Catch up

So, I sat down for a few hours today and went through all those unpublished blogs and finished them all up and got them out. So you’ll need to scroll down and see some that you have missed :)

It was nice to have a bit of time to sit down and do this. Charlie is asleep at the moment, but I’ll be waking her up shortly to have some bacon and egg pie ;)

Those who know me know that my life has been kinda hectic. A few issues here at home. They are kinda sorted. Agreements have been met to keep Charlie safe and secure. Some people have had to swallow their pride and accept that they can’t behave like fuckin’ animals. I’ve managed to secure the upper hand for the first time in a very long time. I plan to keep it by playing my cards right. There will be no compromise of my standards, rules, etc. :)

That and a headcold. Ugh, back to bed soon :)

Who ate all the pie?

I did some baking for dinner last night. I was doing the grocery shopping and they had bacon on special so I bought 1kg and my nana’s always giving us eggs from her chickens. So I made Michelle’s 1kg of bacon plus 1.5 doz egg pie. It’s a big pie that takes up a whole roasting dish. ;)

Anyway, I don’t believe in putting pansy assed mixed veggies in your pie, or wasting space with fluffy eggs. I believe in cramming it all in there!

So Hayden stayed for dinner last night, and four of us had pie. And there is still enough for dinner tonight, plus some is left over for lunches tomorrow. And maybe more for dinner tomorrow night o_O That’s a lot of pie!

Kieran and Amanda’s wedding

Aww, it was a beautiful day. My cousin Kieran married his girl Amanda. They had been together for six years, met in high school etc. Very fairytale ;) The wedding was held at Wallaceville House. The wedding ceremony was at 5.00pm, we got there at 4:30 to dress Charlotte. She was the flower girl. She looked so beautiful.

The bride (Amanda) arrived at about 5:20pm. Fashionably late! She looked totally stunning. She also arrived in this HUUUUGE limo. It was so big that after the ceremony they had to come and find who owned some cars to get them moved because the limo got stuck. Then it couldnt get out past the carpark, so they had to remove some plants from the gardens to let the limo out down the bottom. Honestly, it was a fucking huge limo.

Charlotte was very well behaved during the ceremony. She stood up with Nadia (the bridesmaid who was her chaperone) and was nice and quiet. Then she discovered the hedge behind her and played with that for a while. Then found a big leaf and ran off with it. It was just beautiful. Amanda looked lovely, and her and Kieran looked happy.


After the ceremony we sat in the gardens and had drinks and nibbles, then moved inside for the reception dinner, followed by dancing. It was awesome. It was nice to have all my family in one place at one time. We totally pwnd Amanda’s family in terms of attendance. There was many more of us Taylors and Davies.

It was a great evening and night. What a success. The weather was really clear and calm, and everyone was in such a good mood. I can only hope that one day if I get married it’ll be half as awesome as this. The speech Kieran gave about him and Amanda and how much he loves her, he was in tears, it was just really touching. And everyone was just so happy and proud for them.

You can see all the photos plus lots of videos of the bride coming in and the announcements in my Kieran and Amanda’s Wedding Picasa album.

Happy New Year!

Wow, 2008 already eh? I remember going into town and getting trashed and celebrating the incoming millenium… wow, that was a great party. Someone going for a pee on a traffic island, someone ending up with my top in their backpack and it going all the way to Masterton, and I had to track them down and get it mailed back because it wasn’t mine.

So what did I get up to this year? Nothing at all. I stayed home and played with Charlotte, and then she went to bed so I watched tv. There was no New Years shows on or anything. There were only crappy movies about American football, Gridiron Gang and something else. And Hostel and I Know What You Did Last Summer. I guess they assumed everyone went out somewhere eh? Well, what about parents with kids to watch!? So I watched some crappy movies, it was okay. And talked to special people like John on IRC.

So, it was a good way to ring in the New Year. Doing what I love to do. I would rather talk to my friends than get pissed with some people and end up barfing in a gutter somewhere.

So here’s to a fab 2008. I have a lot of exciting plans. First thing is to sleep :)
