A gorgeous Autumn day!

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

The weather today is simply lovely! The grass is vividly green from all the rain, the sun is shining with no clouds in the sky, the leaves are mostly off the trees, littering the paths with orange and brown colours, and there is not even a breath of wind! Pity I’m inside coding a website (in between FB and blogging of course!), but later the fiance and I will be going on a walk around our suburb. I’ll post a pic of the weather should it still be decent.

Hope everyone is having a great Autumn day! (and might I mention it bugs me when people call it Winter already…Winter is only in July people!)

Ahh, Time, you wiley minx you!

Ever have the feeling life is running away with you? I kind of feel like that every now and then. Ok, more often than I’d like to admit.

There are so many things I’d like to do, and yet I want to also do nothing….does that even make sense?

I’d love to do some stuff around my apartment but when actually faced with doing it, I suddenly catch a bout of the Lazies. Silly, isnt it.

I did manage, however, to tidy up my bookshelf, and the best part is, its stayed tidy for almost three weeks now! Yes, I can hear that derisive snort from some of you, but depsite the Virgo inside me, I’m a messy person at heart. Combined with the Lazies, thats a deadly combination for any apartment. Anyway, so I hauled everything out the bookshelf, threw away some rubbish, piled some stuff in a bag which I will be donating to our local animal shelter to sell, and then reorganised the books neatly on the shelves.

Its amazing the difference it makes, when I’m walking in and out of the room I cant help but look over and notice how neat and tidy it looks. Cue the warm fuzzies. Although, I do wish I had taken a Before photo. I did take an After photo with my phone though!

Voila! (Please excuse the blegh whitebalance…:*))

I still want to reorganise the linen cupboard, finish sealing the wooden slats of our braai shelves, and sort out my computer desk! I’m spending less and less time here because, well, it just annoys me to see all the crap I have sitting around. And I want to put up some more of my photography around the house, as well as find and photograph something awesome for our lounge wall canvases I want to print.

So much to do, so little time to do it in….

Happy New Year!

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

I hope everyone saw it in safely!

We had a party at our place, which despite the fact hosting large parties make me nervous for the well-being of my stuff, the party went off well and we braai’d, drank, played guitar, and smoked some hubbly until midnight, where we sent around shots of White Chocolate Tequila as a surprise for our guests and then we popped some poppers and listened to the fireworks in the distance over Auld Lang Syne playing in our lounge.

I’m also happy to report that myself, the bf and my best friend and her bf went to visit The Diamond Works (just for fun cos its free!), where we were treated to a glass of bubbly while we took the tour where we could watch diamonds being cut and set, as well as learn interesting facts about the process of diamond mining and polishing.

We took a little time afterwards to look at the loose diamonds in preparation for our visit to the Wizard at the end of next week, and chatted to the sales ladies (who were awesome) about colours, cut and clarity. I even got to see my first flawed diamond (you can see little black specs in the diamond facets).

To tide me over, cos of course I’m really excited about the Wizard, I’m drowning myself in a few wedding forums, reading up on disaster proposals, terrible MILs (mother-in-laws), seeing photos of each girl’s bling, and other such girly wedding stuff.

So, to 2011, may it be My Year!

Just a little longer now…

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Only half a day more at work and I’m done for the year until the fourth! After work tomorrow, the sales team (which of course now includes me!) are going out for burgers as a team building exercise. So keen for this! :D

Have barely done any Christmas shopping this year, so I’m going to have to cram everything in on Friday!! Its the latest I’ve ever left it! My head is spinning.

Then its the bf’s birthday after Christmas, on the 3rd, and he’s given me no inclination of what he wants for a gift. Sigh. At least I figured out what to get him for Christmas, whew!

My Christmas Wishlist…

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Most of these arent going to happen this Christmas, but its nice to dream…

1) Selphy Canon printer…
Selphy C800

2) Kindle with free 3g+wireless…
Kindle SA

3) R.A.T mouse for gaming…
R.A.T 7

*happy wishful sigh*
