I chose an animal print necklace in place of the scarf and heels as opposed to flats.

              If I looks as though I'm half asleep in the photo (admittedly sans mascara and lipstick), its simply because I am.  I woke up so tired this morning and truly had a mission getting my a.in.g.  But you have to give both Courteney and I credit for taking the photo while it was in fact drizzling.  We woke to great big grey clouds hanging about and from what the weatherman predicts, we won't be seeing the sun at all today.  If it were just a little cooler I'd call it soup weather.

             We don't have much planned for the weekend and its certainly not looking as thought we'll be spending time outdoors, so I'll need to find some way to keep the troupe busy.  Any parents in the Jo'burg area with ideas of outings for young teens aged 16, 14 and a tween aged 12, I'm looking for inspiration that does not cost an arm and a leg.

Have a great day now and a stunning weekend.

I'm celebrating ... its the last work day of the year for me ... don't be fooled, I'll work much harder at home, but at least I'm the 'boss' there ...lol.

Jodi has not photobombed for a while so it was cute when she joined us this morning ... just getting her to stop scratching was a bit of a mission.  She really smiles at me when she sits in front of me like this.  So cute she is ... but she's getting old now and battling to stand up quickly.  I find it so sad.

Now as its the home stretch, let me finish tidying my desk and office and all the bits I need to get done ... have a super day now.

Schatz was still half asleep and shaky when he tooks my pics this morning, so apologies for the bluriness of the pic.  I am feeling in the holiday/weekend spirit so decided to wear my capris.  I find this top to be happy - the colour and the print just looks happy and I enjoy feeling happy.

Last night was our monthly Sistas Dinner.  With it being December, we gave out Christmas gifts.  I got such gorgeous gifts.  I'm hoping to get photos from my sisters soon to share.

Norma gave us each a little wooden crate filled with yummy goodies like biscuits and sweeties as well as a three piece cake set.  Its quite different and definitely gorgeous.

Noleen gave us each a wall hanging with a poem on it and a gorgeous clock.

Lynn gave us a note book (mine has an image of the Eiffel Tower on it), scarf, sweeties and hand cream.

I gave Noleen and Lynn each a pendant and for Norma I got a bracelet and I added in a little Christmas fruitcake and a minature candycane.  I also brought Christmas Crackers for us to share.  I always enjoy watching the other patrons faces ... as curious as they are about what we're getting up to as curious as I am about them :-).

While I was out to dinner I got a message from home saying that our young cat was missing.  Schatz and the kids searched the closets and he went around the garden with a torch, but she was nowhere to be found.  Luckily this morning the neighbours domestic told our Felicia that they had taken her to the SPCA - she's home safe and sound but she's such a little adventurer we're going to have to keep a close eye on her.  She's also due to be 'fixed', so we'd best get that done soonest ... however cute a little litter of kittens would be, I so don't want to fall in love with even more animals.

I guess as I need now is a Santa bag and I could look like a southern hemisphere Santa helper :0).

Happy day to you
