The best (and worst) bits of the week.

I am so very tired. Jetlagged even.

Which is fine because I met THE MUPPETS. Or at least Miss Piggy, Kermit and their human friend Jason Segel. It was like every little dream from my childhood coming true. I can’t give too much away until my stories are allowed to be published (sometime near the end of October, beginning of November) but it was awesome.

Naturally, it was my best.

My worst? I could choose from a cast of thousands. I’m going to go with the comedy of errors that is my brain which apparently hates me. On my last day in Los Angeles I decided to go on a little bit of a shopping spree (when in Rome…) and went to go get some cash out.

Do you think I could remember my debit card PIN which I have had and used without drama for nine months now? Not. At. All. It was gone. Like a tumbleweed in a cyclone. Gone. It was like a rat had crawled inside my brain and chewed through the wires. The space that used to occupy my PIN was just an empty black hole.

All this PIN forget-y business required a complicated escape plan from Sydney International when I landed seeing as I had no money to buy a train ticket.

My lucky American dollar I found proved to be anything but.

Oh, before we go, we found this pretty amazing cover of Adele’s Someone Like You. It’s a duet. What do you reckon?

SO, over to you. How was your week, what’s on your mind? Share!

Best: Going to Queensland for nine days - first flying holiday as a family! Can't wait to escape this dreary wintry weather and relax with the fam.

Worst: I hate flying and for some reason (!) I have two little nervous Nelly kids...therefore I suspect they will freak out during takeoff (and I will be internally freaking out). Hope the two hours goes FAST!

Worst 2: Morning sickness. And not being able to complain about it is still too early to tell anyone. And having to avoid drinks left right and centre even though I normally have a few drinks at functions - which means that it's only so long until my cover is blown! ;-)

Happy birthday Mia and love the T-shirt Rick!! Oh and Lana - hope you're still having a ball in New York!

Best: Got the interim results of the amniocentises and they were good which is such a relief. And we found out we're having a girl so now I can start decorating the baby's room. Even though I've still been feeling sick I've still managed to buy some super cute baby girl clothes.

Worst: Spent Monday night and Tuesday in hospital on a drip as my OB thought it would be good for me as I've been quite sick with migraines and nausea. It was good to get hydrated but it hasn't seemed to help get rid of the migraines as I've already had two of them this week. Oh and it took two doctors four goes to get the canular in so I'm covered in bruises and feeling a bit sore and sorry for myself.

Sorry to hear you've been so sick. Glad your test results went well though and congrats on expecting a girl! :-)
