7 Days Old

My birthday was amazing! I have not had that much fun in ages. I didn't have a care in the world, all I did was enjoy myself.

I got Monday off work for my actual birthday, so a friend took me out to lunch. We had chips and wedges, played some pool, chatted for hours, met heaps of new people and then at 10pm I went home. I did not want to wake up at 6am the next day to get ready for work. Mum had to drag me out of bed.

Tuesday was no fun. I was completely out of sync and things were just not going the way they should have been. I didn't really get back into the work groove until Friday - way too late!!!

This past weekend was a friends 25th so us girls got dressed up in our dresses and went out again. We told the boys we would be going out dancing later just so they would wear jeans and a nice shirt.

The last 7 day have been a blast - completely different. I can't wait for my birthday next year

Oh my!

It has been quite a depressing winter this year. We have had the coldest temperatures in nearly a century and it has rained cats and dogs five out of sever days.
So to brighten up my day I thought I would reminisce what summer is like. I found some pictures in an old work newsletter of the view we get from our balcony. I thought you might appreciate the amazing view we have all year round - that even in winter when it is raining and pouring and freezing, it is still brilliant.


Rangitoto Island

Takapuna Beach

Yes, I know, I am extremely lucky to see this on a daily basis. It is one of the many highlights of coming to work.

6 days, guessable hours and a few minutes

With around 150 hours left until I turn 19 I thought it might be an ideal time to write a post.
I am at work right now and started thinking about 18 things I had done in the past year that I have/had never done before. Some of them are just things a normal person does, but they are all bigish deals - theres a first time for everything, no matter how big, no matter how small. There are probably so many other things that I have done for the first time in the past year, but my memory is not big enough to hold them all in the easily remember section of my brain.

So here they are 18 things I have done in the last year that I had never done before -

1. Got my full license
2. Bought a car
3. Bought a laptop
4. Bought a bedroom dresser drawers set
5. Bought a television
6. Stayed in a job for more than a year
7. Went away for New Years
8. Went to Waiheke Island
9. Went to Christchurch
10. Kept a plant alive for longer than six months
11. Started paying a mobile phone plan
12. Started playing WOW
13. Kept my bedroom tidy for more than 2 weeks
14. House sat another person’s house
15. Tried Crème Brulee and realized it is amazing
16. Ate a meal at a vine yard
17. Rode a mechanical bull
18. Rode on a car ferry


So those are the 18 that I can remember. I think I will put a list like this together each year before my birthday. It will only become hard when I get close to the half a century age. But until then I look forward to writing one each year.
