Today has been a great day

And it's not even over!
I'm not quite sure why today has been great, but I think it helped that we had sunshine, that I've just had a nice week at choir, I have lots of exciting things to look forward to, and work is great at the moment. Really great. I am getting to research new stuff and do prototyping and make design decisions and talk to the clients and elicit requirements..... I looked at working with word docs from a C# program today, and also web services, and other sorts of exciting stuff.

Went out for dinner with Karthik last night which was nice. Had a nice birthday, got some really nice presents - clothes from mum and dad, coffee and nice earrings from Kate, a belt change purse and chocolates from Jenna, millions of texts and a phone call from Pete, a book and chocolate from Megan, and a recipe book for sweet food from Mike and Ellen, and two cool hair-ties with little tiny rag-dolls on the end from a guy at work - another made me a cake :) with pink icing!

I have so many cool things happening! I am going to Charlie and Choc Factory with work next Monday, I have a weekend to look forward to, am seeing the Wholly Grain on Friday night at the Herald Theatre - I think everyone in Auckland should go see it, Steph highly recommends it. And theatre is important, and it's only $25. And it's grad training on thurs and fri so that's dinner out and a nice visit to glenbrook steel and a couple of sleep-ins so I'm looking forward to it. Matt arrives Wed night. When I also have Hindi. And it looks like Dad might make it to oz after all! Fingers crossed... he's in Hamner tonight with Mum, they're going to Mt Cook later for a little trip too.

And I paid my credit card bill. And installed StrongDC v. 10 on my big computer.

Hope you guys are all having as an exciting September.
