Nearly the weekend!

So it seems I've just been on a commenting spre on my friends page; what's that about? I don't do a heck of a lot of commenting; sometimes I just feel I have a heck of a lot to say! Lol!
Any minute now, donna is due here so we can drive to forest Hill to have another practice run with Joy to the chook shop I liked. Joy picked it up straight away yesterday; she's so so clever! :) Even
(OK we've just been). She's really good though she didn't seem to want to find the travel-lators back to the bus. She hates the exaust pipe at the back of the bus; she hesitates to walk me past them so whether she was not wanting to get back to them cos of that fact, who knows. We're going to try the lift next week. donna is worried that we may get pram/trolly traffic while trying to get to the right travel-lator cos at the moment, Joy takes me to the wrong one, eg down when we're meant to go up. so she thinks the lift may be an easier way to go. -- Joy is so clever though; she picks things up so quickly; she's just very stubborn like Heartly was. I exclaimed to Donna "both my dogs are stubborn." Anyway I bought four delicious kievs while there. :) I then caught the bus home while Donna went back to her car.
Anyway, Heartly has fully recovered and she got her proper meal again this morning.
Last night the family went out to the pub ang and Trent got engaged/married to celebrate them having bought a house in Heathmont yesterday. The meal was so nice! :) I had cordon bleu; mmmm!
I'm meeting Ang in the city today for lunch; should be fun. Might get breakfast though now; I'm starving!

So, in my 8.5 years of living out of home, i haven't ever had my parents over for dinner simply because I haven't felt confident enough cooking. I've certainly cooked for a few of my friends when they've happened to be here but I would have preferred not too. Anyway, I've been OK at it, but I've just done easy things like sausages and vegies and, even though parents probably would have come if I'd asked them, I feel it may have been more out of duty as this kinda food is so simple and, I dunno, not much to it. But, tomorrow night, this will all change. I called them before, and asked Mum if they'd like to come over for dinner as I'll be making the Lamb Saag tomorrow afternoon, as I mentioned last week.
Thanks again to thecrazykiwi and budget_barry for providing it; can't wait to try it. after reading the recipe a few times, I feel confident enough with it.

So I will be going shopping tomorrow and getting those ingredients, plus my usual shopping for the week, plus the ingredients for the previously-mentioned chocolate Chip cooky recipe
Thanks to taste.com.au ( text of recipe under the cut )

So yeh, cooking cooking cooking tomorrow afo, but, I'm excited about it. getting my confidence up is so impressing me!
Today I met Ang for lunch; it was lovely and her and i spoke like old friends. Lol! Then I went up to the library and the mail room as her friends heard so much about Joy and were dying to meet her; so she very much enjoyed being centre of attention. In the mail room, she even found a little football that gets thrown around from time to time; Lol cheaky dog!
Well, about all for now! I might write my shopping list for tomorrow; don't want to forget anything.
