I'm loving this at the moment...

• Woke up at 6.30am this morning - thanks to my alarm - but really did not want to get out of the lovely warm bed with the deliciously warm McBrad. So we snoozed for another 20 mins or so and then I thought 'I have to get out of bed or I'll be late for work'. So I sat up in bed, tucked the doona ('duvet' for the Kiwis/Poms reading this) around McBrad and tried to motivate myself to actually leave the bed. McBrad rolled over, opened his arms toward me, and I couldn't resist. I slid back beneath the covers and snuggled in his arms for another 10 mins. BLISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
• A couple of my formerly-retired bloggers have just started blogging again! Yay! Mike has new adventures to report with his new little puppy Munson, and the author of the most hilarious blog post I have ever read, Tequilla Mockingbird, has also resurrected his blog! Wahooooo!
• The weather at the moment is spectacular - gorgeous duck-egg blue skies, buckets of sunshine, the air so crisp and clear, a lovely 19 - 20 degrees (Celcius) during the day.
• Cake...well, cupcakes to be specific. There's a little cupcake shop just underneath Ivy on George St which makes the BEST cupcakes. We've been popping down and putting a dozen on the corporate card and having them for morning tea at work. YUMMMMO!

Sleep deprived...

I'm a little peeved at the moment.

Last night, had a great night - dinner at my friends James and Jacqui's place...delicious porterhouse steak and salad. The steak was magnificent...truly delightful - James cooked it to perfection. And I brought one of my 3 remaining bottles of Bin 2000 '02 Shiraz which is just really starting to taste sensational - worked perfectly with the steak. We then proceeded to consume another 3 bottles (yes, 4 bottles between 3 of us humans) of sundry reds over the course of the night. Staggered home (thankfully, they live around the corner) and hit the sack around 2am. (stick with this, I am getting to the point)

Woke up this morning, remarkably not suffering any ill effects. I was just deadly tired. And so I have dragged myself to work, my mind not fully functioning, desperate just to sleep!

And what have I encountered? Firstly, my boss didn't turn up until 10.30am, so I could've had at least an extra hour of sleep without any consequences. Secondly, our main client management system hasn't been working for the past 90 minutes and so, I have been here at work, tired out of my brain, AND ACCOMPLISHING BUGGER ALL!!! If I was actually able to work, at least the dragging of my poor tired body out of bed and into work would feel worthwhile!

Tonight, I'm going to go home, make some dinner, and watch a DVD. AND go to bed EARLY! Blissssssss!
