¿Viva Los Mexico!

Lolz so this week we had to pay some bills, and book a hotel room for the wedding coming up, and we didnt have much left over to play around with and go out...

So I made a little "Fiesta" in our lounge room and we had a Mexican Date Night.

 I made a cake, which was ultra simple and only took about 45 minutes to whip it up and cook it from scratch! I covered it with some caramel topping like you would use on ice cream.
I spread some blankets and pillows out on the floor so we would have a nice soft place to sit and it would be like a little mini picnic (since it was raining outside we couldn't really go out there...and we don't have anywhere to sit since Sade ate out lawn chairs...)

I lit a few candles and put them around the room, because it was such a blah day outside they suited everything really well, if we were sitting at an old wooden table you would have thought it was an old movie at a bar! Speaking of a bar, no Mexican Date Night would be complete without some Sangria.... which Lewy so thoughtfully picked up on his way home from work to make our night more authentic.

 I set up a little table for our burrito fixins' and even added a little table cloth to make it a little more fancy, we had almost everything u could want for burritos, right down to the homemade guacamole! We were set for our little party, and as luck would have it Lewy did come home from work starving!
 So we sat down on our little indoor picnic blankets and got all comfy on the pillows I'd thrown about, and then we got started on the food, there were beans and cheese and sour cream everywhere! It was like we let dogs in the house to eat and they just knocked everything over and smeared it all over the plates! But nothing went to waste, there was only a little bit of guacamole left over and that's only because I don't like it so that was a special little treat for my bubz, and after all was said and done, we both had full tummies and were both a little bit tipsy from the Sangria, we decided to team with the theme of the night and watch some Mexican themed movies, so we watched Desperado with Antonio Bandares which I had never seen before, (I know you are all wondering how that's possible) and later on Lewy still got to go on the playstation and mess around with the boys, we both got to have a little time to do what we wanted to do, I got my date night and Lewy got his "boys time" it was a really good night and to be honest it cost less than $70 to do... Yes I know we had to stay home, and yes I know it was on the lounge room floor, but hey we don't have to be fancy all the time, sometimes going back to the basics and just having fun is really what it's all about!

So have a think about the last time you and your significant other had a nice little night out or in, maybe make it a surprise for them! And it doesn't have to be Mexican food, that just happens to be something both me and Lewy enjoy eating, but it can be changed to suit your personal tastes!

Loving Life at the moment....

Well going through previous posts it now seems that I am bi-polar..... I can go from loving life to hating everything in the span of a few hours.....

I guess its just a good thing that it doesn't really last long, and I usually get back to my happy self within a day or so.

This month is my birthday!!!! The big ol' 26th..... but lets face it, I'm not ready to be 26 yet so I've decided that this year I will be turning 24 again. And I will white girl sass you if you say anything to the contrary!

I've been working on a few things lately, gone into a little bit of a wedding planning mode even though we still havent set a date yet, but Lewy has been helping out a little bit, he's emailed me a few different places to look at that he liked (thats his job for the wedding he gets to pick the place and the date) and I get to pick everything else.... and so far except for those two things its pretty much ready to go!

I've been a bit sick lately, with a nasty chest infection, but after about a week of antibiotics I was finally able to kick it, and now I'm back to nearly 100%!

What have we been up to lately? Well this week I did my work shift where my big problem class finally turned out to not be such a big problem...

Tough love was all it took, my 3 girls who had never been swimming before in their lives are now paddling away on noodles and I can barely keep up with them! There are sometimes tears, when they go under the water unexpectedly, so I've gotten into the habit of telling them they will be going under and it seems to ease the tears a little bit, I am so impressed with them though pretty soon I will be able to take their noodles away completely!

Friday I had to go down to Lewy's mum and dad's house to wait for the dishwasher repair guy to come in, I think he mistook me for an idiot who doesnt know how to use a dishwasher, because he felt the need to show me step by step the proper way to open the door and felt that he needed to remind me that I shouldnt put things on the door when its open.... like I've never had to use one before in my life.... the only thing that was actually wrong with it was that the door had gotten jarred and wasnt closing properly, it took him 5 minutes to fix, a 10 minute lecture on how to properly use it, and then another 5 minutes of trying to get a picture of the serial number on the side of the door.... I wanted to hit him XD
But about 15 minutes after he had come and gone Lewys mum came home from work and we went out for lunch and got sushi, got some groceries and then we all decided to wash the cars since it was FINALLY a warm day.

Saturday we got up bright and early because we had to go vote.... and that doesnt even matter because the person I voted for didnt get in, and now the country will probably go straight to crap like it did the last time. But dont get me started on that....
Lewy took me out for a surprise day to Dural! We went and played putt putt and oh my gosh we had so much fun! I even got sun burnt.... on one arm....I even fail at tanning properly. He ended up beating me badly but I did get a hole in one! It was a really good day, nice and w

arm and sunny, there were flower and fruit stands all along the roads, and best of all I got to spend the whole day with my bubby <3

Today the rain clouds are coming in.... even mother nature is mourning the new pm choice, but we still went out for a little shopping trip, just to the local stores but we got ourselves some new sheets for the bed, and brand new pillows, we went and had a look around some of the charity shops and found a nice little lounge that would be perfect for the "man cave" but we didnt end up getting it because it wouldnt have fit in my car....
Then we went and grabbed a sushi lunch and some starbucks and headed home before we got caught in the rain, changed the sheets on the bed and put up the new pillows, and watched some movies ^_^ all in all it's been a really good week!

I hope all of you have had a good one as well!
