can this day get any worse?

So, today started off swimmingly. Got 2 hours extra sleep thanks to a blood test needed for a new liberty life policy. The catch was that due to a misunderstanding, my premium is to go up by R130. Bugger.
Went off to work, started wading through the days work. Then.... CRASH... some dork had parked his car sans handbrake, and his bigass green tank of an Audi was firmly connected to the side of my car. Third time this has happenend in a year. Second time in 2 months. I'm SO over it. Can't WAIT to move offices this week! *meh*

The change is not in my pocket...

You may have noticed that my blog looks a tad different these days... The story is that I am starting my own online craft business at etsy this year, so have decided to make my blog a blow-by-blow account of my adventures! My first step is to get a credit card for online purposes... if only my new-surnamed ID would hurry up and be ready already! Mike has agreed to let me use some space in the spare room to set up a little sewing nook (i'd like to call it a studio, but it will be teeny tiny, so nook suits) I bought myself the best sewing chair, a wheelie stool!



Now I can wheelie myself around upstairs, and Mike and I can have wheelie-chair races! This weekend we plan to redo a desk that his parents have kindly given to me, stripping it down and painting it... firetrucks watch out, you're gonna have some competition...

A new Veiga...

Now before you all freak out and assume the best/worst, the truth is that we have a new addition to our family (new, meaning not expected in 9 months) Please welcome Napoleon "Sabotage" Dynamite, the miniature russian hamster!!! *round of applause* Napoleon was a gift from me to Michael for his birthday just before christmas. When we got him he was teeny tiny, but after 3 weeks of having a whole cage and endless food to himself, he has become somewhat of a pork chop. Oh well.

(This isn't him, but it's darn close. Would love to post a pic of him... if... only... he'd... stand... still...)
