Yay, The Weekend's Here ....

Well, in my part of the world it is now officially the weekend. It is around 10.30pm on Friday night, work is over, school is over, for the week. Yay. I ended up having a really good and successful week. I got everything done that I wanted and needed to, and then some !! (Aren't I good !!!)

I have some interesting news, well at least I hope it will be interesting !!! I enrolled in an on-line short-course, starting next Thursday, on Web Design. All this blogging, and fiddling with my blog (the side-bar in particular) has got me interested in getting into it more. I'd love to learn all the HTML code, and design really cool web-sites. I have borrowed some books from the library on Web Design and HTML & XHTML, and am spending time reading through them. Very interesting stuff. Reckon it might be something I could get good at (I hope !!). I have put the idea of becoming a swimming teacher on the back-burner for now ... I can always fall back on that. You are probably all thinking, "This girl doesn't know what she wants" ... I'm just keeping my options open ... nothing wrong with learning new skills, is there ?!?

I had a bit of a transformation today. I bought some new jeans, some new runners ... New Balance brand, no less (in my eyes, they are comparable to Nike and the like), had a hair cut, and just now finished coloring my hair. I am a new woman. But don't go getting any ideas ... I ain't posting no pictures of my hairdo, na uh, no way, no-one's gonna see a picture of me on the internet (not close up, anyhows !!). You'll just have to use your imaginations ... the length is about mid back (level with bottom of shoulder blades, sort of), wavy curls (I use lots of product to scrunch great curls into it), layered all over, and now it is Natural Burgundy in color (although I've never seen anyone born with hair this color, so don't know how "natural" it really is !!!). I'm just trying to think of a movie star who has similar hair (someone tall, dark, curly haired and sexy will do !!). We are going out tomorrow night, to a 21st birthday, and all the family and multitudes of friends will be there. I couldn't turn up with long, scraggly hair (that hadn't been cut since July last year), stacks of grey showing through (grey hair is a sign of intelligence ... did you know that !!??), looking like a walking disaster area. I have no idea what I'm going to wear, but I know my hair will look great !!!

One of our TV stations is just showing the movie "Cool Runnings" ... what a fabulous movie. I've seen it dozens of times, have it on DVD, but laugh myself stupid every time I see it. It's one of those all time classic feel-good type movies.

Wow, I just realised that this is my third post for today (although the others weren't anything I wrote, just stuff I wanted to share). That's a bit extravagent for me, don't you think !?!

Anyway, I might just get along and enjoy my weekend ... hope yours isn't too far away. I'm going to check out a few more blogs, just to fill my quota for the day, LOL, then I might watch some TV. I intend to sleep in tomorrow, and have a lazy day (apart from doing mountains of washing), then spend the afternoon getting ready for the party. Sunday we are going as a family for a drive to Bonnie Doon, to collect our boat to bring it home for a clean and service the jet and motor. Love going for Sunday drives.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Look after yourselves and our families.

Take care,

MEOW
