Oh Christmas Tree…

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!

They Won!

The Springboks just won the rugby world cup!

Everyone in our neighborhood are shouting, screaming, whistling and just celebrating the victory. So noisy!

We’ll probably be having some drinks to celebrate ourselves; with or without my cousin who is supposed to be coming over tonight.

I’m so busy with things that I don’t really have time to get online or do anything with my PC. I really need to free up some hard disk space because it’s really slow. Having only just under six gigabytes free is a nightmare, really! Especially when using Photoshop and opening Winamp takes too long for my impatient self…

Nineteen

My birthday cakeIt’s passed midnight; it’s my nineteenth birthday today! Victor brought home a bottle of champagne of which we just had a glass of at midnight to celebrate. He also rented a few DVDs for us to watch…

I baked and decorated my birthday cake earlier but it didn’t turn out as I thought it would have. It is based off of an animated GIF pixel that I had made on my PC a while back that I plan on using as the favicon of my website when I eventually put up a new layout, that is. Anyway, I think it’s cute, yet a little weird looking…

Later today I’ll be over at my parents’ house to do some laundry and will be having dinner there with the immediate family.

I have lots to write about but will get to that some other time because I just don’t have the time to do so right now.
