Weekend Recap

This past week has been a very busy one!

On Saturday was our regular book club meeting.

This week the theme was 80s.

I had alot of fun with my hair crimper and blue eyeshadow & wish I had taken a close up photograph.

This was the overall result:

On Sunday the girls & I went to watch Dark Shadows and had sushi for lunch. I do love Johnny Depp in these roles, however I felt that a part of the storyline was so random & a bit over the top, but otherwise it was entertaining enough for a day out.

On Tuesday I went to my friend AC to watch Vampire Diaries, I do so enjoy that series!

On Thursday we had dinner with a supplier at Mythos and I tried a steak topped with feta cheese and olives. Simply delicious.

Friday was a frightfully dreadful day at work, making me happier that I at least sent in my Top Billing audition papers. That night I did some home decorating and put up my new wall art vinyl stickers in my bedroom as well as revamped my fridge:

It was harder than expected, & instead of going to the gym (seeing as I am supposed to get back into it), I curled up on the couch with my kitties and watched quite a few episodes of Secret Circle. I am loving this series too!

Saturday I had breakfast with my friend at Design Quarter and then went on a huge window shopping spree. I didn’t buy anything, but then got home and regretted it.

I even cooked a meal for myself (we should be getting snow) I cooked roast chicken last week and this week was a delicious fish and salad. Who knew I had it in me.

Lately after my body has decided to reject everything I usually eat I am having to become more innovative and it seems cooking from scratch is the way to do it.

Today I went back to the shops and bought a new pillow – I have not slept well these past 2 weeks and I am hoping that apart from stress, that it is because of my pillow.

I also bought a gorgeous photo frame which I can now fill with photos and put up on my wall.

I bought a totally unnecessary mug which says “faking It” My life motto is

If you don’t Feel it, Fake it

So you can understand why  I bought it! 🙂

I also finally invested in a spaghetti spoon, I make too much mess trying to dish spaghetti up with a fork.

That has been my week. What did you get up to?

What have I been doing?

I am spending less money when I go out

I signed up for my very 1st GlossyBox and will receive it in June. Hope I get some nice goodies to try out.

I have finished as far as I can go on Fringe Season 4 and I am dying to get my hands on more.

I am waiting for the final 3 episodes of Vampire Diaries S3, anybody have them yet?

Getting together with the Girls & watching The Vow today with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. It’s bound to be a tear-jerker. I have been dying to watch this movie since I saw the trailer a few weeks back.

I also cannot wait to watch The Lucky One based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, watch this steamy trailer & tell me you are not wanting to be in her place:

Spending Sunday with my mom for Mothers Day and I hope she likes her present. I am also hoping to get her other present in time – a canvas mounted picture from my brothers wedding – I am going to use the 1st pic for mom and I think I will do the family picture for me:

Buying the 2nd Hunger Games book – I am ashamed to say I have’t a clue what it is called, I just know I need it. My attention is not really being held by books at the moment and The Hunger Games is the 1st book in a while that I really enjoyed.

Buying another pack of white chocolate Tim Tams – I adore white chocolate and when I found the white chocolate Tim Tams in the shop I did a little “eeeek” and then proceeded to dance a happy dance then snapped a pic of the Tim Tams to send to Tee. Turns out she had been saving the surprise for my birthday. Oops!

What have you been up to?

Vampire Diaries Photoshoot

Rolling Stone magazine have recently done a Vampire Diaries photoshoot and these are a few of the pictures:

“The whole Twilight thing is about to be over,” Ian Somerhalder says. “And teenage girls can’t watch True Blood with their parents – that would just get weird. So we’re getting ready to kick some major ass this season.”

Watch the really fun video HERE of them shooting on set – a big must if you love Paul and Ian! (but is it just my imagination, or has Ian lost weight?)

How sexy is Mr Somerhalder in this shot?

Did you know Ian auditioned for True Blood?

Check out this cute interview where Ian Somerhalder speaks about vampires & being Damon & a male model (try not to let the gorgeous blue eyes distract you)

Some screen shots:

Things I’m looking forward to

Brother’s wedding:

Wedding plans are coming along nicely. Phoographer is booked, invites are designed.

Dresses have arrived (eeek!) I hope mine will fit me – I am delaying the collection so that I am not disappointed.

Wonder if I will pull off the safety pin look a la Liz Hurley? ha ha ha!

Trip to Thailand:

I have sacrificed alot to be able to pay off some of the credit card debt I have incurred to pay for this trip – not the right way,  I know but this my reasoning: – I need to fit into a bikini because chubby wubby me aint gonna be wearing no bikini looking like this.

By having to save money, I have less to spend on food, therefore eating less, losing weight (see where I am going with this?

Plus I get to spend some fun time with Tee – we are gonna have a blast!

The NaNoWriMo Challenge:

I have been playing with some plot lines in my head, but I am going to leave it to crunch time & see which way the creativity flows

Season 3 of Vampire Diaries:

Apparently Damon starts episode 1 with no clothes – woo hoo!!

The Conclusion of Harry Potter:

I am dying to see who dies at the end, then I want to attempt to read the books.

Springtime:

I am so over this cold weather

Year End Bonus (hopefully)

I have already spent this money in my head, but I really do need more clothes, none of my stuff fits me anymore – I am sure my washing powder is shrinking my clothes, it cant have anything to do with my Tim Tam addiction
