The best weekend in a long time!

I had a great weekend! The Sunshine Coast was lucky enough to get to
highs of 30 for both days, and I really understand how your mood is
affected by the weather!

We had the boring couply kind of weekend. We had to give the cat a
bath as she sat under a car that was leaking oil. So her fur was slick
and matted. After that we decided to teach Max to swim. He was not
happy with being in the water, but he is a champion swimmer for how
small he is!

We were going to go fishing, so in the spirit of hot weather I decided
to dig out some shorts. I tried on every pair that I owned (not many)
and I couldn't get them up past my thighs. This was so depressing
because I have worn these just over 6 months ago. I guess it made me
step back and actually look at the lifestyle I had.

I ended up in tears, and Peter was such a sweetie tyring to make it
better. But when you are in that kind of mood, I guess you don't
really want to be told that its ok, and that it doesn't matter.

We had a house viewing in Strathpine (half an hour closer to town than
we currently are) and decided to go to the mall there afterwards.

Side note: The house was crap. I guess this is the problem with living
in a brand new house that has everything we could want. The house we
say didn't have fences, you could see into the neighbours yards. There
were no ceiling fans, no air con and no dishwasher! The house looked
pretty scungy, so we aren't going to apply for it. But… we are still
looking for a rental. What a job!

At the mall we found a few summer tops for Peter and a found the
prettiest dress for me. I don't really have money to spend on extras
like that, so Peter brought it to make me happy again. He was so sweet
about it, and I feel so great wearing it. I also brought some ¾ pants
which.. are huge. They are a size bigger than what I would usually
wear, but I only have 1 pair of non work pants (jeans) so I needed to
get something summery that fitted me.

The rest of the weekend was spent visiting friends, watching movies,
and training the puppy. We brought some treats, and it is surprising
what he will do for them. He can sit (mostly, and only when you have a
treat) and soon we will start training him some other commands.

The weekend was great, so being back at work is a bit sad. The day is
perfect once again, and I want to be out there enjoying it!
