Well I Did It!

FINALLY (notice the caps) completed Kingdom Hearts 2 - after something like 125 hours it is done complete, 100%, seen the secret ending and now want MORE.

Mind you feeling pretty stoked so now can get back to real life - whatever the heck that is - and also VERY pleased that the French got walloped by the English in this morning's Rugby World Cup Semi Final -now it is just up to South Africa over Argentina tomorrow morning (our time) and then the final next weekend - the All Blacks are STILL the greatest rugby team in the world - but we will let someone else borrow that name till 2011 when the World Cup will be held HERE in little old Auckland. BRING IT ON!

Hi De Hi

Sorry about the lack of posts lately but honestly have not been doing too much which is SO NICE! We finished up Forget Me Knot at Dolphin (our 7th show for the year) so basically we are just r-e-l-a-x-i-n-g before Summer and Xmas are on our door step.

The big bit of news of course is that I am directing next year. I am doing a play called THE LARAMIE PROJECT, which I have been taking around theatres for what seems like forever and finally someone has agreed to stage it with me at the helm! VERY exciting, nerve-wracking, excrutiating, tense and any other scary thought you can come up with.

However have decided that this weekend will not even think about it - we are staying at The Langham ALL WEEKEND (can't wait), so will be a time to catch up with some of Ian's lovely friends from work, but also a time to soak in the tub with lots of bubbles, dye my hair, de fuzz my legs and all that other lovely girly stuff that I never seem to get time to do.

Also the MIGHTY All Blacks are playing this weekend in the build up to the semi-finals of the World Cup, so yet another excuse (not that I need one) to lie in the GORGEOUS Langham Bed, drink Champagne and cheer for the AB's - ahh 'tis a tough life - HAVE A GOOD ONE!

Go The AB'S


Well what a fantastic way to start the Rugby World Cup 76-14 All Blacks vs Italy - a complete walk over but their arrogance was notable especially when they huddled during the HAKA - ha oh well serves em right (can you tell I am slightly biased KIWI?)
Oh well onwards and upwards - and i am feeling portugal's pain even before their next game which is against - yep you guessed it the MIGHTY AB'S...

A Wee Break

Well after surviving the shock of my car getting a Warrant of Fitness (and believe me that TRULY was a shock) I am taking the next two days off work to celebrate my Mum's 73rd birthday and a late Father's Day and also to take my car into the mechanics for some much needed luving on Friday.

This week has been lovely and quiet actually - had my four BEST girlfriends over for a few "quiet" drinks on Saturday night, as Ian was away in Hamilton seeing his kids. Had a ball and sometimes we all get so caught up in living our lives we never get time to stop and actually appreciate and cherish the people that we hold so dear - so before I say anything else this is a public shout out to ANNIE, LISA, BRONNIE AND KATHRYN - LUV YOU LADIES xxxx.

Talking about appreciating things and people, earlier in the day I shouted myself to THE most blissful facial/massage I have EVER had (definately going back there) - once again I guess all about spending time, refocusing and just basically having some fun,quality ME time. (I know some people problably think it is ALL ABOUT ME but honest it isn't!)

What else? um I am still playing my Kingdom Hearts 2 game (up to about 80 hours at the mo) and prob still a good 10 to go - but that is only because I am silly and like to make sure I have EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING in the game, which I am sure only people aged 40 and over really do!

But of course THIS WEEKEND will be an entirely different thing with THE RUGBY WORLD CUP about to start in Paris - so there will be many many late nights/ early mornings (note to self go shopping and buy lots of coffee/ tea and other "energy" drinks - cause I'm a thinking we are gonna need them).....

Anyway that's it for now, have a great weekend AND GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!!
