highlights

well hello my blog reading friends.
sorry i've been so absent of late. it drives me crazy when i don't get the time to write.
work has been busy and life has been busier. plus i still haven't found my internet usb thing.
lots has been happening so here are some snippets of the last week.
i had my review at work which went swimmingly! very happy that they are happy with me.
i've settled into my new home. still using a camping chair for our couch but not for long!
beth is using her painting prowess and renovating a lounge for us.
i got to meet richard branson! the full story and pictures coming soon.
matt and i had dinner at the german club with jason. so much fun. great food and lots of laughter.
my friends got engaged. in new york. with a tiffany ring. i got all teary when they told me.
i exercised. once. but am going to go again this week, and may even start walking.
i lost my keycard thanks to too many pure blondes on friday night at the waterloo.
on saturday matt, beth and i went to ikea. matt complained the whole time.
so we left him in the food court and then sent him to the car.
he says he's training us for when we have kids.
we think he's doing a very good job.
this morning matt and i went for a walk on the beach in coolum.
he looked for seaweed and i took pictures of the ocean.
i can't remember the last time i went for a dip. hurry up summer.
we ate like royalty at matt's house. roast pork, sticky date, cooked breakfast, chicken soup.
thank you janet for taking such good care of us as always!
my dad helped me fix my car, yet again. i don't know what i do without him.
he saves me so much money. i owe him big time.
i had a lovely catch up with jen.
aromas hot chocolates, a citrus tart and far too much talk about work.
got to see rach, cris and meg. we all had chocolate cake and strawberries for lewis's birthday.
even though the birthday boy wasn't there! he was at his dad's but we celebrated anyway.
now i'm staying up late when i should be in bed.
i have to get up early and drive from noosa to work in brisbane.
it always seems like a good idea at the time. then 5am comes.
at least matt is joining me on the journey. even though he should be driving his own car back!
we are so bad at doing the sensible thing.
anyway, at least that's a small update.
lots more went on of course but these are just some of the highlights.
(well, one low-light, why do i loose things so easily??)
