A Quiet New Year - Huh!

Well so much for a quiet new year. On New Years day (after feeling decidedly tired) four of my best friends popped over for a few quiet drinks and a BBQ that didn't end until well after midnight, today another friend Kieran popped over and kicked my @ss at Guitar Hero and have just been rung by my darling man and we are being taken out to one of Auckland's Top Restaurants WHITE at the Hilton by clients of his who want to meet me. So in less than an hour I need to be ready and waiting before the limo arrives to take me to the Hilton. Man it is a tough life! Better go and get gorgeous (and I thought 2008 was going to be quiet!)

This is a piccie of the restaurant - review soon but it looks FAB!

....this one was NOT my fault..........

Can't believe I forgot to tell you about this..... Ian and I decided to treat ourselves and unlike most couples who would go out for a nice romantic dinner, maybe pack a picnic, a hot air balloon per chance??? Oh No not us! We didn't really do much for Valentines Day - what with rehearsals and work - so we finally got around to buying a WIRELESS CONTROLLER FOR GUITAR HERO! Oh it is So Cool! I Love It - Long Time and here it is !!! YAY

Should I Be Happy?

You know how when you, as a loving wife, say to your husband "darling, why don't you give this a go - it is really fun" and said husband is an ex professional musician....... well I am sure you can guess.........Ian has "discovered" Guitar Hero and now I can't get anywhere near it! AND he is REALLY GOOD!!!!! Seriously it is great he is enjoying it........... but man! Anyway gives me a chance to go through my script and have just finalised the sound for The Weir so that is sound down for two shows for 2007! Woohoo!

We were going to go out tonight to Stockcars but the weather has turned to ..... well I am sure you can figure it out :o( Needless to say have had to write this twice as just had a major power cut due to thunder (hmmmm maybe Ian caused the blackout with his awesome rendition of Spinal Tap!). So a quiet (well relatively if my husband continues to "rock this town") night tonight. Off to hand over sound tomorrow at Ellerslie to Des and then first run through of Act One of Grease! TTFN (ta ta for now) and thanks for everyone that pops in to check what I am up to! Ciao

Only one more sleep!

Had such a great day today. Catching up with two very special girlfriends (you know who you are!) Sometimes life (well my life in particular) gets so crazy busy that you forget to take time out and, even thought it sounds corny, "smell the roses" so to them and the many other people I adore in my life please understand that even though I don't see you as much as I may like you are ALWAYS in my heart.

Additionally I have been having a BLAST with my early Birthday Pressie from my main squeeze. Yes I am now the proud owner of not just Guitar Hero One but Guitar Hero Two with the compulsory guitar to go along with it. Crazy I know for a 40 something to be rocking out in her lounge but I Love It! And feeling quite proud of myself as have "nailed" ALL the songs on easy mode - even got a 100% on Smoke on the Water with something like 557 notes! Oi! So now working on doing the same in "medium" and trust me it is HARD!

Anyway only a couple of more hours and I will be 41! Yikes! mmmm maybe should start going backward 39 does somehow sound SO much better!

(oh and YAY! for Jennifer Hudson getting the SAG award yesterday - looks pretty obvious who will be getting the top acting awards for the Oscars but anything can happen on the night!) Ciao!
