Sensible heart

I’ve been lurking in the murky depths of my itunes recently… loading my ipod up with lots of music from my teens and songs which I had almost forgotten about. Listening to bands like City and Colour, The Twilight Sad, Underoath, Spitalfield, Taking Back Sunday, Reliant K, Hell Is For Heroes, The Postal Service and Funeral For A Friend (to name MORE than a few) makes my heart want to burst. In a good way. The best way, if that even makes sense? Lots of nostalgia and making me feel safe. My Hello Kitty headphones beat my old Skull Candy ones hands down. Makes it far too easy to sink away into my own little world on the journey to work 🙂 A bit belated, but here’s what I did with my weekend:

Friday night I had a little date night with David and we went to Sapporo Teppanyaki for the first time. Been eyeing up this restaurant for a while, but was dubious because the menu was kinda pricey in terms of our normal Japanese/Chinese haunts. Now we know why! Your dinner cooked right infront of you (I never knew what Teppanyaki meant, doh) along with a little show from the chef with all sorts being thrown about. Including little fried potato slices into your mouth from across the table! I’m a total dweeb and shut my eyes the first time and it hit me on the cheek. Fail on my part… but what great showmanship. Japanese food is my absolute fave, and we def got what we paid for, it was top notch. David got Beef Yakisoba and I got Salmon Teriyaki, with some Ebi Nigiri on the side while we were watching our chef juggle 3 eggs with a thin knife… Jeez! Safe to say we will be saving the pennies to make this place a monthly visit 🙂

When we got home on friday night I got my bag ready for my weekend away (sorted what to wear with the peter pan dress thanks to Victoria’s advice 🙂 cheers doll!) and did a tan with my new Vita Liberata stuff. Says on the bottle that 99% of customers say this fake tan is odourless. LIES! It stunk to high heavens of that typical smell. But, beauty needs must eh 🙁 Then on saturday morning, when I was resembling Mowgli from the Jungle Book, I went to turn the shower on and no water… Lets just say a major freak out followed, couldn’t have been a worse bloody morning for a burst pipe somewhere in Lenzie. David was worried that if I kept the tan on any longer I’d stay that way! Haha, what an awful sight I would have been. So he ran me over to my dad and julies house and I got showered and dressed there. Disaster avoided, and luckily the water was back on later that day.

Getting ready to head out in Edinburgh 🙂

Tiger lilys & Lulu’s
(Had the best Cherry and Amaretto Sours cocktail I’ve ever tasted, shame it was £8, not cool!)

Rickshaw ride home, my step mammy had sore feet from dancing in her heels all day!

Sunday morning, feeling surprisingly fresh! M&S goodies for breakfast/the train ride home. It’s okay to have mini yum yums, fruit jelly and sushi for breakfast… right?

So at midday on saturday I was on the train to Edinburgh with my overnight bag for my step mum Julie’s hen night. There was about 8 of us staying at the hotel, and another 20 odd ladies joined us during the day for drinks and food. This was my first hen night, and it wasn’t all cowboy hats and sashes… it actually just felt like a normal (but MASSIVE) girly night out 🙂 We got changed and had champers in the hotel and headed out for 3, and were in bed for 1am. So a long day, but I didn’t feel that drunk to be honest (I aint much of a drinker these days anyways) I actually felt really fresh and upbeat on sunday morning after a great sleep in the hotel. I always sleep really well in hotels for some reason. Wanted to go to Hannah Zakari but found out they are closed on a sunday, so I’ll need to take another trip through to edinburgh one weekend soon.

When I got home, me and David got lunch from Peckhams and went for a walk. My dad and julies wedding is next month, just a small wedding and dinner for the family at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow, then later in the evening we’re heading back to The Eagle Lodge in Bishopbriggs for the wedding reception. Still haven’t got myself an outfit (or David’s suit) I have no idea what kind of thing to wear so I’m comfy/classy/suited to the actual wedding and dinner and then party at night. If you have been to a wedding recently and have any suggestions then please fling them my way lovelies! I’m going to try get my hair all cut and coloured the week before and maybe my makeup done at Mac the morning of the wedding. Although I know little Max is totally going to steal the show with his outfit. He has the cutest little cream waistcoat and trouser combo with a tiny grandad shirt from monsoon. A boy after my own heart, I’m telling you! 🙂

I found out earlier that today is my last day at work until next monday (happy dance) but I’ve got a few things going on to keep me busy. Going to the gym, cupcake class, wedding outfit shopping, seeing friends, catching up on google reader and maybe tinkering with my layout is defo on the cards! Have a great week whatever you’re upto ♥
