update

i didn't realize how much work piled up over the scheme of two weeks, I've been super busy trying to get everything accomplished.  not many updates here but figured for the sake of the good old bloggerooo i would write about some current happenings.  

recently....

....i've learned not to wear bell bottoms while riding a bike, because they get caught in the chain and then they rip. (i can hear the voices, "don't wear bell bottoms at all" touché.)

...i've learned that there are some very weird interesting people that ride the train. this week i have been asked to attend a mosque service with a bearded man, and also, an old woman asked if i wanted to share her sandwich. no thanks. on both accounts.

...i've learned that it is really hard to have a clean diet (see previous post) and I've cheated a few times

..i've learned that I'm really really impulsive. and definitely have a mild case of add. and i try to do to many things at once. desk = prime example

...i've learned that im not really a 9 to 5 type of girl, but i think i already knew that?

anyhow,

 I'm heading up to palmerston north tomorrow for work, 

its located 2 hours north of wellington

and when i get back, i shall be attending the wearable arts fashion show, tickets compliments of my lovely work. more updates soon. miss everyone on the home front.

this little piggy went to market

since i moved here my eating habits have been completely out of hand.  treats everyday, bakeries of every corner, a kebab cart here a kebab cart there. no gym membership. (although i did drag andrew out for a run during one of the days he was here)  at first i was like. oh its vacation, its fine. but its not vacation. you get the point.  so i finally decided to get my life in order.  i had my first yoga class today, and tomorrow i am starting a 

clean eating diet.  

you can learn about it here.

 basically it is eating things that are closest to the earth as possible.  so veggies, fruits, lean meats, whole grains and I'm not cutting out dairy completely, but some people do. there are a million interpretations of this, but for me it just means cutting out all processed foods and trying to eat as much raw food as possible.  the hardest part for me will definitely be cutting back on the cheese. ohhh boy do i love my cheese. 

the farmers market was the perfect kick off to my new clean eating.  i stocked up on so many fruits and veggies. wish me luck! 

never a dull moment...

the other day when i was down by the pier, i heard a commotion of clapping, laughing, and someone calling someone else an idiot.  i looked up.  saw these crazies jumping off the crane? i don't know what that is. but it looks fun. can't wait for it to get warm, might have to give this a go. 

oh yea and they were fine by the way, looked a little chilly when they got out. 

a little lauren moffatt to start of the weekend. i think yes. 

All Blacks

we were so lucky to be able to snag tickets to the all blacks game (thanks to tristan and chris) the people i work with really are the nicest. the game was so fun, and our seats were just high enough to be under the covered section, so we were sheltered from the pouring rain and wind, being wet and cold is not my thing.  

my favorite part of the game, was the beginning, before it even started.  

a little tradition known as the Haka. it is an ancient maori dance that was preformed before battle.  the movements are pretty intimidating and the players take it very seriously. the other team just stands in front of them, pretending not to be affected. pretty entertaining.   i loved it. so cool to see the stadium light up as soon as it started.  oh and the all blacks won the game, so double bonus.

watch this video of the Haka to understand better

and a few hockey photos.. for my dad... 

the last few days have been jam packed with stuff, a little golf, some rugby (better pics to come), and my last hockey game..

and last night there was a reunion with this babe.  it was so fun and absurd. most of the pictures captured are not blog appropriate, so obviously we had a good time.
