Wotaweek
Ok, so it's been a little while. Sue me.
So hey, remember me? Yes, life got away for a while there, it's been crazy.
Recap: Started new job. Awesome really, the phone doesn't ring, I can sit with my headphones on and work away merrily and I actually am getting work done! I don't have time to read the Interweb like I used to, but I am more than enjoying myself with this new team. The people are pretty cool and it's been a great change. Token I know you miss me, and I miss you guys too, but I must say this has been a very welcome change for the next few months. So thats working in my favour currently.
We got the house, the big dream one that we saw that already had a contract. Well after lots of stuffing around, the last contract fell through, ours kicked in and after 3 weeks of trying to get the bloody bank to get off their behinds and do sometihing, they came through on the very last day of our contract extension. Crazy. So Friday afternoon about 5 minutes to 4, we got the call. Yay, we're in super amounts of debt! Woot.
I have a very small belly baby wise. Nothing much happening there except some scans came back not so good, so we just have to wait and see what is happening. 8 more weeks till next scan to see if everything is developing as well as it should be. Suck part is that all this stuff happens intenally and you can't see what is going on! Can be quite infuriating really.
And it is less than a week till the wedding.
Younger sister is not making any appearance at all, older sister is pissed that we are daring to have the event at 10:30am which will interfere with her giving her child morning tea. And then lunch, why does it have to be at 12, or before then? Dont we know that she has to get Princess home for a sleep? I stood at the window while Mum was on the phone to her shouting out 'Dont bother coming, I won't be offended honest'. Mum and I have a pool going to see who on the day is going to cause a scene. Someone always does. And don't get me started on table settings. So far; in the dress making we have run out of the lace for the overskirt, my shoes are not appropriate, our MC has a cold and is hoping to have her voice back by then, my nanna has decided that she isn't too old and tired to come along now, 2 of Mum's brothers are hating each other and can't sit together or anywhere near each other, one of them can't sit with anyone else either, we have no honeymoon booked since boarding kennels for the dogs are booked out (may have found one, but only for a week), and I've almost bailed on the event twice. Plus, the one person who I thought might have the foresight to organise a hen's party or kitchen tea or whatever the heck people have these days has run off with my brother and I haven't seen her for weeks. So no celebration for me, man, wouldn't even have minded getting together with some folk for coffee!
On the yay side, this time next week I will be married, the wedding and all it's organising will all be over, we pick up the keys to the new house the next day, my older sister will be on her way back home, I'll be on holidays with Riff and we might have finished painting and cleaning this place for selling, we can concentrate on moving, baby stuff and I can go back to never hearing from my sisters again. That sounds quite bad doesn't it. It's true though, they are quite not very nice.
So fingers crossed that the week goes well. Fingers, legs, arms, toes, whatever I can cross really. Forecast is for rain, we can only hope. ;-)
