Monkeying Around

This week was, once again, filled with friends, food and fun! And some studies too ;) I got TWO assignments DONE this week - phew what a relief! 

I also got the sweetest/funniest letter from my grandfather on mom's side. He had his 95th birthday on March 27th and had a big party. I was really sad to miss it... I'll just have to go next year! In his letter he told me how he saved a ladies life just the week before - he said she was choking and he remembered reading about the heimlich maneuver and went for it! Good thing he was there, she spit that puppy right up and told him "John, don't you ever tell me again that you've outlived your usefulness!" HAH how hilarious is that! Go Grandpa! 

I also sent my daddy a little something for his 56th birthday next week. He better not open it early!!!

The weekend started Friday arvo (afternoon ;D ) when Mags had two friends come up from the Gold Coast, Leah and Vanessa. The three of them worked on the yachts in France together for six months in the Fall of '08. What a tough life... ;) We had such an awesome time - sweet sweet girls! We'll have to make it down there next for a fun weekend in Goldie. 

Do you remember the guys that I lived with last semester at Varsity Apartments? Well they moved into an awesome house with a few other guys and had a Jungle themed house-warming party Saturday night. It was AMAZING!!! They went all out - we were incredibly impressed!

Yet again, a week to remember!

Fun yum food:

Scrambled eggs in the microwave with cheese and S&P

Roasted veggies

Zucchini baked with S&P, chili powder and honey = delish!

So, it may be fall but the grass doesn't look like this....

It looks like THIS!

I don't remember if the grass browns here...

I'll have to wait to find out!

Getting friendly with the animals

HOLD YOUR THUMBS!

We get wayyy too into "So You Think You Can Dance"

Obviously a successful elimination :)

So, as you can see, another amazing week in the Land of Oz. Next up for me, uni starts back this week - we've got two jam-packed months until exams! I'm buckling up for this one... so glad I'm already ahead :)

Homie happenings: My dad is currently in San Diego, CA with his two best friends - one from elementary school and their friend from college. Dad flew there for $10!!! Thank you frequent flier points! I'm sure those three are having an absolute blast - can't wait to hear about it!

'Till next time...... love y'all!
