I was craving the outdoors so decided to take Ethan and two of his friends on a hike. We went to Suikerbosrand. I think I've been spoilt with Mountain Sanctuary Park - this was too dry (I love water) and flat for me. Was still nice to get out though...
The boys were playing around here when suddenly a swarm of bees came. They ran screaming and thankfully the bees went in the opposite direction - was quite a frightening moment... we talked about it the whole way back!
20.07.2012 - 09h32 - Pizza, Amarula, Engagement rings
I now have every 2nd Thursday off again... my two Johnny's angels are in Germany and my wing woman, Anne was busy last night so I decided to get pizza and amarula and laze at home.
Whilst waiting for the pizza some dodgy man was giving me the eye... usually when this happens I break out in a slight sweat fearing they'll come over and start talking to me... worse, they'll ask me out and me being the nice person I am (haha) will be forced to say yes!!
BUT last night I slipped my ring onto my wedding finger and immediately relaxed - why haven't I thought of doing this before? a) the dodgy man shouldn't want to come over anymore and b) if he does I don't even have to open my mouth to utter a word - I simply lift my hand in front of his face and wiggle the finger. Nice
PS. I only managed two glasses of amarula before passing out - I'm lame

Busy updating my work blog... too much stuff to choose from. I find it funny that it looks like I have more party invitations then YP work...
19.07.2012 - 09h15 - yeehaw!
Yesterday we received a kids CD with cowboy music on it - we really liked this song - "saddle bum"!
18.07.2012 - Mandela Day
Media24 staff got together (in a small boardroom) to pack 5 000 snack packs for child rape victims. I managed to take some pics, put together 5 packs before getting elbowed in the face and left. Well done good people.
18.07.2012 - Vida Chocolate overload
Usually when the girls go to Vida I don't get anything but today...
- I'm sick of winter
- Exhausted (and we're only 3 days back into the school routine)
- We were talking about sad stuff at work this morning
so I decided to treat myself with:
- Vida hot chocolate
- Vida chocolate croissant
feeling a little sick now :)
17.07.2012 - 15h09 - Fill the #^&$ing kettle people!!
I'm getting SO mad. Every time I go to make coffee the kettle is empty. DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW HOW TO FILL AND REBOIL A KETTLE?!!??
Really people - it only takes a minute to turn around, fill the kettle, put it down and flip the switch - 3 minutes max for the really dumb morons out there...

16.07.2012 - Week off
I took a week off work to spend with Ethan... we didn't go away but it was still great to have a break...
I didn't take many pics but this is what I managed to collect on my camera this past week:

07.07.2012 - Cut it all off!
I'd been bugging the girls at work about what to do with my hair - I talked about cutting it SO much that I decided I couldn't come back to work after my weeks leave with the same hair - so I did it - I chopped it all off :)
05.07.2012 - 19h00 - Dinner @ the Rankins
Last night I went and had dinner with Camilla and her husband Neil. On the way to their house I was so happy I was going there rather than the Jolly!!
I landed up only taking pics of the food - but to help you get a mental picture of the night I made up the below pic - this is what we looked like - except Neil wasn't shouting at us and I never sat on their kitchen counter... but you get the idea
This was dinner - delicious. I even left with a lunch box of leftovers for lunch
This was the homemade ice cream. It had chunks of fudge in it - need I say more?
Thanks Rankins for a lovely dinner and for keeping me company xoox

It's the 5th of July and for two days in a row now I have been sitting here in a vest - LOVING this winter!!
03.07.2012 - 16h59 - Lily's new toy
Lily has just discovered the washing machine pipe - and because I don't know how to connect it under the sink she gets to splash around everyday. Cute.
29.06.2012 - Girls night out
WOW. What a night. Things I learned from this night:
1. You can reunite with your high school friend at the age of 32 and still act like 18 year olds
2. Don't poke fun at yourself when introducing yourself to strangers - they don't think it's funny - they just think you're an idiot then treat you like crap the whole night
3. PDA at the age of 32 is a little gross - don't do it!
4. When your friend says the man you're talking to looks like a psycho and he responds with "maybe I am" - that's probably a good time to walk away
5. Stop handing your number out to strangers!
6. When you find yourself agreeing to things like... meeting a mans parents and moving overseas with them STOP!! - it's time to go home
THE END
