All I Want for Christmas Is This

 Poor Santa I have already given him my list and now I have found this top and I really, really want it! I know his extremely busy making all of the toys for  kids and travelling the world but I hope he can find it in his heart to give me this top for Christmas.
I have my fingers and toes crossed and I have been a really good girl, so wish me luck! Once again Merry Christmas XXX

Christmas Catch Up's

I had my work Christmas Party last weekend it was also a farewell party for one of my friends who is retiring. What I love about my workplace is that I have friends from all different ages who I love and adore like family. This is my girlfriend Heather who is retiring I have no idea what were talking about but Heather does not look impressed.
 I love that she dressed up as an Elf for the night and had a lot of fun!
 Santa even came and gave us presents.
 
 I got beautiful scented candles.
 These are the girls that I work with in my branch
 and this is all of us!
I have to say for a Christmas Party it was pretty mellow, nobody got to drunk. So there was no gossip on Monday Morning. There was a lot of dancing and some Karaoke, just a lot of good clean fun. This will probably be my last post before Christmas so I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and that Santa spoils you rotten XXX

So I Went Back For More

My Girlfriend was visiting her parents and asked me if I wanted to tag along as the sunflowers were in full bloom where they live.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would see so many fields of sunflowers and these one's you could even walk into the field. It was one of the happiest days of my life.


 I thought I was being really smart wearing my sunflower dress to the fields. I didn't think about the fact that I kind of got lost in them. Who thought that you could use a sunflower dress as camouflage gear. It's a bit like playing, "Where's Wally" in some of the shots.


I never normally like photo's of my self but I know how happy I was feeling when this was taken and I think that the photo captures it perfectly. I hope you all have a lovely weekend, I find out all of my results on Tuesday so I am feeling a little anxious at the moment. I'm trying not to stress until I know that I have something to stress about. If you know what I mean. Enjoy your weekend XXX

Nap Time

I thought I might take you for a little tour of the Koala enclosure at Currumbin Bird Sanctuary. They are a lively bunch and very entertaining, NOT!!!!!! What actually entertains me is the positions they fall asleep in.
 This position I kind of understand.
 This guy is just to cool for school.
 This one had a big night out.
 This little guy fell asleep mid scratch.
and oh my goodness this little baby is all awake and so damn cute!!!
 
I hope you enjoyed your tour. If only I could fall asleep as easily as these guys do. I wish I was a koala and could just eat and sleep all day and look that cute!
 
Enjoy your week xxx

Riding In Ambulances

This week has been crazy.  I had my first trip in an Ambulance, I went to work on Wednesday morning and all was fine. By about 10am I was dizzy, sweating, my hands were shaking and I pretty much felt like I was drunk. I was stumbling around and making a complete ass out of myself. A Ambulance was called and I found out that I had very low blood sugar levels which is something I have never had before. It scared the living day lights out of me and I am still waiting for my test results to see if there is anything else going on with me. I had the rest of the week off and I had a bit of a movie marathon, here are my reviews.
 The Dallas Buyers Club 9/10
The acting, the story, everything about this movie is brilliant. It's about a HIV diagnosed man who goes to great lengths to survive and help others when the hospitals, governments and pharmaceutical companies can't.
 Maleficent 7/10
Maleficent is the other side of the story of Sleeping Beauty. If your a fairy tale lover like myself, you will love this. The movie is about what happens when your Prince Charming ends up being a total pig. It's Maleficent's journey from getting over  hatred and physical trauma to finding ones self and  falling in love in the most unexpected way.

 Philomena 9/10
Judi Dench's character Philomena is a woman who falls pregnant out of wedlock and is put in a Catholic home for girls. Her son is adopted out to rich Americans and the movie is about her trying to find him 50 years later. Judi Dench is amazing and I loved her character Philomena. Philomena is a lot stronger than I would be. At the end of the movie she forgives the Nun's that have betrayed her, not something I think I would have been able to do for quite some time.

Spring Holiday Part 1

We recently went on holiday to the Gold Coast to relax and it was amazing. Every morning we went for a bike ride and every afternoon we went for a walk on the beach. We have both decided in the next 5 years we would like to move closer to the water.

 On our first afternoon on the beach there were hundreds of newly hatched butterflies flying around. There were also hundreds of dying ones on the shore who were not strong enough to fly due to the wind. I first saw two males picking the butterflies up and moving them to the grass area to dry off and to protect them and hopefully save them. I was so touched by this that I joined in. I just hoped that we saved some of them. My Husband had to drag me away as I wanted to save all of them and got a little sad because realistically this was impossible. I may sound racist to some of you but please don't think that I am. The two Males doing this beautiful thing were from the middle east their wives were  wearing burkas and all I thought was I wish everyone who is racist and says horrible things could see how beautiful these Men are.  People can be so judgemental and it really angers me, there is good and bad in every race and people are to fast to categorise everyone in the same box. Rant over, I promise.

 The next day we went to Currumbin Bird Park where we got to feed the birds. I would love to say it was a fantastic experience, but seriously it scared the crap out of me. Hubby is all cool calm and collected and I am FREAKING OUT!!!!! I could just post the photo that I faked it in, but I think these are such classics that I just had to share with you.



 Fake it till you make it!!!!!!
