Wilson $3 parking. Look closer. It’s for half an hour. And what kicked me in the guts more was that on a Saturday Sunday I parked here assuming (stupidly) that it was one of the Wilson $3-all-day weekend parking lots. Nope. At least I only forked out $6 that day – imagine if I had stayed the whole day!

Cheeky signage! Grr.

We go to Bowlarama in Newtown after work for a couple games. I get a strike on the first bowl of the evening. That is in no way a reflection on the rest of the game.

Bowling balls at Bowlarama

We head to Palmie this morning. As usual I don’t get up early enough for breakfast, so it’s Mc Donald’s for breakfast. No complaints though.

Mmm healthy

My sister-in-law’s Jack Russell had puppies last month. They are uber cute. I would’ve taken this big ball of kawiiness if it wasn’t already taken. Instead I am adopting the runt – the less psychotic of the other two.

Awww!
Monday 16 March 2009
Time for some more cupcake paintings.

Painting in progress
Tuesday 17 March 2009
It’s bowling night with work again. This time we go to Bowlarama (seeing as it’s two games for one on Tuesdays). It’s a fine night and I walk home in a calming sunset.

We decide it’s time to do some grocery shopping. The weather decides it’s time for some rain.

You can stand under my um-barella
Project 365: Week 10
My week in photos as part of Project 365:
Thursday 5 March 2009
After watching Watchmen we walk home, going past the Century City Ho. Tonight all the letters are there but the “o” isn’t lit. One day they’ll get it right.

At least it's not a ho anymore
Friday 6 March 2009
One hot day I left this candle on the window sill. It softened so much that it bent over under its own weight. Now it’s just decorative because lighting it would make a huge mess.

Not suitable as a candle

My new iPod Nano finally has songs on it.

It makes the bus rides each day a little nicer
Sunday 8 March 2009
Lunch with some lady friends at Sweet Mother’s Kitchen. Their service is still meh but the curly fries are good.
By the way, if you get one of their sweet pies and they ask if you want cream, yoghurt or ice cream with it, don’t expect the ice cream to be free! The other two are included in the price but the ice cream will cost you an extra $2 (regardless of whether they tell you that or not).

One curly fry

I am off sick today. At least I manage to do something creative so the day isn’t a total waste.
I find out that Ms Constantine is also off sick. (For the record, our absences were purely coincidental.)

Tuesday 10 March 2009
Another one of those days where I almost fail this project. Out of desperation I take a photo of anything that is around me. This is one of our coasters.

Amen to that!
Wednesday 11 March 2009
It’s cold today. Time for boots again. Winter – *sigh*.

These boots were made for walking - but only short distances
Project 365: Week 9

Thursday 26 February 2009
Shooters after work for some drinks, nibbles and pool. One of my nicknames is monkey, so I had to take this picture of their cocktail menu.

Is the menu trying to say something?
Friday 27 February 2009
I adopt a new soft toy at work. I name him Ping and he wears a head band that says “Ichiban” on it (meaning “Number one” in Japanese).

Ping makes his home on my desk
Saturday 28 February 2009
We fly to Auckland for a three-day weekend. Before we leave, I cut the hubby’s hair in a hurry. I also cut my finger for the first time ever while cutting hair. Ouch. I now have a nice v-shaped flap, which is slowly healing.

"v" for "very silly"
Sunday 1 March 2009
My friends Ryan and Nicola have their engagement party today. It’s an afternoon tea with lots of goodies including these little cupcakes that someone made. I’m quite impressed by the buttercream roses.

Delectable pretties
Monday 2 March 2009
On the last day of our Auckland weekend, the hubby and I go to Lilliput Minigolf in Mission Bay. This is where we had our first date almost eight years ago.

You missed the hole...
Tuesday 3 March 2009
Bowling with workmates at the Lanes today. There are lots of nibbles and by the time I get home, I don’t want much for dinner. I decide that a cob of corn freshly picked from the garden would be good. And it was :)

Nom nom nom
Wednesday 4 March 2009
This is what happens when cherry tomatoes cross with beef steak. You get mini beef steaks! They are so cute.

Not quite big enough for your sandwich
Project 365: Week 8
My week in photos as part of Project 365:
Thursday 19 February 2009
Work is bugging me – in paticular, a dumbass senior manager is making dumbass decisions, again. We have nicknamed her Pony because she clomps around as if everything is a matter of life and death (because she’s *so* busy). Now that I think about it, the nick name Dumb Ass is even more suitable. This is her.

Throw oats at it.
Friday 20 February 2009
Torrential rain this morning. The puddles of water are impressive!

At least I don't have to water the garden.
Saturday 21 February 2009
We take a nosy at this year’s Cuba Street Carnival parade. There was even a giant cupcake that zoomed around but I only have my phone camera and it’s too poos to take quick photos.

A performer on stilts.
Sunday 22 February 2009
So much wind today! My washing is in danger of taking off over the fence.

At least they'll dry quickly
Monday 23 February 2009
I get a package from my sister in law – it’s sprinkles! I love how she has addressed it to the Dixon Cupcake Company – hehe.

My own cupcake company would be sweet
Tuesday 24 February 2009
Mmm Awesome Foursome icecream.

I scream for ice cream
Wednesday 25 February 2009
Dinner at Arashi tonight. The hubby has to go back to work at 7:00 so it’s a short and sweet catch up with Ms Constantine and her Boy.

Japanese paintings at Arashi
