This is the second time I've done this post - freaking soulcast...
Anyway, as I recall last night I ate two mersindol and drank two glasses of wine, slept deadly for over 10 hours.... thankfully my migraine is gone and I am just left with that yuky feeling.
As I usually do, I am picking myself up, dusting myself off and getting on with it.... so here is a little light entertainment to prove you can't keep Lucy down.
Melbourne Cup this last week was a blast, a little gem in a pool of shit week for me.
On the way to work I was listening to the radio, a trainer was being interviewd about his horse, "we need a wet track to prove him" the horses name was 'shocking' - now the way my mind works is that I have had a fucking shocking year so that was my horse, wet track or no.
I changed at work, putting my war paint on, high heels (I know not good but a girl needs some pleasure) and my fascinator. As we run a bus company we had a free bus ride to town, the Rydges Sabaya to be exact, where the leukemia foundation were doing the luncheon.
Beuatifully set tables, loads of fabulous food which can be seen in one of the photos - my food baby I mean te he he
So we get settled as they start to auction off the horses running in the cup, I told my bosses if they wanted to keep my accounts skills they better buy "shocking" !!! so we began bidding and it was a war with a table behind us... until boss lady screams out $200 dollars!!! LOL
The room fell silent no one wanted to over bid us so we got shocking as our horse for the day! YAYAYAYAY
The race began, all were excited calling "come on horsies" te he he then a horse bolted to the finish line, a good head length ahead of the field and no one realised which damn horse it was until the screen changed and the words "shocking wins the Melbourne Cup" BWAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA we won!
We all enjoyed a few more drinks, while we counted our winnings! we all (table of 10) put in 20 bucks and got back 70 bucks! weeeeee
You can just see my fascinator.. its round pill box like, with pretty teul (spl) and little feathers poking out of it, worked perfectly with my dress.
So henceforth all the girls in the company are now known as "Charlies angels" because we all wanted shocking as our horse and won!
Here's Charlies angels... and a few ring ins.
Of course thats me on the left, my bosses mother, bosses other business worker - really ncie lady (blond), my boss (centre with the hat), another worker like the blond lady - different business (yeh boss lady runs two businesses at the same time. Charlie's wife, then one of my colleages - she's a cool chick, then boss ladys husband, centre holding the trophy is Charlie, and next tohim is boss ladys cousin who does our IT. Keep it all in the family te he he
I really loved the way the hall was decorated out, those big massive bunches of roses were dotted around the room and yes they were real! they were donated by one of the businesses in town.
All in all it was a really fabulous day, I ended up buying a thank you card for my boss as she paid for everything that day, she's one spunky lovely lady.
