One of those days:)

You have those days where everything you do you just have to smile or laugh inside loud. I have thought of so many people today and so badly wanted to share.

No swimming today as I had to wait in for a parcel. Well what a parcel it was today. We got 4 bright and shiny new British passports. I can't tell you what a feeling it feels like to have those passports. Flying high. The early days of when we arrived in the UK and I used to think and make plans as to how I could move back to South Africa because I was so homesick. Wow I used to cry a lot in those days. Now I long for England and South Africa. I want to share my life and my laughs with all my special friends in England and South Africa. Leon and I feel so chuffed to give the kids the passports and off they must go and explore the world with no queues in the visa offices. Little ladies it's all waiting for you.

Then it was a meeting at the school for all the grade two moms - YPD, wait for it. Youth Positive Development. Look I laugh but it's actually quite good. Well the mothers were on about homework. What homework? Kara does reading everyday. When I saw what Kara was getting back into the UK ,these moms have nothing to worry about.

We are so looking forward to Stephen coming to visit us tomorrow night so I hit the bottle store. Cheeky bugger always asks me if I am stocking up????? NO! I told him I have friends, note the friends coming from England. For how long? Cheeky bugger. The weekend (actually one night). Anyway I like the guy so I don't mind all his questions.

Wait for it, first haircut in the US of A. I hate having my hair cut. Leon normally chooses the salon and we all follow. Leon we need to chat because normally you are OK but this time????? Like Leon said the hairdressers are all mutton dressed as lamb. Old woman all wearing far to much make-up, black, stockings and sandals? The ladies have F***K off nails all painted bright red? I told Sylvana, who is Italian what I want. No problems. Then she brings out the bloody hairdryer and starts rolling the hair into curls. Well I nearly wet myself. The last time I did curls and hairdryers was when I got married 15 years ago. Still have no idea why we need to change our whole appearance to get married. Yes I did? The poor guy at the alter gets the shock of his life when he see the bride.
Now Sylvana wants to colour my hair strawberry blond. WOW can you imagine. Next I need the eyebrows waxed. She puts on her glasses and says "Oh my god you really need help". I was laughing so much because her honestly was real. Then we had other ladies in the hairdresser come to look. After the whole ordeal she told me I now look pretty. Can you imagine you walk into a place feeling pretty good and leave now PRETTY. What an experience. Can;t take a picture just yet to show you. Need the box on first. She is now happy about box. Yes and the hair cut cost $80.00. I have never in my life paid that much for a haircut. It won't happen again.

Today is my special sisters birthday. Old tart????? Hope she will hit the night clubs and party hard. Its a celebration today Kate. remember i love you lots and am having lots of laughs today for your birthday. Big hugs.

Love heather
