So my beautiful, bountiful blog was born November 4th a year ago. Happy 1st Birthday! This weekend was quite an eventful one, Friday ’twas me and the hubby’s 5 year wedding anniversary and we celebrated it by buying a  14  42 inch plasma screen t.v. and going out and painting the town red. Got to Aruba, the usual crew were there, danced the night away, bumped into so many old faces and eventually while hearing the birds chirping knew it was time to head off home after stuffing our faces with deeelicious pizza straight from the 24 hour pizza oven.

Saturday had to attend my future sis-in-law’s bridal shower in Sunnyridge and boy was it a sunny day. My gorgeous sis-in-law was scantily clad in her cute playgirl bunny outfit. After enduring the tediousness of opening pressies and ahing and oohing then the real fun started. The Limo arrived round 8pm and 10 gorgeous ladies, me included of course, all exiguously dressed climbed in. Had champers and sang along to the old 80’s c.d that was left in the c.d. player.

On arriving at Billy The Bum’s to get Elegantly Wasted, I was already on my way. My sis-in-law looked like a real picture from Bridget Jones Diary, it was such a lag. Shooters after shooters were ordered all ready to knock our socks off. Sis-in-law got onto the bar counter and stayed there the rest of the evening, until she eventually hit expiry date round 1am.

Woke up Sunday afternoon with a slight hangover from hell and decided to stay the rest of the day in bed, when hubby dragged me out and about, bought more games for our xbox360, tears for fears c.d. and headed back home. Bliss.

The boys got my boet to go sky diving, which I’m sure was an awesome experience and knowing what an adrenaline junkie he is, I’m sure it wont be his last.

Stayed posted for ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding, that’s two weeks from now. Can’t wait.

Cool Facts About Vodka

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive. (also causes injuries, like cuts and scrapes to knees)

2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew (not to mention causes body to lean over bath and vomet, when not reaching toilet bowl in time)

3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills the germs. (also causes person to forget to take contact lenses out when retiring to bed, only to wake next morning with contact lense stuck to eyeball!)

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting. (causes those little cuts and knicks from not being able to shave properly due to the shakes the morning after)

5.Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry. (now this I can relate to)

6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores. (that is if have not already been done by accidently getting drink all over face)

7. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziplock freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes. (Now why didnt I think of that, for the ache in my knee)

8. To cure foot odour, wash your feet in vodka ( and smell like an alchy instead)

And Finally:

NEVER DRINK THE STUFF IT’LL KILL YOU!!

‘Twas the hubby’s birthday on the Friday, so I had decided to surprise him by buying two tickets to see the best Funky, Hip Hop Band in the world ‘Black Eyed Peas’.  Saturday arrived and we headed off to Sin City, just the two of us.

 A good hour and a half later we were standing by the doors amongst a few teenie boppers.  There were all sorts of people, all shapes and sizes.  Once we got inside the superbowl, you could feel the excitement stirring and brimming with people.  I had got us standing tickets, so we could completely be engrossed in the vibe and music.

I was styling, dressed in jeans, a white fake fur jacket and my white ‘fuck-me’ boots.  Now a concert is not a concert without a few condoms floating above your head.  I was slowly starting to lose my sense of humour after standing for over an hour, “why oh why did I wear these boots!”

Then it happened!  The show began, out came the Black Eyed Peas captivating, enthralling and holding us all spellbound.  Fergie has the most powerful voice and there was so much energy, great musicians.  Brilliant.

 We sang, screamed, cheered until I had no vocal chords left, gone, vanished without a trace.  I had lost all feelings in my legs, not that I had noticed.

 It was a fantastic show which we both thoroughly enjoyed and I did not have to drink myself into a coma.
