broken nails

buenas noches delightful ones!

como andas? i hope you're all dandy and enjoying the sunny rays of summer. ahem to that last bit about the sunny rays. but i'm sure things are looking brighter!

i'm a tad excited because i have just discovered that 'lost' is back! in fact, i'm 4 episodes behind!! woohoo! 'lost' marathon!! IF they actually download before christmas (crappy connection). god i'm a geek!!

anyway, had a pretty good week/weekend. work was blah. except for a couple of interesting scenarios... one of our sweetest waitresses lost it and tore off her apron and stormed out the door swearing and yelling "i quit!" (she came back the next day though and i was glad to see her). and one of the customers called me over to show me a big fat juicy slug sliming all over her fork. how did that get in her salad??

had a surprise visit from chucky last week too! he's back from korea for a few weeks coz someone broke his jaw. we ate soup (poor boy can't eat solids) and drank coffee and just blobbed around here at dad and debs for a couple of days. nice :)

had a day off yesterday so spent it with ma and the little sisters. went to the warehouse and spent $25!! naughty me, i'm supposed to be saving for sth america AND japan. sheesh. but $25 is nothing, ey? especially considering that got me a cool hoody AND a shirt. bargain :). started knitting some cool hippy slippers too, to keep my man's feet warm in the chilly jap winter.

right! that's the update. but before i go i just want to say a HUGE congrats and 'love you!' to bethy and her brand-spanking new fiance tony!!!! can't wait to see you fullas in a couple of months :) the fish n' chips are on me!

i better go tend to my nails. long nails and waitressing just don't work.

drive safe!! xxx

workin' like a dog

howdy all!

THANK GOD it's finally over. have just finished an 8 day working week and i am BUGGERED. i can barely keep my eyes open, my whole body aches and i just haven't been making much sense. not much sense at all.

but YAY! YAY i say! it's my weekend :D and.... it's an exciting one too. es is coming up! haven't seen her in ages (not since last march) so it'll be damn good to catch up with her. ranga, her and i will kick start the weekend off with dinner tomorrow night :)

but what is up with this weather?? it's so damn freezing. i'm sitting here shivering as i type this. i'm praying for one decent northland summer before i take off again.

anyway, just gotta sleep, so catch you fullas later.

muy bien pies


hola! i know it's been a while, but i've been busy adventuring again. have just had the most amazing 10 days and am now feeling a little bit like someone has kicked me in the stomach now that the little trip is over. uoooff. ger arrived from china a couple of friday's ago and have only just dropped him off at the airport again this afternoon. can't talk about it. i had such a great time - lo he pasado muy bien - that i just don't even think i can put it in words. we went camping and swam with dolphins in the bay of islands - we almost touched them!! wild dolphins! swimming with US!! we braved the rather cool temperatures and sharks in the water at matapouri. stayed with kiff and mia in ohakune and ran around in the snow halfway up mt ruapehu until i could no longer feel my legs. went hiking in the forest with snow falling all around, melted in hot springs, wowed at fumeroles and bubbling mud, ate numerous delicious pies... just had the best time, ever. i miss that boy already. so damn much.
