Ugh, I can't believe its another week already!!! Lucky for us South Africans, Wednesday is voting day and they have very generously made it a public holiday!!!! Yay!!!!! I really didn't want to come in to work this morning. I had to drag myself out of bed etc... This isn't normal for me :( I think I must still be coming down from my holiday high. *shrug* who knows...

It hasn't stopped raining all weekend and today is even wetter... I might have to start swimming to work at this rate ;) Last night it was raining sideways and my curtains got soaked. I know its good for the plants and all... but I really do need my clothes to start drying sometime soon.

I bought myself a dining room table and chairs yesterday :) I can't believe I just went and spent that much money in one go! Whew... It is a really nice table though and I am getting very excited to move into my new flat and get it delivered. I am getting very excited to move into my new flat full stop! hehe I still haven't signed my lease though so I will feel a lot better as soon as that happens.

I only managed to go to gym once this weekend. But the fact that I went was good enough for me :) I was on my way home on Saturday evening at about 5pm and I was only due to go out that night at about 7h30pm and normally I would go home and veg in front of the TV or with a book and be totaly lazy! But I got home and suddenly had oodles of energy and I went to gym for an hour instead :) Oooh it felt so good. Now, I just have to get back into it properly this week!

I hope you are all having a good Monday.

   I am soooo happy today! I decided that I needed a weigh-in this morning, I am so glad I did that. I have lost another 0.5kg!!!!! yippeeee I still can't believe that I have just been on holiday, hardly watched what I put in my mouth and still managed to lose!!! I can't wait till I break the 88kg mark! I have been above there for way too long now!!!

I was driving to work this morning and my car decided to go crazy on me. Every time I stopped at a traffic light, or stop street, it would rev out of control and I had to switch it off and start it up again. Then, when I thought that nothing more could happen with it... hot air started bellowing out of the vents :( sniff... I just paid an absolute fortune to have it fixed up and tuned... So I have just called the mechanic and told him that he has to come and fetch it from my work today and get it sorted!!! grrrrrrrr

Last night I went to my first pottery class! I LOVE it!!!!! Who needs therapy when you get a great big chunk of clay to beat up! Wow, what a feeling! And the best thing is that I get to go home with a (hopefully) really nice pot or something at the end of it. We don't use a wheel but basically make everything by hand from scratch. I can't wait till next Thursday now.

I am SO glad it is almost weekend. One more day to get through at work and then I can finally relax and get my life a bit more sorted. Coming back from an amazing two week overseas holiday and having to face a whole lot of evil work is not easy.

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend :)

Here are a few holiday snaps from my trip to Aus and my little angel Aaron.

This is of me, my sister, nephew and brother on a ferry in Sydney Harbour


This is us almost being eaten by a very hungry giraffe at Taronga Zoo

I'm back to eating very well today :)
I didn't make it to gym though. I think I overdid it yesterday and I need to let my body recover from jet lag and flu before I will go again.

Other then that... no news. But I hope you enjoy the pictures instead :)

I can't believe i'm actually back already... I had the most amazing holiday ever, but it was also the most intense, jam packed trip too. I need a holiday now ;)

I'm also in total shock!!!! I really haven't been watching my food intake for the past two weeks and I have been slacking off a lot and eating ice cream and too much evil yummy stuff BUT I stepped onto the scale this morning and i've lost 0.2kg!!!!!!!! Yes, I know it isn't much at all BUT I honestly thought that I was going to have gained at least a kilo or three!!! *grin*

I miss my sister and my nephew so much already :( I know that I will be seeing them again in April, but my nephew Aaron is growing and changing so much at the moment and it kills me to miss it all. I am very lucky that my sister is increddibly good at updating her website and she regularly adds photos and video but it isn't the same as actually being there to help her and to hold him.

But enough with the sad, depressed me... I have major jeg lag at the moment and I woke up at about 3am this morning.. I lay in bed for a while trying to fall asleep but it just wouldn't happen. SO instead, I went to gym! Yip, gym... one day back in the country and i'm back into it. I'm so good!!! (if i do say so myself). I am so lucky that I go to a 24 hour gym hehe. I only did 20 minutes on the bike, but I have a yucky chest at the moment and I don't want to kill myself just yet ;)

I am so happy to be back in the blogging world. I've missed you guys a lot!

Sorry I didn't get to meet up with any of you Aussies, but it really was a jam packed trip and I barely had time to think ;)

Oooh, I must tell you, I had the most awesome flight back home!!! I had a row of 4 seats all to myself!!!!!!! I don't even think that being upgraded to business class could have been better then that!

So, back to work now... Cya soon.

Heloooo ye all!

Sorry for my lack of entries, but I have been so busy since arriving in Aus and to tell you the truth, I really haven't been interrested in touching the computer at all :) But today I have some spare time and I have a LOT of photo's to upload and sort through so I at least I finally get a chance to update my blog.

I have really been having the most increddible time here. I am in love! Thats the only way to describe how I feel right now. I think I must have the most beautiful nephew on the planet :) He even started smiling (kind of) this week so its an added bonus.

Here is a photo of me and Aaron, taken today at North Rocks Market.

Beautiful huh!!! :)

I have been doing lots of walking and swimming etc with my sister.. but don't ask me to tell you about the eating.... I haven't been good ;) BUT I'm only here for two weeks and life is too short to worry about every bite you have on holiday!!! hehe

This is just a brief entry to let you know that I will be back soon and haven't forgotten about you all.
