Forster- Chrissy Holiday

Okay, moving right along to the beach holiday on Forster (pronounced Foster). We left on Boxing Day (after another kick ass feast) and drove four hours north to the coast. It was lovely. Pictures are on facebook of the beautiful blue water and the pretty scenic views. Now my favorite memory here is the time when Piper told us stories. She told us about a "gallant prince" and a "dragon cave" and a "princess named Piper." So freaking cute. By the time I had the camera rolling she was a little out of the mode, but she was going a bit. When she's cute she's got you wrapped around her finger. Geez. We stayed at Craig's mom's mum's house which had a POOL! I had a day to myself while the fam went to visit other family and the sun came out and I had one of the happiest times ever! Read HP Goblet of Fire and had my pineapple vodka and spiced rum (separately) and laid by the pool listening to my brand new "poolside, bitches" playlist. If I had to have a memory for my Patronus it would probably be this. Here is my video to everyone:

Yeah. I was so happy. Like my hat? Later we went to the beach and I got to play in the biggest waves I have ever seen in real life. Not quite Blue Crush size, but still pretty large. They were a bit intimidating but I took 'em on and won victorious. Watching the girls play was really fun. No matter the cold water they jumped in a loved it. I can't get enough of watching them jump in without fear. They are all little water babies. Check out the photos on facey. It's great stuff!

I'll post about NYE next!

On Sunday my friend, Cecile, asked me if I wanted to go to Bondi Beach with her. I had plans to go to church that day and I didn't feel like taking an hour long bus ride to the beach, either, so I declined. A few hours later she texted me and asked if Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire were still in Sydney because she was sitting next to two Americans that looked like them. I told her they sure were here and that she better go get some phone numbers for us. Naturally, she didn't believe me and was too shy to go talk to random strangers. She was taking pictures of these guys to send to me and some bulky guy went up to her and asked her to step away and stop taking pictures. 

Yeah. Once the bodyguard struck, we knew who it was fo sho. So of course I am mad at myself for being too lazy to go to the beach and go get my bathing suit on in hopes of meeting some celebs. While getting ready I saw the Clemson-USC game was on, so naturally I had to watch a few (a very few) minutes of that and drink some vodka. I figured a little liquid courage wouldn't hurt things with Hollywood A-listers and I had to honor my Tigers. So after seeing how dismal the footy was, I went ahead to the beach, with backup meeting me there. An hour later (3:30) I arrive and Cecile tells me that they freaking left at 2.  Seriously, Leo? And you, Spider-man?! How could you? I make the damn effort to leave the house and pick out the PERFECT bikini AND I've been working out and you LEAVE? COME ON. If either of you wants to marry this girl, you have GOT to be more considerate. I reminded Karen that I am still waiting on that BBQ with Leo and I intend on reminding Josh and Pippy (the mutual friends of mine and Leo's) that this has to happen. Or at the very least a poker night. Where I take enough money to not work for the rest of my life and perhaps woo someone nearly 15 years older than I am. It worked for Blake Lively. 

I can be Lively too. Anyway...

Thanksgiving was boring. I didn't cook because I am mentally insane but I DID go to a great little pub and have beef pie. YUM. With gravy. And smashed peas. Delish. 

For "Chrissy" I am tagging along with the fam to go to Forster's Beach. 
 
Yeah. That's real nice. They offered me time off but I thought, you have GOT to be kidding. You cannot get rid of me when you invite me to a place like that. 


That's all for now. I took some video of Piper so you can hear her voice, but I am not sure how it turned out. If it's good, I'll post it shortly! Love to you all.

And remember: I'm willing to accept dares if you think you can come up with any fun ones!
