life and stuff (including my huge bruise)
this week has been pretty cool and looks like this weekend (and monday) are gonna be awesome too. i'm not usually a person that likes to be busy, but i haven't minded too much recently. which is probably a good thing, cos busy i have been.
i will share some highlights :)
on wednesday night i went to my friend dani's house alllll the way in herron (which is 45 mins from my house for you nsw ppl) and went horseriding. i figured out though, that it isn't horseriding that i love, it is just being around the horses. i love the saddling up and talking to the horses as much as actually riding them. especially candy. riding candy is somewhat scary. i am used to placid-horse-ring-stables-wouldn't-hurt-a-fly-type horses. candy is a lets-gallop-i-used-to-be-a-race-horse-type horse.
a bit different.
anyway, i am bruised and battered to say the least. the best bruise is this massive one on my knee from when candy decided to lean right up against a fence post, forgetting my leg came between the post and her. ouch.
but let me tell you, it is awesome having a friend with horses. i love it :)
later that night (9.30pm) i went and saw one of my favourite bands, karnivool, play in town. very late for a wednesday night for me! but they were awesome.
last night i went to sixty-two 10 (a very posh restaurant in town) with my slimming group for our end celebration thing. we did this balloon release thing where we wrote on a balloon how much weight we had lost and then release it into oblivion. i got to write 21 kilos on mine :) yaaaaaay, felt good to release that - literally and metaphorically.
right now i am slowly getting ready to see a good friend of mine get married :) i am so happy for her and trying not to be tooo jealous! i think it is going to be a good day.
tomorrow is my brother richard's birthday. he would be 24. it is weird to think what life would be like if he was alive. would we be in australia? would we have become christians? would tom and millie be here? anyway, we are going out for lunch after church. we always do something as a family to mark his brithdays and anniversaries.
monday is dad's 50th! we have organised a surprise limo to pick us up and take us out for dinner :) can't wait, i love surprises!
with all these lunches and dinners i hope i don't put those 21 kilos back on!
well this has turned out to be a very long and only-interesting-to-me type of post! hope u are all well and happy. its good to be back :)
