It's been a while between posts I know. But as always, every now and then life tends to lead you down a different path than the one you actually want to go down.
I've been really busy with my real job the past few weeks, so the few days I have had off in between have been devoted to my dear hubby and gorgeous little man with housework fitting in there somewheres. There hasn't been a lot of time for crafting at all.
I did make it out to Alisa's last Sunday for a beginners workshop on the Gazelle, so I got to sit all day and make a paper orchid that I found in a recent paper sculpting magazine. Actually, making it up didn't take very long at all and I just generally slouched around for most of the day! The orchid will be my next post so keep an eye out for it.
You know how things always happen in three's? Well this week has been my '3' week!! It all started when I went to Alisa's. She is an hours drive from my place. My hubby had arranged to help a friend out by taking some rubbish to the tip for her and needed my car with the tow bar on it to do so. All well and good, I take his car to Alisa's only to have him call me at 10am asking where my car keys were!!! Safe and sound in my handbag!! I was cracking the poos big time when Alisa's darling husband Ted came to the rescue and drove the keys home for me. A 2 hour round trip!! THANK YOU TED!!!!! Isn't he a darling?? And Alisa gives him such a hard time *grins*!!
The second thing was a very irate client whose appointment I hadn't transferred over from one diary to another properly, totally my fault and I admit that and apologised profusely for it, but she saw fit to abuse me for it in front of a fellow co-worker and 2 clients! Now I know I mucked up and tried to organise something for her that would suit her but that wasn't good enough for her. Her ranting really threw me. I know I have my blonde moments and I know her appointment being stuffed up my fault, but for goodness sake, it was a nail appointment!!! Get over it sunshine!! I didn't see fit to abuse her when she was 20 minutes late for one of her appointments which cost me money in rent!! **DEEP BREATHES**
The third thing wasn't really anything to do with me, but I was present so I'm claiming it as mine in the hopes of holding off anything else that might want to throw my week out of kilter. LOL
OK, I've bored you enough with my raving I'm sure, I hope to get a picture of the orchid up later on today. I'm off to Geelong shortly to see my dad and his fiancee for lunch.
Have a great day and thanks for dropping by.
