• Hi! Your hair cut looks great, so shiny. We are of to Adelaide tomorrow, again. I have appointment with the physio and then with a retraining work program coordinator. Then Saturday Rod and I are off to Ardrossan to see Jo and Waynes house. Jo starts her new job there on the 2nd July. On TV I see you are getting lots of rain. We are getting some not a lot though. Its very cold at night and early in the morning. Im starting to have a very big clear-out. Big garage sale in the next 5 weeks or so. Hopefully Andy I can sell some of your things here and sent you some money. Michaels house is progressing well, the brickwork should be finished this weekwend. Catch up with you later.
  Luv you both, Dana.

Hey everybody,

Thanks heaps to Rhea, Mark, Aaron, Lili and Eddie for attending "games night" at our place on Friday night. Yes we only played one game but still, best games night ever. Apologies to Lili for making her sit through Clerks 2 hehe…if she wasnt already feeling sick, she certainly left sick…

This is lili eating her cheese covered cream biscuit as punishment for losing jenga. More pics coming eventually.

Its been absolutely miserable here over the past week and neither of us like it! Tonight there’s supposed to be "cyclonic winds" in Syd so that should be fun to sleep through. We’ve been a little busy lately, its almost becoming the norm. I had work on the weekend to cover Mal’s shifts while she studies for exams. On Wednesday I went to a work dinner to farewell Myer manager Mark who was always really nice to me. On Friday night we hung out with the family at the Outback Steakhouse in Parklea. We didn’t have to wait as long as we thought we did for a seat and the food was nice but really wasn’t cooked as well as it should have for such expensive meals at over $30 per person…not including the $11 beers etc.

Andy said it made a mockery of our discount steak nights…speaking of which, Tuesday steak nights with Andi and Rhyll are still going well. We hung out with them on Saturday night for Pad Thai and curry dinner followed by poker and then karaoke and Buzz on the playstation.

Update on the 20th: well that storm turned out to be nothing much…it was even sunny today…me and Andy had lunch at Verve cafe, chicken breast burgers are really nice there.

Yay Andys back from Adelaide and everythings back to normal. Good luck to Mal, first day of exams tomorrow and good luck to Andy, first day as Inventory Manager today!

Just added Rhea’s Myspace link to the links list. I’m now 3/4ths of the way to getting an account there too but heard that Virb is better. Anybody on facebook or Virb? Let me know if you are. Did an interesting poll today:

Sumali’ Driving Is is:  40% Male, 60% Female

According to studies, you generally drive like a typical female. You are a careful, skilled driver. And you are patient in sticky driving situations. You may get aggressive from time to time, but normally you’re a cool, collected driver.

Do You Drive Like a Guy or a Girl?

While Andy was off in South Australia over the long weekend I spent some time with the fam, did Malisha’s Myer shifts on Saturday and Sunday so she could study and then had the Monday off which will be my only day off for the next 3 weeks. Poor Andy is going to have to entertain himself (won’t be a challenge for him at all i’m betting). On Monday before Andy arrived (flight delayed by an hour), the fam went out for Yum Cha in Carlingford which has myteriously lost a lot of its usual customers…we contemplated why over chinese tea, rice noodles, dimsims, calamari, prawn dumplings, chicken rice, beef and pork noodle, fish balls, green veg (the nice type), soya bean pudding with syrup…there’s so much more variety when you go with a big group, we ended up having a lot of stuff. I took pics with their camera, will upload in due time…

A big sorry to the guys and gals from Des Comp with whom we were supposed to be enjoying the weekend away at the beach with. I kinda underestimated the pain factor of getting two lower wisdom teeth out and yeah…had to cancel…sorry….trust me it hurts me more than it hurts you :p

~smily

I got both my wisdom teeth out! Ouchy and not much fun…altho i did like being sedated…the anaesthesiest (need spell checker there ha) couldn’t find my veins and had to poke around a bit to find one which sucked, for $350 you’d think he’d get it right first go! I’ve got stitches inside my mouth on both sides, i can’t really tell whats going on there but it feels like my cheeks have been stiched to my gums….very weird feeling. I made this awesome contraption out of an old bandana and a ice pack made for an ankle sprain that kept my cheeks cool enough not to swell heaps. But then i took it off and today i look like a bowling ball!

Anyhoo now I can only eat much and liquids and icky stuff until i heal. I didn’t think the painkillers were working very well but Andy tells me 30mg of codeine is a lot and it probably is working…
I spent the night at my parents place where my mum looked after me while Andy took the night off, he probably had a great time without me bugging him for once! Next day Mal looked after me and helped me bake a tea cake which turned out really nicely. After all that relaxing and watching tv, Andy came to pick me up and when we got home he made me eggs and baked beans.

Well hello there, its been a while since I’ve posted properly so here’s a quick run down on the latest events:

We went out to dinner with Simmy and Jonathon on Friday and purchased an Entertainment Book for 2007 off them, its a fantastic little discount book which has pretty much already paid for itself. We went to a nice little Italian restaurant called Michelangelos in Carlingford Court where the one woman service was fantastic and made up for the rest of her staff which were pretty ordinary. We asked for a takeaway menu and got one with onions all over it. Gross!

On Tuesday we met Andrea for steak dinner at the Pennant Hills Inn. Rhyl was off in Melbourne or something snobbing us :p The steak was thicker this time around which was good.

On Wednesday we couldn’t be bothered cooking so we had pizza hut pizza, used a coupon which let us have two pizzas for 7.95.

On Thursday I went shopping at Parra with Mal (found some spiffy boots for $14, should be good for a few wears and a nice pair of woollen fingerless elbow length gloves) while Andy had fun on his own at home after which the family went out to dinner at another Italian restaurant called Belmontes in Baulkham Hills (tonnes better than the Belmontes in Penno).

On the Friday after that we were feeling lazy so we used our entertainment book at "Il Nidos" on Terminus Street near Towers which is guess what? An italian place! We have totally overdosed on italian and pizza which is ok because the Italian festival is on in Sydney right now but yeah…no more pizza/pasta for a while please. We tried taking photos we really did (ok well I did) but were a tiny bit too tipsy to get anything web worthy…

Saturday was our day off, we hung out and went plant shopping at Hargraves Nursery (50% off all plants over $14), Andy got a dwarf lemon tree and mandarin tree to put on the balcony, we also got some Basil and Coriander which is my baby, everybody says they will die within the next few weeks but you never know right?!  I ended up getting a really nasty splotches all over my face and arms and neck after we got home from walking through all those weird plants. That night we played poker with Andi and Rhyl at their place (had pizza for dinner hehe…) Andy’s taken a few videos i’m not sure what he’s done with them.

Sunday I worked at Myer while Andy hung out and cleaned the apartment a bit and did the washing, we met for lunch (A potato for Andy, rice, mongolian beef and asian style veggies for me) which was nice. Dinner was some Subway from the place across the road, they’re really very nice people there.

And today we have Monday…basically just worked our butts off and came home for a nice relaxing evening with Burritos courtesy of Andy.

Wow that was a huge backlog of events….tomorrow who knows what will happen, perhaps its my turn to cook? Did I mention the time I made a nice pork curry/soup thing? Twas awesome. Anyhoo stay tuned for more!
