Xtreme Carting

This was what I captured in town the other day..

I never knew that Riding Carts could be a form of X-Treme Sports.

All that hard work is paying off

At least in the front yard..

with flower beds and roses and a new lawn with Bermuda Grass ( oooo..the toes are having a field day ) but there's still a lot to be done and i'm getting "tan" despite getting all hooded up and wear ing a hat and long sleeves and gloves just because I'm vain and don't wanna have Tan lines that show when i wear the wedding gown..LOL

...which is due for another try/fitting probably next week to see if any alterations need to be done to it...

I KNOW I'm going to get wild mood swings because I have just started the SLIM FAST diet ( desperado time ) and in 2 days i've lost 1 lb, which isn't all that bad, I suppose.

But women know that diets make them depressed and cranky...Poor David.

Never in my Dreams

Would I have imagined

I would one day own a tractor....

to mow the 5 acres, to dig holes for planting, etc...

Dripping wet in the Cattery

We had gotten some turf grass..

from Lowe's for the cattery, and because of other ..ahem..."priorities", had left the grass at the back of the truck for a few days..

To our dismay, when we unloaded them 2 days ago, some had turned kinda brown and mushy..so, yesterday, David tilled up the cattery earth and we started laying down the sod.

Then it started raining.

NO, it POURED...

....Cats and Dogs ( Pun intended )

I was so miserable laying the heavy soaked sod on the ground and mud had stuck onto my boots, so I was lugging around like 5 extra pounds on each foot, I was wet, I was cold, but we knew it had to be done.

AFTERWARDS, when I was back in the house, clean, snug and warm in my terry bath robe, watching The Amazing Race I started thinking that sometimes, to feel really good, we have to go through some really miserable times first...to learn new things, we have to go through hard lessons.

( all philosophical, bleh )

Anyway, here's pictures of some of the cats all of this was done for.

No Tail Jnr., No Tail Snr., Tabby

p/s: Thanks guys for reassuring me about the wedding thing :) Appreciate it.

It finally happened..

I had a wedding nightmare

I dreamt ..

• everyone was in the wrong clothes
• we didn't have a rehearsal, so the whole sequence was awkward
• my bridesmaids, flower girl and ring bearer didn't even have a chance to be in the procession
• the wedding was over before i noticed the photographer was NOT present

It was a few days back that I dreamt this, so it's all a bit fuzzy now. I've relaxed as far as wedding preparations go, coz apparently, in my "frantic"ness, I seem to have covered most bases so now I'm concentrating on different things...

maybe it was all that news about the runaway bride from Georgia which sparked all of this....
