“If people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting out front door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us”
-Paulo Coelho’s By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept-
And so it began… a crazy week…
Saturday, 22nd July 2006 - Kim’s 23rd Birthday Party
An invitation to an 80’s party…
The crazy birthday girl…

these two had us
rolling with laughter with their crazy antics.

So here we all are…lazing on a self made
drinking hut place with many pillows…

Those who drank too much and had difficulty getting up..

The ones that could stand up, with the support of other people of course.
CFB & LMM doing the stomach blow (love this pic)
A little booze here…a little booze there….
A whole lot of laughter, a whole bunch of smiles and Moon Patrol
Makes a fricking awesome party…

Off to a magical place…where the rest of the world is forgotten for a while. Leave your worries behind…forget just for tonight…let’s be a kid again.
Dinner with CFB at this awesome place…Rochester Park…LMM and TipsyFaeries joined us a little later. Played a couple of rounds of “Happy Family” had a couple of drinks…

With kick ass chiminchangas, chicken, salad..and I forget the rest…but I know it was awesome.

Wednesday, 26th July 2006 - Girls Night Out
“Keep it cool inside, if it’s strange, outside.”
A night out with the colleagues…
ColourfulShoes, Pouty, Sharkbait, Riddler & Turtle Jelly

CFB was there too…(thank you)

The seaweed dance…the “bardenter” in Turtle Jelly’s words..and a whole lot more booze..

Makes the AE girls slightly off their rockers…

Ok so maybe not all of us were of our rockers…

Thank you ColourfulShoes for running to grab the plastic bag.
Thank you Turtle Jelly for orange and lime…the fruit salad.
Thank you CFB for being there.
Thursday, 27th July 2006 - Sharkbait on a buzz
“Right about now, if I’d found the right words to say
I’d tell you you’re safe and take hold of your hand”
So I lied. I never really booked the tickets. I already knew it was sold out.
Why?
Because there must be some things that remain the same. At least a little bit.
Because conversations needed to take place.
Because sometimes sms aren’t enough.
Because you needed it.
Because I needed it.
Just because…
A new job. A new boy. Fights. Upsets. Laughter. Smiles. 20 embarrassing questions. Revealing photos. Secret pet names. Positions. Length.
Now all of these need to be shared and made fun of.
It’s the way “Best Buds” work.

What better way to make it perfetct…rainbow colours, cherries, different toppings, a lot of fudge and heart.
“With the sun on your face
All these worries will soon disappear
Just follow me now”
