Long time...

It is nearly the end of the first month of 2010 and I feel as though I just have not had a holiday!!! So the problem is because everything is so busy, I need ti try get back into the groove... Easier said than done.... Slowly, I will start working on my Masters, I have to! I guess the motivation to work will come back and the tendency to wanna stay in bed all day will subside. But if anyone has any ideas as to how to make that happen faster, please send the ideas my way...

New year but hopefully not the same old stuff...

So, it has been a good month since I lasted blogged but I was in some serious need of some good R'n R! I guess that means no emails or computers... The holidays were great, spending Christmas with the lions and elephants was something very special. It was great spending some quality time with good friends and family!

All seems to be back to normal... But let's cross fingers that this year can only be better than last year!

Things I learned that can be improve on for 2010:
1. Being a good boss does not mean being a good friend
2. Eat healthily and start walking!
3. Let the bad comments just slide off your back...
4. Try not kill your Masters supervisor(s)
5. Relax!

I will have to let you know how this goes... fingers crossed!

Phew...

What a crazy crazy week last week! On Tues night Brett was playing action cricket and broke his thumb! He said it wasn't too bad but the next morning it was twice it's original size and blue... So off we go to the doctor who then had to rush him to see a specialist. Luckily, with the help of an OT splint for 8 weeks, he avoided surgery! But now, I have a bit of an inavlid for a husband as he has one less appendage which usually does the basic activities of washing the dishes, driving typing carrying heavy things etc...

On Fri, Brett induldged in a PS3! I am actually loving the games with the amazing graphics as well as being able to watch blurays... it was so worth it! So, despite the broken thumb... he is playing his PS3!

On Saturday, Brett's company took us away for a weekend in the Magaliesberg! Wow, it was so amazing. The food, the scenery, the service... unfortunately the bliss only lasted for less than 24hrs but I guess it was better than nothing! I also had to put up with his boss callig him brettuce lettuce all weekend. And no, the more it goes on... the less I get immune to it, in fact I think the opposite may apply.

But now, I am on leave :-) Happiness is... Phew...

what a weekend!

So I decided to go with the choc mousse for Fri night! It was a disaster making it because I spilt the chocolate, spilt the egg and beat the cream unitl it was butter but as a combination, it was simply divine! Yum!

On Saturday, we atched 2012. It was a movie that I have mixed feelings about... Lots of action and great special effects but a modern day ark? Hm...

On Sunday, on our way home from church we witnessed a car accident. A young girl was T boned by another car. So we stopped and helped! This girl was no more than 19 and terribly shaken up! Thank God she was reasonably ok! The ambulance was grwat but if you call 10111, they take at least 2 min to answer the phone, all thw hile you are forced to liten to circus music, then this grumpy woman answers the call (like you have disturbed her sleep) and syays she will transfer your call. you land up holding on for like another 3 minutes and it ultimately results in your call being disconnected! She was taken to hospital on a stretcher for precautionary measures and the 'drunk' guy who hit her was still arguing with the cops when we left.

Work is starting to get painfully quiet now but a WEEK til I go on leave! Hoorah!!

Working on a Fri...

I am sitting in my office watching the clock tick waiting to go home! It is not so great working during this festive season as things start to quieten down A LOT! I would much rather be at home cleaning up and preparing dinner for guests tonight (I know I sound like a houeswife when I say that). I am making a spaghetti bolognaise with a nice salad. I am not sure what I should do as a starter and for pudding my choices are: chocolate coconut pudding, syrup sponge cake or white and dark chocolate mousse. What would you want for dessert?

10 days til I go on leave (including weekends) and coutning!!!

Award 'speech'

As Tamara has given me a Blog award, I feel that I should now share six random things about myself in gratitude - as it is blogger tradition:
)
1. I love cooking but wish I was more experimental
2. I am quite emotional (it doesn't take much to make me laugh or cry)
3. I have never been to the Kruger Park (when I was younger than 2 but that doesn't count because I can't remember it).
4. I love Christmas!
5. I wish I was a good enough singer to join a worship band and travel the world!
6. During the week, I enjoy getting to bed early or I am very grumpy the next day at work!

On the Christmas note... I have just 'Christmasified' my office with tinsel and the like! it is getting me into the holiday spirit and it is always good to know that my leave is just around the corner!

I am meeting the new therapists who will be joining me next year! Let's hope they are great and that I love them...

Now... What should I say I want for Christmas? What do you want for Christmas?

A weekend of note..

So, the weekend turned out to be fab!!!

Ethics approved me ;-) I stayed awake for Twilight and I quite enjoyed it!

Saturday was awesome because plyaing good poker with good friens is always a winner... it helps when your husband wins the second prize!

I got burnt like a lobster yesterday watching cricket but I did'nt have to wash the communion glasses and we met a really great couple!

I am however, dismayed by one of my work colleagues moron suggestions to have a christmas party at Wild Waters in Boksburg! a. I am not driving to Boksburg b. I am not parading around in my bikini in front of work colleagues! Needless to say I declined their invitation! A nice glass of wine with a good meal sounds far more appelealing to me...
