The real life.
Mar. 18th, 2010 08:12 pmHmm, so. Updates.
Worked from 7.30am to 6pm today, which is nothing compared to my S.O. who left at 2.30am and still isn't home (and it's currently 8.15pm).
Going to a wedding on Saturday & have been manipulated into making 3x trifles for the reception dinner. Bought some lovely big crystal bowls for displaying them and then had an aunty ring me to make sure that my bowls would match the rest of the serving-ware... Honestly, when you're attempting to match bowls, you're taking things a bit seriously. Especially considering that this wedding has kinda been thrown together over the last couple of months. Still, it'll be nice to catch up with everyone, and the bride & groom deserve a nice day.
Got my exam results back, and it was a very good pass mark, so I'm happy about that. Doing two papers this semester, which doesn't seem like a lot until you realise that I'm working 45 hours a week at one job & helping my partner run a business & doing most of the chores at home. Makes for a busy week.
Heading to Rotovegas on Easter weekend (4 days off, woo) to spend some time with Mum & my lil brother. I'm very excited about this, mostly because it means I can finally box up all my Dick Francis, Patricia Cornwell & Lee Child books and bring 'em home.
Speaking of home, my partner and I are currently looking for a new place to rent. This one is okay, but it's kinda small and _old_ - now that we have a fair bit of extra income, we're looking to upsize. But OMIGAWDZ is it hard to find a place that fits my S.O.'s demands... Must be newish, 4 bedrooms, with a garage & backyard, no shared driveway, close to the motorway, close to a bus stop, close to my work, etc etc. I think I've found one place that might be worth looking at (out of about 100 local places for rent), but co-ordinating our schedules to actually go and inspect it is gonna be a mission.
Today was clear and cold; summer is definitely heading out. That's fine with me, as it means I get to start wearing jackets & scarves. I love my winter wardrobe.
