Internet broke AGAIN

BWWWWAHAHA- OMG, I am sooo frustrated it isn't funny. My main internet connection has been OFF for the most part of January. Seems all the storms we have been having in this area keeps damaging the main tower.

They have been on the phone with me constantly letting me know what is happening etc etc, but arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh, FIX IT DAMMIT! lol. I've been on poor Deon's little portable wireless AGAIN - which has been a life saver for sure- but it's dial up speeds when it comes to uploading or even posting this page. GREAT for mail and just browsing. But hey, it's still way better than being totally without a "lifeline" right? ;-P

I got a "mainline" fix for about 5 hours yesterday- OMG, I was like a mad woman- uploading like a banshee. Running around the internet like a loon, no food, no coffee- just give me SPEED! BBWWWWHAHAHAHAHA.  ;-P

I got up some "requests" into a CU GRAB BAG yesterday at Sugar Hill Co.

*random chatter*-lol OMG! Well you all know Nathan started working this year and in his FIRST month of working he had to ask for time off as he has his "Provincial colours" for Rock and Surf Fishing Under21's! lol

His boss is very impressed about it ( Thank Goodness) as he is a big fisherman himself ( seems Nath landed in the right job- BWHAHAHA).

Anyways, Nathan KNEW that he would get an initiation of a HEAD SHAVE as all the boys getting into the team have had it done by the "old toppies". BUT oh man... what he didn't know was they first hack at it with scissors and leave it like that for a DAY! Nathan was NOT IMPRESSED and sent me photo's with a MOM, how the hell do you fix this?????

nath

A BEFORE shot above ( these were small photo's sent to my camera) OMG, I nearly cried myself! They made him walk around like - well sit in the car while they travelled to Cape Town! mmmmmmmmmmmmm- SHAVE it my boy and no number 1 on a clipper is even going to save that!

He tried a number 1 first- but it looked terrible with the lines still going through like a train station- so it was use the clipper BARE and take it down to the scalp. and when I got the last photo- I nearly freaked as he looks JUST LIKE HIS DAD did in the Army! OMG, it's like looking at Wayne's twin. I think he looks cute actually, but then again he is my BOY! lol. He is not impressed by does laugh at it now ;-)

Wear sunscreen on that head my boy and keep a cap on- cause it's going to BURN! hahahaha- OY!

I have a little something I made up and re-did them for you into usable "brushes" and PNG's as a CU freebie that you can play with:

kb-doodlepencil

6 PENCIL doodles made into brushes (all clean and tidy-lol) and separated PNG's for those who can't use the brushes ;-)

I used the same techniques for my hearts in the CU Grab Bag above>

You can grab them HERE: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Ln3eu12e/kb-pencil4U.html

Well I'm off to grab coffee as this is going to take a while to post- hahaha. (with two time outs so far- here's hoping #3 hits the spot! oy!-lol)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'm praying those techs get their asses in gear and get me up and running again ;-)

It's a Dogs life

WHeeeeee- it's Friday the 13th today! Are you superstitious? To me Friday the 13th has always been lucky! I LOVED going to our local casino at home on Friday the 13th's - It would usually bring me a little "spending money"- hee hee. But that won't be today as I'm FAR away from my home casino and might just try a lotto ticket tonight ;-P- lol

Before I get to some "it's a dogs life photo's" I wanted to show you some new ribbons and things up at Sugar Hill. co today... just in time for those "Valentines or love themed" creations.

A dogs life???- well it's definitely Wayne's adopted Poodle "Sherlock's"... Gosh, the poor thing has been so quiet since we got back from holiday and I said to Wayne he is pining and wanting the fun he had on holiday.. hell I'm feeling a bit like that too. Who doesn't want to have sun, sea and family and friends everyday lol

1

mmmmmmmmmmmm, this boat thing is not so bad... sitting in the front here is better than hanging out a car window for sure!

2

ooooh Ok, much more fun on "Dads" lap driving I think?

3

Well lets seee.., getting spoilt in Granddad's lap on a fun family ride is maybe better?











OOOH NO.... this is MUCH better, why sit when you can lie down, have the wind blowing through your hair and be in DAD's lap-- yeah yeah this is heaven! lol

................ to be continued- lol

Sherlock had a blast as is now a "CAPE or BEACH" dog for sure.. he even loved the water and swimming in the river and sea. We had good laughs at him and his antics and the "grand parents" have phoned twice to see how their little "man" is doing now that he is home- BWHAHAHA. Looks like Sherlock has found the perfect family too ;-)

Happy New Year and I'm back

WHEEEEEEEEEEE, I'm back from our summer holidays and sort of still trying to get my head straight here.. so thought I'd start the year off with a BIG HELLO to all of you first ;-)

Happy New Year to you and your families and I hope that 2012 is going to be a great year for all of you.

Gosh we got back late Sunday night and yesterday I couldn't WAIT to get my main PC up and running.. (suitcases and unpacking can wait- lol) .. well that's what I thought anyways- hahaha. mmmmmmmm, I turn it on and click on my "name" to bring up my log in box ( you know the one for your password?) and NOTHING... nope nada, it won't budge! WHATTTTT, nnnnnnooooo, don't do this to me on my first day back! So I restart the PC ( oh I did this about 10 times during the morning- hahah) and windows starts up fine but still can't get past that "beep beep" box! So what do you do when you start hyperventilating?? You phone your PC guru DEON and hubby Wayne to complain- BWHAHAHA!

No problem they say.. we'll look when we get home from work.. ok. I won't panic yet as I know windows is loading.. so I ACTUALLY DO all the unpacking and even repacked our whole wardrobe.. hey I was bored- lol

And true to form of course, Deon comes up here teasing me about being blonde and my PC going rusty after a month being off etc etc, and does ONE CLICK and Voilla - he's in... What the hell dammit, I did that most of the day.

He starts laughing and says my mouse is STUFFED and he used the right button.. Sheeee's dammit, I could have done that if I had thought of it ... mmmmm, maybe the teasing about being blonde isn't so far wrong- BWHAHAHAHA.

So I have my little LT mouse on now so I could get stuck in.. a month seems like a lifetime here at the moment.. phew, I don't even know where to start- lol

So thought I'd share a few of the holiday pics of Christmas Day with you so far..

We rented a house a road back from the River and had some really stunning views right to the beach.. The folks of course stayed with us the whole holiday and Wayne brought Sherlock the poodle with too ;-)

dec3  The one and only "together" shot we get every Christmas morning ;-)

dec2 The "Broedelet" Boys all together ( gosh you can see the apples didn't fall far from the tree!! BWAHAHAHA)

dec1 All the "boys" including my Dad( who you can see I take after with my height!! lol)

dec4The only "boobies" in the house at the time as my FIL said and I couldn't resist.. my awesome MIL played along too.. hahaha.

dec6 

That about says it all- BWHAHAHA. He wore his chefs hat all morning too.. ;-)

dec11

Nathan got a whole stocking full of little gifts with notes from his girlfriend Kristy ( who spent Christmas in PE with her Gran and joined us the next day) and had us all in stitches... She had asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he replied, gadgets, fishing stuff etc. Well this was one of the Gadgets.. a PEZZ dispenser. lol

He also got some "Super Hero" Plasters for the cuts and injuries he always gets on the rocks fishing.. lol

dec7

I had fun with the "ribbon and bows" and eventually sported a headband with a huge bow on my forehead.. you can just read Wayne's mind here thinking.. Oh Lord, here she goes again! lol

dec8

Waynes folks LOVED their beach bag with a picture of them both fishing on it ;-)

dec10

And even Sherlock got a present of a new Teddy ( one that at least has eyes and a nose on it- for now that is)

table

the family with their Christmas Hats on ready to EAT!!

dec18

Around the Christmas Table that was very plain this year due to being in a rented house and not at home, but it was just the family and we had a good LONG lunch that landed up in a good afternoon snooze for all of us- lol

Of course these are just a FEW but it's a start and I can't wait to get stuck in this year...

It's good to be back

Hugs and Loves
