Live Long and Prosper

The weekend is over again (boooo) and another working week commences (Yay??). It's been quite a good weekend though. I went to see Star Trek at the local cinema with my dad on Thursday (yes i know it's not technically the weekend, but the movie was so good i had to mention it on here somewhere!) It was FABULOUS, go and see it if you haven't already. Neither my dad or i are fully fledged Trekkie's, we don't don pointy ears and weird hair dos to look like Spock, nor do we know how to talk Klingon......however, i think it is safe to say we are fans as there just maybe a box set containing every season of Enterprise in the family home and my dad and i, for as long as i can remember, have always given each other the Vulcan sign in the form of a Hi-5 when we randomly pass each other in the house! I'm not embarrassed, It's our thing and long may it continue!

Friday was slightly horrendous, in that i had to get into work for 7am so, naturally, Thursday night i couldn't get to sleep. I managed 5 hours and was slightly hyper from lack of Zzzzzz's by the time i was at work. I had managed to do all the Friday chores by 8.20am and even had the washing on the line (Go Me! Woop Woop!!). The kids were dropped off at school, and i went out for breakfast with friends, still buzzing from lack of sleep and the 3 cups of coffee consumed that morning. By the time id got back to work at 11am i was on a speedy come down from the mornings manic productivity and caffeine intake and.......Oh. My. Goodness......I haven't felt that horrible for a long time. Looking back, i think it was a lot to do with the 2 previous days worth of inoculations floating about in me as well as lack of Zzzzzz's. Either way, I spent the next 2 hours curled up on the sofa feeling disgusting. To cut a very looooooong day short, i got off work at 7pm still feeling horrid and went straight to bed still feeling rough. I am not cut out for 12 hour days!

Saturday was good fun, up to a point.... Jo, you are my bestest friend in the whole wide world.....but i am soooooo very pleased/relieved that after 6 HOURS of shopping you finally found such a lovely outfit to wear for the wedding. We knew it was going to be a struggle, what with you being the only shape that designers and clothing outlets do not cater for, but with only a mild case of stroppiness towards the end of the day before Monsoon (god bless its over priced cotton socks) saved us from what could have been a full on tantrum on the shop floor. I think we both deserved a medal (and a sit down with a large glass of wine.)

As for Sunday, well, 'chillaxing' was the name of the game and i was it's over all winner! A few bits of jewellery were made for next Sundays craft fair but other than that it was all about DVDs, Ice creams, and lounging about surrounded by squishy cushions, maaaaaaaaaavelous.

So, that was my weekend. Not overly exciting i grant you. But this is, after all, my blog so i figure I'm aloud to bore you once in a while. Hopefully I'll make it up to you when life gets more exciting out in Thailand. 15 weeks and counting!!!
