OMG we have doors

Our doors for our reno got delivered this morning. I knew they were coming this morning, but I sure as hell didn't know they were coming at 7.15am.
Bright and early - I was in bed still LOL

Poor delivery guy had to endure a big afro haired crazy sleep deprived woman in pyjamas.

Could have been worse. At least I didn't tell him "We all do our own things in the morning." *snort* You know who you are, and yes I still laugh about it.

Wanting to be like Hank Moody

Damn I love Californication.

Come on, you've gotta admit that deep down inside all of us there is a little bit of Hank Moody trying to get out. In light of that I thought I'd share some of my favorite Hankisms.

[about a painting]
Hank Moody: What the fuck is that?
Bill Lewis: Oh, you like it? I could have bought a car instead.
Hank Moody: I think you should still buy the car and then run over whoever created that turd.

Hank Moody: Sorry, I'm late. I just, uh...
Charlie Runkle: You just what?
Hank Moody: Nah, that's all I got.

Charlie Runkle: I'm sorry about your old man. You know, he was a good guy.
Hank Moody: No he was not. He used to say you looked like a walking penis.
Charlie Runkle: Well, that's not very nice.

[Hank went to the doctor because he has a lump on his penis]
Dr. Riess: So what are you working on these days?
Hank Moody: What am I working on? I'm working on trying to figure out what that fucking lump in my junk is. That's what I'm working on.

Now I'm laughing just typing this out. I'd like just for one twenty-four hour period to be able to be as blunt as good old Hank. Would make for an interesting day.

How do you define friendship?

Would you say that someone you only see a handful of times a year when you live locally to each other is a friend or an acquaintance?

I had a question similar to this posed to me when I'd mentioned that Kathy and her daughter Aysha had come for a visit today. So it got me thinking. Yeah Kathy and I really only live 10-15 minutes away from each other, but life if is busy ya know? She's a single Mum working fulltime days, I do school runs and race around after a toddler all day and work most nights. So catching up is usually a logistical nightmare.

But you know what? When we catch up, it's just like picking up where we left off. Like no time has passed. It's not awkward. It's not weird. It's just....the same. And that's what defines our friendship. And that's what makes it great.

Another day, another birthday

Happy Birthday to my beautiful grandmother. xx I'll decline to mention her age and instead opt to remind her that I can still call her Aunty Gran if she wishes.

I forgot to take my camera with me today, so I trawled through some old photos looking for a nice one of the two of us together. There are some nice recent ones, but I couldn't go past this blast from the past. This is me and her together on my second birthday.

Big little brother turns 32

Well not only do I want to welcome in the new year but I want to wish a fantastic day to my little brother who turned 33 today.

Was a great relaxing way to bring in the new year. The kids ran around and most of the adults sat around chatting while nursing their hangovers. The kids had a ball - as evidenced by Jack. What a pig. Funny, I remember his Uncle being exactly the same.
