happy australia day-boxing day........

lol running joke with myself and jawsome. don't even ask.....

well the weekend passed in a bit of a blur. there was a workmate's belated 21st on saturday night. jawsome and i went to a mates first and started drinking with them there, and then we walked to the party cause it was only about 10 houses down.

got there and found out there was free booze. i dived in and nabbed myself a cruiser. and then found myself wandering off and chatting to people. i only do that when i'm drunk. lately i've just been really shy. it's weird.

but i digest...... *lol*

we looked up and these huge clouds started rolling over us really quickly, so there was a scurry to get tarps set up over the hired music gear. we got it up just in time. it came bucketing down. the tarps got weighed down with rain, i got soaked. laughing the whole time of course.

someone set up a spare tarp in the vacant lot next door, and they put morning fresh on it. of course jawsome had to have a go. he's now sporting a rather impressive grass burn on his hip.

after a while we decided to get some kfc. then jawsome wanted to go home and sleep cause he was working the next day. the rest of us got dropped back at the mates place to get more booze. as we stepped out of the car, i felt a slight pain in my ankle. then i realised i was on the ground. in a puddle....... in slight pain, but giggling my head off once i realised where i was sitting.

one of our mates went to bed so it was just 2 of us left. never thought i'd be the last one standing out of seasoned drinkers......

we staggered back to the party and sat some more and chatted to people. then we got bored and went back to sleep.

then sunday i gave the dark twin a manual driving lesson just around nabs. she was really really nervous, but still did well. she can drive, she just has to practice the starting and stopping and get used to using a clutch.

but if there was an emergency, she can now drive a manual. yaaaaaaay!!!!!

she was just happy that i didn't yell or get mad at her. i think i made her feel pretty much at ease. i even stepped out of the car and made her do it without me being in there with her. she even tried a 3 point turn on her own. took her a while but she did it.

we ended up taking light twin and their mum for a drive to maccas for lunch. there was a slight hiccup at a roundabout and she started to get flustered, but now she knows she can do it.

and yesterday.... we were back at our mates place and their nephew was there. he's such a cutie. so that's what i'll call him.

we took Cutie to the little beach at the end of our street and he had fun running around for a couple of hours. we each took turns babysitting him. jawsome and i took him for a walk while we went to check out canoe and kayak hire prices for closer to my birthday.

Cutie also became very well aquainted with a cute pup that was sniffing around near us.

after a while though, little Cutie started to fall asleep so we all went home and put him to bed while we drank some more and watched tv. and that was pretty much it for the rest of the night. i went to bed early cause i was tired and my ankle was still giving me hell. even now i have it strapped up cause it hurts whenever i walk on it.

so right now i'm sitting at the desk, my foot rested on the bed, listening to my various disney cd's. yeh.... i'm a freak. lol.

i also have my special ricey thing that i made. it tastes so good and is really easy to make too. i have to make it just for me cause it's healthy so of course that means jawsome won't eat it. i'll post the recipe in a fresh blog, so it's easier to find if anyone wants to try it.

but yeah that's about all i did on my weekend. and i got the battle scares to prove it. lol. yay! my first drinking-related mishap!! i'm all grown up!

oh and i also took skin off my knee......

I'M AWESOME!!!!
