VALENTINE GRATEFULNESS

Valentine day's gift

I really love my husband. He is a keeper. Not only on valentines day but everyday since I met him 14 years ago. Thanks honey.

STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS 2014

State of the Nation Address 2014

Politics drain me, long speeches drive me up the wall. I rather read. I started listening to the president but I couldnt take it anymore. So glad I'm not a member of parliament. Not only for long speeches, but for that red carpet nothingness.
Today the president of South Africa read the State of the Nation Address 2014.

RENOVATE

Renovate magazine

I cant believe how happy seeing this book in my post box is making me. That's what living in a house as old as mine does to one. Today they delivered the February copy. Its only 51 pages filled with building sector contacts in the form of advertisement. I enjoy browsing it these days.

SLAUGHTERING DEBT

Slaughtering Debt

Its so sick I know but I keep telling people about how they should take care of their own money. You'd swear I am government or a parent or people are my responsibility. Fortunately, there are people who like me enough to boost my ego by inviting me to give some chats on this subject. This week I have a class with young couples on finances in their marriages. We started yesterday on "dealing with debt".

Today the debate was on "debt consolidation". I enjoy these classes so much. I like these couples a lot. I hope to be done by Friday.

LUNCH TURNED DINNER

Lunch from batch cooking

Well, yesterday I decided on lean mince and vegies soup for this week work lunch. Then I found myself too busy at work, I couldn't stop working. I ended up with my snack for dinner. Very bad behaviour actually.
Today I took my lunch back home to eat as dinner. Very delicious soup it was.

BRAND NEW WORK CLOSET

New Work Closet

My Sunday afternoon was spent revamping my work closet. I went to Pretoria East Malls including Menlyn. Great time to shop at the clearance sales. I do love shopping but avoid it because I think about the cost too. I spent a small fortune on this but it was worth every cent.

Today I went shopping to revamp my work closet. I managed to stop myself from buying casual clothing. I usually end up with too much casual/ weekend items in my trolley. Today my trolley was filled to the brim with pencil skirts. Feeling too grown up. In search of a red and a navy heel now.

THREE PARKS AND A BIRD SANCTUARY

Three Parks and a Bird Sanctuary

I find I am a primary school learner again. The Geek's homeworks and school projects keep me on my toes. I also learn a lot from all this. I'm very grateful.

In search of a pond with some life (plant and animal species) we visited The Fountains park, Venning Park in Arcadia, Magnolia Dell in Nieuw Mackleneuk and Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary in Groenkloof today. I took about a hundred photos of bird species. I loved every minute of that silence. So gorgeous.
