Rebecca Jones's Diary - Spinster and Lunatic

To combat these headaches Ive been getting the last few days Ive decided I HAVE to get out of the house today... lying in bed is not helping!
One of the girls at work mentioned she might go to the Picasso exhibit today so I might text her soon. It'll be good to go with someone who is 1) willing to pay the money and 2) isnt going to whinge all the rest of the day at how much she didnt like it.
I might also go into Borders book store today.
I might try and find The Map Shop in the City - I doubt they are open today though.

I desperately want to go to a pub and watch the Australia V France game tonite.
None of my friends really enjoy doing that. I can see it will end up being me and a few cans of Bundy infront of the TV tonite.

So now thanks to this Visa card arriving I have booked my accomadation, Jet boating in Christchurch and Helirafting in Queenstown.
All I need now is a flight from Auckland to Wellington on the 23rd of May and another one from Queenstown to Christchurch on the 26th May.
YAY!

Oh gosh Kev and I drank a fair bit last night :D
Started at O'Tooles (the Local) for steak night.
I ate STEAK! Oh god it was good!!
Got a bottle of Green Apple flavoured Smirnoff, mixers and headed home.
Boy do we love the vodka!
At home we sat around and chatted with Nyssa and new flatmate Jay (wait for THAT post about him!), then as people went to bed, we started playing this AWESOME XBox 360 game called Scene It. Its like Buzz for the PS2 but so much harder! I lost all three games we played :( I'll get better... we're taking it to Deanies Saturday night.
Oh I am officially turning nerdgamergirl... I bought XBox Live points for my own account. Heh.

Well Im hoping the Boy wakes up soon :) I want $5.45 roast lunch at the pub! I think first up I'll walk Zeke up to the shop to get dog bones.

YAY!
My $750 Visa card showed up today!
This means I can book my NZ accomadation and activities!

HUGE stress lifted off my shoulders! :D

Very great night away down the coast.
Since Kev and I are both sans car we rendezvoud (sp?) at Central and caught the Gold Coast Express train to Helensvale. 3 hours, a train, quick shop and two bus rides later, we were at check-in at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Surfers Paradise. God bless wotif.com for cheap room rates :D
After a 2hr+ stroll along the beach we headed back to the room for me, a disco nap and Kev a spa, and then we went and had dinner at the Four Winds Revolving Restaurant atop Crowne Plaza Hotel. The food was LUSH! I ate prawns, crab, mussels, oysters, sushi, calamari - oh and then veal, roast veges... THREE different desserts! :D It was all buffet you see... and its 26 levels up and it rotates ever so slowly to give you a full 360` veiw of the GC Hinterland, ocean and up and down the coast :D
Oh we were as full as! But we'd bought a bottle of rum earlier in the night and decided to just go back to the room (via the games room for a quick Daytona match (Kev won) and Air Hockey (I won: 10 v 8)) and drink. Easy, simple, no fuss. :D
We put a fair dint in THAT bottle... I think about 3/4 of it gooooone.
A lot of laughs, chat and fun :D
Somewhere in there Kev asked me out :P and I said yes :D
We woke up really well in the morning considering the pre-dinner drinks, bottle of red over dinner and the rumbos till the wee hours. We had brekkie delivered ala room service style and lazed about till 11am which was checkout time!

Shopped about Surfers for an hour or so. I FINALLY found a new wallet... its a boys Billabong one but its purple. I couldnt find ANY decent girls wallets anywhere (which will fit in a back pocket).
Got home just after 2.30pm and promptly fell asleep. Im still so wrecked! Im hoping for an early night.

Im cooking my "Vege Gumbo" for dinner to perk up my vitamin and minerals.
I bought new smelly things for the house. I like nice smells.
My dad and brother are gossips.

Well hellosie :D

Ive been working, working, working.
Its a bit hard finding my feet in Hardware. Im the little fish in the big pond again but I'll be back to full capacity in a week or so :D I have a good roster this month with no long stretches so Im happy with that :)
Stockwake out of the way again now for another 3 months.

My mouth is all good. No swelling left now.
The stitches are a little bit irritating at the moment cause the swelling is all gone, they feel in the way but will desolve over the next week or so.

GREAT news today on the money front!
My oral surgery came in at $1000 cheaper then I budgeted! (Only $1882.75) WHERE the .75c comes from I dont know! Heh. I dont now have a spare $1000, it means I dont have to FIND another $1000 and I can pay all my bill in one go (or two)
Also, cause I got 7 teeth out instead of 8 (therefore less time under general) I got $220 refunded back from the anethatist! Yay!

Last night Kev came over and we went to the local for steak night.
Oh yeah, screw shakes! Im eating! :D Just got to make sure I cut them up small enough. I still cant fang into a sandwich but I am eating solids.
ANYWAYS... So yeah... steak dinner. Mm mmm. I ate more than the fully toothed person! :P
Came back, watched SATC, went to bed, got up went to work. Easy.

I have tomorrow and Thursday off and I have just gotten an email from Kev he's booked a room down the coast so it looks like I'm heading down there tomm morning :D Yay I get away... I need it!

One week till braces :)

Been out most of the day with Kev :D
Met him at Morayfield shopping Centre at about 11am and I caught a bus home at 3.30 :D
My jaw got a little achy and I held cold bottles of water for a bit but the pain was totaly non-existant! Ive only had 2x Nurofen Plus today...
Im going to keep the ice going Friday and Saturday and buy a mouldable ice pack for work Sunday and Monday :)

Bought a few things today...
Haviana thongs
The new Marion Keyes book.
Nail polish
a top
other stuff...
I helped Kev buy new clothes :P

OH I even ATE hot chips! Mm mmmm. But I'll still shake it up for a few more days.
Ive got post-op pics to put up :)

like... I know I already own the shoe box collection of SATC discs...

DUE IN MAY!
I wanty!

So today I bought my mouthwash, drugs and new PJs :P They are flanette Cookie Monster ones.
Two sleeps to go!

SO I went and met with Roland Hammond today about getting my braces.
He was so nice and so lovely and in the end I have committed to getting them done and I should have them within the next six weeks.
So today I got a consult, xrays, moulds and photos taken. I got a referal for tomorrows appointment with the wisdoms dentist. I have to get 8 teeth taken out all together (4 wisdoms and 4 others). Im feeling a lot more confident about getting them!
So their plan is that I pay $2000 then 18 installments of $250... But I want to pay $4000 upfront to reduce those instalments.
OH AND... my initial quote a few years ago of $7000+ is now $6000-$6500. Good one!

Tomorrow night, nyssabee and I are going to go to the Normanby for dinner and flirting. I sent Nyss a whingy email today going:
Oh Nyss… What to do tomorrow night!
Im absolutely depressed about it now :(
Normanby is having a singles night…
We’re not ugly people! Why are we not having the guys lined up??!!
So we're keen for steaks!! :D and beers! :D

SO I bought:

Fantasy (w) 100ml EDP Spray $48.95
Green Tea (w) 100ml Spray $19.95
Surfume Frangipani (u) 50ml Perfume Oil $32.95
Pinacolada Surfume (u) 50ml Perfume Oil $32.95
Cool Water (w) TESTER 100ml EDT Spray $39.00

The tester is unused as well! Score!

On Saturday morning Im doing the 10,000 Steps Walk from The Gardens all around the river and ending up somehow at Southbank. Anyone want to join Nikki and I?

Oh what should I drink on Australia Day?
Im thinking Bundy and Dry... cause Bundy and Coke all day is just a bit too much!

Im tired.

I just bought 5 different perfumes from perfume.com.au with my flexichips.

Im going to bed.

I might come first again in January at work :)
