this past weekend

Realised that I need to try and post a little more often than I am, not very good at this am I?

 

Last Friday B took me to watch the new Harry Potter movie that I have been dying to see, I have read all the books- at least twice, and I couldn’t wait to see the movie

What a disappointment,

Well at least I didn’t find it as good as the others; to me it seemed as if they concentrated far too much on the parts that weren’t important and just rushed over the parts that were

BUT MAYBE THAT’S JUST ME

So going to have to hope and pray that they sort themselves out for the next one

 

Saturday I laughed more than I have in a very long time

Ok for those who don’t know I am a bit of an artsy fartsy person- I paint, I draw, I do scrap booking, but I have developed a love for photography and I would love to get in to Maternity and baby photography (esp. newborns)

I have been getting loads of advice (THANK YOU) and I received Photoshop and Corel Draw for my birthday (THANK YOU)

 

So I asked my special guinea pig Nicky if I could borrow her and her gorgeous preggy belly to practice on

Well as I said, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time, I had so much fun

THANKS GIRL

 

And I have to admit- for a first time I don’t think that my photos came out too badly, now I just need to figure this whole photoshop thing out (either its damn hard or I am just doff)

So I can play around with them

 

Afterwards we met some of the OPM ladies for lunch at Cavendish- it was quite small- just 4 of us, but it was perfect and we had an absolute ball

Nix and I did a spot of shopping for her hospital bag- now I was totally freaked out, what is wrong with the shops, every button down set of Jimmy Jams looks like it came out with the VoorTrekkers

Now I mean really, what is up with that

Luckily we found a really nice pair that didn’t look like her great granny could have worn it

 

Saturday night was RUGBY night- and yes again Rascals was the place to be in the Southern Suburbs of Slaap Stad

How I love being a local-the pub was SO packed but lo and behold I had just walked in the door and there was a chair for me

 

Sunday I had big plans to sit and veg the whole day- I am so exhausted, haven’t been sleeping well at all

In fact the bags under my eyes have bags

And what do I spend the day doing- cleaning

I got a bee in my bonnet and decided to spring clean our bedroom

That involves moving the whole bedroom around hhhhm and I wonder why I have a sore back

Of course madam Cleo Cat has to try and “help” me every step of the way- attacking the broom, the mop

Diving under the sheet when I try to change the bedding

 

I eventually sat down at 15h00!!!!

 

But I am so happy- my bedroom looks so much better and I feel better

Amazing how sometimes a little thing like that can lift your mood!

 

 

whats been happening so far

So I thought that it was about time that I finally updated my blog

 

Where to start

The 18^th was B’s surprise party, and hell was I stressed out, trying to get everything sorted out on the last day.

I mean how can you plan and organise a surprise party for someone when you are living with them

I wanted to at least get some things ready at work, but trust MURPHEY and his stupid LAW, I had a week from hell at work that week and didn’t even have time to pee or drink tea

Oh well

Things all worked out perfectly in the end

He didn’t suspect a thing , which I really thought that he did, seeing how he kept on messing around with the plans that we made

( I ended up being such a bitch to him, just so I could get my way and things would run smoothly) Poor guy thought I had PMS

 

He arrived a bit early (typical) but at least there were people there, he was so overwhelmed, he didn’t say anything for almost an hour (note to self, do this again of I want to keep him quiet for a bit)

 

A fantastic evening was had, plenty of friends, good rugby and loads of drinks

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR THE 20^th JULY MY LOVE

a big thank you to everyone

Wow, where do I begin

 

Well a huge THANK YOU to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes on Friday

 

So as almost everyone knows, I am planning a surprise party for B for Saturday the 18^th

And about 2 weeks ago I had a feeling that he was up to something, after asking EVERYONE what was up, I was told that I am imagining things, nothing is going on

Well apparently nothing could be further from the truth

On Friday night we were supposed to go have a quick drink with B’s reps at the Waterfront and then go out for sushi

Well SUPPOSED is the operative word

We got there and yes it was just his reps- and then my best friend pitches up- no huge surprise there as I also asked her to come

 

Then Wilmien- ok also no shock- she works at the Waterfront

So I ask B- who else is coming and he tells me EVERYBODY, now by this time I don’t believe a word as I have been trying to find out info for ages and everyone told me I was mad

So then B’s sister walks in, and Wendy and kids (I used to teach her kids) and then Nicky and Lameez

 

So now my mind is seriously in shock- I mean how the hell the girls from my FAVOURITE forum hear about this- well it turns out that he mailed some of the girls- he got their addys from mails I had forwarded to him

And that Eve had helped by sending it to the CT ladies

 

SO A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED

I had a wonderful birthday and was so spoilt- I thoroughly appreciate you taking your time and coming to join us

 

Saturday B and I just lazed around the house and then went and did a spot of shopping, then it was time to meet Ryan at Rascals as we had rugby tickets

 

Trunched around in the heavy rain t the rugby- thank goodness I had my new ski jacket so I stayed nice and dry (well my top half anyway- legs were drenched)

 

And how disappointing- the SHARKS lost to WESTERN PROBLEMS of all teams- so you can imagine that the boys were gloating

 

Sunday I was under strict instructions from Dr B to rest my back- app he says I don’t listen to the Dr properly so I have to listen to him, so the only time that I was allowed to get up was to wee- I didn’t complain too much, he had to run around all day and make me tea LOL that will teach him

 

This week is going to be and already is hectic at work, and I am trying to get all the stuff for B’s surprise party organised- I will post pics of it

 

 

 

 

 

i am LIVID

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while- will do the big update soon- but in the planning stages of something for DH’s birthday

 

Ok the reason that I am actually so livid- so yesterday I get a mail from Baby and Company, telling me that a “friend” referred me to their competition and that I can win a pram and a R1000 gift voucher from Baby and Co

Ok my first reaction was WTF!!! I had a MC 4 months ago- ok but maybe she just entered addys and didn’t think- so I mail her and say “Um what am I supposed to do with a pram?”

And her response “LOL if you win you can give it to me”

Ok now this is the same person from my previous post that I am having a hard time dealing with her pregnancy (my issue I know)

But I really found that to be so insensitive

I know I am dealing with this- and think that I am doing a good job- but then this comes and knocks you over the back of your head

I mean really, am I maybe being too sensitive here??

 

I think that people should just take a second and think what they are doing or saying- because it can really hurt the person on the other end
