MUSIC MONTH!

Hi all,

Sorry the blog has been rather boring lately, but have had so many adventures and been busy!

I do not get any time really to BLOG at all!

 

So have been adding music lately as it captures the stuff going on a little…

I have a new cd player with kick@ss speakers in my car and this is my new journey for now.

MY MUSIC!

I forgot how I used to sit for hours in Dad’s computer room and make CD’s for roadtrips, for gifts for any excuse possible.

I would download the newest hits, sit for hours thinking of how I would mix it all and cram the best on a 80 min cd.

But yeah now I just kinda buy cd’s and hope for the best!

 

MUSIC IS A GREAT WAY TO EXPRESS HOW YOU FEEL

RELEASE STRESS…

AND BE… well… ME… CRAZY CLAUDETTE!

 

SO go on…

Get in the car…

Pop in that GOLDEN OLDIE that you LOVE…

PLAY IT LOUD…

REALLY LOUD…

AND SING ALONG…

You will get out feeling energized and happy with all the “feel good” mood you have created!

 

GO ON DO IT!

 

LuCkY GiRl!!

I am a LUCKY GIRL!

I believe in Karma and hard work so I guess it all is paying off!

Short or looooooooooooong?

So cut my hair again and the debate rages on!

Should I stay with the short look or grow my hair looooooooooooong again?

There are so many pro’s and cons… really have to think about it!

 

Jordan, the little girl I babysit made this comment on Friday:

“Claudette every time I see you, you cut your hair, think you should stop it now, bcos next time I see you might be bald!”

 

If...

If you are the only one singing in church…

You must be singing at the wrong time!

Brilliant he is soooooooooo witty even while he is preaching!

Gummi Bears

Matthew and I had a little alone time on Sunday, so we slept in and later went to ClearWater Mall. (This is such a nice mall actually liked it allot!)

We had yummy sandwiches at JUCYLUCY and headed off to find something to buy, as that was my mission, I felt like buying something, just a lil something!

Went to the CD Stores and MIKA was sold out! Found MIKA at another store but too expensive so bought the GUMMI BEARS DVD Volume 1 & 2.

(YES YES I BOUGHT GUMMI BEARS… it’s my favorite!)

Bought a pack of playing cards, need to learn how to play POKER!

 

Went home, got pizza and watched GUMMI BEARS!

 

It was really different watching it now, compared to when I was 10, or younger.

I really like it, it’s innocent and playful!

Seems like the stuff kids are watching NOW is so full of violence! Really don’t enjoy it at all! SO GET YOUR KIDS TO WATCH GUMMI BEARS!

 

 

 

 

SSSSSS Sick!

Seems like WINTER is here!

Everyone is getting sick ;0(

 

GET BETTER SOON ALL OF YOU!

Pina Colada...

Heard this song again…

Thought of Nadine… MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

LOVE YOU!

Only 3 months and 12 sleeps then I get to see you again!

 

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes
 
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
 
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
 
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
 
 
"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."
 
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."
 
That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape

Before Close of Business?

What does BEFORE CLOSE OF BUSINESS TODAY mean?

 

Does it mean if the company hours are from 8:30 am to 16:30 pm that it is before 16:30?

I THOUGHT SO!?

 

Clearly I was mistaken!

It must be 16:00?

NO?

Mmm 15:30?

DEEEEEEEEEEP BREATHS....
DEEEEEEEEEEEEP BREATHS....

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeper Breaths

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer breaths….

 

Ok calmer...

But can someone please let me know if I’m right or wrong?

 

SAN : I also have funny candidate news!

We have an open plan office, right?

 

So you can hearall the phones ring. And if somebody is not at their desk, and their phone rings, it is only polite to take the call and get a message.

 

ME:

"Cynthia's phone, good day"

 

Person..let's call him A. Hole:

"I am looking for Cynthia"

 

ME:

"She is not in, could I take a message?"

 

A.Hole:

"That is funny, reception has just said that they are putting me through to her"

 

ME:

"Reception did put you through to her phone, but she is not in"

 

A.Hole:

"I find that to be very funny, because reception said they are putting me through"

 

ME:

"Well, sir, we have an open plan office, I am looking at her desk, she is not here"

 

A.Hole:

"I find it funny"

 

ME:

"Reception can not see Cynthia's desk, so they can not know for sure whether she is in or not, me, on the other hand, can for certain say that she is not in, as I can see her desk and she is missing"

 

A. Hole:

"Oh..."

 

ME:

"Sir, could I take a message for her, that is the only way I can think to help you"

 

A. Hole:

"No, that is ok"

 

It is so sad that South Africans have become so suspicious...

 

Hehehehehe

Just heard a good chirp from a candidate:

(My boss used to do bodybuilding about 4 years ago and the candidate came to see her a few years ago, and he was commenting on this)

 

Candidate:      

“I have been here before a few years ago I’m sure!”

 

Me:                 

“Might have, as we have relocated offices but still the same staff.”

 

Candidate:      

“Yes the lady used to do bodybuilding I think?”

 

Me:                 

“Yes, but she no longer does it.”

 

Candidate:      

“Yeah I used to gym, but lately just doing the BELLY BUILDING!”

 

Me:                 

Giggles uncontrollably and shows the gentleman to the office

 

Now I really appreciated the honesty, but couldn’t stop giggling :-)

He has the biggest belly ever hehehehe!

W T F*&%!

Just wanted it out there…

 

Savage Garden - To The Moon&Back

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
 
They're saying "Mamma never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
 
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll if you’ll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
 
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
 
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying "Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is like a journey
I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
 
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong…
