Wordless Wednesday

Or Wednesday Funny

Or Both

I don't have anything to blog about today. Well I do have, but I don't know how to put it into words. I'm annoyed with someone who I swore I wouldn't mention on this new beautiful blog, so it's kind of sucking all my "positive energy" away and I'm thinking maybe I should just leave you with a gorgeous pic of my McK and some funnies....

Oh and check out this link for MY BIRTHDAY PHOTOS.



Things to say when stressed at work

"Well this day was a total waste of make-up"

"Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble plastic is cheap. You choose"

"I'm not crazy. I've been in a very bad mood for 30 years."

"I'm not your type. I'm not inflatable"

"Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven't gone to
sleep yet"

“I work 45 hours a week to be this poor.”

"You look like sh!t. Is that the style now?"

"I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert."

"If a$$holes could fly, this place would be a freaking airport."

My all time favourite and directed at the person I don't want to mention on this blog:

"You are depriving some village of an idiot."

I promise to be back tomorrow with an exciting post.... I'm seeing B tonight. :)

Misinterpretation

I find it so interesting how some things can get taken out of context by either using the wrong emoticon or adding an extra exclamation mark.....

A rolling eyes emoticon for me is a sign of sarcasm. Yesterday when it proceeded a simple sentence, I was like "oops I would be offended by that statement". But then again, I know how this person's posting style works so the rolling eyes isn't a factor. But what about the person who doesn't realize that?

This morning four !!!! after a sentence would p!ss me off and I would take it as a "this person is slightly annoyed with me" and then retaliate with something appropriate back.

Words typed onto a screen can be misinterpreted because you simply can't see or feel the emotion that the words were actually meant with. I think this is the biggest reason behind "cyber b!tch fights" on most forums.

I often am in such a hurry when posting, that leaving out a simple smiley emoticon makes the whole feel of my post very b*tchy. Or the wrong emoticon got taken out of context from what I meant it to be. So I'm just as guilty of it.

Is it really "guilty of it" or should readers take at least two minutes to reread and think a little bit about what could have been said before reacting to it?

I'm just blabbering today, because I don't have anything else interesting to say LOL

And so I turned 30....

My Circus Party was a huge success! Everyone had a great time, there was lots of dancing and laughing and very loud off key singing. :)

I was very spoilt with gifts. A beautiful ring from N&F and gold earrings from family. As well as lovely pamper stuff from a good friend. My friends and family all clubbed together and got me a digital camera too! I am super impressed and just love it. So expect loads more pics from now on!

There were only two disappointments:

1) I never got the yellow basket :( It's the first time in 7 years that I haven't received it. It feels odd.

2) My dear B was man down the whole weekend. He couldn't even make my party. I was so bummed, but I understood. Took my heart a little while to recover.

I should receive the "professional" photos next week, so I will share more pics then with you all.

For now here are some pics from the awesome wedding we attended two weekends ago:





And my McK love's new hair cut:

Happy birthday to ME!

When I opened my eyes at 6am this morning, I had two gorgeous blue eyes staring back at me. I don't know how long she had been awake for....

McK: "Happy birthday mamma" with a huge smile. That child loves birthdays!

Me: "Thanks my baby, you know how old mommy is today?"

McK: "nope, I forgot"

Me: "I'm 30"

McK: "That's old, but I still love you".

Thanks my darling, mommy loves you too!

Then as per tradition my phone rang just after 6am. I look at the caller ID and smile, answer...... All I hear is "een, twee, drie....." (1.2.3) and my cute little duet start singing Happy Birthday to me. I love those two little boys. (They belong to my other best friends Nita and Frans). As per usual, tears trickle down my cheek. They are so awesome!

Happy birthday to ME!

Argh.......

I knew it had to be done. The visit was LONG OVER DUE. Like 8 years over due. But freaking hell I'll rather have my cervix swabbed once a week than pay the Dentist a visit!!

I made the appointment for McK and myself last week. I broke out into cold sweats just making the appointments, never mind actually going. The whole week I've been psyching McK up for her first dentist visit. She cried a lot about it (inside I did too), she pulled lip about it (inside I did too) and she laughed about it too (no flucking way did I laugh).

But there we were sitting in the parking lot at the Dentist. I looked at McK asked her if she was nervous. She said calmly no, my heart was racing screaming YES YES YES! I asked her if we should make a run for it. She looked at me as if I was mad, and said "mamma, don't be scared". It was the longest flight of stairs I've climbed in a while.

I even shook uncontrollably while filling in the form for first time patients at the practice. McK smiled and sat quietly. Then we got called in.

The Dentist asked "so who is first", I shoved the 5 year old in front of me and said "SHE IS!" Not a very proud mommy moment, but hey... I gave birth to her, so she has the honours of going first. I held her hand for a bit, but I think it was just to calm my own nerves.

She has 20 perfect teeth! She was so brave getting x-rayed and teeth polished. Such a trooper. She looked so small lying on that chair, her hands tightly wrapped around the arm rests. Off she bounced from the chair smiling from ear to ear! See you in 6 months kid!

Then it was the big baby's turn. Argh. I sat and made all these excuses to the Dentist about how petrified I was/am, that she can be darn lucky I'm actually sitting in this chair about to open my mouth for her blah blah. She tries her best to assure me it will all be fine. SOB!!! I crossed my legs and my hands. Held on tight to my own wrists.

I knew there was a problem with my very back molar. I broke half of it off 2 years ago. Yes, two years ago... But it's never given me any problems so I didn't bother getting it checked out. Until freaking today. They can't save it or fill it. They need to flucking pull it!!!! I need to decide when I want it done. (Ja, not in this century)......

We are going to start with the fillings first, and leave the extraction for last. Can you hear me saying FCUK FCUK FCUK over and over again!! 19 April is the next appointment. You thought I was crapping in my pants this morning, think again.....

Will pictures do???

Instead of waving the white flag, I thought I could buy you over with some photos from our week with B's parents. Remember the photo shoot I was telling you all about?????

The Chuter Siblings and their partners.



B and I



My darling McK



I'm not too fond of myself in these pics, but at least the rest of this gorgeous family are just that - GORGEOUS!!

I will still get the Wedding Pics up from last weekend, with the full story. I promise. :)

Two more sleepies till I turn 30!!! I was heading into a major Pre-Birthday Depression until I got some wise words from B's mom:

"I used to feel exactly the same way and used to HATE attention or celebrating. But I have since come to realize that every year that we get older is also a another year we have been blessed with. The older we get the more we are being blessed with LIFE. I used to HATE birthdays but now I LOVE them because I realize I am lucky to be blessed with another year whereas others are not so fortunate......SO MY GIRL......from now on embrace every birthday with as much enthusiasm as you can and ENJOY your blessing!"

So I'm trying. I went and bought balloons and a "Happy Birthday" sign to hang. hehehe, I'm sure I will start feeling it soon enough.

Apologies.... again

I have been reprimanded about not blogging.... So I'm just posting this so that my dear sister doesn't have to look at Uncle Kracker again and feel nauseous! LOL

I promise to be back, (hopefully) some time during today and give a full update!

Ciao for now
