Back to Work 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I have a photography gig that was booked for tomorrow - feels great to be getting out there again - you know my ‘day’ job ha ha. Only I had to postpone it till next Tuesday because it’s outdoors and there is nothing but RAIN forcast for the rest of this week. So at least [...]
Online Degrees, What Are Your Thoughts? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is not a sponsored post by the way.
I am constantly looking at online degree courses. I never finished my boring *as* degree when I was an athlete at university all those years ago, a personal meltdown and several other issues meant that I ended up ‘dropping out’ and being ‘written off’ by my parents [...]

People To Rescue…Asses To Kick 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Excuse me folks, I don’t have long to sit around and chat to you. Captain Maverick here, call-sign “Skippy”.
I have very important missions to complete today.
They include potty training, playing with my little dude bro, call-sign “Flipper”, and looking incredibly cute doing whatever the heck I’m doing at any given moment.
But that’s strictly on a [...]

Oklahoma Court Records 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Oklahoma CourtRecords
is a website that offers you an opportunity to access any court record, or court documents. This would be a really handy service in this country too, where such documents are routinely lost, miss filed or filed in some paper storage area where you’re likely to be barred from going. I think [...]

This is SO Hilarious! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I know, as a non-yank, I shouldn’t be getting involved in politics, but it’s SO much more interesting than local politics. Yeah, yeah, I know that the ANC are all in a bit of a tizz at the moment, but seriously, American politics is just more fun to watch.
Speaking of watching…go and check out Steppingonlego’s [...]
I’m Going to Go There. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Okay, I want to know from all of you…Yanks and non-Yanks alike…who would you vote for?
Republican or Democrat…and why….?
Yes, I just went there.

Creepy Crawlies 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Back in 1998 I traveled with some friends after the first time I went to Summer Camp as a counselor, mainly around NYC and PA, Delaware, Maryland and DC. We got a real kick out of visiting all the cool monuments in DC (oh to have had a DSLR back then!). Of course we did [...]
Interesting Update Coming Soon 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Sorry for the quick filler, sponsored post coming up.
Hubby and Skippy recently went to an airshow here locally and I want to post a few pictures of that. FIL got a really nice one of Skippy sitting the cockpit of a military helicopter, holding the ’stick’ or whatever it’s called, he’s got this real ‘Top [...]

Fun Time-Wasting Day Dreams… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am absolutely brilliant at wasting time. My own time that is.
Perhaps it’s something to do with being an Aquarian. We’re prone to living inside our own heads, a lot of the time. Now while that might sound like mental illness to some, as an Aquarian, we know it’s just because we like to have [...]

Deciding to Emigrate is Actually a Lot of Fun! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 First of all, I just want to say this…
DAMN YOU BANDWIDTH CAP ! ! !
Yes, the bad news is that I reached my bandwidth cap yesterday, so ther-plunk, I was unceremoniously ripped from my umbilical to the outside world. So now I’m sitting at a local watering hole* enjoying free bandwidth, and organising to add [...]

I have a Weakness for Cool Fun Office Objects 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Nay, make that ‘obsession’. I absolutely adore cool, funky, functional things that belong either in a home office, or normal work office. It all started a few years ago, when a colleague of mine (when I was in the corporate travel industry) went on extended leave for 3 months.
Now while that was stressful, as I [...]
Best Web Hosting List Out There! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Sorry for the unplanned hiatus folks, I’ve had my head buried a bit like an Ostrich.
You see I’ve been digging around looking for new hosting options for my 4 (cough…eh hem) yes that’s FOUR websites. Did you know there’s like a gazillion million bajillion options out there? Yeah like I have the bandwidth time to [...]

Too Tired… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I’m so tired today.
Combination of working my ass off solidly for the last 4 days, having to do everything for both kids 24/7. That hospital visit, and a whole bunch of other stress that I don’t have the energy to even talk about.
I’m sure I’ll be all perky and what not tomorrow again
Here’s [...]
Baby Car Seats 0000-00-00 00:00:00 One of things, for which I was extremely grateful this morning, whilst driving at illegal breakneck speeds to get my eldest son to the hospital, was his car seat. He’s just moved into a booster seat, and is very proud of his big boy car seat, now that he can use a real seat belt!

So What Were You Doing at 5am This Morning? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I was belting down a dark highway, with Skippy in tow, off to the hospital.
Croup
We count ourselves lucky that it’s only his second attack in the last 12 months. The 12 months before that, he had at least 2-3 attacks a month. I put it down to living so close to the Sea at the [...]

On Strike 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Parts of my body have gone on strike.
It’s nothing serious, it’s just that my eyeballs are threatening to shut down early tonight, and my arms are ready to take Vegas vacations without the rest of me, because of what I’ve been subjecting them to.
Now before you think I’ve gone and lost my mind and have [...]
The Real Drovers Run is On My Mind 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Do you remember me telling you about The Property Called Drovers Run?
Anyhoo, as you know, and as I said in that earlier post, the property was for sale awhile back, now that the TV show is no longer being filmed there. Boo Hoo Sniff!! Now all I’ve been able to glean is that it was [...]
Wordpress Plugins 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I’ve used Blogger. I’ve used Vox. I’ve used Blogdrive. I’ve used ModBlog.
I have to say it, nothing, nothing, nothing beats Wordpress
, when it’s hosted on your own domain.
The reason why I add ‘hosted on your own domain’ is because while having a wordpress blog hosted by wordpress is already pretty cool, you don’t get the [...]

Golf Widows and Casino Girls! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is one for the boys! My hubby used to go on an annual golf trip with about 20 friends.
They used to spare no expense, and visit some of South Africa’s premier golf resorts. They always talked about doing a ‘big one’ and travelling overseas for a trip. I wonder if they ever considered Vegas? [...]

Whirlwind Week 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This week has been kind of crazy. I’ve been finalizing and packaging the orders from that nursery school shoot I did a while back, and been trying to find time/babysitters to watch the kids while I rush off and visit my poor old dad in hospital. He’s not well. He’s tired, old, and giving up. [...]
Dream Destinations 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I’m totally going to ask you guys the same thing Pho For Five asked her readers today. Why? Because it’s a damn good question, and frankly, I’d love to hear your answers!
Laurie told her readers about her dream trip that she’d had planned out in her mind before she suddenly wound up with 3 kids [...]

Rose-Tinted Glasses 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yesterday, I posted over at Macnessa about frugality and saving money by shopping around for insurance etc.
With the current cost of living, what are you guys doing out there to save some bucks? As you know I’m already flogging a bunch of stuff that we don’t need anymore, but at this stage I think I’m [...]

Housekeeping! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Here’s a post for you local Capetonians. All of you local, non-psycho, totally normal, friendly folk like me.
I’m cleaning out! I’m getting rid of STUFF! I’m flogging unwanted items!! I’m too afraid to advertise in classifieds and have wierdos at the door! Ha ha lol.
So I thought I’d give all you normal Capetonian readers [...]
Looking on the Bright Side 0000-00-00 00:00:00 In the last week, I’ve had:
1 sick baby with an ear and throat infection
1 sick child with tonsilitus
1 father in hospital with “not sure yet, still testing” but he’s 80 and probably won’t make it to Christmas.
1 husband who chose to ‘have a go’ at me this morning because of the untidy kitchen (yeah *now* [...]

TGIF tomorrow! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Because on Saturday…it’s the 1st of November, and that means my internet connection is on again.
They still have not sorted out our billing issue.
I actually don’t even want to go there anymore, it just makes me SO MAD!!!
On a happy, shopping note, I just bought the hubby’s Xmas gift, using some of my hard earned [...]

I Curse Thee Mweb 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yeah, I’m still flaming them, because I can, and because they still suck.
Again…I’m borrowing (and dangling a my participles simultaneously) my mothers modem. The poor gal doesn’t use up *her* bandwidth, something about not finding the internet interesting, or some such drivel. Anyhoo, I’m just grateful for the ‘up’ time when I get to use [...]
It All Feels So Good 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yes it’s me again, feeling really good. I was having a weird start to my day, and things got really stressful round the time I picked Skippy up from school, what with tantrums being thrown and all. Just as I got home and burst into tears over the steering wheel, hubby called, and invited [...]

A Little Clarity 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yeah I kind of sprung that whole ‘new country’ thing on some of you eh? Lol
Here’s some clarification.
We have not been turned down by Aussie Emigration in anyway - we just reached a point, after sending a couple of CV’s where we kind of looked at each other and sort of said, “hey, maybe [...]

Funny Culturalisms 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Even though many of us all come from predominantly English speaking countries doesn’t the difference in vernacular really sound funny sometimes?
Just earlier I was talking about ‘taps’ which Americans call bathroom faucets. How about things like ’sidewalk’ which we call a pavement. A special favourite of mine, which always stumps most internationals I meet, which [. Read more:Funny
