Frustration and going on holiday

ARGGGGGGGGH- lets just say that going on holiday now for two weeks has come at the perfect time! I’m so ready to throw my PC down the stairs or out the window-lol.

The boys thought all their problems would be over when they said Windows 7 and nothing else on here (it’s the best!)- BWHAHAHAHA. uhum, well lets just say they haven’t had it “quietly” since then. I’ve had nothing but issue after issue with older programmes including Photoshop and PSE. Yeah, we’ve downloaded patch after patch, fix after fix and it still lags and does weird stuff! Some of my fonts won’t work and OMG- you can’t even load them all at one time- WTH?? lol

I’m going on HOLIDAY and don’t want to go spend thousands upgrading my designing software NOW- hell, I’m happy with what I have to be honest- if it ain’t broke don’t try fix it! BWHAHAHA.

Enough moaning from me as Deon has two weeks now to play on here and get my XP 64 bit back on my designing pc! hahaha.

PC issues and tearing HAIR OUT

ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH- can you please pass me a big glass of wine??- lol

Deon and I have been sitting here since early this morning trying to figure out WHY I’m not receiving any mail (been like that since yesterday)- I can SEND mail no problem, but keep getting errors when trying to send. We’ve deleted accounts, re-added them, made new identity’s, BUT NOPE seems I don’t exist! We’ve run error repairs, registry repairs- BLAH, still not doing it! (hee hee I did learn something from my friend and PC genius Bunny Wunny)

At this point in time we’ve decided to just “kill” everything and start again- BWAHAHAHA. Deon’s favourite method of fixing PC’s - yup the good ol’ REFORMAT!
Ok to be honest my poor PC has been playing up lately no matter how many cleans and sweeps I have done. I think eventually I kill them well anyway- so starting from “scratch” has been on my mind the last month- now it’s a reality.

So for now I’m running blind and will be making sure I have all my “backups” in place in the next few hours and then Dee will hit the KILL button- OY! LOL.
So for now I’m going to just show you my JUNE CU GRAB BAG that went live in store today ;-)

Youth Day

ARRKK the whole week seems to have flown by again and today is a public holiday here in South Africa. It’s Youth Day and well to be honest it feels just like any other day for me today as the boys went off to work today so they can have tomorrow off-WOOT, nothing like a good long weekend. lol.

Monday started with having TWO sick men in this house- OMG, that’s like having at least 5 small kids here all at once- BWHAHAHAHA. Deon had full blown flu and Wayne put his back/neck out again and could hardly move. Boy can they be babies when they are sick- lol. I played “nurse” to both and after making appointments for both at the doc in desperation on Monday they are both almost recovered - Thank you Lord! lol

Then Tuesday I landed up at the dentist- hahaha. I was merrily chomping on my favourite sweets- TOFFFEEES(and I never learn-lol) and it landed up having a bit more “crunch” than it should have- BWHAHA.

I managed to pull out one of my old amalgamated fillings- which in the long run isn’t a bad thing as I had a white porcelain one put in it’s place. But sheee’s I always feel “brain dead” and totally heady for the rest of the day. My mouth only came back alive around 2.30pm and I went at 9am for goodness sakes! lol. I swear I have a low tolerance for those injections- they seem to last FOREVER and I feel like I have “Mick Jagger” lips all day- hahaha!

OOOOH a little SNEAK PEEK of some new goodies coming in a *hint* BAG tomorrow- lol

Those and a few more all in one great “bundle price” ;-)

I have some more STUNNING eye  candy to show you using some of my kits.

Storms,rain, ice and lots of Spirit

Holey crap! What the hell has happened to the weather?? Especially here in South Africa. The temps have dropped to below freezing in a lot of areas- getting SNOW where we shouldn’t and floods in a ton of others. Hellllo??? this is “sunny South Africa” summer or winter- lol

The last two days here have been STORMS, gale force wind- no electricity, no water and oh- internet as slow as setting cement when it is on! lol

After a nights winds and rain taken from my balcony- and this was a “construction” site-

I do NOT want to be the one cleaning THAT portable toilet- BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Yesterday we had great excitement here as “sleet” had fallen in Johannesburg and in areas around where my sisters( GS Creations) lives- Dullstroom. She said it’s tooo cold where she is and they are getting ICE but no snow yet- damn…!. LOL.  I’m waiting for the call to tell me it’s snowing as I have NEVER ever even seen it – let alone “play” in it and I’m sure Caden and I would have a blast! hahaha.

(snow in the Eastern Cape- Drakensburg area)

Poor Nathan and my Dad are being flooded out in the Eastern Cape ( PE) - and it’s STILL raining. I’m just glad both are safe and the house has no damage- phew! It’s so hard being away when disasters strike like this. But I know my boy can handle anything that the weather throws at him and he has enough phone numbers to dial in an emergency.

Port Elizabeth Swartkops River!

OY that should be just green and trees! (photo’s compliments of Johann Pretorius, Despatch)

Stay safe and DRY my boy!

And with all this disaster going on around us here- there was some GOOD SPIRIT happening in the background- lol.

Jenni’s son Tristan is having his 21st Birthday this weekend and her daughter Cherye asked me for a “girly Indian styled” kit for all the girls photos as she could find tons of “Western cowboy” stuff but nothing to use for the girls that were all going as “Indians”.

Of COURSE I jumped at it and has a blast spending just on three weeks creating this one! AT the moment it is on my FAVOURITE kit designed list- lol
