Hi all! Just broke away from my hectic Sunday schedule to let you all know how much I am enjoying this day. Well I awoke at 9.30am with the smell of freshly-made coffee and I just knew it was going to be a perfect day. I haven’t left the bed yet! (Naughty naughty)! I am tempted to say it’s the perfect weather for lazing in bed with your hubby and your dogs, but I haven’t actually looked outside yet, so for all I know it’s a gloriously sunny day – but I have my doubts! So, instead I will say, it’s a perfect day for lazing in bed with your hubby and your dogs – regardless of what the weather is doing.
It has really been a great weekend, starting with a public holiday on Friday, on which I managed to spend a whole afternoon with my wonderful friends, Caroline and Suzaan – it has been a long while since we have spent time together just the three of us and it was great to be able to do so. I also was honoured to see the latest baby scan and delve into the baby drawers to ooh and aah over all the baby’s little things. She certainly will be a very well-dressed (and very warm, thanks to all the blankets) little madam!
Yesterday, I had my dad and stepmom over for lunch, which was relaxing and nice. Last night we went with Clive and Nix to see ‘Hannibal Rising.’ Why oh why do I do this to myself? I spend most of the movie with my head tucked into Steven’s armpit – thank goodness he showered before we went out! Having said that, it really was a very good movie with a great introduction to how Hannibal became Hannibal – played by a very intense and excellent young actor who I have never heard of but I am sure will be seeing a lot more of due to his brilliant performance.
And so, now that I have managed to drag myself away from bed to write this post and check on all the other bloggers (as you can see my blogging addiction far outweighs my laziness); I will say bye bye and hope you are all having an equally blissful Sunday!
Love you all!

Yay! The rain has arrived! I know most people are not loving it driving in this to work etc. I am one of the lucky few who gets to work from home and so I am loving it! I just love rain and Winter – everything feels so fresh and clean! It’s my favourite season! I know it’s not technically Winter yet, but on days like today it sure feels like it!
Have a beautiful day everyone!

Hi all!
Well, I am in the process of sending off a 52-page fax which I have to babysit, so while that’s being done, I may as well say a quick hi.
Firstly, let me just quickly say on the whole snoring front – the night before last I did an Olbas steam before bed and went through the whole night without snoring and bliss was restored to our home! HOWEVER, last night – back to normal I am afraid..! Well, I didn’t steam but you can’t do that every night can you? So I just did the usual preparation as well as sniffing the Olbas and this other sniffy stuff and the plaster and everything…. Oh well, I will have to just keep trying!
Last night was another late one for me – only got to bed at 2am and now I am of course exhausted.
Next, on the dieting/exercise front – this week is a good one – so far! Yesterday I restarted my personal training sessions with Nadia who helped me get into my wedding dress. I am going to be seeing her once a week as well as my running 3 times a week. I just think it will add a bit of mix to my routine and she really pushes me which I need. Yesterday I was squatting and lunging all over the gym floor – I actually think she gets secret sadistic pleasure from making a fool out of people. Woke up this morning and couldn’t walk – my thighs are aching! She sent me an sms this morning asking me how I am feeling – sick twisted individual!
I am still planning to post the pic of me so you can all see where I’m at and how faaaaaaaaaaar I still need to go, but I want it to be a nice pic (well, as nice as possible) so I have to get Steven to do it still. Watch this space….(She says with trepidation…..)
So anyway, as soon as the fax is through I will be off to gym again for a run – hopefully it will loosen those muscles. Hopefully today I will get to see Caz as I haven’t seen her in over a week!
Have a good one everybody!
