think I need to reinvent myself too. Maybe a new haircut or color to start off with ..

Apr 1st - New jewellery for an expanding collection

Jewellery is one of my weaknesses, as is clothes, shoes and accessories :p I'm sure it's the same for most girls too! My favorite jewellery stores are Lovisa, Colette, Valleygirl and Diva to name a few. Lately I've been so lucky getting lots of jewellery (really nice unique pieces) for really cheap because they've been on sale for $5 or less! Bargain! I really love vintage style pieces with things like birdcages, old keys and flowers. Here's a few of the rings I've picked up lately! Aren't they gorgeous! I love them all - its hard to pick which one to wear!
