Shoooweee, what a hectic couple of days…
Regular blogging will commence shortly, in the mean time check out my latest Jozikids article!
When it rains…
Today started of quite well. I woke up on time, got hugs and kisses from Aaron and was out the door without a hitch. Then I got to work…
We have spent many many hours capturing data for a new project, we have had some hiccups but they seemed to be sorted out and we started to capture the financial info for a debit run that needs to be finalised on Thursday (thats tomorrow just so you know). Three days later we come across a small massive glitch in the system, our data has disappeared. We were checking each batch as they were posted to the system and they were fine until this morning when one batch wasnt there, so we went back and spot checked other batches and THEY. WERE. MISSING! They were there yesterday and the day before but now they are gone!
To make matters worse our programmer has no frigging clue why this is happening! She will be back tomorrow and hopefully with a little more work she can figure it out. If she doesnt… well lets not go there…
Then, yesterday I took my sick baba to the doctor again, he thinks Aaron needs to be nebulised and gave me a prescription for him and one for some meds I need. I got home too late to fill it so Paul scanned it and faxed it to Dischem so that I could collect it today.
I called Dischem at 12:15 to confirm that everything was in order and that I could collect at 1pm. I informed them that there were two scripts and that they were for me and for Aaron. The lady on the phone assured me they were ready to be collected. When I got there only my script was filled. They didnt even have Aarons. The same one that was faxed at the same time as mine!
This is not the first time that a faxed script has been lost by them. Thats why I called to check it was ready. I gave the poor pharmacist such a go that half the customers were giggling at us and half were backing away very slowly.
When I got back to work I tried faxing the script again but could not get through to either of the two fax numbers they gave me. So in desperation I sent our office driver to them with the original. I then called to make sure they had it and am now going to collect it all after work.
GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!
On a happier note, I love the Woolies Sale. I got me a lovely white handbag for R112.00 marked down from R250.00 and a JT T-shirt for R37.00 instead of R90.00. WIN!
Are you the mom or the dad?

Here is my second post for Jozikids…
Of Dildos, Vibrators and Strawberry Daiquiris
Tonight was the first ever WIZO AVIV Shaffa event: Lola Montez and Bringing Sexy Back.
It was fantastic. Sharon from Lola Montez was a scream. The daiquiris were delish and the ladies that attended were fabulous.
We learnt about the clitoris, the difference between a dildo and a vibrator, three things that automatically make you feel sexier (high heals, sexy undies and red lipstick) and that the most important factor to being sexy is attitude.
The venue was a bit on the large side but that being the only issue, I can, with the utmost confidence say that the evening was a success.
It was fantastic meeting Angel, I just wish I had more time to sit and chat.
*** thank you Shirl for being the official unofficial photographer!!!
Keep watching this space for details of future events.
Getting excited for Sunday!
Really really excited.
I had a moment last night where panic set in… What if no one turns up, what if the food is bad, what if people hate it and leave early?
I was so upset that I got out of bed and went to Paul for a hug. I sat on his lap and cuddled and told him all my fears. He asked a few key questions and suddenly I realised Im not worried about people coming, we have already sold so many tickets and the food will be great and everyone will have a fantastic time.
The WIZO AVIV Shaffa ladies have worked our butts off to make this a success and I have every confidence that that is exactly what it will be!
Now this morning I am so excited I could burst. This is going to be an amazing event with amazing women.
Seasons
Today I could not stomach the thought of wearing jeans and boots again. I had to wear a skirt and a pair of slip on ballet type shoes, I just had to.
I also caught myself looking at the trees and shrubs on my way to work and trying to see if there were any green shoots yet.
I am beginning to hate winter, I want to be warm, I want the colours of spring.
