The Garage Sale went well.
Better than I expected considering it was so last-minute and not well advertised.
I'm going to be doing this again soon.
In fact we're thinking of having a general garage sale as well before we move.
Get rid of some clothes, house stuff, and maybe some furniture we'll be replacing.

One of my South African friends made me laugh when she said that the garage sale concept sounds amazing, but not feasible in S.A where a person would need to hire out an entire security company if they were planning on having one.

Unfortunately I think she may be right.

Scrapbooking Garage Sale

I'm down-sizing my scrappy stuff.
45 boxes is waaaaay more than this girl needs.
So things have to go.
Kinda sad though. Seeing my stuff go off to new homes.

After much tampering and tinkering trying to get a k-e-w-l banner like the other gals, I have resigned myself to the fact that I am challenged.
Very challenged.
In a P.C way of course.
That's "personal computer"
Not "politically correct"
'cause I'm so not
Poltically correct, that is.

Thank you for bearing with me while I was attempting to be all tech-savvy-genius-nerd like.

Hot...Hot...Hot!

Summertime in Canada is crazy hot.
Which is hard for non-Canadians to believe.
But it's hot.
Really hot.

It's been hanging around the 30 degrees celcius mark here for the entire week.
And we have no air-conditioning.
Boo-Hoo.

Trying to be selective

in everything I do these days.
Time is so very precious.
And it flies by so fast.

I want to make sure the time I spend with the kids are quality moments.
I want to make sure my "me time" is quality time.

So, I am watching what I do and how I do it.
I'm being super selective about what I read.
Reading stuff I really love.
Sounds silly i know, 'cause who reads stuff they hate...but you know what I mean.
So, I've been sticking my nose in some awsome novels.

I'm reading this at the moment and it rocks.


I havn't been a big television fan for a while now, but there are a few days I feel like vegging in front of the tube.
When I do that I make sure I'm watching something I've selected in advance.
Sounds anal I know...but that's me.

I have this in the DVD player, ready to go any day now:
Caramel

Trying to be selective.
That's all.

A case of...

looking better than they tasted.

Our trip to Vancouver was sick!

Sick = fabu-tastic!

First off, we rented a condo in a high rise, overlooking the water in the heart of the city.
POW!
What a view every morning and every night.



It reminded us so much of Durban.
Without the crime, of course.
I'd love to live there.
Maybe I will :)
