I'm hungry again...

Look, My "N" necklace finally came in the post today,along with my Mae (a)fternoon CD. So excited, I'm listening to the CD right now..

I'm exhausted from a long day at work...straight out of the long weekend. Wasnt very busy but still tiring. Couldnt wake up because it was so cold this morning, but sister needed me to drive her to school so no choice but to get up, and get ready to go to work.

In other news, Pipe is coming back this Friday, so I'm taking my friday lunch shift off and picking up the man at the airport. Though he has yet to call me to tell me the flight number and arrival time. I can't wait to see him and give him a huge hug, missed him so much.

In more news, I found out today that at my boss's daughter's birthday dinner this weekend, I'm going to be seated right next to the head chef, gah, I was so excited, why did he have to ruin it? Still cant wait to see little Belinda again, so adorable. Apparently I'm going to be helping out on the evening, dont know what I'll be expected to do, I was looking forward to just chowing down and relaxing. Oh, which reminds me, gotta buy a baby present.

"oh please talk to me, everyone has been so mean"

Met a Daniel Radcliffe look/sound-a-like the other day, uncanny I tell you (though with glasses and blonde brown hair). Totally got me to sign up for some earth conservation thingy...I'm a sucker.

Last Sunday went out with Jenn to watch Jean Michel of Baroque Bistro & Patisserie make Macarons at the 30 Day Home and Entertainment show (photo of one of the displays above). Macarons tasted awesome, the demo left me bored... lets just say...some people think they're funny when they aint. yawn. I bought a Rose water flavoured Macaron in the end. Jenn and I left the show with a headache, boredom and a tummy full of macarons.

Caught up with dear Catherine briefly for lunch yesterday as she had to head home and do some uni work, busy girl she is. Always awesome to see and catch up with her. Everytime I do see her, I'm reminded that my 21st is this year and have no idea what I could be doing to celebrate it. hmm...

In other news; Pipe called me this arvo, for a very brief minute (litterally), he never has time to talk to me, why bother sometimes. Though I was a bit teary when he did call (damn, that absolutely sucks that he had that affect on me. Sucks major). I think these past two weeks not seeing him has done me some good, I need some ME time..which really resulted in me and others-being work, Jenn, Cath, dinners out-to distract me from thinking about him. BLAH!!!

That's been the week, cliffs note anyway. Work tomorrow again, time for beddybyes.

Things that reminded me..

Stumbled upon this blog post on How About Orange and it was of this origami money shirt and tie. I used to make these in high school (minus the tie), I was so proud of myself. I used to fold the plastic $5 notes I had and stuffed them in my wallet as emergency money. Of course at that time, mum said I was playing with money...

"Don't get upset, your pastries will come out bitter"

My Rhubarb, Apple and Cinnamon Pies have just FAILED, so bad. Better luck next time. The pastry did taste nice though, added a little bit of mixed spice in the crust, smelt delish, too bad the filling "erupted". Boo. Mum was right, you gotta be in the right mood or your creations will taste bitter. why is mum always right?

Spent my day off with Jenn today, drove around as always. I've been feeling a lil blue, Pipe hasnt called me (I know he's busy catching up with everyone in Thailand, but I miss him calling me everyday). But the day with Jenn cheered me right up. She's awesome like that. Just spent the day near our houses, I really didnt feel like going anywhere far...especially since I work in the city all week, does get somewhat boring.  

Work tomorrow...14hours of non stop fun *cough*. Better head to bed. good night all.

I was feeling down for a bit but now I'm fine

Since my sister has started high school and the increase addition of contacts on her MSN messenger list, I pretty much don't even go near the computer anymore. Today I thought it was long overdue for an update.

The weather is getting cooler, which is ok, since the sun is still shining. Love waking up to sunshine and blue skies, always makes me smile and especially with Mr Apple away in Thailand for 3 weeks I need something to keep me from missing him too much (I know, barf, don't care.)

So cooler weather, dreaded winter coming up, I'm getting back to baking. Havnt been able to do that in a while. Starting from today, I just baked up a batch of my fave Choc and Hazelnut cookies, mmm, heart warming.

Hopefully, once in a while I get to try some new recipes (I'm craving somemthing with apples) and post them up here.

Time to head to work. Peace.
