Wonderful Weekends... On a countdown....

So I'm on a count down now to finishing work... 4 days left... yay!! Can't believe the day has come!! Thursday will be very very weird... I am not thinking about it at all...  will just try and hold it together for most of the week... tears are ok.. but I don't want them to be in front of 50 or so people at my morning tea.. that would be my worst fear ... public speaking (and crying)... eeekkkk! 

Ok so back to my weekend.... I started it on a  fantastic (or maybe thats cruel note) by spending an hour with my personal trainer - this may also explain why I battled with the heat   so much(yuk). When I am there it is hell, but I do feel much better when I am done.. and I can now run around my block (1km) without stopping which is a big achievement for me with the legs I have been given  ... that would have been unimaginable a year ago! 

Cheese... that pained look again!!

On Sunday, my sis and I went to the movies... This is one of my favourite activities... love the pure escapism of it.... after a crappy year, I tend to stick to romantic, happy sappy  movies. Anything, sad, scary, or action packed is off the agenda (for now).. So we managed to see a pretty good chick flick in "New Years Eve". My  expectations were pretty low , other than for it to fill a few hours with loads of celebs..  it aint going to win any oscars, but it was not horribly bad (which I thought it may be!) actually I quite enjoyed its sappiness...even through I'm a News Years eve hater myself! The only problem I had  whilst there was  I saw such a sad preview before it began that rocked me to the core... because I wasn't expecting it I was quite shaken..... don't think I have ever cried that much in a movie trailer, tears were rolling down my face.. makes me think the tears are close to the surface and are  just needing an outlet.. this movie might just be it (check it out below and see if it does the same -The big screen and surround sound does help with the emotion lifting!!) .. not sure Ill be able to see it without coming become a blubbering mess, but I will add it to my must see for 2012....

After our movie trip we managed to pick up some Xmas pressies for our mum and dad! Tick they are off the list now!! I just need to focus on getting Darby's stuff, which I have made a good start!!  Thank god I'm finishing work this week with a week to dedicate to Xmas shopping eek!!
When I picked up Darby from his dad's.. we came home and started some cooking... of course all the good stuff.. full of butter and sugar and chocolate! First up came the chocolate Xmas tree shaped Brownies... I tasted them and they are pretty yum!! Then next was the Gingerbreads... The dough is now all ready to go in my fridge for the baking tonight!! Mmmmm I love a good Ginger.. Will let you know how it goes!!!

Now off to survive this week!! Its going to be a big one!!!! Wish me luck!
