2011 Rule.

I can only shop for new and unnecessary clothing items every SECOND month. I'm absolutely positive I'll struggle but have a little faith.

XOXO The Little Engine That Could

24/12/10 Melbourne Zoo :)

I had a gooooddd day! Best in a while actually :)

Significant other and I watched the gorillas get fed, a seal show where they showed us how they trained them and gave us a little education course about how to recycle out recyclables, they even had the seals fetch empty plastic bottle from the enclosure and bring them to a yellow wheelie bin they had put inside the enclosure. There was a baby elephant too which was possibly the cutest thing I've EVER seen! There were some tigers which weren't fully grown yet and we watched them run around and play with each other (mind you, if my brother and sister played with me they way they did, I'd be dead. Too rough for my liking). The boy likes the meercats- yes, we sat and watched them sit on each others faces for half an hour.

Boyfriend.

And everything was ALLLLRIIIGGGHHHHHT :D

New Years Eve 2010/2011

Up until I today, I actually HAD plans. But then they fell to pieces. A friend purchased me a ticked to NYD festival and then I assumed the gist of the night would be something a long the lines of hanging out in her inner city apartment and then maybe going out in the city and watching fireworks. Something along those lines. Now, she has to work so we had to sell our tickets! All my other friends are going to various places in QLD or Yarrawonga/Lorne, Falls Festival, or Pyramid Rock Festival.

I WILL NOT be spending NYE or NYD alone, I refuse. I am therefore going to attach myself to the boy and hope he isn't doing something overly boyish. After texting him today about it while I was mid heart attack, he seems to have no plans set in stone so I guess I can rest a little easier now.

Busy busy week by the way! Work is hectic as it usually is around this time. I have a hundred appointments, my sisters basketball grand final- tonight actually, dinner dates to see people before actual Christmas and the break over the new year. God help me.

Christmas '10 Wishlist.

Wants:
New sheets. Nice ones, REAL nice.
Camera cover.
Couch.
Entertainment unit. When I moved in, I was poor so I put my T.V at the end of my bed and just threw bean bags in my living area to accommodate my degree from the Victorian school of Discotology and the costs that it incurred.

I don't really have a whole heap of things I want for realistic presents. It doesn't help that my birthday is less than a month prior. More just things I need that otherwise I'd just purchase myself. That being said, at the moment our car parking for work has been taken away and I think I've purchased something almost every day I've worked just because I have to walk past the shops so often. Bad habits, I guess I could have worse ones. I should really start being all thankful and appreciative. It is Christmas after all, time for all things holy.

Gifts I'm giving:
2x Gold Class Vouchers + Village Cinema Voucher to cover the cost of food & drink.
Yoga mat, KiKi K 2011 planner & CD.
Tattoo Voucher.
Leap Frog learning gadget/book thing.
Boxes of chocolate.
Diabetic cook book.

I THINK that's all. I THINK.

My other favorite weekend.

My birthday!

I love gifts, especially when I don't know what they are! I got a new digital camera, some clothes, a new blender that I wanted for summertimefuntime breakfast smoothies, pennies for my overseas trip, and a summerdayze ticket.

The boy took me to Goldclass to see Due Date which was HILARIOUS. We ordered ridiculously expensive food, mini burgers, wedges, cheese platters, coffees/hot chocolates because my taste buds don't appreciate caffeine. Oh, I am also getting earrings just as soon as I harder up and re pierce my ears!

I also had a bit of a girly night with my female bestest friend. We hung out in an apartment and got crunk as we do best. It got till about 4 and then some old friends I used to party with sent me a text and suggested we go meet them at a certain place on Chapel St. Which we did.

Another friend also took me to see Harry Potter 7, Part One :)

My favorite weekend of the year.

Stereosonic, Royal Melbourne Showgrounds.

This is kind of a strange thing to hold in such high regard but it seriously is the time of year I have the most fun. It was the first proper event I ever really went to and it's really the last fun time I get before work gets really busy with Christmas and all my friends get really busy with family stuff etc...

This year was super great too because my best friend had just moved into an new apartment just off King St in the CBD which made getting to and from sooo much more convenient even if you disregard how much cheaper it became too!
