Showing off my new icon, even though it has nothing to do with the rest of the post.
Yay! :-) I've had a really excellent weekend, so while I'm
tired, it was definitely worth it :-D
Friday: Met up with Henni after work to go shoe shopping. To my great surprise I actually managed to find some shoes that both looked good on me and that were comfortable to wear. I HATE shopping for shoes, it always takes forever. Apparently my feet are odd sizes and adding that to the fact that I have to be very particular what I wear due to my bad ankle - there's very little left I can actually wear. Anyway, I was lucky and found some sandals I quite liked. Now I just hope they're suitable for adaption (I get a special sole put on all my shoes) - I'll know that tomorrow.
After shopping we took the train to Copenhagen where we met up with Mixi. I like that my sisters and friends get on well enough to want to hang out together :-) We went to a delicious Thai restaurant for dinner, and general craziness ensued.

Henni and I had actually planned to go to an open-air concert in Tivoli afterwards, but it had been raining on and off all day, so we decided it wasn't worth it, and ended up just sitting and talking at her place instead. Very cozy evening :-)
Saturday: Saturday was the annual NC summer party, and I had a blast! Probably the best yet actually. The people planning it had rented space at a rather exclusive beach club, and while it was too cold to actually go swimming, there were lots of other things to do, and we felt very VIP lounging in our beach chairs while drinking champagne and eating strawberries ;-) Unfortunately Lars didn't feel too good and had to leave early, but he insisted that I stayed, and I'm glad I did, because I had a great time :) I feel awful saying it, but perhaps I had a
better time because I didn't have to think about entertaining Lars, but could just entertain myself? Whatever the case, it was great fun. I got to talk to a lot of my favourite colleagues, danced to my heart's content (I love dancing!) and was still able to sneak out, so I could make the last train home ;-)
Sunday: I skipped morning church and SLEPT IN! Much needed :-) Didn't feel like skipping church altogether though, so at 2pm I went down to put in my weekly (I first put 'weakly'... Freudian slip much?) training session at the gym, and then continued on to the afternoon service at the Pentecostal church. Great as always, so I'm glad I went :)
At the service they told us about a women's* conference coming up in August - "Transformation 2009. Expect great things FROM God - Dare to do great things FOR God." There are two speakers from Denmark, one from the US (Lisa Bevere) and one from Australia (Reuben Morgan from Hillsongs Church in Sydney). I'm really, really, really eager to go, but it's not all that much fun to go by myself when I don't know anybody, so I'm trying to convince my sisters, my mum, and the girls from bible study to go along with me. Thankfully Nina immediately replied that she'd love to come with me, but had to figure out what to do with the kids before she could commit herself entirely. I do hope she'll be able to get them sorted - it would be SO COOL to go with her :-D
*I just noticed - women is one word I insist on pronouncing the Kiwi way - [wo-men] instead of [we-men] :D
