After a week off blogging about my weekend, (last week was a complete and utter disaster..well for the most part I couldn't get out of bed, let alone sit in front of my computer) I'm back now, but really I don't have to much to report on!!
Life is chugging along... we are into February.. and to be honest I am pretty glad to see the back of January... It was the crappest of crap months... and I really hope 2012 will start to be kind to me and those around me from now on ...... So Happy New Year to me... 2012 starts now!!!

| My fab friend Janine made this gorgeous dress for me! I chose the fabric and we ummed and ahhed over the pattern, finally deciding on this flattering one!! I wore it proudly on Saturday... I love that its a one of a kind! It also makes me feel very feminine and girly!! I am putting in another order!!! |
❤ On Friday night I dropped Darby at my sisters for a sleep over... as it was fairly last minute I didn't make any plans... I was however longing for a night out.... well just some one of those impromptu dinner outs, with a glass of wine and cheap and cheerful food and company.... I reminisce about the days when this was possible...
So it probably sounds out of this world crazy that I would want to go out with Darby's dad for dinner... We have been separated for almost 2 years now and yes we get along, but not really on a "I want to go out for dinner with you"basis... but heck I decided to give him a call, knew he would probably be free and met him at a local pizza restaurant.. The funny thing is, there are absolutely no romantic feelings whatsoever, not even the tiniest bit... we can be adults about everything.. even I am proud of my self... sooo grown up! What do we talk about??? Not much really, Darby, work, friends, food, wine, whatever.. but it is actually enjoyable... I still find him annoying at times, but more annoying like a big brother or something! I still cant say that things are not rocky from time to time, but at least we can be on friendly terms... We enjoyed dinner, I dropped him home and that was it! A nice night out... of the very unconventional kind!!

❤ On Saturday morning I reluctantly went back to my personal trainer for some hell.... well it wasn't as bad as I thought it may be, but I seriously have lost my fitness since 2011... time to get myself into shape... might have to set myself a new challenge!! I have a big occasion to look good for, so I need to shift some kilos pronto!!
❤ I then went to visit my aunty and we took Darby to Bunnings so Darby could have a jump in the jumping castle.. it was heaving with people, no, make that men... it surely is a place for the guys to hang out at and get away from their lives and to sneak in a sausage sizzle!
After that we met up with Darby's aunty on his dads side... I get along with them really well and they have just moved into the neighbourhood which is fabulous because Darby will become a cousin in the coming months and I will become an Aunty for the first time.. something I am ecstatic about!
❤ On Sunday I broke my 11 day coffee drought!! I can't believe I have gone that long without coffee!! I decided if I was going to have one , it would have to be a good one! So we traipsed off to a remarkable cafe nearby home... The coffee is always amazing... Just as I had remembered, such a perfect anecdote after a very low few weeks!! Now that I am back on the coffee train, I know I can go a few days without it and that's ok... I now just want to drink Quality over quantity!!(not that I can stomach more than one a day)
In the afternoon I did a bit of shopping... I discovered I may have a new obsession! Cinnamon sugar covered pretzels!! Mmmm they were amazing... like a doughnut- but they say they are low in fat.. bit doubtful about this fact... but Ill take their word for it - it was either that or a cupcake so I'm sure I made the right choice!!
Ill be sharing a healthy recipe soon on another of my favourites - Pancakes... hmmmm stay tuned!
