Phew...

Well well well, our time of long weekends, and bank holidays are finally over. I've become so lazy from all these holidays, that I don't know how I'm going to survive this five day work week! Last week we only had two work days, and most of my colleagues were out of the office, so it was torture to sit here in work in total silence.  I even felt kind of lonely, having to make coffee all by myself...

I didn't so much do nothing, as I enjoyed the later mornings.  I have to get up at 5am each day for work, so I'm totally spoilt now by the 8am awakenings... *sigh*

Yesterday I baked.  Scones, and chocolate cake, and made some savoury pastries.  Its my husbands birthday today - YAY!!  He's a quarter centuary old, and the family are all coming over tonight, so I had to bake - but I actually enjoyed it alot!

I love being in the kitchen, and though I would appreciate a dishwasher, at least I have a very helpful husband, who doesn't mind washing the dishes while I'm busy cooking.  Very sweet of him, hey?

Mmm... Other than that we spent our time off doing shopping - normal grocery shopping, but also shopping for my husband for a birthday gift.  He's been looking for a new sweater for some time now, and though I would prefer it be a surprize, I'd rather let him pick it himself since he's quite picky about what he wants.

We also spent some time with the families, having a BBQ, and going to Monte Casino, which was really nice.  I wish I had taken pics, but alas, I forgot my camera at home.

I guess its time that I get myself into gear, and start doing some work.  I've only made lists of all that has to be done, so I should really get myself into action. Tongue out

Hope you all have an awesome week.

Dudes & Dudettes

Hey hey, I'm back again.  I was off sick, at home, which was nice for a change.  I wasn't THAT sick that I couldn't enjoy being at home, still the doctor booked me off.  Great!!  I spent the time cleaning up the house, doing some laundry, reading a bit.  Some friends came over for coffee...  It was actually quite nice.  Funny if you think that I was actually off sick.

I managed to get the internet working at home (my new home), but I'm connecting through my mobile, so its a bit pricy, which is why I didn't blog, even though I CRAVED it.

I have been struggling to get to work today.  *sigh*.  I am really unmotivated.  Specially coz I spent the past two days lazing about, and now its nearly weekend! 

I've been on facebook today, and its such a cool site.  I know the warning signs were all there, and I guess if you're not careful people will find out awkward things about you, but I find it such a nifty tool to keep in touch with friends and family.  I'm constantly in contact with my two nephews who live in Texas, and its just so amazing.  Imagine a hundred years ago, this wasn't even someone's DREAM.  Back then merely creating a calculator would've been considered a miracle.

Okay, I guess my mind is wandering WAAAY too much.  Maybe its the antibiotics :P  I'll use that as an excuse. 

Then just one last thing...  I absolutely LOVE married life still.  I know many of you will say that its still only a month and a bit, but I absolutely love it.  I love going home in the afternoons.  I love cooking for my husband.  Doing his laundry.  And falling asleep next to him.  Its simply fantastic.

Crazy Insane Work Expectation?!? --- !@#%$@%^&

Morning on this beautiful Monday.  My eyes are a bit bloodshot, but I'm still kicking.  I spent 18 hours on the road this past weekend, so I am a bit edgy and maybe even irritated.  We had to drive to the other end of the world for a wedding this past weekend, and though the wedding was nice, I'd really prefer if we didn't have to DRIVE there - all in just one weekend :P

Other than that I'm ecstatic - no really.  I can't wait to get home, do my washing, and clean up the house.  No sarcasm there, promise.  I wish I could just be a housewife, and bring up kids.  Suppose life doesn't always work out the way we want it, or at the exact time that we want it :P

Today I actually have quite a bit of work, but I'm struggling with it.  The one is a personal assessment which I'm suppose to complete today, but I hardly know what to fill out.  What they basically require is for each person to spend their personal time to read books which are work related.  How insane is that?  There's absolutely no way that I'm doing that - I'm not a work-aholic thank you very much!! 

I feels its rather arrogant for them to expect something like that!!  Can you imagine?  Maybe if I could do it in work time, or if I had an agreement to study while working for them, but nothing of the sort!!! They believe its for my own benefit, which is a good enough reason for me to offer up my social life, and maybe even my married life, and all housekeeping.  WTF?!?!?  I might consider it if they paid for a domestic working - lol, but since they don't, I won't be reading any work books OR magazines while I'm home.  I'll be relaxing, and spending time with my husband.  Which is what I am SUPPOSE to do anyway.
