rain is my friend

It's raining again today. which is good- it means that I won't be able to find any excuses to get out of the house, and instead spend the day getting ready for our visitors K and D who arrive sunday night. They got a cheap flight on Jetstar, but have had their flight over here changed 3 times on them already... and no longer have a direct flight, but have to stopover in Cairns for 3 or 4 hours...hmmmm. makes me wonder if it is worth trying to travel with Jetstar even though they are dirt cheap.

Anyway, I have been slowly getting ready anyway- you know, getting all the washing/ironing out of the way, decluttering the living areas, and of course taste-testing the kahlua to make sure it is ok for them (I am still not sure on the last point, so will probably have to do another taste-test tonight - or even around 3pm this afternoon if I do my head in trying to clean K's pigsty tee-hee)

Just having a cuppa to start my engine then it will be all go for me today (positive reinforcement - I am hoping if I keep saying things like this, I might actually get something done!!) Tomorrow is a bbq at a friend's place (on the roof of their bldg) but it looks like rain tomorrow too, so I think K and I will flag it, but J will probably go along. Sunday I thought we might head out to the airport a bit early and check out some shopping around Makuhari - I have seen a Carrefour there (yep, just googled it and it is there, but it looks like it is part of an Aeon mall...hmmmm. I wonder if it is worth even going to??) We might also pick up some important supplies (read: muffins and meat) at Costcos too. We'll see how we go.

J has a work party tonight - they are going to a mexican joint!! He said if it is any good, he will take me there too. First I have to use up the rest of the BOX of refried beans cans we bought at Costcos last time.....tonight K and I might be having mexican at home too. Hmmm - what can I make with refried beans??? better go google that one now......
