I know… I haven’t posted in a few days… I promised I’ve thought about it.

Then I get open my blog, and can’t think of the topic that was on my mind the entire day!

I just can’t think straight at the moment.  So here are a couple of random thoughts for you from this week:

• Everytime I go shopping for Xmas pressies for everyone, I end up buying something I really need
• I saw the most divine handbags in Truworths in the Ginger Mary collection, and I actually resisted it! Wonders never cease… but only because I couldn’t decide on which colour to get!
• Bought the most gorgeous olive green dress last week that I’m going to wear tomorrow, with a bead necklace that my aunt, Kathy, made me (my mom came back from CT bearing gifts) and I promise I’ll take a photo of the necklace this week, Tanya, it’s quite something to behold!
• The kids are both sick with acute tonsillitis so we’ve had a wonderful weekend. In fact, the GP told Lance (he took the boys because I was a a shoot) that Connor needs his tonsils removed because he’s had tonsillitis 5 times this year.  Ho hum… so much for that stupid medical aid letter a few weeks ago advising me to reduce my cover!
• The house is driving me nuts, something breaks every week!
• This coming week is going to be very emotional for me… visiting 2 childrens homes and 1 squatter camp school and taking photos at all 3.
• My shootsac is on it’s way to me!! It’s arrived at my cousin’s house in the US, and she’s bringing it to SA when she comes to visit family for Xmas… then it’s just to somehow get it to JHB from CT!
• I still haven’t made a call about buying the lens though (the Canon 70-200mm f2.8)… it’s SO much money… but I do need it for the weddings next year.  It will get here the same way, so I’d better make that call in the next day or so!
• I missed a shoot at an airbase yesterday because I stupidly got my dates mixed up! I could shoot myself actually!! But apparently they’re going to organise another one there, because there was too much to take in for one session.
• We still haven’t got a dog, we’re lazy that way
• The Christmas tree is up… but Father Christmas didn’t listen to the angel and take the letter out of the fireplace last night… Ooops… so Bradley was a little upset this morning.
• My word, you should see their wishlists though… and that reminds me, I need to do a wishlist of my own.

PS!  Does anyone know of anyone who knows how to use a sewing machine and overlocker and would be willing to teach the carers at a childrens home in Kelvin Johannesburg how to use the machines they got given?  Please let me know using comments or via Twitter or Facebook!
