family moments captured

Its about time I posted photos from time spent with Mum & Dad.

Dad, Grumpy & I

- SUDOKU -

I've never really had a go at a sudoku puzzle before. Bought a book for like 2 dollars. Mum ended up hooked and even took it with her back to KL. Out of the 150 puzzles, I think I only did 3.



During the weekends, we would all do something together as a family. Grumpy & I decided to take everyone to the Yarra Valley - as we love it so much over there. Great wine, great food, great views..

This is a picture I took of Grumpy with the SLR camera. I am absolutely hopeless with the SLR. God help me! hahaha

This is a picture Grumpy took of me. Why must he take close-ups?!

I love white wine... I lurrrvee it so much til I can't drink red anymore!

Family picture. Mum likes this picture.

On the last Friday before they left, Dopey was at work, so I took Mum & Dad to Mt Dandenong. Which was absolutely lovely.

This is hilarious.

Mother and daughter. It was such a pleasant day.

We made it a point to have afternoon tea at an overpriced restaurant. Jam, tea, scones..
oh so bree-ish! (I mean, british)

This is us - very relaxed.

OH I can SOOO wish I could quit my stupid job and enjoy life a little bit more!

to be left alone

Isn't it odd - when I am free & available - there is nothing going on at all? No meetings with friends, no one is celebrating a birthday, no dinners, no lunches... NOTHING at all - social life > non existent.

And when there really is something to do - it all happens at once!

Like this week for example, I am completely buggered.

The girls and I came up with a last minute plan to watch Guys & Dolls on Wednesday night. It was good. I enjoyed it. But it was after work and towards the 2nd half of the musical, I was trying very hard to stay awake.

Then yesterday, I met up with a different bunch of girls for dinner and drinks after work at Fed Sq. It was good too. They are absolutely hilarious and I must admit, I had a little bit too much to drink.

Coincidently, my BFF Miss Drink-A-Lot comes down to Melbourne for work on the same day too. I catch up with her after. Have a little bit more to drink, and the next thing I know, I'm at home, throwing up in the toilet.

I go to work today with a bad hangover. First thing happens when I step in the office, my bosses PA comes hassling me to write (by hand... mind you) 10 cheques for clients. Yes, everyone has to do it. We were sent an email yesterday - asking us to come in 30 mins early for work. There has been a glitch with the system, and because of that, cheques can't be printed, so everyone has to write up cheques manually. I totally can't be bothered/ can't be fucked/ completely forgot about it. I'm like "WHAT????" I said to her "Give me 2 minutes" Then I went back to my emails. She returns 5 minutes later, reminding me she has my cheques ready. For gods sake, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! Doesn't anyone find it very embarrassing that a big company like this is sending out hand written cheques to clients? Hahaha but I write them anyways - only because I find it amusing at the same time.

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch knows I am not feeling my best after last night. She has been raving like crazy about some new TV game show, and has been trying to get all of us to watch it on You Tube.

She sends me an email...

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: Jules, did you watch it on You Tube last night?

Me: Yes I did. After I threw up..

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: So what did you think???? Isn't it funny????

Me: Yes it was hilarious.. are you kidding me? OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!! All I can remember from last night is throwing up, and falling to bed straight after!!

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: What?!???!!!

Me: You think I was seriously going to log on the Internet and watch You Tube after throwing up?

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: Sorry, but I can't sense sarcasm through email!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that, she warned other colleagues that I was to be left alone today. Hehe - only for the best of course.

Going out later again, to catch up with BFF before she flies back to Sydneyland tomorrow.
No alcohol for me tonight.
