What A Weekend !!!

Hello Dear Friends ...

It feels like ages since I have had the chance to say G'Day to you all (although I think it was only last Thursday !!). I feel like a lifetime has passed !!!

Before I start rambling, I must tell you about Chicky's performance in the Dance Contest on Friday night. Her school's dance groups did amazingly well, with the teams coming 1st and equal 2nd, and the Troupe (which Chicky was part of) came second. They danced so well, they should have come first ... but second is pretty good too !! It was so exciting ... the cheer-squad for her school was most definately the loudest !!! We are so proud. She just loves dancing, and being on stage. Don't know that I could do it (even if I could dance!!). I think I'd get stage-fright !!

I have spent most of the past 3 days in front of my computer ... but unfortunately not doing anything fun !! I had the most boooooring document that needed typing (You know I have a typing business, I think !!). It was a Franchise Agreement ... a legal document ... and was 99 typed pages long (very full pages, at that !). The guy that wanted it typed no longer had it on disc or computer, so it needed re-typing. It was full of indentation, numbered lists, bolding, and heaps of other formatting. It wasn't just straight typing, which would have been easy ... it was hard yakka !! I spent ages just trying to set it up, and then nasty Word kept stuffing up my formatting ... all in all I had a bugger of a time !!! It was worth it in the end, as the pay was lovely !!! I finally had it finished around mid-day Sunday. The document and disc was collected, and I was paid ... yay !!

Afterward, we went out shopping !!! I had seen a great computer corner desk that I wanted, as the desk I was using was way-small !! It was the perfect opportunity to go out and get it, so we did. Hubby and I spent a couple of hours putting the thing together ... it was like a jigsaw, with zillions of little (and big) screws and fixtures !! Eventually we got it together, I sorted out everthing from the old desk (which is now in Chicky's room ... she's excited, too !!) and put it all together in and on the new desk. I loooove it, it looks wonderful. What do you think ?

I had another document to type today, for another guy, which was also a pain. But I got through that, and now I am free again ... yippee !!! I can get back to the world of Blogging. Watch out, I'll be coming by to visit !!

I received a lovely postcard in the mail today ... check it out at my Postcard Blog - here !

I also received a lovely package from Cathy. Thank you so much Cathy, it is wonderful. The package consisted of: a little stuffed kitty (which is sitting near my computer, keeping me company), a couple of Canada pencils and a Canada Pen, a great little notbeook, a gorgeous kitty magnet (which is already on my fridge), some cute tissues, and she wrote me a lovely note in a beautiful kitty card. Here, have a look at all my lovely things ...

It has been really cold here today ... it got down to 4ºC overnight, and only got up to 11ºC during the day. The sun took ages to break through. I found it very hard to stay warm today, and really cranked up the heating. I am not feeling 100% ... a bit achey and stiff (from sitting in front of the computer in one position for such a long time, I guess), and fairly tired. I feel the cold heaps when I am tired. The rest of the week is looking to have more cold nights, and cool (but sunny) days. Then the weekend is looking wet ... typical, we have a long weekend coming up - to celebrate the Queens Birthday.

Anyway, how was your weekend ?? I hope it was better than mine !!

Hubby and I are off to the movies tomorrow with my mum and dad. We are going to see "Poseidon", which was only very recently released here. Looks like a great movie ... I loved the original. I'll let you know what I think next time I post. Poor Chicky will be at school, while we are having fun !! Oh well, only 2 weeks until end of Term 2 ... then they have 2 weeks holiday. Don't know what we will do during this 2 weeks, hopefully lots of fun stuff !!

I hope you all have a great week.

Take care,

MEOW
