life as of today.

 

Guess what? Three days to go until I do another (very) mini triwoman. If you are in the Northshore this Sunday...I could do with some water bombing! I have no where near put in the training that I had hoped, but since I have already done one, I know I'll survive it. My SIL is coming over from Oz just to do it with me! Isn't she RAD. And I have managed to coerce encourage another friend to do it too. It will be her first so I'm really looking forward to it!

Gotta love new born cuddles!

I'm an Aunty. My little brother and his wife had their first baby, a little boy. She was such a trooper. It was a long few days of contractions and labour that ended in a cesarean. But she is doing amazingly. I'm super proud of her.
You forget how delicious newborns are!

The kids have started back at school. Hallelujah. That's all I have to say about that... As I write I have a massive grin on my face.

I've been watching Greys Anatomy repeats on Sky. Episodes have started right from the beginning. Its my current guilty pleasure. I miss George and Izzy. Just saying.

And "The Help" finally comes out on DVD this week...which means I can finally watch it. After ya'll went on about it. And before you ask...no I haven't read the book...the Movie is always better then the book isn't it? Oh, the other way around...hmm I will take your word for it.  It takes 1-2 hours to watch the movie...reading the book...2weeks to a year. Ive done the math ;)

I left my keys in my car the other day and it made my battery go flat. Who knew that could happen. I rang up one of my besties and she brought her car around to help my jump start it. I'm not sure what we were doing wrong but it just wasn't working. A gentleman driving past offered us some assistance...he literally just jiggled the handles and I started her up and she worked!  We felt silly and I'm sure he walked off feeling rather chivalrous. I'm glad we could make his day. 

I'm touched that everyone wants to have coffee with me (from my last post). I like to be liked. ♥
I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone I have neglected lately!

wanna come over for coffee?

I've been meaning to tell ya'll about my new toy. Someone GAVE this baby to us. Friends of my  In-laws didn't want it anymore, so we were the lucky recipients. It has hardly been used and came with the massive grinder.  The weird thing was I had just given my brother my old coffee that same week. I was quite content just having a plunger every morning and didn't use it much.
But now I have found my coffee mojo. Every morning I make a Latte for myself. I find it quite cathartic to make and it takes less time than I thought...and tastes so much better.

And I have discovered a great new coffee bean that I love. I ordered from the coffee supreme website yesterday and it just arrived this morning. The beans were only roasted a couple of days ago and the price is very reasonable! A 250g of coffee beans only cost $10.50. And $3 overnight postage! I am making my way through the different flavors from all over the world. 

If I had a "thing", it would be coffee. I look forward to it everyday. 

So since I'm on a FACE to FACE buzz at the moment...who wants to come over for coffee?
