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

These are my favorites...




05.07.2012 - 15h13 - Summer?


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!!

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.

Some more keywords that led people to my blog that made me laugh...


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

28.06.2012 - 12h06 - Tattoo

I saw this pic on pinterest and fell in love with it...


...and with anything in life, I managed to find some meaning behind it. After Greg (the psychic) told me what an undateable relationship anorexic I currently am I thought it could be a reminder to try and be more open...

So I thought of getting it done in one of these two places...


But then Jen said it's a tramp stamp and Camilla said a heart is incredibly boring... so now I'm not sure...

28.06.2012 - 09.31 - Pimping.Gym.Sherry.Sewing.

OK... this is the first of my two weeks off... so far I have gone out 0 times (oops)!

Last night I tried to be less lazy: got home. went through my phone book. pimped myself out to everyone in the hopes of getting out. drank a glass of sherry. decided to go to gym. gym packed with people. looked like it was full of steroid pumped ants dressed in luminous orange gear. Scared me. I managed 5 min walk. 9 min run then ran out of there. Ran (drove) straight across the road to Andiccio and ordered a pizza. home. another glass of sherry. tv. sewing. bed.


I bought this pair of high-waisted jeans from Mr P a couple of months back. I love them because they make me look like I actually have calves. They don't love me though. First the zip broke - took them to get a new zip put in. Then just before leaving the house one night one of the popper buttons flew off. I tried to super glue it back - didn't work. Took it to get a new button put on. Then the other day the zip broke again! I wasn't prepared to spend more money on a cheap pair of jeans so was about to throw them away last night when I had what I think was a brilliant idea!

I sewed the zip closed! Genius! Now after squeezing myself in I'm too afraid to take them off.

I got stuck in traffic on the way home. I was getting really bored until I ended up behind this car... the kid in the passenger seat hitting his head repeatedly kept me entertained... thanks kid


26.06.2012 - 09h53 - Hello cutie


Just watched this music video Andrea sent me - thanks my friend - nothing like a dozen half naked little boys to brighten ones day!

25.06.2012 - 17h30 - Pretty sunset



One nice thing about winter - it has pretty clouds and sunsets

25.06.2021 - 15h43 - Same sex dating


First the psychic says I need to go out and date a million men - then my stars say I must date a woman - WTF!?

Sounds like I should be having a C-A-R-A-Z-Y! week - but all I want to do tonight is go home and cozy up to a slab of chocolate and watch the last episode of Greys!!

25.06.2012 - 08h00 - 2 weeks without my baby


Dropped Ethan off at his dad house this morning. He'll spend a week there and then a week in Middleburg with his grandparents... I'm trying very hard to keep busy and not miss him toooooo much

19.06.2012 - Little Dragon



I bought a ticket for a band I don't know - Little Dragon (showing my age now).


Wikipedia has this to say about them: Little Dragon are a Swedish electronic band, formed in Gothenburg in 1996.[2] It consists of Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano (vocals, percussion) and her close high school friends Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrik Källgren Wallin (bass) and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards).


I've gone onto youtube to check them out... so far I like their song Scribble Paper the best.
