I love the Internet!

Eons ago, before the net, how did we meet people?

You where compelled to know your nabour, you socialized with your fellow employees and you knew all the moms at your kids school...not being the type that wants to know my nabours (they tend to be nosey) and having only one fellow employee who is a single Muslim male (and very religious, which I am not) my options for a friendship ring decreases quiet a bit!

My husband and I are not social butterflies, as the only way to meet people of our age in SA is going to clubs or church. Like I said I'm not a religious person so church is out and we can't stand the noise in clubs. So we fell into a nice comfortable life with enough friend to count on one hand. It really never bothered us, we had all we needed in each other, friendship, companionship and love.

Then one day I stumbled upon a Internet game... and got hooked in about 10 seconds... I have in the last month and a half met people from all over the world! People that I would never, never, never have met if it wasn't for the net. Here, in a place so unexpected I have met friends, people who I can talk to without judgement. People who live separate life's to mine, who can't overstay there welcome, who can laugh at themselves and at life.

How could I explain the joy of knowing that even if life goes horrid for me, I can just hop on the net and go and talk to people about totally unrelated things to get my mind off it.

I love the net!

Naughty me

Naughty naughty me! Soo sorry I have neglected my blog horribly!

But I have been on a yo-yo ride for the last couple of weeks...

First my laptop broke down and it took forever to get it fixed.

Second is that my son Triston decided that he wants his maulers and he wants them NOW... it took 3 weeks for one of these monsters to come out and then over night there was 3 of the big buggers!!! My hart bled for him, he looked like someone had stuck smarties (like M&M's) in his gums and he was soooo miserable for the entire 3 weeks it took for them to come out.

He now has a grand total of 11 teeth. And he is a sunshine child yet again, with a smile to match any sunrise. And boy o boy is he growing up to fast, he's 17 months now and has been wearing clothes for 18-24 from 15 months. It's not because his obese his just so tall, he really takes after his father more and more every day. He's vocabulary is also increasing daily he can now ask for his food...kossies, his tee...teeeeee, his milk...mimi and his bath...badda! Well that is as close to what he says as i can get but we know what he is saying and he says it with meaning :)

I'll try my best not to neglect my blog for so long again...
