Lastest Update

Well it's to be a while since I have posted to this blog and thought it was high time I did an update.

so where to begin...

On Saturday 17th May 2008 Otis and I went to the food show at westpac stadium with Beth & Bruce and Beca & G.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going next year.
It took us 4hrs to get around the whole thing but by the end of it we had tried alot of food and bought a few goodies to add to our pantry.

Fuse was then on again between 30th through to the 1st June at the Michael Fowler Centre.
Otis this year recorded the concerts like last year, and like last year he had good and bad moments of the weekend, however he did come away with some recordings.
Every year Otis work there the better he seems to get at it.
I decided that I had enough last year and was really going to stay out of the technical side of things however I was able to go along and enjoy the show which was nice.

Yes that right Otis and I have a new nephew

I found my cat...
Yeah thats right, after all that stress, flyer drops and web adds on the SPCA a lovely family found my cat under there house on 11th June 2008.
It had been 4 weeks since she went missing so she was a little skinny but we took her to the vet and got her checked and she was all okay.
Me and the family were so glad to have her home again.

Have you seen my Cat

Yes thats right, I've lost our cat.
She got out on Monday 12th May 2008 and now I can't find her.
Here name is Fluffly.
She was lost in Johnsonville, Wellington.
so if you see her please let me know.


So on top of all the stuff that has happened this week I am having this really tops the cake. I really really pray that God will look after her and bring her home to me.
Have a good rest of the week

How life can be so Precious....

Wow what a month I have had.
Its started out wonderful, I got to go to a scrap away weekend to Silverstream Retreat with scrapbook central and man on man did I have fun.
And I made the most amazing friends.
I came back from the weekend feeling refreshed and rested even though it was a busy weekend.

Work has been full on. I got a payrise at a price. YAH
HOWEVER I have had to change jobs and having to learn that job quite quickly. Its made life rather stressful and then on top of that a good friend of mine passed away of Overial Cancer at the age of 38 suddnley.
Also on top of that the friend that died was actually my bosses sister, so alot of the staff were I work have not been here.
I not complaining and people need time and space but on top my plate, its made me a little more stressed but I am fully sure I'll get through it.

But on a up note this week I have been to a wine & cheese night at our friends Beth & Bruce. While there order some wine.
If you ever interested look at the website but read the conditions carefully.

I get to go to a make n take at Crafting Around with one of my new friends Katie and then on friday I've got the funeral to go to on friday in the morning and then in the evening I've been invited to a scrapping evening at Knox Presbyterian Church with another new friend Karen.

Then on Saturday Otis, I and maybe some other friends are off to The food Show.

So the week has started off pretty horrible but I am really hoping it will get better.
Take care till next time

Otis & Cath update

So an update for you all.

Well since Jade baptism life has been really busy.
Patches our cat got pregnant and had four beautiful kittens
Two black and white males and two torshell females.


We gave away 3 of the 4 kittens and have kept one.
Since Patches has had her kittens she would not stop marking her territory and fighting with our other cat Muppet.
A vet advised me this would not stop this as she was trying to be dominant in the house so Otis and I made the hard decision for her to live somewhere else.
The good thing is that she has ended up going to live with a friend of mine. I hear she is settling in rather nicely.

So meet the new family member to our house

Enzo

I have started up facebook, I found it rather interesting how many people were on there I know.
So of you find me, please add me to your friends as I need a few more friends.

Also Otis Parents came down and stayed with us for one night on Anzac weekend.
It was great to catch up with them and spend a bit of time with them.

Well bye for now until my next entry

Jade Baptisum

Well unfortantly both Otis and I were unable to make it to Auckland last weekend for Baby Jade Baptisum.

Instead Karen was lovely enough to share photo's and coz I love being an aunty, I want to share them with you.

Man how Jade is growing so fast, both Otis and I are looking forward to hopefully coming up to Auckland soon and seeing all the family and seeing Jade.

3, 2, 1 Toss

So I better tell you what this was all about.

At work we listen to MoreFm Wellington and currently they have a competition going where you have to risk something big to gain big.
So I decided to enter. You know me, I felt I had nothing to lose.

Well I got a call on Monday after (3/3/08) to advised I was one of the three people to go for this.
First I was excited and then the nervs hit in about what if I lose my item.

I better tell you the whole competition I had to risk my cell phone and the sim card to possibly gain a new cell phone.

So the toss was held on Tuesday 4th March 2008 at 7.40am at Nick Corner (Corner of Old Bank Aracade)
But before this I not only had a stressful sleep wondering what the heck I had got myself into, then to get a wake up call at 5.45am from Nick @ MoreFm(I didn't know this time existed) I then got yet another call at 6.30am to be put on the radio.
All of this made my nervous worse.

So Otis and I (Yes I could not do this alone) went down to Nick Corner. We had to be there at about 7.20am, ready for the radio at 7.40am

so the time came all three of us there (Raewyn, Catherine and Lisa) with our phones on the line.
Lisa went first, then Raewyn and me last.
Nick tosses a coin if it landed on heads we got to keep our phone and we also won a new phone. If it landed on tails we got our phone smashed with a sledge hammer.

3, 2, 1

So no this was not my phone, unfortantly Lisa was first up and got tails so she had her phone smashed however Raewyn and I both got heads and won.
We got to keep our existing phone plus win the new one.

Yah...
This is my new phone

Nokia N70

Its a little to flash for me, has more features then I need. so Otis has eye on it hoping I'll give it to him.
But we will have to see.

Life goes on

Well we better fill you in on rest of the details.

So my flight to Auckland went well a little bummpy but I got there in the end.
was greeted at the airport by Sue & Brian which was rather nice.
They then took me to pick up the rental which took a while to sort out as not everything had been sorted out.
So after about 1hr I finally got a rental car and then after having to pick up a few errans for Otis, I headed back to Sue & Brians place for a bit of dinner then head off to Hamilton.
This had been the first time I had driven out or around Auckland so I was a little afraid but in the end I got out of Auckland via the North Shore.
By the way Sue & Brian live in Manakau.
Yes that right I went in the wrong direction.

So I finally got to Hamilton at 12pm and man oh man was I glad I arrived safe and sound.
Enjoyed a lovely weeknd at Parachute catching up with friends and just enjoying the weekend.
Then Monday came and we had to pack up and then Tuesday we headed home.
We got home safe and sound and then spent the rest of Tuesday unpack and tidy up the house.
what a long week.

Then during that week Otis started having bad tooth ache, so the following tuesday $300.00 later Otis ended have his tooth removed.
At this stage I was not sure I could handle anything else being thrown at us.
we will just see what the coming weeks have instore for us.
