It was another scorcher over here, Saturday was aptly renamed sweaty Saturday. My girlfriend Keryn & I had plans to paint the races red, this was a special occasion for her in particular as it was her very first proper outing without her daughter since she was born a year ago!!! So we got all dolled up, frocks & hats & heels- the whole shebang. I don't even remember the last time I put on make up like that- and let me just say, I have not missed it. It didn't help that it felt like it was running off my face before I had even applied it properly.. But it was so nice to actually spend time doing something girly like that for me, and feeling somewhat "pretty" for a change. I had a bit of a last minute freak out on Thurs though as the dresses I thought I would just chuck on & wear all didn't fit. Surprise surprise. Forgetting I'm front loading is a daily occurrence around here. A shopping trip was the obvious answer to this dilemma, I guess if I have too.... ( :D) Normally when I go shopping for a new dress it takes weeks of cramped changing rooms & sucking in before I find the right one, but luck was on my side this time as I found a bright & well fitting number at my first destination- Portmans. After discovering it was also half price ($50!!) I knew I'd found the winner;
I didn't actually get a decent full length pic on the day so this bedroom selfie will suffice. As long as my boobs, belly & bum fit in nicely, I'm a happy camper.
The day was gloriously warm and we had a ball pretending to be free agents for a few hours. The only real downside was everyone drinking their icy cold beers around me all bloody day, god they looked so good. That, and the fact that I was too scared to leave my plastic seat incase of sweaty butt cheek marks on my dress, apparently every girl was in the same boat, hilarious!
All in all it was a lovely day with lovely company & we left feeling like we used to pre-baby, well Keryn did as she was more than a little tipsy with a serious case of the giggles..
I was pretty buggered by the time I got home later that afternoon, as the sun stole all my energy again. And I don't know why I expected a tidy house & bathed/ fed baby upon arrival as that has never happened before, but I was still disappointed to find a pigsty & a greasy infant in serious need of a splash. They were both happy though so that was the main thing, I was grateful all the same (but next time if Oli wanted to surprise me with a sparkly clean house & a clean and fed baby there would be no objections here!)
Sunday involved our new routine of going to the Fremantle markets to get our weekly produce first thing, we were in and out within half an hr as that place is nuts!! But man it is so cheap. We got a broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber & spinach from one stall and when the cashier said "that'll be $6" I was sure he'd miscalculated, but nope- it's just the supermarkets over charging us by so much that I almost expect every broccoli we buy to be $5 alone. So that was fantastic! I also purchased some fresh buffalo mozzarella and rocket & plan on making my fav summer 'caprese' salad for lunch today, super excited. I get very excited about food.
Later that afternoon our friends Danielle & Abbey popped around for a catch up & to meet Blake. We hadn't seen either of them in years so it was lovely to sit around and yarn with them for a couple of hours.
Before we knew it, the sun was down and once again- I couldn't be bothered cooking (story of my life). Hello KFC. I really felt like a twister & Olis arm never needs twisting with the colonel so that was that. It came with the usual side of guilt but meh, I'm already in holiday mode as far as I'm concerned. We followed up our nutritious meal with a movie, "The Conjuring"-
We never get to watch horrors around here, someone is a secret scaredy cat. Not me either. I friggen love them! This one was alright, it didn't give me the creeps as much as I would have liked & was very similar to "The Amityville Horror" , but it was entertaining all the same. Im not sure how much Oli saw from underneath the duvet though so his opinion probably wouldn't be justified..
That was my weekend in a nutshell, I would definitely call it a success. Now Monday has arrived, which only leaves 4 sleeps until we depart!!! We (I) have so much to organise before we go, including spring cleaning this entire house & buying a mountain of packaged baby food, & hopefully finding some togs that fit my lady lumps in. This week will be fairly chokka, but fingers crossed it flies by & Friday is here in the blink of an eye. I'll be keeping you all updated on our week but will be logging off from all social media once we leave, but don't fret as I'll be back with a mountain of snaps and stories to share.
Meanwhile, happy Monday all!
Haha, I hope you're all happier than her.
Thought of the day "4 fucken sleeps!!!!!"
