| Heeeelloooooooooooo
i really doubt any of the usual readers even read this. occasionally
i'm bored enough at work to drive me to drink, but instead of giving
myself over to the powers of drink and bad men, i will decide to blog
about something.
so .. today i'm REALLY happy. not entirely sure why, as i have a
dreaded dentist appointment at 1:30, and m has his exams next week so
he's stressed out like crazy, but i'm still happy. Yesterday i was
close to tears. i hope i'm not pregnant :P
the happiness might have something to do with the fact that my boss is
off today and will be off on monday too. yaaaaaaay. i can actually get
some work done now (when i stop messing around online, that is).
*yaaaaawn* ok. happy mood over. now i'm just sleepy. at 9am. and a tad cold.

| Happy Spring day. Well.. for some of us, anyway 
Today is an odd day for me. I'm in the same mood as i used to
permanently be in New York. Thinking about everything.. mostly about
mark and i, our life, and where things are going - and the rate i'd
like them to be going. Don't misunderstand me - i'm as happily married
as i've ever been. I'm just super-restless in my job, and i'm starting
to wonder if it's worth studying long-distance next year - if i'll be
able to cope or not. Lets face it, some things you can do long-distance
(Bcom, BA etc) and other thigns are FREAKING difficult to do .. like a
BSc. And guess what it is that i'll be signing up for..? thats right! a
BSc. Ugh. i'm thinking hard about that, tho. Its kinda nice, tho,
because whatever i haven't finished in the next 2 years or so, i'll be
able to (hopefully) study the last year or so fulltime.
But we'll see if we can arrange a way for that to happen. We also want
to have children in 2 years or so.. and i'm trying to think of a way to
make this all happen at once. not easy.
Why is it that i'm inclined to compare myself to other people in a
similar situation as i'm in? when really, there is no comparison
because the people i'm comparing myself to are older/have more working
experience etc etc? I never compare myself to people 'worse off' so to
speak, as i am.. only people that, when compared to, i'd lose against.
i know its a whole 'if you dont realise what you dont have, you'll
always be happy with less than you are capable of' thing - but still.
part of me feels that i'm expecting too muxh of myself, and the other
part feels that i could do way better. I'm not talking financially (tho
i think EVERYONE could use more money..) i'm talking knowledge-wise.
see what i meant when i said i was thining too much about _everything_?
let me stop. maybe i'll carry on later if i'm bored at work.

| I. Am. So. Tired.
been sick this week - flu and stuff. it sucks.. but at least i got 2,5
days off work :) Man.. i'm just not in the mood to do anything. i don't
feel like sorting out other people's crap. i just want to go home and
sleep.
i have exactly 1,25 days of leave due to me. and i've taken a day on
monday cos tuesday is a public holiday. we're going up to m's parents -
dog and all.
oooohh... speaking of which.. we're getting another puppy. he's only
just been born (on monday) so we'll only get him in 2 months time, but
i'm so excited i could pee my pants. he's white witha brindle
patch over his one eye - so we've decided to name him something
pirate-y. i want to call him "arrg" but m's scared that he'll get
confused when we call him then growl at him :P
the reason for the new puppy is that tati is soooooo lonely and bored
during the day, that when we get home at night she's ripped half the
garden apart and harrasses us like crazy. buuuutt... if she had a baby
brother to play with, then there wouldn't be any of that - they'd play
each other broken all day long and be nice and peaceful when we get
home. in theory, anyway..
Need. To. Sleep.

| so long so long...
i was asked at a braai on saturday night, when i'm finally going to put
up pics of the wedding. unfortunately.. i wont be doing that anymore
... but if you REALLY want to see, then mail me and i'll send you a few (yes, that means you girlyg).
as for other things happening... we have a new family member - a boxer
puppy. she's just over 4 months old already, and drives us up the wall.
but we love her to bits and pieces and wouldn't trade her for anything.
she has recently started her puppy training classes, and is (kinda)
getting better behaved.
its mark's birthday on saturday and i hope to hell i have his gift in
time. it's been ordered, but i don't have it yet. Also, i'm looking for
ideas of what else i can get him. *pout* men are sooooooo difficult to
buy for.
i'm craving biltong. my father in law is hunting right now, actually. yay. in a few weeks we'll have some nice dried raw meat.
if i get asked one more time why i'm sitting in the dark (my office
light is off) i'm going to throw something at the person that asks.
oh.. and as you've probably gathered, i'm working again. its soooo much
better than staying home all day. at least now i have an excuse NOT to
clean the house three times a week.
righty. i'm gone. seeya.
