Starting a band! (meme)
Tagged by angel.

Go to Wikipedia random and the first Wikipedia article you get is your band name! Go to the random Quotations Page and the last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album. Then go to Flickr’s last 7 days and the third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Use Photoshop or some such similar program to put it all together. Post it to your blog and tag the friends you want to join in.
I clearly suck at editing the picture to add text...but all I got is paint and I don't use it very well!

Angel Fluff and heavy stuff
angel tagged her readers to post a picture of their bedside tables. Here's mine:

I'm currently reading Eldest from the Eragon series. For those that don't know, it's the second book of three.
I was upset this morning after church. After service My Evil Mother called me aside and asked me to please pray for her this week as Service for the Departed is going to be especially difficult for her. I was a tad confused by this statement and asked her to clarify, thinking perhaps someone she knew had passed on, but then she said she didn't want to talk about it because it would upset me. She was talking about James! Having registered this I asked her if she didn't think it would be hard for me...'Of course! But I held him...' FFS. I carried him inside me you stupid wench! I don't know why I'm surprised. She's always been an attention whore and pity is her favourite kind of attention. I understand that James was her first and only grandchild thus far, but he was my son and I think it was insensitive of her to ask me to remember HER. Pffft.
In case anyone was wondering. I'm not pregnant this month either.

Fluffy post (MEME)
Since my blog has been a bit "doomy and gloomy" lately I decided to do what Angel would call a 'fluffy' post. Exmi did a post once about the contents of her handbag. I thought that would be fun...although I shudder to think about what I might discover.
As a side note, Rudi and I went to watch Transporter 3 last night. Jason Statham is smoulderingly hot and takes his shirt off quite a few times. Yum! I'm enjoying charting with fertility friend and remembering to take my temperature in the mornings (OK, two so far). I kind of like charts.
A little background on my handbag: It was bought for me by a friend and colleague for my kitchen tea. It's a good quality handbag - hence me being able to use it for so long. I like BIG handbags, as you will discover - I carry a lot of crap around. I also like handbags with lots of compartments so that I can try to maintain some order. I fail miserably at this. Lets see what's inside...
Now...my make up bag contains:
My wallet contains:
Believe it or not, I still have a thick stack of cards lying at home that simply didn't fit into my wallet anymore.
That was definitely not as scary as I thought it would be! Now...I tag Angel, Jenty and Wenchy to do it too! If you want to and I haven't tagged you, link back in the comments.

I need to live a little!
It's my 100th blog post on my new blog. A lot has happened since I started blogging here, including me getting pregnant. I haven't written about My Evil Mother here, which means I haven't had much interaction with her.
I nearly fainted in church yesterday. We were standing for quite some time (ok 5 minutes or so) and while we were praying I starting getting hot flushes and feeling very dizzy and light headed. I sat down, but it didn't seem to help. I ran to the bathroom and leaned against the cold wall. I thought I would throw up, but thankfully I didn't. Someone offered me a chair at the back and kept checking on me (I was sitting up front to begin with). I must have looked awful as a complete stranger came up to me and asked me if I was ok - said she was worried about me. After communion My Evil Mother realized I hadn't been sitting next to her for almost the entire service and came running to me crying to check if I was alright *rolls eyes*. She probably only showed concern because people were watching.
After church I was feeling better and we went to have a picnic. I ended up playing a bit of tennis and shooting some hoops. I got a little exercise for a change and felt really good about it, even though I felt like crap the rest of the day.
I still feel like crap. I can't freaking WAIT for this all day sickness to go away. I'm fed up with it.
A colleague at work gave a gym my contact details. Apparently she needed to nominate 10 people or some crap. I HATE it when people do that. Now I have a gym dude on my back trying to sell me a subscription. The gym is like on the other side of the world too. So I'll go there this afternoon and I'll tell him that I will sign up with Virgin if anyone since I get a special deal from Discovery. I will also tell them that I'm under strict instructions from my gynae not to exercise. Bastards. I want to strangle the colleague. I have a tough time saying no to people. The more you say no the more they push. I hate it.
I tag cheapthrills to do the meme and tag all her friends since nobody actually reads my blog.

Mosaic Meme

cheapthrills gave me some tag-love. For a meme with a difference. Answer questions and create a picture mosaic. Thereby giving your readers something to look at (we all know who prefers pictures to words) while learning random shit about you.
The questions:
1. What is your name?
2. What is your favourite food?
3. Which school did you attend?
4. What is your favourite colour?
5. Which celebrity do you consider to be your favourite?
6. Your favourite drink?
7. Your dream holiday?
8. What do you want to be when you grow up?
9. What’s your favourite dessert?
10. What do you value most in life?
11. One word to describe you?
12. Your blog’s name?
Note: The photos correspond with the questions in the sequence:
1…2…3
4…5…6
7…8…9
10…11…12
Answers:
1. Heather
2. Alfredo
3. Stellenberg High School (that's the girl's choir)
4. Purple
5. Angelina Jolie
6. Amarula
7. Tropical Island
8. Thin
9. Chocolate Mousse
10. Family
11. Bored
12. acidicice
It is really easy to do. You first need to open Mosaic Maker. There you choose 3 columns and 4 rows. Go to the Flickr search page and search your answers to the questions below. Choose a photo on the first page only, open it and copy the URL into the appropriate line of the Mosaic page. When done with all 12 lines, SAVE to your chosen directory (probably My Pictures) and upload it to your posting.
I copied her entry and just added my own stuff. I'm sure she won't mind since she knows I feel like crap and I'm particularly demotivated and not in the mood to do anything.
I tag anyone who feels like doing this.
