Spent the day in dispatch, lots of orders. One to Auckland went on two pallets it was so big.
Day went by quickly.
Made some cards to go with the presents for the weekend and labelled some books.

I am getting very bad at not writing here daily, when I do an update 2 or 3 days later I don't remember each day as well as I could. *sigh*

A good day at work. Two of the machines we use are similar to each other, but one has a small hopper (funnel like thing that we pour the paint into) and the other is much larger.
We have been swapping them about to help with the pouches, which isn't easy as we get confused which bits come off and which don't.
We had the staff meeting today as it was missed yesterday. We have all of next week to get the pouches finished which gives us more time than we thought, and we will get it done.
A quiet night at home.

Its odd that its Monday but not odd that I am not at work. I think my brain still thinks its the weekend or something.
I slept in til about 8am.
Spent a bit of time online. Did a bit of packing including taking the legs off the kitchen table.
Left to get the 11am bus, and Mocha decided to follow me. He crossed both roads and finally jumped onto a wall and stopped. He wouldn't listen to me when I tol him not to follow.
I got the bus to town, released by last two books and went to the University Book Shop. They have lots of cheap books upstairs which is where I went. We got a $20 voucher at Christmas so I wanted to spend it before we left.
I got Little Women for $5, Lost Boy, Lost Girl for $7 and Ya-Yas In Bloom for $7. I read Little Women when I was younger so it will be great to re-read. Lost Boy, Lost Girl is a book I got for R when we first got together to introduce him to BC, and now I can read it. And I have read the first YaYa book and I assume this one follows it.
It wasn't easy to get three books for under $20.
After that I went to a lunchtime BC Meetup, managed to handover a book I read.
After this I went to the bank to put money in.
Then to the supermarket for a few things. It has been a hot day and I was glad to get the bus home and cool off.
I did some washing, hung that up.
Have had dinner and watching some tv.

Merry Christmas to all my friends.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, no matter what the weather is where you are.
Spend time with the ones you love, eat way too much yummy food, enjoy ripping the wrapping off any gifts you get, have a nap in the afternoon and have leftovers for dinner, watch Christmas tv without all the ads.

Merry Chrismas from rarsberry, VivaRichie, Mocha and Java. :O)

We all expected it to be a nice sunny day like yesterday as that was what was predicted. However it turned out to be more of a cloudy day, no rain but not hot.
Work was ok but not busy and therefore boring. The rest of the week so far actually hasn't been to bad like last week.
I released two books before work and luckily there was no rain.
I released another one of my way to our BC lunch meetup. There were 4 adults and a 1 year old. It was good to catch up with a BCer who we haven't seen for ages.
I got the bus home and watched some more dishes.
We had dinner and watched an episode of House.
I got bored and made a batch of chocolate chocolate chip cookies, which came out ok.
Watching more tv now.

First day back at work after 2 and a half weeks off. It was strange, especially to walk into the work room, it seemed smaller and wrong, but didn’t last long.
The day was busy as usual, and I remembered the job!! Took me a bit longer as I am not confident with my new signature.
Got things tidied up and stocked up a bit, they seemed to have been ok without me!! Told Greg I would like my last name changed on the payslip, he will work on that.
R had the day off and relaxed for the day. He got a call from the photographer. The photos will be ready by Wednesday so we will go in on Saturday to pick them up.
He picked me up from work and we went home.
Had dinner and relaxed for the rest of the night.

We have heart chocolate molds for the wedding.
They have writting on them, like these:

We want to have the writing in white chocolate and the rest of the heart as dark chocolate.
How do we get the white chocolate into the writing without making a mess?

If you are reading my LJ posts, can you please give some sort of comment here.
Just so that I know who out there is reading me.

Thanks :o)

Woke up to my alarm at 7am, then woke again 25 minutes later!!
We still left on time for work.
Work was ok, busy enough through the day.
Sandwiches and more reading at lunchtime.
Nice sunny day today, not even any drizzle.
R and I have eaten dinner, watched the news and now Campbell Live. We then watched Target and Money Man.
I had a reply from Glenfalloch today. The Bridal Lawn is free for Friday the 19th, but the Homestead has a conference on all day. Not sure when it ends. I have replied asking when we can take stuff down to decorate the tables, hopefully there is some time on the Friday to get it done, not something that should be done on the morning of, since we are having our ceremony at 11am. Hope to get a good reply from them.
Got about 20 pages of a book to go, so wil finish that.

I can't be bothered to make an actual poll, so there is this one.
I will put 11 photos in.
If you could please, tell me your first 3 favourites.
I am interested to know what everyone else likes.
At this stage there is one I like more than the rest, not sure if I will change it or not.
Or I could change my mind totally before October!! :o)

( The photos are behind here.............. )

I need some ideas of how to have my hair put up for graduation.
I tried to Google but don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.

Woke up many times during the night. Woke with R at 8am.
Got up and onto my computer to catch up on the Internet.
R went out to get some money for the convention, and I had a shower and washed my hair.
boreal and her husband came at 11:30 to pick me up, R paid for the convention then.
We went and screen printed some black t-shirts, to be used as prizes for the winners of the quiz.
We got 9 done, and came back about 2:30. They look great and I hope that the winners like them.
R and I went out, got some late lunch.
We came home for a while, but got bored.
We went to the Warehouse and got a rubbush bin, mattress protector, some new shoes for R for work and some more coat hangers.
Not really wanting a big dinner, now watching tv.
We tidied up a wee bit, then I did some ironing and we are watching a movie.

2 weeks today to go!!

Woke up with R when he got up at 8am, stayed in bed til my alarm went of 20 minutes later.
Got up and got onto my computer, had a shower after R went to work.
I went to work and did 5 rooms and some vacuuming, better today.
Went to see R at work and we had Chinese together for lunch, saw a guy that we both knew at Polytech and caught up with him.
I came home and got the game going, caught up on the Internet again.
Has been raining lightly for the last hour so I got into warmer clothes as it started out with such nice weather.
Now got game in tg so will do some convention stuff.
Wrote an email to everyone, getting some replies.
Played the game for a while.
The afternoon just slipped by.
R came home just after 6. We went to Kmart, he got some new underwear, and got me some and a new bra. All were cheap as there was 20% off and they were cheap in the first place.
We then went to the supermarket and got some food and dinner.
Had dinner and watched some tv, now back to the game.

I seem to always be catching up on yesterday at the moment!!

I woke up later knowing I didn't have work at Envirowaste.
R left for work and I had a shower, got ready and left to go to town just before 10:30. Remembered I had an envelope to post so went back for that. Tried again to go to town, got a couple of minutes down the hill, and my cell phone rang. It was Select, wanting to know if I would help the boss to pack and unpack between their old house and new house.
So I ended up working 10:30ish til 5pm. That will give me a bit more money.
R came home and we went to the supermarket to get dinner, he got pizza and I got some pies.
Relaxed for the night, went to bed before 10 and fell asleep.
Woke up at 1:10am and wondered why R was asleep and why the light was on. Took me a few minutes to work out that we had sleep for a few hours, so I turned off the light and eventually went back to sleep.
Woke up a few more times and had trouble getting back to sleep.

Its just after 10:30pm here so I will post this before I go to bed.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Have a great day tomorrow with your friends and family.
Eat lots of great food, have fun ripping into your presents and have fun. :o)

what kitchen utensil are YOU?

You are a washing machine! You are out there. In fact, you are so out there that you are not even in the kitchen! You are a firm believer that clealiness is next to godliness, and you are loads of fun to be around.

Ok, so its a bit small, can you see it?
Its a Kiwi being chased by Ballycumber with a butterfly net.
Please suggest a logo or caption to go with it.
Anything is good at the moment.
I'll put in on photobucket later when its back up and ask on the BC fora also.

Thank you :o)

Woke up about 9:30 and read for a while as R woke up.
Spent time on the Internet and then had a shower.
Had lunch and went to work 1-5.
Got picked up and went home for dinner - pizza, and Fathers Day. Dad liked his presents - his car will be clean and he will have fun with his computer games.
Back here, on the Internet, watching Top Gear. Will spend night in Internet and reading, then watch the F1 racing til I fall asleep.

You are from Alice in Wonderland. Whimsical, naive,
imaginative, and a little nutty.

Spent an hour reading DB book.
Went to supermarket and got a few things, then to the Warehouse where I found another picture to do, this time a cute hidding tiger cub, and 2 photos albums, $2 each.
Went to wait for R to finish work, sat on seat but he didn't see me, so waited by the door til he came out.
Home for dinner and we cooked the rissoles (sp) in the oven this time, much better.
Watched tv, Appretice, Survivor, John Saffron.
Played on Internet for a while, read rest of DB chapter.
