Updatey.
Funny: Vernon went to blow his nose this morning on some toilet paper, I was alerted to the fact that something was wrong when I heard a shout over the blow drying of my hair - apparently the light was off and he felt the huntsman (big hairy spider the size of your palm) as he put it up to his nose, LOL! Does that ick people out sufficiently?
Hockey: Vernon and I are playing a season of social summer hockey with a team from my church, we had our first game on Sunday. I have never played Hockey EVER BEFORE and found that I was actually a lot better than expected - ie, I can hit the ball! However, the fact that neither V or I have been doing any form of exercise for quite some time (my last trip to the gym was around 3 months ago) meant that we are both INCREDIBLY sore. I don't expect to recover until our game next Sunday! Hah. Walking is a problem, going down stairs is near impossible, me thinks stretching next time would be a good idea... oh, and there is the little fact that I had night duty on Saturday night, got hom at 830am Sunday, slept for 2 hours, then got up to get to Hockey training at 12 noon for the game at 2pm... I felt REMARKABLY good considering!
Birthday the other week was good. V took the day off to surprise me and we just hung out and relaxed. We seem to do so much running around between the two of us with our jobs and families that taking a day off to do nothing is PURE LUXERY. Plus he bought me flowers, bacon and eggs for breakfast, cheese and biscuits and wine for the arvo. Loely, LOVELY boy :D AND my actual birthday present is a trip up to do the Gordon River cruise in strahan (West coast of Tassie) as soon as we both have a weekend that it fits into! Matt and Mel have promised me breakfast and my parentals got me a digital camera - a Fugifilm Finepix F480, nice and slimline with 8.2megapixels and 4x wide zoom. I really did get quite spoilt :)
And yes I am aware that just about everything I say relates in some way to V, I guess that's what happens when someone becomes involved in pretty much every aspect of your life.
I had a day off yesterday, so popped down to the beach, grabbed some lunch at citrus moon cafe and went for a walk. Absolutely lovely. Just what I needed to sit in the sun, sip a latte and have some relaxing alone time :)
Work/Study: What's that again? If I actually get the course work done for the HDU course it will be quite a miracle! I'm certainly going to have to get head down and bum up. Mmmm, I guess at the end of the day it's just not that important enough to me to motivate me to try hard, if I get it done I do and if I don't, I don't. Im planning to quit mid december (when the course work is done) because I HATE THE PLACE. Too stressful and too many self-imposing personalities. I'd like to be there a couple of days a week, but that'd certainly do me fine.
Enough for now, but for those of you not on my facebook (ie, LISA), here's a picture of Vernon and me:
Sorry to those that don't want to see it, I never seem to be able to lj-cut pics for some reason... anyway, that was Sunday just over 2 weeks ago out at conningham beach.
