PAUL IS COMING HOME!!!

HURRAHHH!!

This is us at the latest photoshoot - Him coming home means more photos! and more importantly...MORE FEATHERS!! xoxoxo can't wait.

Now...

If I could only get Mary back, and have the two in the same room again....

THAT would be a triumph.

oh and....we had a 1960's murder mystery...

It was AMAZING.

And, sadly, this is the only photo I have as proof! haha

Kerri made a creepilly good verison of a man, I was Mary-Jane Faithless (of course) and Nemmie there was the best pap photographer LAndon had ever witnessed.  What a shame i didn't get any more photos of everyone else!

Hec-tick-ness-ing-tons

Yowza!

So...this week has been a bit of a blur.

Our house is upside down, what with doing up the lounge, etc.  Plus it was the first day of the last year of my degree, and the last day of work, and now my first day of other work,AND I had a suprise visit from my bestie. (Which was a FAB suprise, even if the reason for said visit wasn't the most fab thang.)

Our living room is still inside out, but Robyn is coming today to plaster it all up and soon I think I'll be able to imagine it taking lounge-form again.  At the moment, it looks like a tip.  Without a permit.

So, suprise visit from the Jodes - Yay!  My vagabond friend just seemed to show up (with brief day-before planning, of course) last Friday, and it was ace to see her face and have her here.  This was not a planned visit, but was sweet all the same.  Needless to say, many a bottle of wine died in the war that was our determination this week.  It was great.  Most of the time :)

This is before we witnessed a woman peeing on the FLOOR in that bar. 

Traumatized for LIFE.

Aww, I never could pose wore a full photo...good thing akward is in..

Of course, the loveliest Kez was there too - I love this photo of her and her big eyes X

(and ACE dress)

The colours of these drinks is entirely suspicious, I stuck to the apple-juice-like boozey beverage that LOOKED natural enough...

So, I think every time I think Mini Chunk (my bestest friend...) won't/can't do anything more that suprises me - he does.

I was literally (and quite loudly) laughing out loud when I was watching him try his mightiest to sleep on a small folded pair of trousers.  He simply REFUSED to let any of his body touch the window sill, so much so, that upon getting frustrated trying to find a place for his head, he simply tucked it under his neck and put his FOREHEAD on the trousers.

I know the photo may not do it justice, but it was HILARIOUS.

omg, he's ridiculous.

Back to thcool, Back to thcool...

So, first day of the LAST YEAR of university for me was thursday.

I think I was the closest I've ever been to fainting, but not fainting.  It was intense!

I mean, I love my course, I love advertising, and I think I'm pretty okay at it....but this first day blew my mind.  The sheer amount of work that we will need to be producing is....nothing short of daunting.  And, I know that this is what professionals will demand too, I KNOW that...but I was expecting year 2 to be a bit of a transition from 1 to 3 - one would assume this right?  But no.  Year 1 and 2 were a bit of a spoon-feeding show for the lesser minds, and a bit of a bore for the more aptly minded. (I'm not saying where I fall in this category, nor am I trying to put anyone on the course down, they are all equally...interesting, and lovely.)  I suppose that no matter how much I had primed myself for what was about to happen, I was never going to be prepared enough.  I nearly shat.

However, now that I've had a couple of days to relax and think and (drink) talk to my friends about it - I'm back to being stoked again.  I have my Mad Man head on and I'm genuinely excited to do this last year.  I am not going to assume anything of my ability, and will just do my BEST, after all, that's all we can do.

Annnd today is my first mini day at the new job.  Not nervous, not excited - just, ready (?)

I've wanted to be doing something different from my old job for ages. (Which reminds me, I got a text from my old boss last night, requesting a Preston visit, so he can take me out for lunch. BOSS. In more ways than one...he's mega ace.)

And besides all that?  I'm tired.  As one could probably imagine.

And I'm missing Vancouver a bit.  (Notice I didn't say "home"?, that's because i AM home.....For now.)

Yup.

Tres tired.

xoxo

Wars With Walls...

It's official.  I hate stripping wall paper....

I get crap all over me!!

poor fireplace

Total warzone! ....That's the price you have to pay for the after love afair of renovations though....oh well - better than real work!

Was watching Tapeheads last night, which is OFFICIALLY the worst movie ever.  EVEN though it's an eightees classic - you'd think it would be another gem...but sadly not. 
this is probably its only saving grace:
