Dial 6 for Room Service

So I made it through the first day and although I had good intentions of relaxing from 3:30ish, I only finished at 18:30! And we have a networking Cocktail function from 19:00.... So I made my way to the networking session and decided that I'm really not up to it and I made a run …

I felt like the Queen Mother…..

OMG!!!!!! I have arrived to a rather glum overcast Cape Town but at least it's not freezing and or raining.... My Airport transfer was late, and this after I waited 15 minutes for my bag to arrive... handluggage is a max of 8kg's and mine was 10kgs???? Nevertheless, at least I got bumped to Business …

Leaving on a JetPlane to go smell a sea breeze

TOmorrow morning, I'll be leaving on a jet plane to Cape Town. It is work related but only until Friday! We have such a hectic schedule but come Friday afternoon, it's all pleasure no business.

I went all Martha on myself!

I read this post about Doing it all by Raising Men and it got me thinking about how I think pretend to be superwoman. And whilst superwoman is flying high suddenly she gets hit by some turbulence and crash lands. But she gracefully gets up, dusts herself and takes to the sky again. This process is …

Please can I see yours?

Over the weekend the Spirited family went to the Mall for some shopping/gaming/chiling....oh and eating out of course. Well, let's just say that it was a bit touch and go for a while at Ocean Basket. Firstly, our waiter did not really understand us clearly. Seemed that he was battling to converse in English. Secondly, …

We live here!

Well After reading a post from the Colouredfulwife, I was reminded that we create our own happiness. This was my comment to her post: I too ration myself. I blog and believe me what I blog about …

Some more Awards? Whoop Whoop

I kid you not. I got some more recognition from fellow bloggers. Firstly, let me say that as you may have read Life has been taking it's toll on me lately. Secondly, I really do appreciate the recognition. My nose will grow if I say that I'm not thrilled when I receive an award, even …
