We Close Our Eyes

Another three weeks has passed since my last blog but I guess that's better than 2 months or something like that.
I forgot to say in my last one that I managed to get Michael Jackson tickets in the presale for the second week of the series of shows he's doing at the O2 in London. I'm looking forward to it and it's going to be my first concert of the year by the looks of things. I love London too so I can't wait to go to London for at least three days (I don't know how long I'm going for yet!). So it should be a really good time.

I've mainly been organizing my dads 70th birthday party, which was Friday 3rd April, and the last week of that was mad and manic for me especially in the last two days. I basically didn't stop from 6am on the Thursday morning right up until 7:30pm on the night of the party. I obviously slept between Thursday and Friday but not for long. It was a nightmare and I was on duty a lot at the party especially at the end of the night but I didn't drink much and I didn't want to anyway. I did have a little help from Lou, Madeline (who let me us her kitchen) and Lyndsey (who helped me put up banners n pictures at the venue) ... oh and Pete who printed the pics, blew up a few balloons and then did some stuff before the party.

I had an amazing time at the party. I even shocked myself with all that I got up to because I don't normally socialize because of my lack of confidence, I tend to keep myself to myself but I knew everyone there and it helped me so much. I had such a wonderful time and was up most of the night dancing with people from the running club (mainly Sue, Linda & Lesley). I even got up on my own and kept going back and dancing on my own which I'd never of done as little as a month ago so it just goes to show how much my confidence has grown over the last month.
I did a quiz about my dad too which seemed to get the whole thing going because before I did the quiz no one was interacting as much and were all stood around but as soon as I got everyone sat down for the quiz things started to happen. Shockingly my mum won the quiz and I didn't think she would, she only won by 2 points but I didn't think she'd know the answers to a lot of them but I think she did guess on some of them!
There was too much food and a lot of it got binned at the end of the night but it was much better than there being too much. I didn't find them at all helpful at the venue either and all I heard was them moaning and they let members in who dived into the buffet as soon as it was open and even took part in the quiz (the cheeky so n so's). So I won't be using that venue again because I have a list of complaints about the place and their attitudes!
But a good night was had by all and everyone kept coming up to me and telling me I'd done a great job, I got a lot of kisses and hugs that night...almost as many as my dad and it wasn't even my birthday so I did well.
My dad got a shed loads of cards and it's not even his birthday until Friday either! He got some nice presents too and there are more to come because I've got him about another 5 presents yet but I did give him one on the night which was a designer watch!

Not been up to too much else other than starting passplus and getting the house sorted and doing some work. I've been getting out a bit more too now I can drive alone but getting the car can be a total nightmare to be honest and I can't wait to get my own but it's probably going to be around August time when that happens but it's April now so I guess it's not that far off. I won't be getting one on credit so I have to save the cash for it. But it will be nice knowing I bought it rather than it being bought for me by my dad because I will appreciate it heaps more knowing I worked hard to buy it.

Anyway this is it for now!
