I'm moving on from my title The Princess of Procrastination to my new title of The Diva of Doing !!! LOL!!!!
(the crown courtesy of June !!! she saw it and thought of me ... I mean 'Really'!!! some friend she is !!! ... you can go off people you know ! )
After all I still have not taken my new camera out of its box... Much to Paul's disgust !!!
Well my excuse for that is ... a) part of the gift included a training course on how to use your camera ... and I haven't phoned and booked that yet,
b) I/we have been so busy since Christmas I haven't had the time to play and
c) cos it's always raining these days and I don't want to get my new camera wet ???
Does any of that sound at all like procrastinating ?? I think NOT !
But on a serious note ... we have been busy since Christmas, with D.I.Y and stuff !!! ... and honestly it hasn't stopped raining in the last 2 weeks... well actually I lie there New Years Day was hot and so was the 2nd ... since then !!! you'd swear there's never been rain here before !!! Paul was just working out that in the 5 weeks that he has been here we have only had 5 sunny/hot days without rain ... that is bad !!! Wettest December we've had in years !!!
So ... New Year was a quiet one for us really ... abandoned by friends and family !!! meant there was just the good old faithfuls ... June & Irena, Me, Paul, Kelsey and Granny so we booked a table at a restaurant in Hillcrest ... ate big fat juicy steaks... drank lots of alcohol and then made our way up to June's to see the new year in ... thankfully there were not too many fireworks ... due to the damp weather !!!(so the animals were fine) and in fact everywhere was reasonably quiet ... with very few parties and I think that had something to do with the weather too...
The Bells and Granny stayed at June's and we all woke to a beautiful hot & sunny New Years Day ... which needless to say was spent lazying by the pool and eating tons of yummy food, washed down by glasses of alcohol ... wine & Amarula for me please !!!
By evening we were all looking a bit like lobsters and made our way home to crash into bed exhausted ... and believe it or not but woke to glorious sunshine on Sunday too ... but it was short lived ... we thought maybe seeing the new year in on sunshine would mean so much more for 2011 !!! NOT ...
The 3rd Jan. saw normal folk going back to work !!! *(wishful thinking there... maybe soon)* so it was back to business ... which meant making appointments for school uniforms and stationary shopping ... (Oh and after June heard about Paul's D.I.Y adventures she has put in her request for a fitted bedroom .. honestly ... hence Paul's pre-occupation of wood and design LOL)
And ME what I've been up to since then Uniforms & Stationary ... Tuesday was spent literally going from 1 shop to another trying to bargain hunt and get a huge long list of stuff my 'sun'shine needs to start back at school ... and today his uniform ... T.G Paul earns £'s ... felt a little bit easier to say in sterling LOL ...
Next on my list ... labelling clothes & covering books !!! oooh T.G. I'm a bit of an addict there !!!
Did I mention I have a huge long list of things to do this year ??? and none of the above was on it ... But never fear The Doing Diva is here (ROFLMAO ooops my crowns just slipped again)
Kelsey ... he's broken hearted ... Jessi dumped him after her trip to Mauritius ... but he's working off his pain in his home gym (getting a gorgeous body)... and ooogling the young lady next door ... Libby, who just happens to have eyes for him too ... she invited him over for a swim on NY Day !!! (Oh young Love!!! ;-) and he tells me she too is going to the same High School as him this year !!!
Imagine having such small worries again ???
