Tomorrow is Christmas Eve; oh how time flew by…

Victor and I will be spending Christmas with my side of the family this year. I guess we will be spending next year’s with his family in Welkom. We’ll see.

This Christmas is going to be uncomfortable because Victor and I can’t afford to buy any gifts. I bought a little something for my youngest sisters when I was last at Hillfox; so they’ll obviously be getting something. Victor already got his gifts because he just couldn’t wait till Christmas for them. He got a Magic: The Gathering deck and a few booster packs that I ordered a while back and got them the other day.

My cousin that was studying in the USA and is back in South Africa where she will be continuing her studies. She kindly accepted several items that I purchased at Amazon on my behalf as Amazon doesn’t ship those items to my location… And would give them to me when she came back to South Africa, which she did. I still want to give her a little something when I can as a little “Thank You” gift; even though she insists that I don’t have to.

I took photos of my little Christmas trees the other day and wanted to share them. One tree is in the lounge and one is on top of the cookie tin that is on top of our small refrigerator. My mother gave me the one in the lounge, along with a reindeer plush toy to add to my little Christmas area.

Anyway, I hope that all my website visitors a merry and joyful Christmas this year. May you get some lovely gifts and have a good time!

Life Is Too Short To Be Small

Victor and I just got back home a little while ago from my parents’ house. We were over there with some relatives for dinner, as it was my younger sister’s “Sweet Sixteen”. We had some really good food and of course, my favorite dessert, ice cream! Not to mention having a really good time as a few of my cousins were present. We played Uno, watched a DVD, acted the fool and just had loads of fun.

It’s not often that we see each other, so it was really nice. I just felt really bad about not being able to get my sister a birthday gift. Oh but I did promise her that I would as soon as I can afford to do so. I couldn’t even give her some money that would be inserted a birthday card…

Victor’s parents spent the past weekend over here. It was unexpected as Victor’s father had called Victor on Friday night and told him that he and his mother will be coming through the next morning. Talk about last minute, right? When I found out that his parents were going to be here the next morning I started crying and whining. Simply because it was very short notice and that I didn’t want anyone over because I wasn’t feeling well. I’m such a sissy and am way too emotional at times.

But the weekend went alright despite Victor acting like a spoiled brat with his new hard drive that his father had bought him.

I’m so very tired right now. I got to get to bed before I pass out, face first into my keyboard!
