Peep Peep!! Scrapping Thomas the Tank Engine
This is to say Thank You to the following Fiskateers - the lovely Kimberlee #1977 and the lovely Hisaho #1178 for sending me the Thomas paper for these pages, Kimberlee sent me a couple and Hisaho sent me a full Sandylion kit, all of which has gone to great use.
Im feeling a bit uninspired at the mo so Ive been trawling online galleries for ideas and scraplifting...so credit is due to the artists who's idea I have scraplifted for these pages.
These are my pages - I had alot of photos from this outting - and it was hard to pick just a few photos - of course I have pleanty of paper left I could use to make another page but three is enough for now I think :o)

Mini Golf with Meggie Boo
Jan 29th 2009
So my Meggie boo had a few vouchers for mini golf she had won last year and it was promised that Aunty Bronwyn would take her out to play...and the vouchers we're both due to expire and so the last day of the school holidays we used one and played mini golf.
I learnt the moment I walked in there once your a McAulian your always a McAulian and your spoted out of in the crowd like a sore thumb as the say......lol. The girl who served me knew i was familiar and asked me where I liked and I told her and she said a number code and I said no....she goes oh you look familiar I said to her "McAuley??" She goes to me thats it!!
So Meggie got to pick which course we did and she picked the black course which is actaully aprently the hardest course! I have no idea how to play Mini Golf (Renee from work thought this was funny as..haha) and so I just made up numbers of the score card! Lol the whole point was to have fun...
After we finished playing we went to the airport to look at the planes to find they dont have the look out anymore - so we went up the road to one of the side of the road and watched the planes coming in to land and taking off..I promised my niece that one day I will take her on a plane somewhere...
I have the photos printed off ready for a double page layout for this day - now to just track down where I put the score card thingy too..

Exciting..NOT lol
Well that was a bit of a boring week at work - thankfully its starting to pick up a bit at nights...
Monday lunch saw us with 3 fire engines, one from Takapuna, one from Devonport and one from Birkenhead, an Ambulance, and a couple of cop cars on Hurstmere Road across at the apartments - who knows what was up but their alarms were ringing, and the boys (and ladies if there were any) were all out full decks with tanks and all breath equiptment - it stopped traffic...but not enough as what it did a year ago when we had a big fire in our kitchen at work!
Tuesday morning saw an Ambulance rush down the Promenarde, and the same thing on Friday lunch and Saturday Dinner...all down the same street...! Nothing exciting ever happens on Hurstmere Road...lol...unless you count the guy who slammed his breaks on at the crossing and me looking to see what it was for to see a co worker "Bobble Head or Big Bird" he has two nick names - coming across the street...
Also on Tuesday I drove past my best friend who works up the road twice....lol texting him going I SEE YOU!! And him going where...to which I replied where...to have him confirm it was him... :P My best friend whom is the reason I work on the lovely North Shore...
Thursday I had a text from one of my managers saying it was his 30th - HAPPY DIRTY 30s DARLING!!! Saying he was having drinks at Takapuna Bar....I was contemplating going and would only go if I knew of any of my other co workers who were going...(I mean this is me having to drive all the way to the shore for no work related things knowing full well people would have a bitch at me about lol - honestly you lazy sods its not that far away at all!! It is the same distance to West Auckland or East Auckland from South Auckland!) - so it was off to the shore I went..I pulled up at the Copper Room by some of my co workers - it must say it was rather superising seeing one of my managers drunk....to think at least I wont be at work the next day with a hang over..nothing like being professional at work... hahaha - anyway so we wondered off through the teeny boppers crowding the bars on Hurstmere Road down to Takapuna Bar....where more of us from work were gather...I hada cranberry juice shoved in my hand...with a snid comment from one of the chefs calling me a pussy - Im not a pussy Im just being a good girl right now and not drinking...not when I had a double the next day at work and was driving...Im not that stupid.
I was greeted with a big hug from the birthday boy - whom I havent seen for a couple of months due to him going back to Brazil for a holiday - Im patiently waiting for my postcard that he sent me.....I gave his present which he opened and had to show everyone - it was field day for all the gay guys....hahahaha....he chowed down on his choccies from me...
I had a minor bitch at the bar, who werent serving any food at all and it was just after 9pm - knowing full well its against Host Responsiblity and the Liquor Act...(see I did learn something from that paper 4 yrs ago) - the guy at the bar mumbled something and walked away.....so a few of us went over to the road to Pita Pit - Pita Pit is a palce that has open resently, basically its a bit like subway only you have Pita Bread Pockets instead of Subs....and well its crap! Their meat is very fatty...and there is no taste at all....I wont be going back there any time soon! I gapped it back to South Auckland by 1am....so I could get some shut up eye before my double the following day....
I really hope business starts picking up more on the street...only a month and half left of work then Im back into my diploma...really need to focus on Uni more this year than I did last year - especially if I want to get the same high grades I got last semester...to prove to them that I can make it through...and when I am up there getting my Diploma I will give all my lecturers and heads of school the one finger salute who thought i would crash and burn in my first month there...I made it through one semester at your money scamming hell hole and Im still going!! You cant get rid of me that easy!! Im really looking forward to when I get to graduate....YAY!! Its only a year and half away...or two...we will say two to be safe...I have four paper per semester, and I have elective papers on top of those....and the possiblity of summer school...so I can either cut my time or increase my time...
Either way, I cant wait till I get to wear the cape and hat and get my DIPLOMA....and shove my middle finger to the world and all the losers and tosses...thats you too Mr. Stalker!! At having gone to University....after having all my class mates from McAuley Girls bitch at me about not being at University after I finished high school, and being at tech instead.....hows that??

Broken Strings
Ok so I was sitting here online the other day - and my darling Robbie D signed in online and i sent him a huggle message knowing he would be busy or disappear offline in a few seconds or so later...lol I know him to well like that!! hahaha - he sent me a message saying he was busy which I already knew and guessed and then sent me a song file and of course the title of it wasnt showing not until it had sent complete when I squealed in joy and excitment that his new fave song was also my new fave song!!
The song is called Broken Strings by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado.
The song is called Broken Strings by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado.
Me and Rob have a love for her music...there have been a few songs that we relate to and I have been sent - one is Te Busque which is a Spanish song, that use to make him think of the two of us and of when we lost our baby...I have the english and spanish words to it in Gummi's memorial album I made...because of that sybolic meaning it held back then...
Most of my songs I have of Nelly Furtados have infact been sent to me by Robbie - he knows my music taste to a T! He knows that any song he sends me I will like - which is great - we dont have that problem when on Road Trips of what music we are going to listen too...we will both be happy singing alone to it...(For Example we dont have the problems I have of Mega in the back seat leaning forward while your driving changing the damn radio station while your driving - DONT FUCKING TOUCH MY RADIO!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE SLAPPED - Thats the rules we play by and Rob and I know those rules in our cars lol) - but its just great - Music does speak so much, real true music...that has feeling and meaning to it...even when your out dining and I find this at work - it sets the mood...even for staff memebers, sometimes we have Music playing at work that makes me soooo depressed and I just cant be arsed doing anything but when we have some good stuff playing (funny enough the stuff that Dom doesnt like us playing) is what really gets me going at work....I love it when Andrew and me are closing up and he puts Michael Jackson of U2 or something good on..the whole mood changes for us...
Anyway when I heard Broken Strings the first time I thought of the two of us, and its very heard when your listening to some songs and knowing their meanings....and thinking of those things...its never easy letting go of someone you love so much..in which case we do...very much...probably why we are still in each others lives still after 5 yrs...we have gone through alot. From what Ive heard and read about this song - ALOT of people thinks its a sweet cute love song - its not...its about breaking up...its about breaking up when you dont want to...but you have no other option as much as you love that person...and the song is about them loving each other so much...and yea...you got to lisen to it...and read the words and find the meaning behind it... You will have to search it on YouTube - I cant put a video up due to copyrights on the videos...and they all have enabled embedding!
Broken Strings - James Morrison ft. Nelly Furtado
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me now I cant feel anything
When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking it's the voice of someone else
Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
A lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late (too late)
Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worseI can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
But were running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)
You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again
God Im so fat in this pic lol...need a major updated one!
