1.2kgs down and counting. Al you better start saving up for that trip to Italy!

I only have 9.2 kg to go before I get an Italian holiday. I can almost taste the food. Kat and Bob start packing. So now the deal is that I put off having a baby until we get back from Italy. Al has decided that the MBA is not his thing and that he'd rather pursue the CFA further. I agree, and no it's not because this means we can actually have holidays now but because I think it would serve him better to do a financial degree if he wants to stay in the financial sector.

Chloe has a music recital tomorrow so she is really excited. Expect pictures. Allan and I are like the music parents from a horror movie. We've invited grannies,aunts, uncles and anyone who even looks like they know us. We've charged the video camera, the digital camera and even chloes st elmos disposable camera is out. Niks gevoonte!

Womens Day

The day to honor the women of South Africa and their role in the struggle. I love this day! Maybe it's the feminist in me but I love the mushy feeling I get on this because of all it signifies. I also love the fact that I have a reason to "hang with the girls".

First we started with a breakfast that Van organsied. The "Women 4 Women" breakfast was really nice but even better was the cocktails and sushi at Blowfish. I think I am still red from the "heat".

Here's some pics.

More w4w
















Mish's Sis (Can't use real names wifout persmission) learns to eat with chopsticks














Nats has a go but she eventually gave up and used her fingers














Anthea is a pro sushi queen( she is also a journalist for women 24 and doens not mind her real name being used so go ahead and google her... she is very funny)















That's all folks!

Okay! I've been busy... Amongst others paying people loads of money so I can "make their day". So last week I lost a total of 1.5 kgs. Needless to say I was very happy and rewarded myself with a lunchbar( it's a chocolate bar- my fav)! I only have 10.4kgs to go then Allan has to take me on a holiday so I can wear a bikini(in the dark of course). I've also been busy contemplating going for a new job. In a nutshell the new job is more stressful, more work, a bigger challenge, I'm qualified for it in terms of experience and education, I'm not too sure about the staff (since half of them have left because the place is in a mess) but it is slighty more money and I might be working with my current manager. It also seems the whole world thinks I should go for this job except me. I am intrigued by it though.

Anyway on a lighter note, Al always ends with a joke so...

A woman comes home and tells her husband, "Remember those headaches I've been having all these years? Well, they're gone.""No more headaches?" the husband asks, "What happened?"His wife replies, "Susie referred me to a hypnotics. He told me to stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat 'I do not have a headache; I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache.' And it worked! The headaches are all gone."The husband replies, "Well, that is wonderful."His wife then says, "You know, you haven't been exactly a ball of fire in the bedroom these last few years. Why don't you go see the hypnotics and see if he can do anything for that?"The husband agrees to try it.Following his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his clothes,picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom. He puts her on the bed and says, "Don't move, I'll be right back."He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later and jumps into bed and makes passionate love to his wife like never before.His wife says, "Boy, that was wonderful!"The husband responds, "Don't move! I'll be right back."He goes back into the bathroom, comes back and round two was even better than the first time. The wife sits up and her head is spinning husband again says, "Don't move, I'll be right back."With that, he goes back in the bathroom. This time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the bathroom, she sees him standing at the mirror and saying, "She's not my wife. She's not my wife."His funeral services will be held on Monday.

and now a joke from chloe...
Why did the turkey cross the road?

TO PROVE HE IS NOT A CHICKEN!

Okay that's all folks, now I will go home before my husband divorces me!
