The Other Job

When Alison lived with us she had a small job where she would go to 4 shops in Dunedin and count the jewelry and fax the amounts to a company called Aquarius Design.  Before Alison left Dunedin she asked me if I would like to have this little pocket money maker.  I thought it doesn't sound too big a task and I can always do with extra pocket money.  So I have been doing this job on the side and its been fun sometimes.

Once a month count the jewelery at 3 shops and all but 2 shops have a fantastic setup it only takes me 30minutes to count and rearrange things.  However one shop takes me about 3hours and I always have to start from scratch its very frustrating.  Here are my before and after pics.

Messy and disorganised

Start from scratch

Finished stand

The one thing that annoys me and I question? Why do customers take the jewelery off the display stand and then put it back somewhere else???

Let it Grow

For 2 years and 8 months I have waited patiently to put a hair tie in Kates hair.  It maybe little, nevertheless its still a very cute pigtail.  With hair up we went out for brunch.  As we sat up at the table all lady like the waitress approaches our table "hello would your boy like a cushion to sit on"?  I shook my head with disbelief and corrected her.  Come on how many boys wear a top with cute strawberries on it. Unbelievable!!!!!  I look forward to Kate's pigtail developing into a pony tail and whats more awesome her hair is curly super duper cute!!!

Pride/Proud is there a Difference?

So the other day I was talking to someone and they asked me about my house and did I like it etc.  I replied by saying I loved the house and how Dave did a great job etc and then I said I'm really proud of him.  To which the so called person replied you can't be proud of your husband, pride is a sin.  I was somewhat puzzled by this and so I asked them "so what should I say instead" Conclusion I am well pleased with my husband. I'm still not sure about this what do my readers think????

I quiet often tell Nicholas and Kate that I am proud of them, am I wrong?
