A Bit of Blah
In cruise mode here in sunny Christchurch. Normally I would be away camping or such but Kevvy is doing a summer course and so we are here. I could go away on my own but I miss him too much! "Awwww" I hear you all say! So instead I have been pottering at home and catching up with friends. It has been so nice to not be tied to routine.
I loved the challenge of getting creative and adapting recipes to suit what I have on hand. Tonight's meal is chicken drumsticks marinated in Coconut Evaporated Milk and Tikka Masala paste. I might do a post on it if I can be bothered taking photos later.
I have a new haircut with a really thick fringe and I am having so much fun with it. I was imagining a 'rock chick' style (think Chrissy Heines), cos I am secretly a bit of a rock chick on the inside. But actually I have renamed my fringe style the vintage fringe because I have noticed several bloggers of vintage blogs with the same fringe. Kev reckons I look like Zooey Deschanel.
I bought some Croc jandels on sale and I tell you, it's like walking on clouds! But I have to admit, I'm a Crocs snob - never thought I'd ever own a pair - and wanted a bit more or a stylish look so I just added some bling over the labels and...ta dah!
Lastly, I love doing a jigsaw in the holidays. It's a great way to relax and can actually be quite social. Most people can't resist sitting together to put a few pieces in. I was hankering for a good jigsaw but hadn't found one I liked. Amazingly someone was reading my mind and I got this Wasjig for a late Christmas present!
I must remember to show you the finished product. I don't know why the female characters in Wasjigs always have to have big breasts. It brings back a funny memory of a time when Weza and I flatted together and were working on a Wasjig which we eventually aborted because it was just so jolly rude, we couldn't carry on! Especially with Weza's then 10 year old son floating around *suddenly feeling really old cos he turns 21 soon*! Do you remember Weza?
Well after finishing this long post, I have some questions for you all:
What do you like to do to relax in the holidays?
Are you a Crocs snob, or Crocs lover?
What are you having for dinner tonight?
What is a hairstyle you would love to have that brings out the inner you?

Can't see it myself but I'll accept his view on this one!
Anyway, check out my new style.

| The Rock Chick Look |
I have been having fun trying new styles and I wanted to share this one. I call it the 'birds nest'. I felt quite pretty and summery with this style. I love the variety of styles I can have.

| This is the scene and we have to make up the picture of what happens next. Little Jimmy refuses to eat his brussel sprouts - don't know why, brussel sprouts are delicious! He throws his veges around, and one sprout lands under a waitress' foot. I call it the 'Nek Minnut' jigsaw. |

| Nek Minnut so far...This is what we have achieved with a few friends over a few glasses of wine and some good music. |

This was really fun to read! Your new hairstyle is pretty! I like it all pinned up too!
As for your questions..
I don't know if I do anything much different from the usual to relax during the holidays...hmmm.
I'm not a fan of crocs, but I've never seen their flipflops until reading your post. I think they look nice, and I like your little bit of bling!
We had chili for dinner tonight.
As for a hairstyle.. I would love to pull all of my hair back. I know it sounds simple, but I've had bangs forever due to my rather large forehead, and I would love to just be able to pull it all back and have that fresh, simple look.
I cant believe I ever aborted anything because it was too rude. You know me I love a bit of naughty. Haha. I have a wasjig sitting on my cupboard, perhaps I should give it a go.
Now for the questions,
I just saw a really cool idea for making long hair look short. Am going to give it a go. Perhaps I should post about it.
Im a havianna fan. all the way!
We are having pizza tonight. Cheap tuesday - I am having a ciabatta on which is the biggest loser pizza. Do you have it in NZ?
Holidays? What holidays? I am always working doing things like swimming and movies. Its hard work I tell you!
Great post my friend.
Haha Weza the Wasjig in your cupboard is probably the rude one! Just don't let the girlies see it!
Thanks for visiting my blog :) Always nice to meet new people - specially other Burwood/ChCH people.... have enjoyed reading your blog too - I used to live in Whangarei.... worked in Mill Rd Vets and ran the cattery in Regent area.
Where are you moving to next - still this side of the city?
fi
haha!
Sorry but definitly a croc snob! I love how you covered the label with decal.
And yes! for the wasjig. We set one up to the family (adults) to do last christmas at the bach. I could never do one by myself..but it was fun...doing a bit...and coming back later...doing a bit more.
