Thanks KWV for dinner in the sky.

May 29, 2011

Last week a lovely lady called Cat mailed me and my Lucky Pony and invited us to dinner in the sky with KWV wines. I immediately said yes and then wondered if I would know any other bloggers that would getting invited to this 100 foot in the air feast. In the end I was allowed to invite 2 other bloggers, so Jo and Emma-Jane were sent invites too, which I was super stoked about. We were all picked up from our houses and as it turned out in the end my friends Millie and Uno were also on the taxi.

Flip we had so much fun and we drank a lot of wine and champagne and kiwi and litchi champagne cocktails, one of my new favourite things after Saturday night.

Anyway we arrived and they strapped us into our chairs and then hoisted us up on a crane 100 feet into the air, i’m not going to lie, it was a bit flipping chilly, I thought I was going to freeze my imaginary nuts off, but we were wrapped up to the nines in woolen scarves, hats, gloves and red wine so it was all good. Dinner in the sky is an interesting affair, I can imagine being suspended near an ocean or mountain range must amazing! This was really cool because we got to see the city all lit up and stuff.

After we hung and ate, they took us to Fashion TV Cafe, now this is a place I have never set foot in before and probably never will again, it’s definitely not my scene, but they booked the whole upstairs section out just for us and we had our very own personal cocktail makers. Ha! We even made our own ones, I’m quite good at making them by the way. Yip if advertising fails, cocktail making here I come.

The other bloggers that I got to hang out with were so much fun. We’re hoping that if we ever get invited to one of these shindigs again they’ll invite the 5 of us as a team. We were all quite merry by the end of the night, which I guess was the point – point reached. Thanks KWV and Cat you guys rule some serious face!

Pancakes for Friday lunch. Nothing wrong.

May 27, 2011

Este and I had to go to Cresta to buy some props for our work party on Wednesday night. On the way home we spotted a pancake maker. We stopped. We bought. We ate. Full now, full and flipping happy it’s Friday – Take it away Rebecca Black (only one of the most annoying people and songs ever) “It’s Friday Friday Friday…blah blah blah”

We bought wigs at Cresta which Este proceeded to wear the minute we left the shop. I think the guard in Woolworths was following her around for a bit.

My beautiful brother was born 29 years ago today. He was unfortunately taken from us in a car accident when he was 17 and it’s something that my mom and dad and myself, in my our own ways deal with every single day of our lives. I thought about whether or not I should post about his birthday, thought about if people would think it was weird, but then I thought about how much I love my brother and how he’s still very much a part of my life… so happy birthday Philip, I love you and I miss you so much x

Olie Ols, I love you.

May 23, 2011

Went to Stubbs’s house the other day to visit her and Olie. We had marshmallows, Bounty bars and a peanut butter, yoghurt and banana smoothies for lunch. Holy crap, by the end of the afternoon my face was bouncing off the walls. Olie also got in on the smoothie action – he’s so beautiful and so clever, he’s totally using the straw like a gentleman ha.

Peanut butter, yoghurt and banana smoothies:

Mush up 2 bananas. Add some full cream yoghurt and as much peanut butter as you like, cause no one is looking. Then blend them all together. You can add some milk to thin it out a bit. Jo introduced me to vanilla soy milk – wowzers that stuff is delicious, it’s like drinking a diluted cloud that accidently wondered off from the pack and into a drinking glass.

Comment box all fixed, thanks to boy genius Shane.

May 18, 2011

For the last 5 days my blog has been on the fritz, no one could comment on anything and a bunch of comments on previous posts just disappeared, including the 70 odd comments attached to the Take Care giveaway. I have been so sad and I know to some it might seem like I was being melodramatic, but I was really freaked out by the whole thing, that stress coupled with me staying up till after 12 every night watching The Sopranos had me having the weirdest ass dreams ever, about Tony and comments and giant diamond rings and my blog. My brain was all over the place. But all is well now because Shane is a motherflipping beautiful genius.
