Far Too Long!

Dear Diary,

It has been far too long since I last wrote to you and I do apologise.
It has been a hectic few weeks! From work to the cinema, including a surprise birthday and a quilt - I have alot to tell.

So cinema trips - I have been completely spoilt with heart throbs the past few weeks, Paul Walker and The Rock in fast five! No I am not a Vin Diesel fan! sorry. Followed by Patrick Wilson in Insidious which scared the beejesus out of me! Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the same-titled film and last but not the least Robert Pattinson in the emotional rollercoaster that was Water for Elephants - which I just had to see twice. So as you can see between work and day dreaming i've been running out of time.

Also in my spare time I have been completing my mums birthday present which myself and my sister have been trying to complete since before christmas. A quilt!! which was challenging enough as i'm not particularly craftly skilled! My mum started it after she had an operation several years ago and as soon as she was well it was escorted to the loft where it collected alot of dust. My and my sister found it and rescued the poor thing and decided to finish it as a gift. so now it is all hand sewn and looking gorgeous! Only took me nearly six months!

And then onto the surprise party which was for my dad's 50th. I have mixed feelings toward this - one feeling is that we can now get OAP discount and when he farts and laughs we can blame it on hysteria. The other feeling? I remember when I was little and I couldn't contemplate the idea of my dad being 50 ever! and I guess now that he is getting on its making me realise that I am getting on a bit too! hmmph - will have to do something about that. Anyone know a good plastic surgeon? lol.

So a busy little bee and then it was Joe's birthday, my not-so-better half, the day after my mums, which is 5 days after my dads! Bless him he sort of got forgotten about in all the madness - but he got a wrestling T-shirt and I let him have control of the remote ALL day! What more could he want?

And to top off this busy week I will be seeing Pirates of the Carribean tonight in 3D. Johnny Depp in 3D! Can't wait.

Until next time......
