Red

Looking around this morning for something red, it dawned on me that my Tablet has a new red cover.  I adore this tablet, it has everything I need on it, from my kindle books, to my downloaded magazine subscriptions to email, Internet, shopping lists, and hundreds of applications that keep me occupied at any moment of boredom.  I chose this tablet due to its size, it fits nicely into any of my handbags and thus is on hand at any moment, even when I find myself in a queue or waiting to pick Jordy up from Extra math.  I know most people prefer the i-pad, and it is just lovely, however the size is just too big for it to be practical for me to carry around in my bag, the i-pad needs a bag of its own, I already carry a bag and a briefcase, I would start to look like a pack horse with yet another bag.  So here's to many more enjoyable hours with my table

Window

We live hectic lives, we work long hours, I would love to say we dutifully sit down each night to a cooked dinner at the dining room table and catch up on each others days, this sadly is far from the truth, it is more likely that we  hang out in the kitchen whilst we all get involved in putting together that nights meal,catching up on each others day,probably enjoying a glass of wine, and then we go eat dinner in my room.
I walk in the door at night, and do not sit down until such time as the meal is done, otherwise I probably wouldn't get up again and my family would be very hungry. 
Last night I arrived home to find both Grant & Jordy already started with the meal, so I quickly took a shot of them in action through our kitchen window, I love how well they get on, it really is so special.

Something I wore

I love, this necklace, it adds a little sparkle to an otherwise very plain dress

5:00 pm

Nothing exciting about 5:00pm for me unfortunately, still stuck at my desk, working away, trying valiantly to clear my 187 emails.  I do however love what I do, I always have, I do feel very blessed to be in this position of loving my job, in fact I have always felt very sorry for people who hate their jobs, I can't imagine waking up each morning dreading to go to work, dragging themselves through each day, pinning for the weekend.  I have always been of the opinion if you don't like what you are doing, do something about it, start looking for another job (whilst you are still working) at least.  My hubby often says I should check his lottery tickets in case he has won, so we don't need to go to work on Monday and I always follow with "but I like my job", he thinks I am mental, but what can I say, if you are passionate about something, it doesn't seem like work. You only have one life to live, you don't want to look back and say, I should have.  Don't get me wrong, my job isn't like a fairy tale, with Snow White singing and dancing her way through a forest full of friendly creatures, it has its ups and downs, like everything I suppose, but overall, I feel like I accomplish things and make a difference and am fortunate to work in an environment that is constantly changing and thus keeps my boredom at bay, what more could a girl ask for.

I'm looking over, a four leaf clover

I have had my eyes on the Regina Pierallini black enamel clover necklace for a very long while, I waited too long the last time to make a decision, that she ended up completely sold out, leaving me regretful for not getting one.  Last night over at veronabrit.blogspot.com, Veronika did a vlog on her Regina Pierallini collection and was offering a 15% discount code on all Regina Pierallini purchases.  So I popped on over to her website and they had but one of these beautiful creations left, again a limited edition, with 12 clover stations & 3 large open design clovers.  This time there was no procrastination, so now, with the help of a 15% discount, it is now winging its way to me.

Smile

Frantically rushing around on a Monday morning, there wasn't many smiles to be found in my house, however just before leaving I asked my beautiful daughter to give me a smile and she happily obliged. However the picture came out dreadfully (rookie mistake only checking when I got to work, what can I say, Monday's are a rush) so I pulled out a picture I took of Jordy on Christmas day.

Bedside

Being a little OCD, I don't like clutter, everything in its place and a place for everything, so I don't have very much at my bedside, a lamp with a string of Misbaha (Muslim prayer beads, a gift from a colleague), a picture of my family, an old fashioned telephone (fits with my decor, works terribly) a coaster for my drink at night, a Carrol Boyse oil burner & a Carrol Boyse ornament, along with crisp white bedding and pillows.
Till next time
