So there we are...A fantastic new word found on www.stephenfry.com:

Arsegarbage.

Learn it, love it, use it.

Went shopping today with my mum. We were supposed to be getting stuff for my brother's party - which we totally did, eventually - and somehow we wound up at DFO (that's Direct Factory Outlet, for those who aren't in the know), and I bought what I've been lusting after for eons at a very reasonable price...A Polo Ralph Lauren long-sleeved rugby jersey. In blue and red stripes. At $99. How good are outlets?! I also bought a bunch of new underwear, because you can never have too much, and I bought something else....A dark blue knit sweater, but an in-between seasons one. Very light. Anyways, I spent less that $200 and that's always kind of nice.

We really went to DFO so I could buy a new doona and doona cover. Which I did not buy. 

So, we're prepping and boy-proofing for the lad's party and I'm a little worried. The bonus is there'll be a lot of superpolite Maori boys with guitars and lovely voices. Live music is always a bonus :)

Oop, a Canadian showed up. More people to arrive :P
