    I want to post up a thread a la gala darling: things I love Thursday.

    http://galadarling.com/tag/things-i-love-thursday/

    Every weekend my friend and I send each other an email detailing the things that we really loved throughout the week. We changed it to ‘what I love this week’
    It’s as simple as a nice shop assistant, or cuddles with the dog, adding cream to your coffee or a new food or band you’ve found. The aim of the game is to make[u] a list[/u] of positive experiences/ things even when you’ve had a shit house week.
    In nzgirl speak: it’s one part stoked 2.0 thread, one part hot 5, and a whole lot of finding something in your week that was good, no matter how small.
    If anyone is keen, post something- cos trust me, it makes you feel better.

    This week I love..

    My shiny new bike and riding it to and from work in the sunshine.
    Getting told I look cute with my hair in plaits and should do it more often.
    A bourbon and a massive chat on the porch with an awesome awesome lady.
    A really amazingly good nights sleep last night.

    Thanks captain starfish. I’m sitting at my desk feeling utterly miserable cause I’m fighting with my boy and this is JUST what I needed. You rock!! :)

    Finding the perfect little black dress

    Knowing that I am going to Grandma’s for tea and that she will have made my Favorite biscuits just for me

    $5 film preview screenings – seeing random/ different films and expanding my mind alittle

    It being warm enough at night that the e-blanket isn’t needed anymore

    Having a wonderful family/ boyf/friends and that they are all safe and fairly healthy

    lovely, bubbly, friendly shop assistants who remember my name!

    I love doing this, it helps so much to stop and have a look at your life and realise that it really isn’t all that bad! In fact there are a lot of things that are actually really good.

    That in just over a week, I’ll be a Senior Student of Naturopathy, Nutrition, and Herbal Medicine.

    That tomorrow is the first of the run of exams and assessments we have.

    That I’ve cleared out my room, got rid of 2 (very big) rubbish bags full of stuff I don’t need or use anymore, and have 3 bags of clothes for the Salvation Army to give away this weekend. And didn’t feel at all sentimental about it.

    And now my boyfriend has room to move in and drawers to fill.

    That it’s warm and summery and lovely.

    That tomorrow after our presentations we’re doing secret santa and a shared lunch in the beautiful herb garden at uni, in amongst the flowers and the bees, spending time not stressing and just having fun in each other’s company.

    And I got my secret santa the most AMAZING present and she’s going to absolutely love it, and I can’t wait to see her face because she’ll be stoked.

    That I feel sort of like I’m on top of my study, kind of.

    That holidays are coming.

    That I have so much to be thankful for.

    That tonight I’m going to Our House: Ten Years

    That I get to see my boyfriend in like 8 hours! (We’re doing the LD thing)

    That it’s sunny!

    And that my wonderful workmates went out of their way to help me when I crashed my new car earlier in the week.

    This thread is awesome!

    I’ve mastered the blowdry. My hair is all poofy and glossy and yum

    I went to the most beautiful wedding EVER yesterday. Her 89-year-old grandad gave her away and was in tears walking down the aisle cause he was so proud of her. And their first dance was to Flightless Bird American Mouth, which I thought would be cheesy because of Twilight but it was absolutely beautiful

    Only 3 weeks till I’m on holiday!

    The weather has been amazing

    The aftershocks have finally stopped *don’t jinx it*

    All the christmas decorations are going up. I’m obsessed with christmas!

    Overall life is awesome (:

    Spend the whole day at the beach with the family, throwing a stick into the water for the dog to chase, had mean fish and chips and read a few more pages of Freedom (which I am just [i]struggling[/i] through right now, ugh, get more interesting pleaseeeee) baked pleasantly for about an hour and am not burnt at all and a few shades deeper.

    had some bevvies when i got home (mmm summer ale so damn gooooood) and am just chilling out for the rest of the evening.

    That my brother just made a lovely invite to his post-wedding drinks in a couple of weeks. He’s having a really tiny private wedding – only a very few of us invited, basically immediate family plus Grandma – and then we’re going for dinner after, but they hired a bar so all the extended family and friends are invited. The invitation was so lovely and I’m so happy for him, it’s all coming together wonderfully.

    So I love that he’s in love and he’s happy. That makes me happy.

    Also, my boyfriend makes me happy. <3

    Two hour conversations with the boyfriend and his parents, who I haven’t spoken to in ages but who I love to bits. Lots of joking and silliness and planning what’s happening over here and talk of having next Christmas over in the UK, which would make me SO so so happy. I miss everybody there so much.

    And then the boyfriend falling asleep while on Skype because it was fuck a.m. over there and me having to yell down the mic until he woke up again so he didn’t drop his laptop, bahahahaha. Toooooo gorgeous.
