competitions and weddings

i am a competition person. i love them. i always am entering competitions. not to the point that i enter ones i don't want to win. but you know, i never win. actually, that'a a lie. i did win a competition once when i was in primary school. i can't remember what it was, but i won $25 to put into my commonwealth bank dollarmite savers account. i think i was in grade 5??? my theory is that if you enter competitions, one day, surely you've got to win something. i mean my friends dad won a car. a teacher at school won a trip to europe. mum won myer vouchers, darren won money on deal or no deal. people do win things. surely it must be my turn soon!!!

anyway, had a good weekend. i had louise's hens night (see picture below) on friday night - my cousin for whom i am a bridesmaid in january. it will go down in history. we were going to have karaoke and dinner at this nice place then go and have dessert and games at briony's house. turns out there was no dinner and the place (shanghi club little burke street - don't ever go there) was not so great. so we all headed back to briony's much sooner than expected and had noodle box instead. the night was great in the end.

still on the wedding theme. i scored myself a gig doing amanda's hair next week for her wedding and all her bridesmaids too. that will be fun. i'll remember to put some photo's of that on a blog after the wedding (mum's asking for them!!!). so, after the hair trial this morning i made it to the shops and finally found something to wear (to jayne and amanda's weddings - don't tell anyone that i'll be wearing the same dress - two different crowds). special thanks to sarah, who after i randomly bumped into her, came and had a look at the dress with me!

lastly, congratulations to jane anderson (or scottish jane as she's known around here) who got engaged this week!!!
