Wiiiiiiiii!!!!!
I can't believe I haven't posted for a month! I'm so sad that Facebook has sapped all my Livejournal time away. I must rectify this beginning immediately.
But then, maybe I just don't have a lot of news or am too busy to share!
Yesterday, Pete and I decided to cancel our upcoming 4-day-weekend to New Zealand. I've been to too many main cities in this part of the world lately, and I'm sad to say they all start looking the same after awhile... a pedestrian shopping mall in the middle of town, a few nice cafes, a waterfront. Blah.
We were meant to be going just to get away from home for my birthday, but there was another underlying reason: Emirates has put its A380s into service, and Pete wanted to try the first class suites and the shower! It would be interesting, but in the end we both decided it wasn't interesting enough to warrant the cost for a mere 4-day-weekend, so we canned it...
I told him he could buy me some new junk for my birthday instead that I could use for a lot more than 4 days.
On the agenda, a Wii, that I've been wanting for a long time for the Fit program.
Well, I got that yesterday, and am already LOVING it! Why did I take so long to get it? It's brilliant!
The other thing is a new camera, since mine must be 3 or 4 years old and behind the times. I'm going to get the new Ixus 100 IS. Very nice. Not too expensive. 12.1 megapixels, much more than I need, but for the price, what the heck!
And for my birthday, I've told Pete he can go overseas early so I can have some good, quality alone-time! I'm going to take the day off work... it's a Friday... wake up late, take the dog down to the park in what hopefully will be the sunshine, and come back and sew, while watching re-runs of Sex and the City all day! Gee, I must be old, I would have gawked at that plan when I was half this age!
But alas, I'm much older now, and happy to have some peace!
My plan is to use up some of the denim I have on a couple pairs of pants, and then move on to make myself a formal outfit for our cruise in September. I'm thinking velvet on the bottom, something shiny and colourful on the top... and trousers, not a skirt or dress! I'm looking forward to it.
I've worked out that store-bought patterns just slow me down, so now I just make things from scratch, basing the sizing on items of clothing I already own. It works out very well.
OK, starting tomorrow it's back to the gym twice/week, and the Wii 3 times a week on the non-gym days! Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
