11 RANDOM FACTS

01. Mayonaise makes me want to gag.

02. I’m super uncoordinated using a mouse after using a pen tablet for years for over 8 hours a day.

03. I will always judge a product or company by their branding and/or website.

04. I have to have my savings account on an even $50-$100 amount. When I get interest in it I have to transfer money over or out of it to make it even again.

05. I have the worst memory ever. Just ask Hook.

06. I love watching horror movies but I get so scared that I can’t even bare to keep my eyes open.

07. If Hook is at home I can fall asleep within minutes, but if he’s away it takes me HOURS to get to sleep. He probably thinks that he bores me to sleep, but I think it’s that he calms me so much I get snoozy.

08 I like semi burnt food. Toast, pizza, taco shells. Yum.

09. I have never broken a bone. Minus my brother’s arm when I fell backwards and elbowed into his arm and it broke.

10. I have a note pad/book problem. I currently have 9 different note pads/books of a range of sizes and styles on my desk. I find it really hard to find which one I’ve written particular things in.

11. I prefer fish/reptiles over furry animals.

11 QUESTIONS VANESSA ASKED ME

01. If you could be any animal what would you be and why?
A bird. I’d love to be able to fly. Fly away when I want a break, and just soar through the sky. Man that sounded cheesy. Haha.
02. What was the last book you read?
It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be – Paul Arden {buy here}
03. What’s your favorite vacation spot?
I don’t really have one to be honest. I don’t travel that much. I think any vacation is a good one, no matter where it is. It all depends on the company you’re with.
04. Have you farted in front of your significant other? What was their reaction?
Yep. Haha. He either didn’t notice, didn’t care or just decided not to say anything. :’D
05. What’s your worst road rage experience?
Don’t think I’ve ever had one that was way worse than any other. But I get pretty bad road rage, particularly in the city I live in. It’s one of the only things I HATE about Auckland.
06. Girl crush?
Jill Flint (in Royal Pains) and Katharine McPhee (in Smash).
07. What’s one fashion trend you hope wont ever make a comeback?
Leggings as pants.
08. Most embarrassing moment?
I’ve either blocked out any really embarrassing moments or I just haven’t really had any. I can’t think of a single one off the top of my head.
09. One food you could eat every day for the rest of your life?
Pizza. It’s seriously the one thing I ALWAYS could eat, no matter what.
10. Cake or pie?
Pie. Lemon meringue pie to be exact. My favourite dessert.
11. Least favorite household chore?
Cleaning the toilet. Yet I seem to be the only person in this household that does it. Grr.

That’s a little bit of useless information for you all about me. Ha!

Time flies.

So without really realising it, I kind of went on a bit of a hiatus from my blog. It’s funny how life can just creep up on you like that. It’s been a bit of a crazy month for me and it really put me off track. I don’t even know where to begin. I actually have to look back at my iCal to see what I even did with my time!

A summary of my past four weeks:

• I turned 26 years old. Woah.
• Hook and I shot our first engagement shoot and wedding as A Couple Of Night Owls.
• I went to my 3rd (I think?) taco night. Awesome. Cheers Bayly & Moore!
• We celebrated Hook’s birthday.
• Bought ourselves a combined birthday present – a Canon 85mm F1.2 L lens.
• Upped my ram from 8gig to 16gig. Yayah.

 



 

• I finished up one of the biggest projects I get to be part of at work – designing the annual report.
• Lots of photo editing and planning.
• Bought some polaroid film which turned out to be duds. Such a shame!
• Put up with the crazy weather. We haven’t had much of a summer at all and as soon as it hit March 1st, the first day of Autumn, it got even worse. Every time the sun came out I tried to make the most of it by going for a walk.
• I tried Carl’s Jr for the first time. Chilli cheese fries are so yum!

 



 

• My best friend Brit came to stay with us for 6 fun-filled days. Bonus that I took work off for it!
• A trip to Kelly Tarltons to see the penguins, sharks, stingrays, octopus, fish, seahorses and fish.
• Got addicted to caramel frappucinos from Starbucks. Pity they suck at getting my name right on the order.

 



 

• Enjoyed some yummy macarons.
• Finally wore one of my Tattlys!
• I went to Taylor Swift’s concert and it was AMAZING. Blown away. Hook took photos of the show for Coup de Main. You can check those out here!

 



 

• Had a quick catch up brunch with my friend Pacey whom I haven’t seen since February 2011 due to us living in different countries. Booooo.
• A lot of day dreaming. Mostly about winning lotto. I was extremely disappointed tonight to find out that I did not win that $22 million. No fair. Hahaha.
• Oh, and last, but DEFINITELY not least, I’m going to have a brand new baby brother or sister arriving around October! My dad and step-mum found out the fantastic news that they have a little on on the way and we all couldn’t be more happy!

Starting up A Couple Of Night Owls has been so much fun! But boy is it time consuming! Haha. No one said this would be easy, but I’ve definitely enjoyed every minute of it so far. I have no idea why Hook and I didn’t team up earlier! We’ve got some really exciting projects coming up and I can’t wait to share them all with you!

To all of my amazing followers, thank you for putting up with my silence!
I will definitely try to be less scarce on here!
