• I want Cadel Evans to win.
• I am considering naming my first-born son, Cadel.
• Entourage is so totally rocking my world right now.
• Ari Gold is a freaking legend.
• I want to strangle a work colleague SO BAD.
• I wish I could be completely happy with my job.
• There are a billion reasons why business and family should never mix.
• Especially when it involves money.

• I’m going shopping AGAIN tomorrow.

Sorry, that was all I could muster up tonight. I really had so many things I wanted to post over the course of the week, but funnily I can’t remember any of them. My brain just doesn’t work Friday nights.

Have a great weekend!

I’m Gonna Be Happy With The Way That I am

I can’t believe I didn’t blog about my Teppanyaki experience from two weekends ago?

It was awh-sum! I never knew dinner could be SO. MUCH. FUN.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard over an omelette or cooked rice. And I didn’t care that I had zero hand-eye coordination and zero mouth-eye coordination. Hey, I’m one of those people who closes their eyes and flinches whenever something is thrown their way!

Marc always says that I’m such a girl. Nothing wrong with that!

The food was amazing too! If you’re in Melbourne and feel like Teppanyaki? Here’s the place to go.

I’m at work now and it’s another whole hour before I can turn this damn computer off and make my way home. I’m itching in my seat. I need to get home so I can watch Entourage.

I fully admit it. I’m addicted.

Crazy Is The Forecast All Week

Okay so I didn’t post Friday night. I really should stop promising posts and then not delivering. Sorry, my bad. My excuse(s)?

• Entourage - I got home Friday night to Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of Entourage sitting next to our DVD player. SCHWEEEEEEET! It’s freaking hilarious. Needless to say, we have spent 3/4 of our weekend glued to the TV. Before watching Entourage, I’d heard about it from a couple of people who’ve said it’s the best TV show ever, even better than The Sopranos. A TV show better than The Sopranos? So of course Marc being the BIGGEST Sopranos fan ever, we both just had to find out. And yes, Entourage is awesome. I want a super famous, hot best friend. A Maserati wouldn’t hurt either.  
• I, honestly, tried to post last night between episodes of Entourage. My shitty internet connection however wouldn’t let me. I got sick of trying and was ready to throw my laptop through my lounge room window. Not a great idea, so I gave up. Scouts honour.

This weekend has been fabulous. Marc worked yesterday so what else is a girl supposed to do when her man works on a SATURDAY? I went shopping. Let me ask you girls this. When you go shopping, you have a rough idea of how much you have in the bank account right? Well, I do. So when I go shopping, I have a rough idea of how much I’m able to spend. Doesn’t necessarily mean that as the day goes along that I actually keep track of how much is coming out of the bank account. It’s a habit I have. I have a rough idea, but I don’t really know. And after I’ve bought a whole shitload of stuff (I may or may not need), I know that I should really head to the ATM and find out how much is left in the bank account. But, I don’t. I’m too scared. I wait maybe a day or two later to see what the actual damage is. I mean, it’s not like I can do anything if I’ve already blown the budget right?

So I just re-read my last post and how I’m supposed to blog about my IKEA experience? It’s really not that great a story. Pretty pathetic in fact. I’ll keep it short. For weeks, maybe months, I’ve been dying to go to IKEA but never really got around to it. Something else always popped up on weekeneds that took priority, so finally last weekend we decided to actually go. Number one big mistake? We arrived at IKEA at 3pm. When it’s at its peak. It was CRAZY. People everywhere, kids throwing themselves on the floor, crying and screaming. Furniture not in places they should be, everything just totally disshelved. It was messy. It was loud. It was claustraphobic. So after like seeing about a million things I thought looked great in the catalouge but not so good in real life, I finally saw the piece of bathroom furniture that we were after. It looked perfect. I walked all the way to the check out to pick up the furniture and guess what? They were out of stock. Halle-bloody-llujah! Oh and apparently? At IKEA? They don’t put things on hold. They’re like a “supermarket”. That’s what I was told. The entire IKEA experience was such a huge let down. I will go back to get the piece of furniture I wanted, but it’ll have to be the second those doors open for trading. I don’t think I could handle childish tantrums in a cluttered, claustrophobic room full of furniture.

Falling All Over The World

Sorry for the absence this week!

I shall be daring and go all out and PROMISE a post tonight. When I get out of this hell hole of an office. Okay, I exaggerate. It’s a hole but not so much hell-ish. But I guess it could be at times. Ninety minutes to go.  And counting.

I need to blog about my IKEA experience from last weekend.

If You Like The Way I’m Thinkin’ Baby, Then Wink At It

So happy it’s Friday. We’re going out to dinner tonight at a Teppanyaki restaurant. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am. My first ever Teppanyaki experience and I’ve heard many awesome stories about it :) I’ll let you know how it goes. I’m probably wrong but I’m picturing myself sitting across a hot stove where a Japanese chef is going to throw food at me. I need to remember not to wear light colours?

Anyhoo, a whole array of things have been planned for this weekend. A couple of weekends ago, Marc so thoughtfully made me pancakes for breakfast. From scratch. None of this pour water into a mix, shake and voila, pancakes! The guy actually measured out flour, milk and cracked eggs. Then did a whole lot of stirring. He even went on to explain that the batter needed to sit for at least 30 minutes. I asked why. He didn’t know, just that it was what his dad used to do. AWWW??!!! So anyway, this weekend I’m making pancakes for breakfast. Possibly on Saturday AND Sunday. We’re also going shopping at IKEA because I saw the most perfect piece of bathroom furniture for our bathroom. I’m also on a lookout for a ton of picture frames. Got no idea what pictures I’m going to put on our walls but I’ve got to start with frames, right? We also need to clear out our second bedroom. Since we’ve moved in, it’s become our ‘junk’ room and it’s filled to the brim at the moment. I also have a giant suitcase in that room filled with more clothes. Which worries me because my closet is already FULL. I don’t know wear I’m going to store these clothes. Oh, and perhaps in between my busy schedule, I’ll find the time to maybe go power walking? Yeah because I’ve been eating like a pig.

Have a great weekend!
