Chatter...

Just thought I would pop in and let you all know what I've been up to the last few days.

I have been home sick with this horrible cold virus that keeps coming back so have been reading a fair bit. I have only 1 1/2 books to go and I will have finished all the books on the Older Readers list. This will be a first for me - even though it really should be part of my job! LOL...

Also managed to get 4 episode of Stargate Atlantis season 3 watched - such great sci fi...and the lovely gentlemen actors are starting to dress even better....

I went shopping today with some friends - we went to a scrap shop and I didn't buy anything! So, you see, my stash diet is holding. (It helps that I have a couple of vouchers in reserve that I am going to use this week perhaps... :P) I did, however, buy a copy of Love Struck by Melanie La'Brooy - I now have all three of her books and it looks like I will be laughing all the way through this one too.

Just finished watching Ocean's Eleven (the 2001 "remake" of the 1960's vehicle for Frank Sinatra) It's one of those films that I watch every time it comes on television - even if I already own it on DVD! (For the record, I don't own a copy of Ocean's Eleven - hint hint to any family members out there...). I just love that sort of film that keeps you guessing all the way through (well, keeps me guessing, anyway!) And some of the actors in it help out with that too.... I have always said that Sneakers, while an excellent film, is one that my mother would watch even if all the actors stood still for the duration of the movie... :)

Looking forward to an extra day this weekend - it's always nice to have a relaxing day at home.

I have new hair!!!

Well, no, it's the same hair I had before - just cut and coloured. But it looks really good!!!! Well, I like it, and that's all that matters...LOL

A strange event occurred today...
"Let me guess!" I hear you cry. "The sky turned green? You phoned your mother??"
"No, stranger than that" I say.
"You phoned your sister???"
"No, even stranger than that! I walked past a scrap shop, and into Spotlight and didn't buy anything!"

Now that is really wierd. Perhaps I am sickening for something... :P

Have been back at work this week (perhaps that's it LOL) and it just whizzed by. The pace of this first week bodes ill for the rest of the term - it will be Easter before we know it. Apart from swimming and athletics days, the first term isn't too bad - there are several public holidays. And then the promise of chocolate at the end. Hmmmm... The girlie thinks she likes chocolate now - must disabuse her of this notion by Easter if I am to keep my choccie!

Haven't done any reading this week - have been too tired by the time all the housework is done so am really looking forward to getting some in tonight. I would try tomorrow afternoon when the girlie is asleep but I think Stargate may take preference then... LOL

Well, I'd better hop to it if I am to read. Goodnight All!
