Thank Frock It's Friday! ♥
in I Want... What The Frock?!1 Jun 2012 | 13 Comments
If you're clicking here for the first time, WELCOME! Every Friday we celebrate the fact that - ding, ding! - it's Friday, and our favourite things (tickets to a phenomenal concert? Stained carpets?! Okay, it's probably not the latter...) from the week that was. Here's what I'm currently loving!
x Joining The Instagram Fun - I KNOW! Ten years - slight exaggeration - behind all the cool kids, huh?! Touted as a ''fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures'' (thanks, Instagram!), I'm addicted to this glorious application which transforms ''mediocre-looking mobile phone photos into professional-looking snapshots''. Are you on Instagram? (Psst! My username is 'Tom Cruise' if you'd like to join the visual mayhem. HA! Just kidding! It's 'frockandroll'.)
(Because clearly I ponder the big questions in life!) Contemplating which nail polish colour to use on Monday morning. Decisions, DECISIONS!
Who likes sparkles?! I like sparkles!
x Receiving My British Passport - YES! Yeeeeees! Guess who's now officially a British citizen?! (Oh... my... GOODNESS!)
x Other Little Things - Incredible news (one of my oldest, bestest friends, Chris, is now employed. Ah! If you've read this piece, you'll understanding how wonderful this is. So, so happy for him!); sifting through old photos and realising how painfully moronic I am (what is this?!); Strapping Young Lad; headbands, headbands, HEADBANDS; cackling at Karl Pilkington's impressions of China (''I didn't think China was gonna be like this. I thought it was gonna be more... like I said, I thought it was where they made the iPod. I think I've got the wrong place though, because this ain't a place where they need an iPod. GET TOILET ROLLS FIRST!''); typically-frank nuggets of wisdom from my father (''it's amazing what one sees when one's head isn't stuck up their own a'hole.'' Y-e-p. I warned you that it was frank!); unexpected and hilarious e-mails (thank-you, magnificent Sarah!); c-c-cute date ideas (''option 1: Let's cook something together. Option 2: We'll go to the movies. Option 3: Let's go SOMEWHERE!''); massages (!); ecstatic embraces; and finally, Florence & The Machine's hauntingly exquisite Seven Devils:
(And oh my, wasn't its placement in Revenge's season finale PERFECT?)
Suggestion For The Weekend Ahead
x Stumped for plans for a fabulous Friday night out? Why not... ''restaurant hop''?! Grab someone wonderful, take a stroll and pop in to three different restaurants and enjoy a meal at each one. (Could you have a Brazillian entrée? A Mexican main course? A Bolivian dessert?! Oh, the possibilities!)
♥
Happy, happy Friday to you, and happy JUNE! (That's right... it's here already!) How was your week? What are your plans for the weekend?

I am addicted to Instagram as well. Which you may have noticed, after my drunken live-Instagramming of my farewell party from Brisbane, haha.
I'm totally excited for you getting your passport & citizenship, and your friend Chris finding a job!

Yep, my parents are wanting to downsize. We currently live in a big tri-level house & it's just too much. They are looking to move out to the base area of the Blue Mountains, around Winmalee area, it's so gorgeous!
And yep! I turn 26 on Thursday! Eep!

Julie - THANK-YOU, JULIE! :D I'm so excited!
Sending many, *many* ''good luck'' vibes your way regarding your interview, and wow, nice work on the cheesecake! (And client meetings!) I'm not a fan of it either, but maybe you could convert me! :D
Have a super-duper weekend!
Natalie - That I WILL! (Haha, I'm ALWAYS hungry!)
Natalie - YOU WILL! And your plans sound delightful. Have a terrific time with your brother, niece and nephew, and best of luck with the house hunting! (I had no idea that you were moving... or that you're *26* next week! Whaaat!)
Alex - Thanks heaps, Axe-y! :) Oh, and HEY! I need an update from you re: the almighty interview, missy!
J. - A dance recital? Awesome! I hope it went splendidly for you, and that work's a breeze! (Or at the very least, goes quickly for you!)

Sounds like a good week! I just have to make it through tonight's dance recital and then the stress is over! Of course, I do have the other job to work for the rest of the weekend...
