I give up ....

even trying to keep up ...

So no more excuses I'll just do brief run down of the last 1o days:

** Took my old car ... the Sante Fe to have the air con replaced (AGAIN)... the one that was already replaced in February this year ... the same one that seized on me again 6 weeks ago !!! Anyway that's been done and although they replaced the compressor no-charge under warranty it still cost Paul a 'BUNDLE' for them to fix the other part that caused the first part to cause the compressor to seize in the 1st place .... are you seeing the picture yet ???

** Spent a morning with Juno at T-Zone ... her new venture ... she is doing fantastically well ... she had a mums pamper morning ... and well I just had to go ... we're talking about starting either a card making group or a scrapbooking group .. to hold regular classes at her place ... she's got the space and well .... I've got the time LOL

** Been doing my Christmas Shopping all year round, but had to spend a morning with a lady who is helping me with some of my pressies but of course I can't say too much as I don't want to spoil the surprise ...

**Last weekend was Manic ... did a Wedding Photo shoot ... People I've now decided it's not the taking of the photos that's the issue ... it's the hours needed to edit, sort, tweak etc... all week I've been at it and still nowhere near being ready to hand over the disk ... mind you the fact I did a Family Photo shoot on Sunday didn't help ... so for the past week I feel like all I've done is look at pics on the computer ... thankfully the bride & groom are away on their honeymoon so they not in a huge rush ... but the P'of P better get her ass in to gear cos I'm sure they are gonna want their pics soon ... like next week LOL

I know I hear some of you saying .. "well what else do you have to do all day?" ... but I also find that it is better to edit and tweak pics on an evening cos the sunlight (Hahahaha not that we've had much of that) can make the pics look different !!! Oh bull ... I'm just making excuses again !!!
Always have to leave everything to the last minute ... as usual ...

Let me give you an example ... Monday had every intention of working thru the photos ... it was a nice sunny day ... made me a cuppa, washed the pots, put some washing in, then decided to feed the birds, ended up pulling out a few weeds as I was already outside, hung the washing up, made another cuppa, then switched on the computer ... downloaded 166 e-mails... went thru them ... ended up on Facebook ... yada yada yada for half an hour ... had a customer e-mail me about an order she was waiting for ... went into the garage, got out some Christmas papers for her ... half packed her order... found a box with red & green card in ... started playing around with that and the 'IDEA' I had for a mini book ... next minute it's time to go pic up SON-shine ...WTF there goes 6 1/2 hours ... did any of you see anywhere in there 'edited wedding photos' ????

And let me tell you the rest of the week has been just as mad ... Tuesday our temperatures rose to an awesome 38'c ... so of course my excuse is then it's too damned hot to do anything (but I am NOT complaining cos it didn't last very long ... in fact it only lasted a day !!!rest of the week has p'eed with rain, mist, fog, cold ) ... but I also had a call from the Thursday Ladies asking me for some stock so I sorted that out for them and then cos they always have such awesome tea & cakes I volunteered to deliver their stock to them on Thursday ... then one can't go to a craft group and not get caught up in demonstrating something !!! (Aaaaah my creative fix for the week !!!)

** Kelsey is doing PRE-Pre-season fitness every Tuesday and Thursday so I'm running him around like a Taxi Service in the afternoons and then he starts year end exams next week ... so we have a massive study schedule !!! I feel like I'm going through school all over again aaaarrrgh ...

And so endeth my ramblings ... and do you think I have edited any photos yet .... NO ... what the heck ... what are weekends for ?

OH this : SON-shine is off playing Action Cricket tomorrow ... I have a shopping date with June and I have promised her we will be finished early-ish (NOT hahaha) so I guess I will just have to spend Sunday at my computer .... just in time for meeting the bride & groom next week hahahahaha !!!!! (an almost a panicked laugh there)
