Thought(s) of the day

There are far too many bits & bobs racing through my head today, so I'm just going to bulletpoint a few key points. Trying to fluidly piece it all together into a few paragraphs seems far too daunting;

. Aimee is arriving in 3 short sleeps!! Excited doesn't cut the mustard. Ecstatic, hysterical & delighted shall suffice. We are planning 3 sweet days of over zealous banter, so much so that I expect our throats will be hoarse come Monday. 

. Saving money makes weekends unbearably boring, and worth it all at once 

. "The Goldfinch" is a brilliant read. All 800 pages left me wanting more.

. 

Friday night steak & beer night makes me abnormally happy (especially when prepared by my handsome hubby)

. 

$20 cotton on dresses also make me happy 

.

Tickets to Bali in feb are booked! Abbey & I are having a quick 5 day gals trip to Nusa Lembongan. Once again, excited just doesn't cut the mustard! 5 days of freedom, bintangs, sunburn, & cheap cocktails- who wouldn't pee themselves with pure joy?! (Oh & wedding stuff, it's clearly a business trip)

. Using Blakes bonjella for my wisdom teeth is genius 

. I have a wedding dress appointment this Saturday which I am following up with my first trip to superstar waffles. Going afterwards makes me feel a lot less guilty.

. 

My calves are still ridiculously sore after doing Jacobs ladder on Saturday, alas, the view was marvellous 

. Finding the perfect flower girl dress for B is proving near impossible 

. I'm nearly halfway through my working week already, jackpot! 

. 'Orange is the new black' has sucked Oli and I in like a giant black hole 

. Trying to convince Oli a third child might be a great idea is also proving to be near impossible 

.

Who dunnit? When I walked outside to see Blakes rabbit sprawled out on the patio yesterday I couldn't help but giggle & think of Sherlock Holmes.

. 

Finding inspiration for our very first family home is incredibly fun! Blake may have a sleepover buddy in me each night if her room is as funky as this! 

. I cannot wait until these children of ours wipe their own bums & love sleeping in

. Fresh out of dinner ideas, yet again 

Better scoot, kids are running amok! 

Au revoir pretties,

Gem 

** there's no need for a thought of the day with all of that!
