Boxing Day in March!

FAVORITE BLOG OF THE YEAR!!! So far :)

The weekend started with a bang - Maca and I went to a friends birthday party. I got home from work and was informed that we were going to a party and leaving in 20 min - HAH talk about preparation! We had a great time - started at a friend, Barnes', house... Sang out hearts out on Singstar... Taxi'd our way to the bank to get cash out and went to Fridays at The Wharf. We had a great time... dance dance danced, went to Simon's (Maca's boyfriend) for a swim and went to sleep. Great success :)

Singstar!!!

This was either Disney or Rock

Work it Maca!!

This week was feel with lots to do and lots to look forward too. Uni has been kick started, I already have assignments on the way! I am going to need to study more than ever this semester. I don't just have tough classes, most of them are completely foreign to me... like History and International Business. With so much work, a girls GOT to have a little play... right?? We'll get to that later ;) Excitement began on Monday with a postcard from Madrid! Sweet Kreekree knows my love for Spain and sent me a beautiful postcard filling me in on her trip. She is currently studying in Brussels, Belgium for the semester and she has been conquering Europe! London, Amsterdam, Spain, Canary Islands, Paris and so much more! Get it girl!!!

Beautiful postcard- THANKS KREE :)

Next is meal planning... because the funds are getting scarily low I have been very aware of where my money is going. Yes yes... aside from bills its all going to FOOD! A girls gotta eat ;) So this weeks meal consisted of Chicken Pasta Salad (CPS)! For those of you who have not indulged in the simple, cheap yet to-die-for meal, you are certainly missing out! All CPS consists of is diced chicken, spiral pasta, colorful capsicums (peppers), cucumbers, green onions, and frozen peas :) A near tragedy occurred this week regarding CPS... I got home and realized I forgot the FROZEN PEAS! Seeing as they are vital to the completion of this glorious meal, I trudged through the pouring rain to the Night Owl just for these peas :) Trust me, it was worth it.

Peas please!

Just an example of the

monsoon I've been talking about...

Next order of business.. I got home from Uni to an urgent phone call from Cat. Apparently her horses paddock was completely flooded and Willow (her horse) was up to her tum in water! So horse rescue it was. Seeing as Cat didn't have much option, Willow became a backyard pet for the night! Hah - she did warn the neighbors first, don't worry! By the end we were all soaked to the bone!

Gorgeous Willow

Not quite beach weather...

Friday night = Mary Kay Party!

Saturday Morning = proper breaky :)

Bacon, sausages, hash brown, pancakes, berries and veggies

It was amazing but I ended up saving half for dinner

Flowers from Cat :)

Okay this is where the fun comes in... My good friend, Cat, volunteered for a charity boxing match: Police vs. Firies. The charity was called Toe 2 Toe, building ramps for residents who aren't able to climb stairs. They had a few of the people in need at the match, announcing each round. Great charity and awesome event! It was organized by weight class, least first... and the least were 7 year old boys. I did NOT like that! I felt so uncomfortable watching children punching each other but as they got older, I enjoyed the event much much more :) 

Mags, me and Mac waiting for the start

Go Kitty go!

Our epic signs :)

The wayyy too young boys

Yes, the forensic crime scene photographer

was the photographer for the event!

Bigger boys... feeling much more as ease.

I think the rest of the ladies in the crowd would agree ;)

RESULTS: After three months of intense, daily training CAT WON!!!! We were all incredibly proud - she definitely deserved it :)

Her trophy and the sign

I've been desperately trying to upload the video of the match I took but youtube has been very uncooperative. As soon as I have a link, I will copy it to the blog - you have to watch it! I've got to buckle down and start my assignments... lots to do! Lots of love!
