So, Saturday, umm, Miss 16 school prom night.
Quick, run here buy that, then over there to buy this, race to hair stylist, race to makeup, attend pre-ball gathering, pick up at midnight, take to after prom party. So Saturday finished at about 3am Sunday.
I awaken 4 hours later, check photos of prom and found my new camera wasn't focusing and only 1 shot in 20 was acceptable, so back to the shop at 9am.
10 am dismantle new sports camera and try to located a new battery for it - my only hours dressed pretty in pink top black bra and black sports leggings, made brunch for the late sleepers while still in girl mode.
Miss 20 is having her 21st in a few weeks, so it's back in to men's clothing, and out to buy brazier and patio heaters and check out marquees. Also completed the clothes washing for the week.
Anyway, while out doing my 3rd to last chore while wife was making a late dinner, got home to find she was out driving daughters friends home instead of making dinner for 4 hungry people. So where I was expecting a dinner when I got home, instead I got to wait. Had wife gone to do the heavy lifting chore, I would have told daughters friend to get her parents for once in the last 24 months to actually pick up their daughter, and dinner would have been on schedule.
Anyway, I took my frustrations out on my wonderful, but lazy arsed kids.
I really need some serious girl time !!!

Busy weeks, now overcompensating
Work has been hectic, yet luckily the extra hours I've put in to get the End of Month orders finished have been mostly from home where I can wear what I want. Yet I've been missing the public outings.
I've also been helping my wife with renovations as well as the normal duties with the kids.
It's just a few minutes past dawn, and in a few hours Miss 16 is on a school bus to the Tongariro National Park to do "The Crossing" a 20km hike in snowy conditions over a volcano. I have not, in the recent teen years, known her to walk more than 600 meters to school, so 20km will be something different for her. I always thought I would do the crossing years before her and even now wish I could go with her to look after her, plus I was trained to survive in such areas, but she reckons her "hot" maths teacher will look after her, I'm under the impression lots of girls will be fighting for a position directly behind him so they can watch his bum during the hike.
As East Auckland is a pain on busy days, I stopped at one of my local McDonalds, but found at 6.30am instead of the usual elderly, a whole lot of young males with high performance cars, and a couple of others who look like they had just come of the farm. Farm girl was bigger and scarier than farm boy - know who wares the pants in that family, anyway decided to do the extra miles to my regular McDonalds. The coffee girl was already making my order up as I made the trip from the ladies room to the counter. Anyway I digress, being in man land a bit long, this morning finds me in a shear see through top, shiny micro mini, leggings and over the knee slut boots for coffee and a trip to supermarket. While coffee was fine, walking around the supermarket in these boots is not advisable, very surprised I didn't faceplant and these boots will be in the bin before weeks end to ensure I'm not this silly again.
Miss 16 took my camera on the hike, so here I am trying to figure out how to drive the spare camera.

So I finally got a sports camera
and no, it's not a $599 Go Pro, with an additional $200 touch screen back.
It's actually a $150 Evo 1080 HD with a touch screen back, with IR remote, which also does photos and car mode.
So this morning I go out early, for my usual McDonalds Coffee, then muck around a bit until it's time to pick up and a 1 meter extension handle so I can do "selfies".
It's also ANZAC day when we pay tribute to all out war dead. It was good to see the crowds out to remember the sacrifices of our fallen, and those that served our country in combat.
Again for my second outing with daughters Avon make up - which is to light, but I still had fun, just wish I could photo shop the movie to make me look younger and prettier, like the girl I sat next to for my cup of tea, who had a shear blue shirt showing her pretty black bra and belly ring (between you and me, I really liked the way her black bra curved down her breasts and stopped a tanned & toned mid rift - not that I was paying much attention while trying to read the news paper)
Appologies for the video compression, not sure what the blog site did to the file.

Post birthday brunch
It's been a long couple of weeks and my lovely wife got me the red winter coat I've always wanted from Glassons and while it looked nice on me in male mode, it didn't sit so well once I had some lady lumps plus it was far to hot for New Zealand Autumn weather. I returned it and have now allocated the funds to the second item on my wish list - a 1080HD sports action camera (yet to purchase).
Last week I did manage to buy a nice pair of $10 leggings (black and white Aztec pattern) and have been wearing them at home most evenings.
Good Friday started as a hot day, so I put on my favourite summer dress and did the house work. I also tried bouncing Miss 14 out of bed at 10.30am as the washing machine kind of woke her and I felt like annoying her (just because it was my turn to annoy her at last). Being a teen, she grumbled and fell back to sleep.
Saturday morning, and with Miss 16's supply of Avon make up, I actually used Primer, Foundation and a Powder. It took about 30 minutes to get ready as opposed to my usual 10 minutes and then I was ready for McDonalds coffee.
At 9am I meet up with Josie for a lovely breakfast at Syliva Park Shopping Centre, but before it arrived from the kitchen, a large gathering had started near us. I mentioned to Josie we should perhaps move up a table to allow the group more room, some of the group noticed and thanked us and after a brief conversation were singing "Happy Birthday" to me - I would have turned a few shades red had it not been for all the make up on :)
After breakfast we did a little clothes shopping where we both tried on a few outfits. The mall is quite long as are Josie's strides, so I felt like I had jogged a mile by the time we got back to our cars. I was having so much fun and had hardly noticed how busy the mall had gotten during our shop, so hopefully we got away before either of us were recognised.

Quick coffee
A couple of weeks in man time, and it's driving me mad.
Plus I've had a cold that long and while I've been meaning to have a day off work to help recoup, work has just been to busy. Today was also busy but with only 4 hours sleep, lots of driving followed by nose dripping on clients was low on my to do list, so instead, today turned in to a sleepy day with an hour out to get a coffee (and quick trip to groccery store). The school kids, had a 1/2 day today, I found out when one of the boyfriends arrived just after getting my make up off.
The weather has been fab these last 2 weeks, with Sunday, on combat fields, full camo, shooting the heck out of anybody in range of my airsoft gun, being like in desert heat. Bloody insane fun and brought back memories of my military days

Wednesday and still full of cold.
I was hoping to go to the mall to buy a red coat for my birthday, but seeing all the young males loitering around the mall entrance, I decided to just go to the grocery shop and have a relaxing coffee before heading home for another sleep.
