my weekend

it's been a while since i put some photos up. these are from the weekend when the mum-in-law was here for a passing visit. the good news is that my room is finally clean! did 30 min on the elliptical machine yesterday and had some random person come up to me to check if i was feeling faint. i kid u not! well onward n upward i guess...

where'd february go?

...cos it seems to have passed me by. the mom-in-law will be in town for a flying visit. so need to get my room sorted and i have all of a day to get it done. rammed my foot into a pillar whilst playing catch with the kids yesterday and now my middle toe has turned all purple-y and is so agonisingly painful. that's what happens when you go barefoot while playin. i knew i should've listened to my mommy.

bought a killer evening-ish dress yesterday. for the wedding maybe. it's very much like the dress jLo wore in 'maid in manhattan' but in watermelon pink. only problem is what to do for sleeves, or the lack thereof rather. hoping to find a matching bolero. if not a shawl will have to do.

have started packing. well kinda. only shoes at the moment but i guess that's a good place to start. threw out pairs that were broken, didn't fit, hurt like hell, or had generally seen better days.

i know it's become a running theme of late but seriously there's so much that needs to get done, it's really not fair when days and months go disappearing on us...

just dropping by to let u all know how things've been. work as usual is an all-consuming experience. have been managing to squeeze in the occasional workout. the food is easy on most days but there are those crazy chocolate cravings in between. we might go the DIY route for wedding invites so been busy looking around craft shops trying to get inspired. school's closed starting tomorrow so looking forward to a 5 day break. can u say yipee??
