Chill out, It's nice to be alive!

Home sweet-awesome-fantastic-lovely home! After finishing up with my temp job on Friday and a busy weekend, a fantastic week of awesome things I'm extremely happy and excited to have finally made it home. It's been nearly a whole month since I've been home to the country. I've been having a grand time in Melbourne the last few weeks, much amazing food, good times. If you've seen my instagram or tumblr you'll have seen the fantastic fun I've been having! I was extreme keen to make it home today to help celebrate the baby of the family, my youngest brothers third birthday. I swear he's about five or six though. He's so intelligent! I may be biased but seriously, this kid is so clued in! So I snuck home and surprised the whole family today which has been rather exciting fun!

A few highlights of the last few weeks include...

Went to Ball Park Music last weekend. They were beyond amazing. If I wasn't already a bit of a fan I'm quite a bit more of one now! Have been listening to their albums Museum and Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs almost non-stop since seeing them at The Palace. AND supported by Loon Lake who were not only awesome but I have to say a rather attractive bunch! Epicly fun times were had! If you haven't checked these bands out do it now! First Palace experience and I'm keenly watching their line up list for someone to see there again as soon as I can!

Have been munching on many fantastic foods. That has been fantastic fun for my taste buds. Tried quail for the first time. That was just deliciousness! Along with stuffed tempered zucchini flowers. Another first which was amazingly good. So much deliciousness! Been trying out the local cafe and it's delicious focaccias. Tried some amazing butter chicken at Anshumann Da Dhaba yesterday. Having chicken parmas for dinner tonight with a home made parma sauce which I'm super proud of making and excited to consume! Gosh food is just far too good!

Went to the thousand steps yesterday with some friends which ended up being a bit of a day trip as we kind of went the wrong way before finally reaching the destination of the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk. Something that has been on my list of things to do for a very long time so I can finally tick it off! Hard work and slippery stuff but good fun with the crew I went with.

Also played in my second netball grand final for the year which the team brought home an impressive victory! So that was grand fun and good times.

Finally unpacked all my twenty-first gifts that had been sitting in my room waiting to be put in some new homes for quite some time. Did a good spring clean out and have found I have almost no pants and shorts as they are all miles to big for me now! Time to go shopping I believe!! Also just actually pulled out a lot of clothes I've been holding onto with the "I might wear that or need that some time" but that I have never really actually pulled out to wear for more than 12 months. So that felt rather refreshing!

Work was also a highlight and I feel so grateful at how it all worked out and the knowledge and experience that I gained was invaluable!

And now it's December! Where did that come from?! Time to make some Christmas lists and work out what to get everyone! It's so exciting to be pretty much on holidays finally!

Just in love with being back at home at the moment!

Sunday Summary 2/9/2012

So just had one of the best weekends! Netball team is into the grand final, so that's pretty $#$%$%&$#@$% ! ! ! exciting! I've been playing netball at this club since I was 11 and I've never had the chance to play in a grand final with them! Also got to be super proud of my superstar little sister who is my idol right now!

Also helped one of my very best friends celebrate her 21st which was a fantastic night with a music themed dress up which involved many fantastic costumes! Including the DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba, which very much impressed me. Along with a few Lady Gaga's of course! And even an iPod! That was probably the coolest costume there. This girl made it herself and put speakers on it and everything!

It also involved a bit of joint birthday celebration for my sister who had her birthday during the week. This involved some rather delicious burritos and some rather impressive ice-cream cake!

Was a bit funny, on Friday I was rummaging around to find some stuff to take home for the costume party and just happened to find my lovely hats that I bought last year. That's right. On the very last day of winter I found my lovely cosy winter hats that I obviously hadn't looked hard enough for all year! Unlucky! And Spring certainly brought us some lovely mood boosting weather! So yes, awesome times!

As far as music goes this week I have definitely been loving 360's album I purchased last week. Especially Just Got Started, Child, Throw It Away, Run Alone, Meant To Do and Hope You Don't Mind.... but I really just love the whole album.

There was one disappointing thing though. I wasn't able to get my new iPhone that I've been counting down to getting for a few months now and especially for the last few weeks since smashing my own phone. So next weekend hopefully I'll be able to fit it in. I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I even already have the cover!

The week in thousands of words...

The shoes on the left I purchased for my costume... they were the most amazing and highest pair of shoes I have ever purchased! And they were even on sale at only $20 from Novo shoes!

One of my poor neglected hats that missed out on winter!

Been really enjoying every chance I get to read this book!

Got my Grease on and went to the party as Sandy...

Hope yours was as good as mine!
