My cousin who is back for Christmas came over on Sunday afternoon for a visit, along with her brother. We talked, watched a couple of DVDs, had a delicious lunch and played many rounds of Uno. It is great to have her back, we have all missed her. She brought chocolates from America for my sisters and I. I really like the Milky Way Bar (which I think is available here in South Africa) and Reese’s Caramel Peanut Butter Cup. Kissables taste like our Nestlé Smarties but have a different chocolate taste… I like Cadbury chocolate the most though…
On Monday morning my older sister had given each of my younger sisters and myself some money which we used at the mall that day. We met up with our cousin at the mall and did some browsing and very light shopping. While we waited on my cousin’s brother to arrive we sipped on delicious slushies before seating ourselves at Spur where we would all have lunch on my cousin’s brother’s arrival. My youngest sister and I had a kid’s portion of ribs and fries. I should have ordered a rib burger instead, no bones and less messy…
Christmas is just a few days away! I can not wait to spend time with the family and have fun. To add to some existing Christmas gifts, I made some charm bracelets for some of my female cousins and I had also made a pale pink pearl rosary for my godmother. I know that my godmother will really like the rosary, well, I hope she does. It took some time to make because I did not rush as I feared to scratch the pearls with the wire pins and pliers. In the end it turned out beautiful, I think…
I think that my younger sisters, cousins and I will be over at my grandfather’s house tomorrow. We want to clean it up because none of us want Christmas at our aunt’s house instead of my grandfather’s. We spend every Christmas day at my grandfather’s house, it is tradition. None of us like our aunt’s house, there is nothing to do besides sit in her lounge and do nothing better but sleep and we do not want to spend Christmas day like that. As my grandfather has been living with my aunt for some time now, his house has been empty and collecting dust, it needs to be cleaned. So we want to get the place cleaned up so we can have our traditional Christmas day at our grandfather’s house. Even if we have to make it happen by ourselves…
I have been feeling like death since December 5th. Having the flu in summer is the worst. the summer heat and my being ill definitely do not mix well together. It does not feel any good when I am feeling five times hotter than my fever because of the damn summer heat… It is really uncomfortable…
Yesterday was my mother’s birthday and the one year mark of my favorite uncle’s death. It was so sudden and it feels so unreal. I keep thinking that he is still alive, that he is at work and I will be seeing him the next time that the family is together. Whenever those days come and he does not make an appearance, I am reminded that he is really gone. I still keep thinking that he is not…
Since my last update I have done nothing more than baby sit and be lazy. My niece has been more than a handful. I think that she is starting to teethe and so she has been really fussy. The only way I could get her to sleep now is by applying TeeJel onto her gums and have her sucking away on a pacifier… In two days she will be six months old. Time is really passing by too fast. We might be holding a small “Half a Year Old” party for her with half a cupcake and even half a candle. I think that this will be really cute and my cousin will be here to join us. She will not be here for my niece’s first birthday so I also think it will be something special.
My cousin was scheduled to arrive this morning. She is home for Christmas and will be heading back to the United States of America in January to continue her studies. I am so excited to see her! I will hopefully be seeing her this weekend…
Cameron’s website and mine were unavailable for sometime as there were some issues with the server. Cameron moved back to the previous server and now things are running smoothly again. I will be adding a link to my website page for any hosting donations that anyone would like to send. Any donations towards the costs of hosting will be greatly appreciated.
Compared to the few years before, I think that I have been a good girl this year. There are many things that I would like to have..
Listed below are the things I would like to have the most this year:
- Money
- DVD writer (I have so many things on my hard drive that I need to backup)
- Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 (I really would love to have this webcam)
- Computer desk - Small (For my bedroom)
- Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110 (In need of a new mouse!)
- Various products from overseas (I wish I had the means to be able to have some of these things)
- LaCie Skwarim 30GB USB2 Drive - Pink (For private backups or just backups)
- Laptop (I wish!)
If you have feel like sending something my way, using my WishList heading over to Kalahari.net and sending me an e-voucher may simplify the process.
The items listed here are not only items that I would like to have but are items that I plan to purchase when I can afford to do so. This post had been written out of pure boredom and for self-amusement.
