Catchup #1 Bright
Mood: Happy
Ok - I've been horribly slack in updating lately.
Not because I haven't had anything happening, quite the opposite actually. I've been flat out, flat stick. So here is the update on everything, conveniently written in chapter format for your edification.
So this long weekend, I went away with my most beautiful girlfriends to Bright. We have a house over there that we stay in, and we leave as early as we can manage on a Friday, then come home slowly on a Sunday.
All we do all weekend is eat, drink, laugh, and relax. And we make cards too - or whatever other craft takes our fancy.
This weekend I actually made three cards (up-ing my productivity by 300%!!) one for the lovely Mrs. Macca and the Guitar Guy's wedding, one for my hunky cousin and his beautiful fiancees wedding, and one for my lovely mentor who is in hospital next week having an operation.
Seems like all of Sassville is in hospital at the moment. But onwards.
Our girls weekends away are always the best fun. And its not that we do anything particularly exciting, its more that the company is so excellent.
You know when you have people around you, and you trust them implicitly, and they know you, and you know them, and you can just be completely relaxed and yourself around them? Its like that.
And the food. Jebus. Everything is delicious. A sample menu for your perusal:
Dinner Night One:
Dried fruit cheeses, tomato and chilli pesto and dippity bix.
Home made zucchini quiche, with fresh salad and avocado.
Home made lime tart with fresh cream.
Breakfast:
Cinnamon and apple swirl toast, English Muffins, Cinnamon / Caramel Lattes.
Snack:
Homemade spiced apple cake. Heaven Strawberry white chocolate.
Lunch:
Warm Chicken, Cesaer salad, fresh bread rolls, coleslaw, potato salad, sundried tomatos and olives.
Snack:
Warm fetta with green pesto, sundried tomatos and olives, served with a garlic and cheese pizza bread.
Dinner:
Chicken and sweet potato casserole in a white wine sauce, with rice.
Lemon Delicious pudding with cream.
Everything was made on location by my lovely girlfriends, except for the Lemon Delicious, which was made by ME! Yes folks, you read it here first - I actually cooked something, and not only was it edible, it was bloody beautiful.
I feel so full! We seriously ate every three hours, minimum. And we snacked in between. We even snacked between snacks. Or drank. I dread to think how many bottles of wine we went through! It was lovely. I feel so beautifully relaxed and so very blessed to have so many incredible people in my life.
And while I was away, it was lovely to hear from both the lovely Mrs Macca - who called to fill in her car journey home, and Stace, who called (slightly maggotted) to fill me in on how her new life away way away is going.
He he he. Mrs Macca - I loved that you called because we hadn't "caught up" via this blog. I had completely forgotten that you guys even read it!! (This is what happens when you lurkers don't comment...) It actually made me think that I should have a little hiatus a little more often, if it means you will call up and catch me up on whats going on with you guys too!!
And I almost forgot...
