A day without perfume is like a day without sunshine.



Gawd, I love perfumes...all scents, all tones, all makes (except the cheap ones...hee-hee).
I've been a perfume wearer from back in the day when I was in school. And in those days, we were not allowed to wear perfume to school. But I would risk whatever wrath was visited upon me by the powers that be, and sneak a small squirt on my pulse points.

See the picture up on top?
The Jean Paul Gaultier is my second bottle, given to me by my Mum, at her last visit here.
The Christian Dior "Dune" is like my millionth bottle. I've been wearing that from University, and wore it on my wedding day, complete with matching shower gel, body lotion, powder and al the essentials for proper "layering".
That zippy litle purple bottle *swoon* is "Alien" by Thierry Mueglar (he of the "Angel" fame), and it is scrummy!
Hubs bought me that last year...just because (what a guy!).

So, even though these days I smell more like throw-up, and sometimes worse, you'll still be able to catch the faint whiff of some delicious perfume.

What's your favourite scent?
Enable me :)

4 kids are HARD work...H-A-R-D!!!
Someone,who shall remain nameless,(okay,It's Jackie hee-hee) once told me that 4 kids is waaaay easier than 3.
And she was so convincing....
Liar

She owes me a sewing machine...and a Beamer...and a new set of nerves...

Huh?
What is up with these spammers?
Every morning I race to my p.c and double-click on "Outlook Express", waiting for some loving e-mails from family or friends, a few pics of my nieces in South Africa...nice stuff, you know?

But what do I get???
Massive, throbbing rod

Ewwwwww!!!
Dude, that doesn't even sound nice!
Yuck!
Yuck!
Double Yuck!

And even if I was interested in Phentrimine
. Tramadol
. FemaleViagra
. & 400 more meds to choose from
I certainly wouldn't buy them from yuki SCABORA on the internet for peets sake!

Some of you may be painfully aware of the "B" word and how it was recently introduced into my life.
You know..."B-U-D-G-E-T"

Well,to bring everyone up to speed,Hubs suggested I go on a *gag* "budget" regarding my scrappy ways, earlier this year.
Of course I agreed *snigger*...(a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and all that), and went on my evil spending ways, swiftly, albeit surreptiously.

The proverbial fly landed in the proverbial ointment the other day when the doorbell rang while he was home for lunch.
He opened it (but, of course!), and there stood the delivery gal from UPS,her knees buckling from under the weight of my gigantic box.

Hubs was his usual courtious self, plucked the box from her, shut the door and came into the kitchen, where I was now running through a bunch of excuses in my head...

"Angelina Jolie sent me a bulletproof vest to go unearth landmines with her in Iraq"...yeah, that sounds good.
Or, "That must be that new gardening stuff I ordered"...(you see Hubs has a dream/fantasy/wish to see me get my nails filthy and plant something so we can live off the earth and all that...)

Before I could say a word though, he plonked the box down on the counter in front of me.
>"CRAFT SUPPLIES-SCRAPBOOKING"...There it was in big,bold letters, emblazoned across the box.

Hmmmnnnnn.....

"So, how much do you think your scrapbooking stuff is worth?", he asked in a friendly kinda tone (what a guy!).

"Ummm...I dunno" I answered.
(what were you expecting...seriously!)

"Oh, take a wild guess...C'mon...for fun"...he coaxes gently (he's a wily fox that fella of mine)

It actually sounds like fun at this point.Must be his gentle tone and warm brown eyes and ...well, let me move on...

I think for a bit and say it in a way he'd best understand.

"Well, if I die tomorrow and you sell all my scrappy stuff, you can buy yourself two B.M.W's....get both those models you're lusting after".



And that's how he got that concussion when his head hit the floor.
True Story!
