Being lots-of-things-less...

A blog without pictures is like a day for me without having coffee, lifeless. But I am forced to do pictureless blogging, as my laptop underwent a few minor adjustments and repairs. Got it back this morning, with a new look, new brains, faster hardware...all brand spanking new, and I am sure I'm gonna love it, can not wait to get my fingers all flying across the keyboard.

Speaking of being something-less....for the next couple of weeks I will also be Blackberry-less seeing that my Blackberry is now a Brokenberry....damm thing fell out of my hand and the screen went all "stars and stripes" from black to white...and then...and then there was nothing. But I don't mind going back to basics when it comes to the cell phone technology, yes sure, the Blackberry is so convenient, having everyone available at the touch of a button, but hey, I still have my PC, which is basically the "Ark of Noah" version of the Blackberry. But not having my Blackberry constantly by my side (or in my hand) makes more time for the smaller, more important things (which, by the way, should not have been said out loud...)

We spent last weekend in Centurion with some friends, and what a wonderful time we had, a well deserved refresh and recharge (actually scary to think that we had to leave the "platteland" and visit the city for a recharge!). Z and I attended Monz’s baby shower, where I realized that Z will most probably turn into a shoe-thief as she looked at Marilè’s shoes with those longing-needy eyes, Daddy and H went 3D Smurfing, we braaied, we laughed, we talked (and talked some more, till 2am the next morning), I had coffee with the girls and yes, we managed some shopping as well! Don’t you just love the city-life?

There are days where it truly feels as if this small little town is suffocating us, strangling every last bit of life out of us, sucking us dry and withering our souls. But we are fighting back, with a decent amount of ass-whooping, because we are from the city, and we are not scared of this little town, and because "WE can" (our new motto - Neither I, nor you but WE can)

We have such a busy schedule planned for the following weeks, our first family photo shoot coming up, then we have a kitchen tea and bachelors to attend, then the school Christmas Party, then a wedding. Damm, just diarizing all of this is making me long for a holiday!

This coming week end will be a quiet one for us, just us, the Biekies, some laziness, arts and crafts and maybe some baking, but I know for sure that I will be loving it!
