i have a surprise up my sleeve

I'm awful for not being able to keep my mouth shut about happy, good news.. i've dropped a few hints already.. ;) i'd like to think i've hidden them all to well.. hahaha!
Im a shocker aren't i?! LOL!
anyways...
as requested a new photo of me and my haircut?
yup. the same, just all fixed up!

thursday

this could easily turn into a very big post but here it is in short form!

1) Tia is booked in for a $85 full hearing assessment next week.

2) I went out shopping, i was going to do a big shop, get a home delivery BUT i forgot my re-usable green canvas shopping bags. doh! and also realised there wasnt any urgency for food anyways.

3) I found a nice new pair of black pants! they are quite odd in that the waist band
can roll done/up. no fly or buttons (or belt loops) they could easily be mistaken for maternity pants! (as they cover the belly if unrolled!) Theyre called 'bengal pants'

4) i decided i'd go to the hairdressers!!!! *dont die of shock there!!* (i dont like salons!) i sat down and waited, i knew which person i didnt want to get and of course i ended up getting that hairdresser.

5) i got shampoo, cut and blowdry for $32.. i did not think that was possible! ah the wonders of 'just cuts'!

6) the woman was brutal, it must be coz my scalp should be getting sensitive?, the way she dried my thick long hair ended up giving my hair knots which she would brush out.. OWW!!!!

7) its been years since ive been to a hairdresser. in that time i had a church friend who is a hairdresser, she did my hair for the wedding and when i won a makeover at a church raffle.

8) I visited DH work. He didn't notice my hair cut!!!!!! LOL!

9) We went out with Dh boss & his wife (who also works there as a boss) do you know any employer that is truly that generous?! it was to celebrate DH 30th birthday! We got picked up in their nice mercedes 4WD 6:15pm(i didnt know mercedes made 4WD) with lovely leather inside! Went to a italian resturant called Michelangelo's.

10) we had a garlic focaccia bread (that was round), they had marinated olives, salt n pepper squid and i tried some dukkah and turkish bread. tia had a kids lasagna and salad. Tia and i had pineapple juice and the others had some nice wine.

11)i had chicken parma, james had a steak..

12) they organized a sparkler in a scoop of icecream for the birthday boy.

13) we got dropped off around 10pm! it was a really good night, altho the men could have talked for hours and hours if we had let them! ;)

14) i had the worst night sleep ever!

7 random facts about ME.

Am i very behind in doing this? yes and i got reminded bout it today. i was tagged by Maria and reminded by Emmas blog. apologies for being uber-lazy.

1. I havent yet found anything i am allergic too.. altho i choose to be 'allergic' to seafood so people wont bug me to eat it.. im strongly against eating seafood..bleh (i cannot stand the texture of fish)

2. weve been sleeping on a inflatable mattress.. as our bed is still at mums with the rest of our stuff. ho-hum. its not too bad actually... lol

3. i hate when my neighbors decide to take their wheelie/trash bins down the noisy bumpy driveway at 3AM. NOT COOL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

4. im suckered in by good advertising or marketing.. (just not the people at the shops who want to stop me and get my phone number and put me into a 'free' competition or lather some hand creme on my hands with the same hands they did with 20 other people.. or who want me to get another credit card.

5. i currently own 2 pairs of shoes. cant remember if i threw out the others or if they are at mums.

6. the most south in australia i have been is frankston/Melbourne (previously was Cooma) the most north i have been is cairns! the most inland or west i have been is jerry plains nsw.

7. i have a fear of hairdressers!! (combined i guess with trusting them with my hair and then what they will charge with long hair! *dies*) i have not been to a hairdresser salon for 10yrs! i did win a makeover and the hairdresser was a friend of mine (and it wasnt done in a salon) i can do most of it myself anyways for a fraction of the cost!
