Heading North

Southland...

Photos to Come

I will post pictures in the next few days of my totally AWESOME trip to Southland!

I'm not at work today, I've got an appointment in Hamilton with my surgeon...I'm *hoping* that today she will give me a date in the next few weeks to take the lump out of my hand! It has been driving me insane for over a year now - painful to grasp anything in that hand, or even wash my hands. I'm hopeful that she will be able to do the surgery in the next few weeks so that it will be all healed before we leave for Adelaide in January (which is coming up much too fast at the moment!).

Speaking of our move, we still have SO much to do! We have convinced my parents to hold a garage sale at their place this weekend, so we should get rid of a bit of our stuff there and then we will have more room to pack and we won't have to have big boxes taking up our lounge!

Anyways, I still have to have a shower and pack up the car with garage sale things before heading to the Tron!

Two Sleeps!

I am SO super excited - only two more sleeps until my weekend trip to Invercargill to visit my best friend in the world! S was my bridesmaid at my wedding, and I have only seen her twice briefly since January so it's going to be awesome to see her for the whole weekend.

Window Seats & Rainbows

The Husband and I both love window seats when we fly, and when we went to Christchurch last weekend, it was no different! The Husband had the window on our way down, me on the way home. I love being above the clouds - no matter how bad the weather may be, the blue sky is always there.



And on this flight, we even saw a rainbow! I've flown through lightening storms, but I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow from vantage point of an airplane!

It was a pretty good trip, Christchurch was SO cold though!!! I so hope that Invercargill is much warmer in two weeks time!

And we have Success...kinda!

Today, The Husband and I made attempt # 2 at the "Cow Cake" we are planning to make for my Dad's birthday next weekend.

Here it is:

I'm thinking it's a success!!! Well, definitely compared to last weekend's miserable outcome...now we've just got to taste it.

Fail!!!

It's my Dad's 60th birthday in a couple of weeks. He's a farmer, so The Husband and I have decided to make him a cake somewhat resembling this:


We made a trial cake yesterday, and the outcome did not resemble this:

In fact, it resembled this:

And that's the good part of it - the rest went in the trash!!! We're going to have to have another attempt at it this weekend...hoping for a better outcome this time!!!
