Perky Nana + My New Job

They sound funny don't they and I misinterpreted the "nana" to be "nanna" too but it's short for banana. It still cracks me up. They are basically a choc covered banana bar from New Zealand. KT mentions them in her blog sometimes. She loves them and so do I now and you know what the gorgeous girl did!? As a thank you for sending her my jeans, she sent FOUR of them up to me! I recieved them yesterday. So far I have eaten one, given one to the man and the other two....mmm, I am saving for my birthday. It can be my bday treat :-) They're 4.5 points but we're smart enough to fit it into our points for the day LOL. Thank you! Dan blogged about them too, LOL.

Oh yes, now Back to Basics and LINDA IS AT GOAL WHOO HOO!!

For those of you that have asked, I am working as a Press Dispatch Officer in a Media Distribution Company now. It basically means I am editing some but mostly sending press clippings to clients. The hours are from 5-8am (Mon-Fri) which is perfect so I can spend the rest of the day doing my freelance work. It's the ideal situation for me.

I like Pinky bars too! Although my fave NZ food (not including Cloudy Bay sauvignon blanc, of which I have a stockpile for emergencies) is KaiTaiFire (spelling?!), not the kiwifruit one though. It's good on everything.

michelle said...

Yummy--- I think we may need to arrange to have some sent over for us girls.

Allycat said...

wow - thats an early start to your day! I have a struggle waking up at 7am!!!

Mind you, I would love to have the whole day left to pursue what I really love doing....:-)

you are sounding a lot happier and healthier now - its great to hear/see/type...eh whatever!lol

K said...

Sorry to leave u with temptation but it really does not make sense to send one lonely chocky bar to Oz!!!
No idea what Kaitaifire is Caramel KK but can only guess its some sort of spicy sauce. Thought u were talking bouta Katchafire which is most definitely not a food!
Glad to hear the new job is going well Mary :)

Silverella said...

Ah so this is what perky nannas are :)

Good thing you like your new job, after all you spent a substantial ammount of time there to not be happy!

Catesa said...

M said...

What a craic. I was thinking like Cat. I must be 12 too. LOL.

Can't wait to see what Dan came up with. :)

I think your new job sounds brilliant. Especially as it gives you the flexibility to fit your exercise and your freelancing around it. Oh, and your "Perky Nana's" of course ;)

Jaykay said...

I can't believe you start work at 5am!

But I suppose if I could work for just 3 hours a day and it meant having a whole day to do other things, then I'd probably do it too.

Slim Suzy said...

Great that your job leaves you time to do your own creative work. Glad it is going well. Don't know about the banana bars. I love bananas so I don't think I better try one.

Emily said...

Go Perky Nana's go!! Do the rest of you have Pineapple Lumps? They're like that, but bigger and banana flavoured, yum :-)

New tat looks great Mary!

Me said...

I have to say that Perky Nana does nothing for me - cannot even imagine eating banana and chocolate together - that me that would be sacriledge mixing anything (except maybe caramel) with chocolate !!!!
Thanks for your kind words - without your support there is very little doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have got this far (I am talking from experience because I have tried more times that I care to think about !!) - so a big thank you again !
Take care and have a great week !
Me

jak said...

LMAO perky nana that's too funny. I read it as "nanna" too but it's way funnier as short for banana!

That's so awesome about your job fitting in perfectly with your freelance work. Excellent stuff!
