Transition into domestic goddess: complete

Last night I came to the realisation that I have transitioned quite smoothly into a domestic goddess, not even 3 months after getting married.

The evidence as follows (which all took place in a period of 3 effortless hours):

• Prepared a lemon meringue pie - perfect in every way (ok ok, I cremated the meringue and had to peel it off and make a new one). 
• Mended my husband's tracksuit pants - nice big hole in the crotch (sweet note left on my bed left by husband, with careful instructions "Naai me" (translation for the non-Afrikaans speakers - "naai" means to sew... but it also means something along the lines of "give me a good rogering"))
• Stayed home, whilst husband out for drinks with the boys
• Completed the thank you cards (finally) for the wedding gifts

Who would have thought that I would have so easily slipped into such domestic action so effortlessly - on a day I had actually taken off sick!

But I have to say that I did get numerous cups of tea, porridge and rubbings on back (no wait, maybe that was actually a pat on the back?)...

My doc's advice

I went to see the doc today, head is a little sore, stuffy ears and blocked throat. In conversation I mentioned that James and I are trying for a baby. His advice? "Just relax and put your feet up"

Now that is practical advice!

Not much blogging action, huh?

When I started up this blog a while ago, the idea was to spend a little less time at work and more time living life. I guess I forgot to factor in time/ inclination to blog whilst on the way!

BUT! 

What a wonderful year it has been, even if not documented moment by moment on this page. In March I got married! Needless to say, the last several months have been about colour swatches, losing 10kgs (love you Herbalife), choosing flowers that wouldn't make my fiance' sneeze and of course, plenty of bonding time with my entourage of bridesmaids and flowergirls (my 2 best friends, 3 nieces and new stepdaughter).  

Here a couple of pictures from the wedding, and also a couple pictures from the superb photoshoot my bridesmaids arranged for me, which was a complete hoot!
