Game Plan

I took my kids to watch Game Plan this afternoon. It was rather cute, but as always very predictable with the daddy loving the daughter soooo much in the end. We enjoyed it and had a few good laughs. The best part was, as always, the popcorn and smarties!

The rest of my day was good too - did scrapbooking and had a great time as always! Didn't quite finish 2 layouts as I must still do journalling on the one layout. Will probably have to do it tomorrow when my other friend comes for a visit.

Sorry, not much else to say!

My day

Had a pretty good day today! I had breakfast with my mom while Robyn and a friend went shopping at Tygervalley. I spent some time with Robyn yesterday shopping and what a performanh.ce! She looks at everything before she decides to buy and her taste is just as expensive as mine! Much easier giving her the money and letting her shop with a friend. My mom and I had a lovely morning. We also walked around and did some window shopping and ended it all with tea at Dulce. Afterwards we met the girls and came home. Oh yes, picked up Robyn's boy "friend" from church and he spent the afternoon with us. It is amazing how mature the Grade 8 girls are and how boyish the boys are! Anyway, he seems okay.

I went of this afternoon to have more photos developed for scrapping tomorrow and then took a photo of a nightie in the window at Temptations to "tempt" Colin with as we are going off to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary next weekend. Showed it to him and he rather likes it! Maybe I will still go and buy it before we go. The two of us also went to gym as Discovery will cancell our membership if we go less than twice per month. Swiped in, sat down and had a smoothie, and then left again! Best workout I had in years!

Job Hunting

I was always under the impression that staying with one company for a long period of time is a good thing, showed dedication, loyalty, etc. Seems I was wrong, as now after working for the same company for 10 years I find myself lacking the skills that is needed to get a job nowadays. After being a Personal Assistant for 6 years I don't know how to take minutes and I also don't know how to use Excel very well. Both seem to be very important to the Personal Assistant seekers out there! Soooo, I am either going to have to go on a course to improve my skills, or I am going to have to teach myself. Fortunately I have a husband that is very good at Excel and he can teach me. Anyway, enough of the moaning, just so that you know that having "experience" is not always enough. And loyalty means nothing.

Overview of the week

Andrew doing homework on the computer.

My frontpage for my 2008 scrapbook - using Techno pop from Autumn Leaves.

Elvis (green) with his girlfriend Roxy. Stunning little bird!

Andrew eating cornflakes for lunch!

I took these photos earlier this week, but never got around to blogging them. So now you are getting them all at the same time! It has been rather a busy week for him, but it ended on an absolute high after the service at church this morning. Richard preached about how we must celebrate the crusifixion as it is something to celebrate as a christian, Jesus dying on the cross so that we can have everlasting life with Him! He really preaches very well and it was the best Good Friday service I have ever listened to. The whole congregation was very excited by the time he was finished and I can't wait for Sunday.

We are having family over for a bring and share a bit later this afternoon. Tomorrow should be reasonably quiet as I am not sure what our plans are yet. On Sunday after church we are driving up to Langebaan, sleeping over and coming back on Monday. It is going to be very nice!

This will be the last time I blog until Tuesday. Have a very blessed Easter!

Elvis

I have just come back from the vet and I am very happy to report that Elvis, the budgie, has been discharged by the vet! His beek is fine and all we must do now is keep an eye on him to make certain that he stays fine.

We had a very busy weekend. Took a friend of mine to the airport on Friday night, so decided to make it an "outing" by going early and having supper at The Spur so that Andrew can watch the planes take of and land. It actually turned into a very pleasant evening! Imagine that.

Had a party on Saturday morning that went very well, filled envelopes for my sister in the afternoon and then went of to Tygervalley for some easter egg shopping and tea and cake. Spent the evening watching boring movies.

We got up very late on Sunday morning, went to Stodels to buy a pot for my plant as my daughter "sat" on the other one, had something to drink at the restaurant and then had to wait at the church for an hour until my daughter got back from a church camp which she enjoyed very much. We then spent quite a bit of time sorting out my scrapping room - it actually looks much better, must just finish shorten the curtains. She was completely exhausted and spent most of the rest of the day growling at us. My parents and in-laws came around for dinner and we had a lovely meal together.

Very boring I know, but what else is there?

Winter is coming!

I was out and about yesterday and took my camera with as I thought I could take some photos of the mountains all covered in clouds, but alas, it was raining, and I had to be happy with these shots of the yellowing vineyards. Hopefully I will get my new lens soon so that I can zoom in closer! It was just amazing seeing all the autumn colours and realising that winter is coming - at long last!!!! I am not a summer fan, but I am sure you didn't notice that!

Anyway, I had my hair tinted and cut this morning, waxing done this afternoon, so now I am ready to face the world again. Must just make an appointment for a pedicure ........

I deed it!

Looks much better in real life, but this will give you an idea! I painted the canvas yesterday afternoon and was so impressed with the way the paint dried! It ended up looking a bit like the new 2 scoops basicgrey paper! Then I stuck the letters on last night and walaa! All I have to do now is get Colin to hang it up for me, because it is now lying on my table in my scrap room!

I took some lovely photos yesterday when I was out and about, will post it later if I have time.

Off to my haircut!!!!
