Wrapping Things Up

5/29/2011

0 Comments

 
Hellooooo! I have been a lazy waste of space the past couple of days. Since I finished work on Friday, I have spent my days lying on the couch and my nights eating (not healthy) and drinking. But you know what? I'm going to America tomorrow, and I don't even know the next time I will see Alastair. So, I don't feel guilty about spending 100% of my time lazying around with him. It will be a while before I get to do it again. 

Friday
Friday was my last day of work. We had a morning tea at 10:30 to participate in the Biggest Morning Tea to raise money for cancer. Each of us had the option to make a donation. A lot of companies take part in this during the month of May. At the same time, we had the morning tea to say goodbye to me!

There were scones and cakes galore.

We also had big quiches.

I got a bottle of wine and a hat with our company logo on it so that I will never forget where I worked!
Picture
I had a lot of last-minute things I need to wrap up, so the day went very quickly for me. Before I knew it, it was 5 pm. I was hugging everybody good-bye, and then it was time to go home. I do admit that I got a little teary-eyed. I worked with some fantastic people. 

As soon as I got home, Al and I drove to his brother Nick and his fiance Anna's  house. They had us over for dinner, along with some other family members. We had lots of entertaining characters there, like little Nate in his robe.

There was also Grumpy, who wanted me to take this photo so that my mom could see her wearing the scarf we bought for her.

Then there was Cody, who is just over a year old.

We kept him outside while we ate dinner. It was pretty obvious that he wanted to come inside and play!

He came inside after dinner and got lots of attention.

Later on, we ate dessert. It was a pie (I can't remember what it was, but it was delicious!) on top of a peanut butter macaroon. I cleared my bowl.

Then, Cody wanted to play some more.

I let Cody hang out on my lap, so I was the only one to blame when I left the house later covered in dog hair and slobber. It was worth it! It just made me more excited to see my doggies.

Yesterday, not much went down until night time. We met our friends Duncan and Claire for a bite to eat at the Lion Hotel in North Adelaide, and some other buddies joined us later. We went on to Mesa Lunga in the city and then some other karaoke bar around there.

We ended up getting home around 2 in the morning, so I didn't feel bad about sleeping very late today. I haven't done anything productive today besides washing my hair and blogging, so I have a lot to do! I can't believe that I'm flying out of Adelaide at 9:30 tomorrow morning. That's almost in 12 hours. Holy shoot. 

See you guys in America!
