On my lonesome

The last 3 weeks, Ryan has been away training and ive been on my lonesome. First time since moving to Darwin and I was a bit concerned about my safety, boredom and eating when bored. So far my safety has not been compromised, I really haven't been bored which means I havent been eating unnecessarily- Yay to me. The first couple of nights were a bit scary but its all good now. Jacksons been sleeping inside every couple of nights and he has been super good. He sleeps all day and then can sleep all night. I want to be like him. I feel I have been soooooooooooo busy you know. All my friends up here have been super awesome. Having me over for dinner and inviting me to the movies- here -there -everywhere. I really need a break!

This week is going to be NOOOOOOOO DIFFERENT.
Tonight- Zumba
Tomorrow night- Hash
Thursday night- Zumba or Trivia with hash at the pub
Plus i go to the gym 4 times a week and 2 times on the weekend- good thing is ive lost almost 6kgs in the last 7 weeks!! woot wooot
Then i want to have a couple of my girlfriends over because they have been looking after me ( they are mums of kids around 17) and I call them my Darwin mums. So i have to fit that in.
I thought 4 weeks would go real slow but its flown. He is due back next Friday- not long now!!

Since we last spoken the banana tree broke in the middle of the main stalk. The flower got too heavy and snapped. I was devastated! But i got some rope and tied it all up. They look like they are still growing but im not sure. Have to wait it out. I poured down rain last Friday night for about 20 minutes. I was watching TV in bed and heard it. Sounded sooo nice.. Havent seen any rain since. Its the build up at the moment and one day its going to get super muggy and wam bam thank you mam- its the wet season. Totally cant wait. Massive storms and heaps of rain. Everything will turn green and just be beautiful. Might even a get a cyclone. Fingers crossed we dont.

Work has been super good. I have been offered a full time position in the Quality Assurance office. Will be a great learning opportunity and im really excited to get in there. I think i will start there full time in a couple of weeks. For once I can say I really enjoy my job. I loved working at the pharmacy- so its a Darwin-i really enjoy my job.

Something else that has happened is, i mastered the application of liquid eyeliner. I have wanted to do it for years but never got around to teaching myself. I use a pencil on the bottom but liquid on the top of the lid and it looks awesome. Sometimes i leave the pencil off the bottom and it sorta opens my eyes a bit more. I love makeup and am soo excited to show Ryan when he gets back. He hasnt seen me with liquid eyeliner before..

I also found an awesome take away place. Its called Wild Burger.. My friend Mel and I go there at least once a week for lunch and get prawn wrap. Soo yummy and only $7.50 They are big wraps too. They shouldnt be too fattening. But all the same its nice as.

And on a very interesting note- I sold our home gym yesterday. Ry asked me to try sell it while he was away. They came to pick it up and i was expecting a meathead to come to the door but an old man came and said that the guy Jason that i sold it too was in the car and had trouble getting out because he was a bit disabled. So i went to the car to say hi and say thanks for buying it. There Jason was, struggling to get out of the car. He said he broke is NECK! and needs the machine for rehab. You could tell that he uses weights every day because his arms were very shaped and had mussels. He obviously had brain damaged but i was soo impressed because he got inside and started helping his dad and brother pull apart this machine. He was also very smart- all of them were. Im happy the home gym didnt get bought by some douche bag wanting bigger guns. I havent told Ryan about it so when he gets home thats another surprise! Liquid eyeliner and no home gym in the spare room! yaya

Well i better be off coz i am at work..
love youxx
