1.  We're off to Pembrokeshire tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
2.  A couple of days/nights of drinking, carousing and playing parlour games with all my wonderful relatives awaits!!!!!!!
3.  I'm getting away from the inlaws until Monday!!!!!!!
4.  I won't have to smell smoke until Monday!!!!!!!
5. The bf's MG is having water-leakage issues, so we get to take my big comfy car!!!!!

Have a great time!!!

1.  Still drunk and just made a fool of myself in front of the entire village (it makes me feel better to know I won't be the only one to do it by the end of the night, but I was the first one out!)
well, do I really need to add 4 others?????
Awww, we all have those moments.

1. I got a Wii!!!!!
2. I'm finding it absurd that playing video games is actually exercise and I'm slightly sore.
3. I made Boston Creme Pie for dessert for Christmas by combining three separate recipes and it turned out really well.
4. I am going to Penzey's and Lush this weekend when I go to my aunt's house. She lives really close to both. I just hope Lush has a lot of holiday bombs and bubble bar slices left for the sale by then!
5. I got an ice cream maker for my Kitchen Aid!!!!  ;D I can't wait to make homemade ice cream!!!

1.) Longest week ever...  weeks after long holiday breaks are not fun
2.) Looking forward to a lie in tomorrow
3.) I cancelled my original Saturday plans on Wednesday because I was invited to play trombone to fill in for their original one in an orchestra on Saturday, but then it turns out they didn't need me afterall, so now I am planless for tomorrow.
4.) House needs cleaning and organisation badly
5.) Bored here at work... I need a new project to work on!
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

You're stuck with me!

I have 4 out of 5 of these... I'm just missing a trombone!   :P

1.  Most everyone has the day off today since production is closed for inventory.  So I have nothing to do, and it's REALLY quiet.

2.  Coffee made my tum-tum all jittery....  :-\\\\

3.  Have managed to get up 15 minutes earlier and eat breakfast every day this week!   ;D

4.  Will treat myself to a glass of wine tonight, since I haven't had a drink all week!

5.  Postman just showed up with loads for me to open!  Finally something to do!

1.  Roisin finally appears to be on the mend - touch wood.  Perhaps next week she can go back to nursery and I can actually do my workout DVDs.

2.  We can still pay the enormous gas bill and not be all the way at the bottom of our overdraft.

3.  I know it's supposed to be a surprise, but I know what Andrew bought me for my birthday next month!

4.  Haven't used much petrol this week at all.

5.  Thank you notes finally fully complete and in the post.

1. So very thankful today is Friday - it's been so long since I worked five straight days and my mind/body have been complaining. :-\\\\
2. Got a call from DD's school first thing yesterday morning to pick her up because she was sick - got her home and by lunch the kid was fine.  :( [smiley=smash.gif]
3. Just found out that really annoying, work-avoiding co-worker behind me is getting the axe next week. Can't say I feel too bad about it.
4. We've starting planning our next Disney trip - won't be until December 2010 but still.  :D [smiley=mickey.gif]
5. Looking forward to a peaceful uneventful weekend - we're going fishing on Saturday with a picnic lunch, very relaxing. And it's fun to see DD with her little fishing pole.

2.  I've been sticking to a structured plan of practicing my music every day.
3.  MiL coming over for lunch and a hike on Sunday.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

1.) This week went so much quicker than last week.
2.) Salsa band practice went great last night and one of the trumpet players invited me to join their big band/swing band! Yay! My life has suddenly gotten really busy with tons of musical opportunities
3.) BF and I are going to the ballet tomorrow night, seeing Sleeping Beauty
4.) Yesterday was such a good day, everything went in my favour.  Which means today won't. Ha!
5.) Amazed how living by myself I can make such a mess of my house in one week. Lots of housework this weekend.
