The weekend was fairly good. Started off well when I got back from the gym and found my Birthday mixer had arrived (thanks to the in laws). It was about 4 times the size i thought it would be but i got all the lovely extra's! :-D so on saturday i bought all the ingrediants to make croissant dough.
The croissants themselves turned out demented. The mixer did a great job but rolling the butter between the dough was a massive pain. In the end it fucked up big time and the butter oozed out all over the bench. Oh wells. To hide the mistake i turned the croissants into almond croissants. Oh how i love almond cream! mmmm. No harm though, practice makes perfect. I'll try again another time.
Saturday night we had Mary Jane's 21st birthday party. That was loads of fun. she has a beautiful new house and she spent a lot of time and money decorating the place. There were balloons filled with 21 sequins, lolly bags and even a pinata. Her parties are always fun. Its her first time back in melbourne after living in queensland for 8ish years. All her family live down here so it was a full house! But yes loads of fun and we even got to see Monty and Nally again. Carly and i had huge fall out with those two - mostly Nally in year 10. It was nice to be fairly civil after all this time
Sunday was pretty busy also. went to the gym in the morning then came home and cooked lunch and croissants (the dough needs to rest before baking). was on my feet the entire day and absolutely exhausted by the end of it. Sunday night Ihara, one of my highschool friends was getting baptised, so mark and i went to church. Im extremely surprised by how casual people in church were. also by the numbers of youths. It was amazing. I even have to confess i quite enjoyed myself! But yes im incredibly happy she's made the decision to get baptised. Its been a long ride but im sure she'll get so much from doing it.
Monday was good minus going to work. haha. went to the gym and worked my arse off but couldn't record it because my program went missing! :-( oh wells, as i was running off to catch the bus someone called after me. It was mark! he came and picked me up which was sweet. he had a dodgy day - well not really, dodgy karate session. So i said i'd go with him next thursday cos im just as dodgy. As for the rest of the evening we plopped down and watched Spirited away which was really relaxing. It was one of the most enjoyable nights i had in ages. :-)
so that was it for the past few days. very brief bullet points, but its better i record them than not
