1. I feel so disorganised in my life but I'm determined to get super organised again. My whole world is brighter when things are in their place (don't laugh).
Anyway, so yesterday at about 8 pm I realised it was the 4th October and entries would be closing for the iphoneography competition.
I had to move my buns (as Marie Forleo says), make some hard decisions and submit my entries. 5 submitted - 3 scenery, 2 still life.......................
What does this tell me?
I need to work on the portraits and such with the iphone - maybe a project for next year?
2. It turns out I'm allergic to my office!
I used enough tissues to fill half a bin on Wed, had to go get some emergency meds from a colleague (!) and was off work on Thursday.
Felt awesome from lunch time but then.... at work on Friday morning, it all started up again. It's the darn aircon.
3. I bought a yellow and grey cotton snood today at Woolworths. I always say D and the kids are bad for my spending because in the space of about 20 minutes, I spent R750.
Snood and summer hat for me (polka dots if you must know :) ...I'll get D to take a pic), two summer hats for each kid - one stays at school and one for home - because you saw how big they've gotten and their heads are also big... ;) and some pjs and stokies for Connor. Do your kids wear stokies?
The lovely L sent me a link to a South African company who makes them. For two it would be R210 because they have a buy one, get one free offer.
And the Ooh Baby lady is also prepared to ship to SA :)
4. Today was the choc.olate fes.tival.....
What eventually happened was I asked my friend, C, what she spent on all the chocs because she bought them all and handed the whole lot in at one time. She said just under R250 for both kids. So I made a transfer of R300 as our donation to the fundraising. Done.
Of course the principal is still being "frosty" towards me.
If I had the emotional bandwidth, I'd deal with it but right now, I'm very busy focussing on praying and trusting to learn the lessons I need to learn so I can move onto the next thing.
5. I've just read Carry on, Warrior and it was really great. I gave it 4 stars and a nice review... for me (I'm terrible with reviews) partly because of the theology disconnect.
I'd be interested to hear if you've read it and what you thought. Reading a Goodreads review is like playing the lottery - you just don't know what you'll get. I often find myself thinking, "did we just read the same book?"
Now, part of this getting organised thing...
What do I still need to update you about?
1. review of the fantastic book I read in a day!
2. friend situations
3. latest friend meet-ups
4. vague elephant in the room update
5. holidays?
6. Mrs FF? (joke - she's keeping mum about everything :))
Any other updates?
What's going on in your world?
PS Bryan Adams will be here in January. Tickets went on sale at 9 am and ours were booked by 9:10 probably by D.
