Home Alooone...

I drive home from work at 9pm. It's pitch dark outside on a Friday night, not many people are around, either at home or already in town enjoying the last of the 'after-work'drinks' circuit. I pull up my driveway and the house is dark. No windows lit up, nobody home.

I'm strange about being home alone. During the day I love it, indulge in it, watching too many movies, playing guitar as loud as I can, cooking delicious food I don't have to share. But at night it seems lonely. I can still do all the same things, but I don't. It feels weird cooking dinner at 9pm, it's verging on too late for a movie as I have work in the morning, and nights are to still and quiet to sing at the top of my lungs.

 You also get weird I"M SO BORED photos of me. Sorry bout that, I'm gonna regret these in the morning.

It's kind of an awkward state of limbo, need to do something, don't know what to do. And yet if my family WAS here, I would probably be doing the exact same thing I'm doing now. Watching Pretty Little Liars for the billionth time. But I am here by myself, which means you get a weird, rambling blog post, where I attempt to write creatively to curve my boredom.

A Day on the Farm

I visited my Dad this weekend, and he lives on a small farm just out of town. He told me they had picked up a few new animals recently so I was quite excited to see them! In addition to two new cows (who were unfortunately hiding while I was out with my camera) there were four teenage (not baby lambs, but not quite sheep) lambs for me to visit!

My favourite of all the lambs was Sparky...

He used to be someone elses pet lamb before we got him, so he was quite friendly. It took him a little while to warm up to me but once he did, we were besties! Look at that face! (not mine, his!)

Unfortunately Sparky probably wont be with us long, you can probably guess what will happen, I'm going to choose to ignore it! But it was a lot of fun hanging in the paddocks over the weekend, though I'm a city girl at heart, I do love me some country living!

And just to end the post on an adorable note and hopefully make you all go "naaaaaaw"...

Big hello to all my new followers! I can't wait to get to know you guys :)

Until next time

Sunday Confessions

I can't believe its Sunday already. This weekend has gone so fast its ridiculous. I had a blast last night at my friends 21st, watching my cities team win the Super 15 Rugby final GO THE CHIEFS, and catching up with friends. Now its Sunday and I have to head back to Uni tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. Although my huge assignment is basically finished now so thats a relief.

So, my Sunday confessions...

1. I borrowed fancy camera off the Uni again for my assignment and instead I spent the weekend taking photos of my cat. Its not my fault she's so cute!

2. Its only Week 3 back at Uni and I'm already sick of it. I'm busier and more stressed than I have ever been and I'm ready to graduate already!

3. I can cook a delicious omelet but I cannot flip them at all. Oops.

4. I am on the hunt for a new dress (even though I have no money). Its 21st season and I need a new one! Any suggestions of cheap online clothes stores?

5. Its been raining all weekend and I am loving it! I complain about it during the day but as soon as its the weekend, I welcome the rain. I have been inside all day watching Lost and listening to the sound of the rain on the roof.

Tomorrow I'm back into Uni and all the business that comes with it. Although I am going to see Magic Mike on Wednesday BOO YAH, I think sexy shirtless guys is a fantastic way to take a break from assignments...

Home Sweet Home, Thank God.

Phew. 

Man it is good to be home. I have been non-stop busy for the last two weeks and I'm glad to get to come home for the weekend and have someone else cook for me and do my laundry. Small pleasures at this point guys. Small pleasures. However now that I'm home I'm feeling like I'm on holiday which is bad because I still have an assignment to finish by Sunday at the latest. Eep.

This particular assignment has involved a lot of googling After Effects tutorials, yelling at After Effects, yelling at my laptop, trying to avoid yelling at my lecturer... Basically a lot of yelling. And stressing. Gah! And hangin out in this room that has no windows and makes people (erm, me.) go a tad crazy after sitting in it for 4 hours...

and staring at this screen, full of complicated buttons and video footage.

But while I'm home I have a lot of sleep to catch up on, two 21sts to attend (one being LMFAO themed which I assume will be HIGH-larious! Still need to find a costume...) and lots of watching Lost and snuggling with my cat. Can't wait!

Hope you enjoy your weekends as much as I am going to!!
