Fantabulous weekend :D
well, all in all, this has been one of the best weekends I've had in quite some time :)
It started off with my arriving home rather grumpy on friday night, I really don't like Melbourne traffic...mixture of bad drivers, bad pedestrians and rude people. The trip home from work really tests me so was extremely snappy towards Luke and Mike when I arrived home. Anyhoo both were patient and Mike gve me a massage, bless his cotton socks :) we chilled for a bit and it came time to get ready to head to brown alley. I was quite content on the couch however Mike hadn't had a dance in AGES (neither had I really) and we saw J00F a couple of years ago in Sydney on our first evor date. So I sucked it up (after more whinging) and Luke gave us a lift into the city. It was damn hard trying to find a bar where we could wait for everyone else....I thought Melbourne was the city of bars.....where were they?! Any hoo we eventually found one on market st and once I got the phone call from Nursey we headed back to King st. Similar to everyone else, we were a little disappointed with J00F but M.I.K.E. was aweomse :) haven't heard great trance in a while! Woulda been nice to have something to go with it but everyone seemed short so I made do with a (fair) few drinkies :) was great to ahve a boogie and I know Mike enjoyed himself :) was also great to dance of the entire pizza I had for dinner! I have been eating so much lately! do not know what is wonrg with me!!!
We jumped into a tax about 3.45 and got flashed by a fellow punter that looked like she just had her tits done. They were a nice size, but looked overly round and fake. Unfortunately Mike missed it but the taxi driver thought it was a hoot! we crawled into bed trying to be quiet and had a rather broekn sleep due to too much red bull. Eventually got some though and it was so nice to wake up next to Mike the next day :) was went to the tim burton exhibition which was great but there was a lot of people I loved seeing alices "red dress" up close and personal. it is Divine! then there was sushi for lunch, cake for dessert, back home for a nap on the love sac and out to dinner with my sister and her husband, which was Japanese in Moonee Ponds. Fantastic food and lots of it for just $25 each, then to Lygon st to Brunetti's for dessert (Argh! so much food AGAIN!!!) Was great seeing my sister and her Luke, really nice having some famiily here. They can't make it to my graduation in two weeks so it was nice to celebrate with them. Was very proud of Mike, he used chopsticks for the frist time :) Was also great having chats to Kate (my sis), she filled me in on a lot of gaps of my childhood. Mum used to always say I stuggled with learning difficulties, she said I had passive ADD (I'd tune out, and not pay attention but I wasn't a little shit) and I remember going to educational psycologists, speech therapists and paediatric physios from a young age. Sometimes though a lot of it feels so long ago that maybe over time I've made some of it up and not realised. but Kate confimed that it all happened and it was all real, even the part of showing signs of cerebral palsy as an infant (hence the phyiso). I don't know much about how the human mind works but I reckon that and the learning problems is all interrelated. I don;t want to sound full of myself, but it makes me feel all the more proud of what I've acheived. Mum never knew I even started my doctorate, I know she would be so proud of me now. It will be so hard not to have her at my graduation, especially for all that she has done for me.
Ahem sorry about the sappy stuff, digressed a little! So after dessert Mike and I came home and I was feeling ill so went straight to sleep. slept SO WELL!!!! there was no snoring from him and it was sooooooo nice to turn over and give him hugs while sleeping. We slept in till midday , drifting in and out of sleep, having great sex and pillow talk :) We then battled the rain and drove up to Hellinic Republic on Lygon st to meet up with other friends for an AWEOMSE lunch. Seriously one of the best meals I have EVOR had! It was $55 a head not incl drinks but by golly it was worth it. There was 10 of us so it was a set menu, but there were 4 courses, so all breads and dips and vine leaves and croqettes and hams, and seafood and salad and saganaki and lamb and tzaziki and chips and greek donuts and YUM!!!! HIghly recommend it to anyone who is up for a nice special meal, however book ahead, it gets really busy! Then it was straight to the apirport to drop Mike off tho hung there for a bit as his flight was rather late. Miss him like crazy already but I know he enjoyed the weekend as much as I did.....was the perfect balance of family, friends and relaxation :)
On a completely different topic is anyone else interested in coming to the Titanic exhibition next weekend? At this stage I'm thinking Sat arvo. Luke A and Luke D are keen. I'm gunna get the tix later this week so let me know by Wed if you're also interested. and just fix me up on the day.
How you all had a weekend as good as mine :)
