It's my special day today!

Yes,it's my birthday, so CoolDude decided he would make me scrambled egg on toast for breakfast. It was delicious.
Hubby is still in USA, and with no family around, I had wondered what sort of day I was going to have! But so far it's been pretty darn fine!
After breakfast I let the boys have their computer time and settled Tanzi in front of my notebook with yet another Barbie movie.
I had plans you see................. and they were to watch "Amazing Grace". My-o-my......I went through the full range of emotions from deep sorrow at how wicked the heart of man can be, to unbelievable joy of seeing one man's beliefs impact the people around him! It is a beautiful story...... you must see it!
So now I'm sitting chatting to you...... but I'm about to hop into the shower, do my hair and then mozee on over(South African slang for "go") to a friends house for lunch and some girly chit chat! (Her hubby's in Mauritius!)

So, let me be off

I'm on my ownsome!

I am without MrGee, and it feels strange. Of course MrGee has been away before, but he has never been 13 000kms(8 000miles) away ! He flew to New York and then took a train to a town in Connecticut. There's more...... he will be gone for 10 nights! Oh my greatness! The longest he has been away from me is 2 nights! Buzzing around in my head is that song by Fergie "Big girls dont cry."

Do you think I'm gonna make it ?..... he only left yesterday afternoon!

What made it even more emotional is that MrGee organised a beautiful bouquet of red roses to be delivered this morning. He instructed the boys to play my favourite romantic song by Savage Garden called "I knew I loved you before I met you."

Then the boys called me to come and have a look!

I was overwhelmed by such an awesome surprise of love! Thank you babes...... I know you're reading this....... cause you're missing us just as much as we are missing you............... Hey?

Kisses for MrGee
Hugs for the rest of you!

Wedding Memories!

Today I created an album on my FaceBook account. I uploaded some wedding pics from the year 1994! Yes-sirree-bob...... That beautiful day when MrGee and I exchanged our wedding vows! I wanted to cry when I saw how thin and wrinkle free I was!

I thought I'd share them with you...............................SOOOOO here's proof that I was once thin!!!!

















...................... And that MrGee had a head full of hair! teehee
It is SO therapeutic to revisit good times in ones life!

Just for fun!

Oh my.... I'm not American but I think us SOuth Africans call a College...... a Technikon. At our Technikons you don't get a degree, you get a diploma.

Get a Cash Advance

mmmmmmm...... well this sounds right, I always did battle a little with languages! If I could have done Maths all day long, school would have been a much happier place!

Gold Reef City Fun!

Hubby arrived home from work on Saturday afternoon, and decided to take us away for the night! He let me decide where we should go.

I knew exactly where we would all have a blast! Gold Reef City, an historical amusement/theme park in the heart of Johannesburg.

The boys were totally impressed.... they got there own room and watched cartoons till 11pm and ordered room service!

Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade.European settlement happened in the 1880s, when gold was discovered in the region, triggering a gold rush. So all around Johannesburg you see these huge mine dumps. They are yellow-ish in colour, because they have small traces of gold in the sand. Due to better methods of mining, these mounds are now being re-sifted.

Gold Reef City is a replica of a Johannesburg Gold mining town from the 1880's. It is so pretty! The buildings reflect Late Victorian Architecture, and look very authentic.

I found the scenery very romantic. In fact as we dined, a horse and cart drove past carrying newly weds!

The boys enjoyed the rides! WizzKid is definitely NOT a lover of heights and speed, BUT, he forced himself to go on this ride.....

You did well my son!

CoolDude is a maniac when it comes to rides! He would have gone on everything! Unfortunately they had height restrictions!But he did go on a VERY wild rollercoaster ride with Dad.......

TanziPanzi and I made candles............................

and looked at all the quaint little shops. We kept our feet firmly on the ground, and didn't attempt any of the rides!

We're such ninnys!

Birthday celebrations!

MrGee(previously known as Hubby!) turned 39 today!
I have known this special man since I was 16. I remember him hitting on me way back then, even though I was in another relationship! So glad he never gave up on me!
After a few terribly sad years in the clubbing/pubbing scene, this man took me too church and helped me get my life back on track. He was such a good influence in my life.
We survived a baby in the first year of marriage!
We left family, and moved to another part of the country.
We have moved 9 times in 13 years of marriage!
We have recovered from a bankruptcy(2001)together.

MrGee I admire your tenacity, ambition, strength and positive attitude! You balance me beautifully!

We celebrated MrGee's special day last night!

CoolDude made the card!

WizzKid did the Braaing!

I wrapped the pressies. WizzKid ate the display!

TanziPanzi told Daddy what was inside the wrappings!

The boys decorated the table in red and blue because MrGee is leaving(in 7 days) for his first trip to the USA.

Happy Birthday MrGee/Daddy-O!

We love you so much!

You will relate!

Where there's a will there's a way!

WizzKid is desperate for a PS3. In S.Africa it costs about R6000-00($1000+).
Hubby told WizzKid he could get one if he saved up the money! I thought WizzKid would forget about the PS3 when he heard this, but it made him even more determined to get one!

WizzKid hatched a plan......... he would auction his PS2 console and many of his PS2 games on a local website called Bid or Buy. Being the conservative sales person, I was worried he might not get any bids and be filled with disapointment. Well, within a week he had sold R2400-00($400+) at auction! The next week he sold 4 second hand computers to our Gardener's son who is setting up a small computer school. He made R1600($270+).
This guys on a mission!......

CoolDude climbed on the bandwagon and suggested selling the oddest of items! I got the feeling he might even consider auctioning me off!
He managed to sell quite a few PSP and PS2 games, and yesterday he was able to buy himself the Samsung E250 phone. He was thrilled!

And TanziPanzi didn't have to sell anything to get anything.... she whispered sweetly into Daddy's ear "I'd love a Cinderella Barbie." and her wish was granted! Easy as that.

Love Fifi
