Pressed For Time ...

The past couple of days has been real crazy for me and I didn't have much time to mess with my blog or even visit anyone. Since Monday, I've been working non-stop. It's been one job after another and every one of them was urgent. I even had to go to work on Tuesday which was a holiday (even though it was for half a day).

There I was nicely sleeping in on Tuesday morning and I get a text message from my client about something that they MUST have today cos they need it for an event the very same night! Oh boy, that put a damper on my holiday. You should have seen my mood on Tuesday, it was so dark, it made the colour black look brighter in comparison! Well, at least it didn't take the whole day. I still had the afternoon off and I spent it wisely by taking a nice long 2 hour nap ... LOL!

Then yesterday when I was still positively, absolutely busy, my car refuses to cooperate and starts acting up and I had to take it back to my good old (soon to be ex) mechanic and get him to fix the same problem he just fixed again for the third time! Once again I had to leave my car and use his loaner, this time a van, which was equally if not worse than the other loaner he gave me! By the time the day was over I was so stress and pissed off that even wifey kept her distance from me ... hehehe ...

Anyway, all that aside, things are pretty quiet today (and hopefully it stays that way). At least it gives me time to catch up on all your blogs out there and get some sponsored postings done at the same time. Not that I have many assignments waiting, mind you. It's a little slow in the assignment section for me the past week. I'll just have to keep looking I guess.

Christmas is drawing closer and wifey and me still have not completed all our gift buying yet. We bought quite a bit already for my mom, nephew and nieces but still short of a few. We couldn't find what we were looking for so we kept it aside for this weekend. I still have to go around settling the menu for the Christmas dinner. Got a general idea of what we're having, just need to go order it, that's all. Yes, we're ordering quite a bit. Too lazy too cook for Christmas. We're planning for a nice traditional Christmas menu, that is if I can find some places out there offering any.

My mom is cooking some dishes though, and she's making our traditional Eurasian devil curry dish, which is one of my favourites though it's bloody spicy (I can't really take spicy food) but I can't resist the devil curry! My cousin's will be bringing some stuff too though I'm not really sure what but I know there will be shepherds pie on the menu from one of them. Wifey wants to get a cheese cake from Sheraton which she's tasted before at one of my nephews birthday party but my cousin recommended someone to her which she says makes better cheese cake than Sheraton, so we'll be going to check this guys cheese cake out this weekend and order one.

Then this Saturday night, the carolers are coming over. Need to go and also get some stuff for them, drinks and light snacks and things like that. My mom is an active member of the neighbourhood church group and she's in the caroling group too. My younger boy will be joining the caroling with my mom on Saturday and I hope he behaves himself. He can be a handful at times. But then, he listens to my mom more than he does to me and wifey, so I guess he'll be fine. I guess we'll be going out to get stuff again tonight after I'm home from work. So many things to do with so little time to do it with. Maybe I'll try to get off work earlier today if nothing crops up by lunch time.

Then this weekend I still have my snowman to make, which my younger boy has been bugging me every single minute hes sees me asking me this same question over and over again:

'You making snowman today? No? Tomorrow? No? Then when?'

And he repeats that over and over again every few minutes. That is one boy you can never tell anything cos he'll bug you until you get it done ... LOL! I guess if I don't get it up by this weekend, he's gonna incite a riot in my house. Maybe if I'm not too tired I'll try to get it up tomorrow night.

And since I've been talking about Christmas which is the season for giving and receiving, I'd like to thank a few people who has given me a few awards. Some has been quite long and I apologise for taking so long to put it up (just blame it on my lazy genes ... LOL).

First of, Syura has awarded me two awards quite long ago which is the True Blue and Best Blogging Buddies Award. Thanks Syura, I'm honoured to get 2 from you.

The next is from Lena, one of my new readers and she so generously awarded me the Egel Nest Award, thanx Lena.

And finally, the latest one is from Shemah. She gave me the Funny Blogger Award which of course I'm thrilled to get. I'll try to live up to the award ... LOL! And if there is any that I've forgotten, please accept my sincerest apologies, k?
