Things u need to know about my 2005, smart answers and its nearly Christmas day!!!

Hello all,

On Wednesday they extended my contract for a while…so that’s the beginning of 2006 sorted out. Thank the Lord! Still unpacking and sorting things out…wow moving to a new place is a lot of work.
On Friday I went horse riding since it was a public holiday. I went for an out ride and also trotted around a bit, it was loads of fine but still nerve racking at times. We watched “Friday night lights” with Jay Hernandez and Billy Bob Thornton.
It was a American Football story, very good about hope and determination. Saturday watched “Crossroads” with Britney Spears. On Sunday just went shopping and watched “Face Off” with Nicholas Cage & John Travolta. Action movies which keep you in suspense, very intense.
Monday had Nandos, yum. Then went shopping with my parents to go and try find a car radio. Last night my aunt and uncle came to our house to sort out our amplifier for our Hifi. Can you believe we are 4 days away from Christmas…can anyone tell me how time moves so fast. Before we know it will be 2006.

In case I don’t write again b4 Christmas Day and New Year. May it be a special time and may you be extremely blessed during this new year. May you get everything you wish for.
I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!
Remember to have a good day and 2 behave yourselves.

Smart Answer: joke

A very distinguished lady was on a plane arriving from Switzerland. She found herself seated next to a nice priest whom she asked: "Excuse me Father, could I ask a favor?""Of course my child. What can I do for you?"

Here is the problem, I bought myself a new sophisticated vibrating hair remover for which I paid anenormous sum of money. I have really gone over the declaration limits and I am worried that they will confiscate it at customs. Do you think you could hide it under your cassock?"
"Of course I could, my child, but you must realize that I can not lie.""You have such an honest face Father, I am sure they will not ask you any questions", and she gave him the 'hair remover'.
The aircraft arrived at its destination. When the priest presented himself to customs he was asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?""From the top of my head to my sash, I have nothing to declare, my son",he replied.
Finding this reply strange, the customs officer asked, "And from the sash down, what do you have?"The priest replied, "I have there a marvelous little instrument destined for use by women, but which has never been used."
Breaking out in laughter, the customs officer said, "Go ahead Father.Next!"

Swallows, Lightning and still unpacking :P

Hi all,

Well as you all know I have been unpacking to move into the new building in Westville (SA). Yesterday afternoon I was on the field walking the dogs and it was like so strange to see all the swallows you know flying about before the rain or they were after the migges (tiny flies) who knows…but it was weird they way that they seemed so graceful and don’t bump into each other.

There were 100’s of them and they all seemed to have an idea of where the others were all going. It seemed to me like they all had flight plans of all the other birds with them it was to weird. I could of watched them for hours!
We had a bit of rain last night and it is a bit overcast this morning. The lightening was kind of hectic last night but beautiful you know the way it lights up the sky in certain places.
Since Friday is the public holiday (Day of Reconciliation) I will be going horse riding then instead of Saturday.
Saturday I am going to be hectic buzy again. My sister’s friend is coming to spend the day with us and well all want to go and see that movie called “Undiscovered”.
My work closes on the 23rd of December until the 4th January 2006. I will be going to White River on the 27th December to go see God’s Window, Merry Pebbles and all those places in the Eastern Transvaal (SA).

I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!

P.S What I learned in 2005......
I learned that I can LOVE...
I learned that it's okay to MEsS UP.
...And it's okay to ask for HELP!!!..
And it's okay to feel like crap...
I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day........
I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have and the things that you look for are right in front of you.
I learned that the greatest thing about the working world is it isn't about the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the Hookups ...It's the *FrIeNdShIpS*
I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about...
I learned that TIME and LOVE can heal all things...
I learned that just when you think it can't get worse - it does! ....but with the love and support of friends - you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD about L O S I N G touch and about those that you've lost!They too, are feeling the same way...
.I learned that letters from friends are the most important things.And that sending cards or e-mails to yourfriends makes you feel better!
But, basically, I just learned that my friends....... Both old and new..... are very important to me AND.......Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.....

Packing and unpacking :P

Hi all,

Sorry haven’t been writing in a while but have been packing and moving equipment, files and books etc. to our new building, so now that I am connected to the server I thought that I should update you all. Thursday and Friday was hectic with packing the
stuff and helping with the move. Saturday learnt to trot on a horse kinda freaked me out at first.
Next week I hear I will be learning how to ride a horse bareback to learn balance and not to depend on
the saddle I would suppose. Went to do my hair which looks hectically different (it is black now) then got ready for a braai which was great! Watched “The Signs” with Mel Gibson and finished reading “The Missing” by Thomas Eidson very good book and I intend on watching the movie as well with Tommy lee Jones and Cate Blanchett.
Sunday I just relaxed and read some more. Watched “GI Jane”(Demi Moore & Viggo Mortenson) & “
Inferno” with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Monday I started unpacking everything and started to try get things into some kind of order still hectic here though. Well that leaves me with today which I will be continuing to unpack and sort out things. The 16th will be a public holiday so it will be a
long weekend. Yeh!!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend….
I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!

Monday ---already... time moves sooooo fast!!

Hey,
On Friday I was very buzy packing boxes for our move to new offices. The weather was so hot as well which caused me to get quite dizzy and nauseous.
Saturday I went for a horse riding lesson (my first) it was pretty cool and the instructor had me doing all these weird and wonderful things for trying to get me balancing correctly. Even though my lesson was at 9am I got hectically burnt which is cool coz now I am a bit brown.
Sunday I did more Christmas shopping and put the Christmas tree up as well as putting Christmas décor around the house…it was loads of fun.
Can you actually believe that time is moving so fast soon it will be 2006 and a whole year will be gone. Already it is Monday, 11am would u believe the day is almost gone. Can’t wait for the 16th of December which is a public holiday so we all can have a long weekend.
Hope you all had a cool weekend!!!!
I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!

2 Sisters: Joke
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble.In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving to check out a good prospect, the brunette tells her sister, "Now, when I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after meand haul it home."

The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it.After paying him the $599 asking price, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.
"The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette has only $1 left, meaning she'll only be able to send her sister a one-word message.
After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word...'comfortable'."The telegraph operator shakes his head.
"How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable'?
"The brunette explains, "My sister's a blonde. The word's big. She'll read it slowly...out loud... ("com-for-da-bul")."

What a woman should have and my news...

Hello all,

Wow I have been buzy since I last wrote. Horse riding Saturday (which was cool), Sunday was the Idols final (SA which Karin won), Monday I went and did shopping then went
to the library.
Tuesday did more Christmas shopping, went to Office Christmas Lunch, had tea with a friend, more shopping,
had supper then watched “Flight plan” with Jodie Foster and Sean Bean and then went out for coffee. Since I was on leave on Monday and Tuesday I had stacks of catching up 2 on Wednesday….

Wednesday was at SunCoast Casino and no I wasn’t gambling. Just went out for supper, a walk, then watched the competition show.
A woman won a Audi TT
and there were also 2 tickets for the Rhapsody up for grabs, it was a very exciting night.
Only thing was that when I wanted to leave I couldn’t find my car because I forgot where I parked it. How embarrassing!


Well today is Thursday and when I looked outside when I woke up it looked as if it had been raining, drizzling now too. I am buzy but what’s so unusual about that. Did you know that in SA you can get 200 Sms’s for R44 Contract or not, how cheap is that. Well you work it out say 1 Sms is 75c multiply by 200!!

Hope you all had a good weekend! Can you believe that it is nearly the end of the week already. Weekend is just around the corner, yeh!!!
I’ll Write again soon….I promise
