Tin or Aluminium????

Well the 10th anniversary came.....

Our day started out with gifts of clothes and lingerie....a nice card , then off to work.  We knocked off at lunch time to do some jobs together around town.....but then......

I'm still deciding --- does it count as aluminium??? (10 year anniversary emblem)

That's right - A brand new 2012 Toyota Hilux SR5!  We jumped straight into it and took it for the weekend to Hobart.
Staying in some apartments on the dock (Zero Davey) we arrived after a rainy trip surprised at how "unstressed" the driver was after what would be considered shocking driving conditions. But we were happy with it .... and still are!

Saturday morning we went out to ZooDoo to check out the wildlife.  I had a one on one encounter with a lion cub .... I expected it to be a cute little lion cub - just like a new little kitten.  Not so ---- a 9 month old 70kg fiesty and energetic fluffy pussy!  More like a .... LION!  After 20 minutes with it, I was had it ---- more adrenaline pulsing that that in a pig shoot!  There was NO way I was going to be laying down with this thing that could jump higher than me, was hyperactive....and had the capacity to eat me.  Especially after the two chomps I come out with!  Yep sure it was fun --- would I do it again!  Perhaps not.....I would if it was 7 weeks old, but not 7 months!   Both my hands were bitten (enough for me to yelp), my thigh was bitten once - enough to create a bruise and cut/now scab.  And - just for the record - my hands have itched NON stop.  Fleas, rabies, reaction - i dunno .... and I won't be having a tetanus needle just in case.....i'll take the risk! 

(sorry you'll need to turn your head on the side for this one - provided photos from the zoo are read only copy).  Headed back to the motel, where I feel asleep and woke to be given 10 long stemmed dark red roses!

Saturday evening Brielle went to Clints sisters for the night.  He had organised an hour tour in a limo through Hobart which was pretty good - would've been better if the roads weren't so windy, and my stomach so weak!  The limo then dropped us off at the Drunken Admiral Seafood Restaurant where we ate and drank lots.  Then we wandered (shivered) on back to the apartments about 100m away! 

Red lingerie, Red roses, Red teeth marks, a Red car, red cocktails......10 YEARS MEANS RED NOT ALUMINIUM!!!

May 2012

It's now may 24 2012, one day before my 10th wedding anniversary! Time sure does fly, even though at times it feels like its dragging on. Things that you hang out for take aaagggeeessss to come and are gone before we now it! On the other hand, a minute of silence takes forever! Life is what we make it isn't it?! I am now working at Telstra, trying my hardest to hear someone say 'you changed my opinion of Telstra' and trying my hardest to get a thank you from customers...some is a never ending battle. But it is a rewarding job and the day I see it isn't a challenge, everyone in australia will be content with Telstra! So it's a long term plan for me, that I am happy to embark on every day! I work with an awesome team and a boss that's even better! Specializing in business clients which is awesome because I can see an idea of mine become the basis of their success. Our house renovations are finished but I'm saving up for a new kitchen with plans something else I have dreamt up. If you need an idea, let me know and I will sleep on it! Brielle is nearly 4 now and head covered with golden curls! She is cute but sometimes that saying 'there was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very very good but when she was bad she was HORRID'....well that's pretty true! Especially lately with her attempt at cutting out her day sleep! Winter is on us again and we have the fire on. Lots of beds ad rooms for visitors so please consider the offer. Buying a new car tomorrow so that is rather exciting! The other things I have been doing in my spare time lately is the gym, sewing and craft and basically thinking up ideas for unique housy things! Til next time...I better pack for this weekend away in the big smoke of Hobart town!!!!!
