I drive a red tazz... nothing nearly as extravagant as these 4x4's but it does the job for me. I love the red too... just a thought though... from experience.... the red does fade in patches and sometimes looks a bit dull.... maybe "metallic" (ie shiny) won't fade as much? Good luck and hope Nissan come to the party without hiking the price at the same time!
i have come to realise that...
....different cars look better in different colours. i know that when you saw the title of this post, you were anticipating the same insight and wisdom you have come to expect from me and my blog. but i cannot be brilliant all the time, and what awesomeness i have, i mostly share in 140-characte...

creative projects...
i took this photo in the shop last week. i had 3 creative projects on the go at the same time. the girls who regularly come to the wednesday morning scrapbooking class, wanted to go to a mosaicing class. and since i have wanted to try it for ages, i tagged along. this is my first project, ...
Oh what I wouldn't give to be able to work at home too... could do a heck of a lot more than sitting here at work!!! And with a boss like Snowy I bet you could get a lot done too.
sometimes i wish...
... i could work from home. i would love to do some blog-designing and writing work. and i would love to do it from home. why? well, i could work on my laptop. in bed. in my pajamas. discipline would not be a problem, because i have a supervisor: her name is snowy. and she is a strict taskma...
Oh now why didn't I think of that... oh yes because I don't wear makeup (no eyeliner in the house!) and secondly I don't shower... bath! But I so understand where you're coming from. For me my to do list always happens when I'm driving.... think I should start using the dictaphone idea as well... maybe then I'll remember to phone some people!
out on the tiles...
i have put an eyeliner pencil in my shower, so i can write on the tiles. i don't know about you, but i always think of the most eloquent blogposts, the funniest tweets and most assertive emails while i am in the shower. but when i sit down in front of my computer, they are gone. erased from my ...
Oh love the new pic... you look stunning. The grit and grainy-ness just add to your charm.
profile pics..
i love that in the new typepad i can make (and change) the URL for my blogposts. in fact, there is a lot i love about the new typepad! i wanted a new profile pic. and as i hate myself in photos, and i cannot act natural in front of a camera, and i had an unexpected 15 minutes available, i took s...

The year sure has flown past ... nice to see the butterflies again.
spring fever again...
last year on spring day i posted this on my blog. it quickly turned out to be one of the most popular posts on my blog ever. this year i cannot do anything to top it. and since it still makes me happy, and many of you have not seen it, so i thought i would repeat it. recycling? regifting? or jus...
Oh I'm so with you on this one... I hate to throw out the last of the soap but hubby can't stand using it when it is too thin... I've just got used to "wasting" it now instead of fighting... the road of least resistance. I still will turn bottles upside down though to get the last few dregs out of them... no matter what they are.. shampoo, liquid soap, tomato sauce, etc. I also like to squeeze the last drop out of the toothpaste. If that's how much you pay for then that's how much you should use!!! hehee.
The rule in our house with food... if you don't finish what's on your plate you don't get pudding... so we always finish our food even if there is no pudding!
waste not want not...

Glad your attitude is letting you see the up and up. The rumblings must just be your stomach... get some chocolate in it and then the creative juices will really flow... hehehehe
thank you..
it seems that my previous blog-post has touched a few chords. most of the comments that i got here and on facebook and in my email, said that you are also feeling a little overwhelmed/blue, or that you have been there and are feeling a little better. thanks for that. it makes me feel less alone....
