I feel so spoiled!

I am going to write about it on here, because frankly the guys at work just don't want to hear me go on & on about cute clothing & shoes:)

My parents sent me a GORGEOUS maternity dress for my b-day, I tried it on last night & really want to think of a good excuse to wear it this weekend! It is dressy, but perhaps I can dress it down with some flat shoes..... :) It will be PERFECT for the wedding we are attending early next month - flattering & classy!

I also have 2 other cute new maternity shirts - one from Grandma Sis & one from my auntie Joni - thanks guys:)

Murray's gift to me was cash to shop with because he tried & tried to find me the one thing I wanted - a pair of rocket dog shoes - and it turned out they just aren't sold at all anymore in Australia:( The US sites didn't have the styles I liked, so I ended up ordering them from the UK. They are like slip on sneakers - comfy with good support but SUPER cute!! I ordered 2 pairs, and the shipping cost wasn't actually too bad. I saw on ups.com today that they arrived in the country yesterday (not bad considering I ordered on Tuesday!!) and were cleared by customs & sent out for delivery - YAYYYYY! I can't WAIT to see/wear them! I also spent the rest of my b-day shopping cash on 2 pairs of completely impractical but GORGEOUS heels. I know they won't do me much good once my feet start to swell, but I do hope that doesn't happen til AFTER our friends get married at the beginning of April - cause I already have a pair picked our for the Hens night & the wedding!!

Tomorrow morning I'm off to enjoy my b-day gift from my in-laws - a relaxing facial - I can NOT wait!!! I haven't had a facial since I got pregnant, as I tried to avoid anything like that til after the first trimester, and now that I'm well beyond that I am THRILLED to be going - whooo hoooo!

Busy busy day

My interviews went well today - except for one thing.

I prepared everything that I would need today last night - so I wouldn't have to get up super early and wouldn't feel rushed & stressed.

I washed and ironed my shirt, and got my trousers and belt laid out on the extra bed
Earrings and cufflinks ready to go
Job description, address, copy of my resume, map of city & ferry schedule in my handbag
Phone charged
And shoes packed in a nice little carry bag that separates them so they don't get scratched up (I have to wear flats into the city cause it is a good 20 minute walk, slightly uphill to where the interview was).

So I get ready, and just before we leave I have this terrible thought that maybe I packed 2 different black shoes in my little carry bag - surely not - but I checked one just in case - oh whew - I saw some patent leather so I knew I had the right ones

I get on the ferry, enjoy reading my book, make my way up to the building where I will interview, then find a bench outside where I can stop briefly to change into my dressy work shoes.

I open one side of the bag- and it's the WRONG SHOE! It is my nice every day black T bar shoe!!! I open the other side of the bag and it's the patent shoe!

I almost started to cry!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is THE most important interview since I have arrived in Australia!!!

Thank goodness I had nice black flats on though - I can't imagine what I would have done if I had had flip flops or tennis shoes (trainers) on!

SO - I interviewed in the flats - felt a bit weird - but it was fine.

The stress of interviewing - there's just nothing like it!
