Happy Vday 2010!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Now, before I continue, I must justify my delay... I strongly contemplated blogging on Thursday but I realized that I just didn't have any good pictures yet. And with Valentine's Day just around the corner... well, you know ;)

So anyway, pictures may have been lacking, but events have not! Last week was filled with work work and more work :) YAY! The job is for real tough but I'm really enjoying it... keeping me on my toes. Even when I'm not at work, I'm still writing letters, calling business and I'm currently working on a yearly action plan. So yes very busy... I will have to get pictures from work in asap - the cafe is so cute! 

I finally got my Zumba in! Mags, Maca and I have had quite the time learning latino dance moves and breaking a sweat - it is SUCH a good work out. I love it :) Mags and I also went a two hour walk last Friday. We got a few suburbs down when it started pouring. I'm sure it was hilarious watching us run for cover but the rain was much faster than us... but ehh we were sweaty anyway. We called and called the roomies for a ride home but, no luck. It was quite a walk home!

After this "exciting" walking, sweaty, rainy experience I was in the mood for.... a BigMac!!! Those you know me the best know that I have one hamburger a year and it is always a BigMac - this was my fourth annual and it was great! Fulfilled for another year :)

Contemplating my decision...

Random excitement - gecko in the bedroom!! Fortunately Maca took care of it... Thanks Mac :D

Just a baby!

The week ended with Karaoke (very tough word to spell...) Night at O'Malleys! Unfortunately there was no singing from us - we didn't want to show the others up ;) But really, they were quite good! The night ended with a DJ so very good all in all - or so I was told... Hmmm 

He was so good!

Sunday Session

Moving on! The week continued with heaps of work and Zumba! Maggie and I go for walks and to the beach quite often and I always intend on bringing my camera but I forget... I will try harder from now on. The beach is so beautiful - you deserve an updated picture. 

Valentine's Day was full of excitement! It started off at the Cotton Tree Markets and then skateboarding with Ben - HAHAHA Ben asked if Mags and I wanted a go and, why not? It was so fun! I had no idea I would be so keen on skateboarding - even if I was freaking out the whole time :/ Still, very good experience. Mags and I are basically pros now ;) 

Smoothies in Cotton Tree :)

Pro.

Mags needed a little help at first...

Go Maggie go!

Steady now...

WEEE!

ROCKING THE BOARD!

True gangstas of the hood

We went home and chilled for a bit - literally. We were dripping with sweat when we got home, it was unbelievably hot today. In the mid 30's for sure, 90's Fahrenheit. Phewwww! We had a bbq in the evening with a few others. My boss made these $40 Hamper Packs for Vday - it was sooo much for so cheap! 2 x: wraps, sushi,  pasta, salad, fruit, yog(h)urt, muesli (oats/granola), muffins and Vitamin Water. Super sweet deal :) The others went out afterwards but Mags and I held back - she's skyping her parents and I had a blog to put up! Keeping my priorities straight ;)

Reptile #2!!! Massive Iguana!

Cute cute Hamper Packs

Beautiful Mooloolaba!

My nearly rescued puppy....

Fortunately it's owner FINALLY

showed up... I selfishly a little sad.

I think that about sums up the past week a half... Mags and I are taking her car to be serviced tomorrow and beaching it. Oh, and I have been reading reading reading! Loving it - I'll post a pic of all my books next :) I'm sure a few more exciting things will come around, but you'll just have to wait for that! I love y'all tons - missing you more than ever

P.S. Sorry about the unnecessary underlining... I'm not sure what the deal is
