Seems the good habits are really easy to break. If I skip a couple of days blogging it’s easy to miss whole weeks. Getting my google analytics report in those weeks is a bit sad.

So what’s been up in the world of Alex? Well, my car broke. I have probably the worst car Karma of anyone I know. Don’t ever lend me your car, I’ll break it. But hey, it’s all fixed now, so we shall move on and pretend like that didn’t happen.

I rode a bull. I haven’t told my horse in case he gets jealous. Each month the new recruits at my place of work have to throw some sort of party for the company to introduce themselves. The last bunch were pretty creative with a cowboy theme complete with Mechanical bull. Figuring that an opportunity like that doesn’t coma around too often I just had to try it, and it was great fun. It’s surrounded by an inflated jumping castle type thingy, so you can’t hurt yourself falling off, which was pretty cool.

There was no official time limit and no competition, and the dude operating the controls was quite sweet about starting you off slowly. If you showed any talent at actually staying on, he cranked it up a bit. That said, I think I faired pretty well. On my second attempt I stayed on for a full minute and 6 seconds! Whooohoo! and did the most graceful dismount of the evening, landing on my feet.

There are photo’s which I may or may not publish. Haven’t decided yet.

Hunny & I made a pretty cool discovery yesterday. Cedar Square shopping center. If you live around Fourways this probably won’t be news to you. More to the point, the Mica superstore there is the coolest one ever. It has a similar range to Builders Warehouse (complete with fairly large gardening section) but about double the floorspace of your average Builders. Way cool, could have wandering around there for ages if the mucus in my sinuses was weighing me down (Yeah, friggin sick again – first time ever I think I’ve had two colds in one winter and it really sucks, or blows. Except it doesn’t actually blow, it just sits there going green and refusing to be blown out).

We got some cool lime green paint for the spare bedroom, and some more sedate “Labrador sands 3″ – it’s a stone colour – for the main bedroom. Did the spare room today, looks really great. Will do the main bedroom this weekend and them we’ll be sorted. No more white walls in the house. We like colour, every room will be a different colour. Mushroom kitchen, Avo green Family room & half dining area, Pale Yellow passage, Orange Study and Lime spare room so far. The passage used to look pretty bright until you saw it leading into the lime green room. Now it looks pretty pale. All the colour will probably detract future buyers, but we’re not looking to sell anytime soon, so I’m not bothered.

Cheers all, and (all SA readers) have a great Woman’s day on Thursday.
