Happy Long Weekend

I had a blissful long weekend that included good friends, family, food and wine and it doesn't get much better than that!

Thursday night my dad, step mum, brother, his girlfriend and I went to the footy to see Geelong beat Collingwood, which was a brilliant start to the long weekend. Then I hung out with my dad and step mum in their hotel room where we chatted and raided the mini bar until early in the morning.



Friday I had the house to myself for the first time since I moved in last August and it felt very luxurious. I spent the day on the couch eating mini Easter eggs and watching a heap of trashy TV shows that I had saved in my planner (Gossip Girl, The Hills, The Real Housewives of the OC, Bridezillas). Later that night I lit all the candles in my house, opened a bottle of red wine and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.



Saturday I got the train to Geelong to have a girls night in with the girls I used to work with about 7 years ago while I was at uni. One of the girls has lost a stack of weight and another one announced she is pregnant. So it was happy times all around, especially when mixed with a whole lot of gossip and citron vodka with cranberry juice until late into the night!



Sunday I met with a friend for lunch in one of Richmond's great pubs where we enjoyed the traditional parma and pot on a warm afternoon in the sun. That evening all my family came over to my place for my mum's traditional roast beef with yorkshire pudding and gravy and way too many Easter eggs.



Monday was a day to sleep in, relax, clean, do washing and watch a Gilmore Girls marathon. Some time during the day I got a craving for taco's, so me and a my flat mate went into the city to buy taco's and then ate them on a picnic blanket in the Botanic Gardens while the sun set.



Tuesday back to work.

  2. Randomly found your blog. Just thought I would tell you how stunning you look, and I think you can leave off the "if you lost weight" part of your blog name. You are beautiful! Your writings really resinated with me. I hope that you just treat yourself well, and love yourself. You are worth it!

  10. I have somehow stumbled across your blog and had a look a through. I read in one previous post that you were considering a lapband.I was banded in November 07 and it was the best thing I have ever done!! I started off at 138kgs and am now 85kgs. It hasn't been easy but it has been the only thing that has worked for me and I couldn't be happier - what's more, I kow I am never going to be that fat person again. Get it done!!
