Bon Jovi!!!

Meeting old friends again and making new ones, i had it all this weekend, and it was great. Vicki and I had planned this weekend for months and we were both looking forward to it so much. Saturday morning came and i was working, yep up at 3.15am off to work, i managed to finish 2 hours early tho, so once 10.30am came, i was off... Literally too, i was buzzing!! On such a high. Michelle, Toby and Vicki picked me up at 1pm, and we were off, look out Christchurch! The first 15 stubbies seemed to dissappear very quickly, i think someone must have been hiding them somewhere cause it was only me and Vicki drinking them. I think we must have stopped 4 times on the way up for a toilet break, change of driver and to refill the pub. By the time we hit Christchurch Vicki and I were, lets say, "well advanced in the art of getting pretty messy". Storm the little darling she kindly opened her home up for us to stay. So we had a place to stay, to much beer, what next to do but head into town... what i didnt know is that the others had no intention of going out that night, bumma... i had arranged to meet up with some friends, so i was dropped off (with Storm's address in my pocket), and gate crashed Kat's dinner plans at a Thai restaurant. Man it was so good to see her again. We babbled on for ages, then headed to a bar down the Lane. Gina and I txted and they said they were on there way so i took off to meet up with them and bring them to the Lane. I rang her, she said she was opposite some street?, and what do you know? i was too!!! So as soon as we realised we were on the opposite sides of the road the traffic split and we did this big run to each other, so funny. They looked fantastic. It was the best thing seeing them again. Anyway... i got home at 1.30am. And the next day... i was not well at all. Storm took me and Vicki for some breakie, found that they had the busker's week on so sat and watched that for an hour, it was great, so funny. Off home for a sleep before the concert.
I meet up with Gina and Spike again before the concert, then we said our good byes and parted our ways. Bit sad for awhile but it didnt take long before this man filled the gap, sorry Gina and Spike, hee hee hee...

But i couldnt help it, i had the most fantastic night, just me and Jon Bon Jovi and 40,000 other people. ha ha ha... Sang, danced, laughed and managed not to cry once. Wasnt close enough to throw my bra on stage but im sure he knew i was there anyway!!! And how could i not mention Richie Sambora, bloody amazing!!! He rocks something wicked!!!



Bon Jovi, 27th January, 2008. I was there!!!

Xmas 2007 at home!

Dad turned 60 this year, i flew up as a surprise trip on his birthday. And yes they were surprised. A couple of days before he had had an open day for all the family, it went off great! But i missed it, stuffed up the dates for the flights, ha ha ha never mind, i had a wonderful 3 days with Mum and Dad all to myself. Life is very good to me! We celebrated both Dad's 60th and Mike's 30th on boxing day, smiles all round. Back home in Dunedin Mike and I met a few friends at the Kensington Tui Clubrooms for drinks and a meal to celebrate his birthday. It was a good night.

Its been 3 years since i have been at home with my family for xmas, and i was so excited about!!! Bevvie was lovely enough (as usual) to take us to the airport and then whoossshhhh!!! We were flying. I wore my Durndl home for xmas. I go stopped at the airport by a lady who wanted to have a look at it. She thought it was lovely. It made me giggle. hee hee.

Well when we landed nobody was there to meet us, so we waited... Mike turns and says to me, "ha ha ha look at this car coming!". Oh my god... "yep thats them i said"

Dad had a black long haired shaggy wig on, Tania was dressed as the queen, Sarah as a rasta and young Courtney as a punk rocker. They looked so funny, and they got a few weird looks as well, funny as i reckon. We had alot of the extended family there, aunts, uncles etc... Had some drinkies and too much food, it was great. For me it was very relaxing just being there, lazing around. Boxing day arrived and so did the next round of people. Blair, Kim, Darryl, Janelle and her friend, Nic and the kiddies, Taz and of course not to forget Pete. Tracey made it the next day. So we had even more drinks, got pretty messy, well kimmy did, ha ha ha ha... jumped in the spa, life is just so cruisy sometimes. No one got much of a sleep in the next day thanks to the chicken i got for xmas... Tania and I made pretzels for everyone then after breakie it was a beautiful day so what else were the girls suppose to do... yep i went and got Muriel out. Kimmy and Janelle fell in love with her, who wouldnt!!

We had the best day in her, i took the cuzzies for a ride in her, and kimmy drove home again. Then when everyone had gone home later that day, Mike, Collette, Tracey and I drove her into town, it was a beautiful day, we had ice cream and a great day. It was the best!!!Mike and I spent the next few days at Morrinsville, we did a day trip up to Cook's Beach and saw Sammy and Donna with their 2 little girls and it was a great surprise to see George there as well. We also had a great day at golf, it was very relaxing before we flew home.

Back at work now and looking forward to Bon Jovi concert, Yee Haa!!!! Bring it on!!!
