Silence is a great source of strength
I am writing this post from my boyfriends flat while watching The Proposal.
I am all on my own. David is in Cape Town – granny is turning 70 (happy happy gran). The kids are with their father. And I purposefully made no plans for tonight.
It has been months since I have had a kid-free, boyfriend free night. While I am missing them all terribly I am kinda loving the calm. I hhave hired dvds, eaten sushi, drunken wine, made extra butter popcorn and just generally done nothing. It has been great.
I am planning on an early night as I was up early this morning to drop my most awesome man at the airport, then headed to the Irene Market with my mom and found the most beautiful things, and ended the afternoon with Louisas baby shower – where there was MUCH baby-ness an d I promise you that kid has more clothes for her first year than I have had in all my 31 years. But its always so nice to chill with my friends.
I have Christels Thanksgiving tomorrow so have to leave the house at 12h00 – I plan on getting out of bed at 11h30 
OOOHHH and I found a dress. After trying on 6 dresses this morning and feeling like a blob of lard, I had decided I was going in my jeans when Jeanette (and ExMi) offered their closests. Second dress of Jeanettes I tried on fitted and looked so cute. So its all sorted. Thanks Jeanette and thanks ExMi for offering.
And that folks is all from me

I also want to see THE dress!
Thank you so much for coming to my baby shower and spoiling me and Squishy – how crazy was it though?! Sjoe…I’m looking at this MOUNTAIN of baby clothes right now wondering where to start with the packing away and putting through the wash.(I might have to have another 3 kids at least to use everything even once – mwahahaha!).
