A not-so-midweek update :)

Be very careful of what you wish for. I wished, I anticipated a quiet and slow week and that was exactly what I got. I was down with bad headache half of the week, very bad headache. The ones that sits on the base of your skull, and also rests on one of your eyes. Yeah, I know.. OUCH! OUCH! So I spent every possible moment inside my dark, cool 'cave'. Thank God for sweet daughters who took care of me. It was very quiet in my 'cave', and certainly very slow for me to do anything because every step was like something exploding in my head.

Then on Thursday, I had to bring Nidhi to her follow up appointment, which went well. We were given an open date, only to come again if there is anything wrong. I really hope, fingers and toes crossed, prayers going up 'there', that absolutely nothing will happen and the cheeky princess will live happily ever after. (don't we all wish that for our children) *grins*

After the appointment, I went to my usual salon at the Little India. Had my eyebrow tamed, which makes me happy coz believe me, my eyebrows are as crazy as my hair. Then, i picked up my bag to go and pay and what happen? I was stung by a bee! On my thumb!

How in the world did the bee get to be on my bag ( I assume it was on my bag coz it stung me when I reached for the handle), I have no idea. Darn, it was so painful I almost cried. The girl at the salon did a good job of removing the *whatever* it was that was left on my thumb. And I drove home with a swollen thumb, at this point, my heart is still happy though, coz my eyebrows are pretty. Ha-ha-ha!!

Btw, little bee, just FYI, I don't blame you. You're only acting on instincts and probably thought I was some kind of monster, trying to kill/crush/do whatever to hurt you. So sorry I flung you to wherever it was, I couldn't find you afterwards. I tried, but you were no where to be found.

Is this post boring? LOL! Sorry... but my sisters, they read this blog and they love reading this kind of thing. *Hi Girls..!!*

I have one layout to share though. One simple layout to document - Porcupine :D No fancy techniques or elaborate layering here. Just wanna scrap those photos.

Porcupine

Porcupine.
He is this rubbery, very very pinkish purple, spiky little thing.
We bought him for $2 at Clementi.
I must say it was a $2 well spent.
You loved him like nothing else.
You barely let others touch him.
He was yours and yours alone.
You really made the most of the two days he was with us.
RIP Porcupine. 13.01.2008-15.01.2008

Those googley eyes, totally inspired by G-man and his beautiful mom, Doris. heeheee...

Well, well, I'm off to pick up a parcel from the post office, then late breakfast with Neha. Laters, beautiful people.

Hi Sasha! I hope that you are feeling much better by now :) Your hair and eyebrows look great to me and I can hardly imagine them ever giving you a hard time!

Amelie has porcupines like this too! She loved them even more when she found out her little sister and the baby sitter are afraid of them: 'what a great weapon', she must have thought...!

Hey Sasha! What a week you've been having. Migraines and bee stings and sick kiddos....yikes. Sounds like things are starting to look up, though, right?
Love your cute page. Great photo arrangement. That porcupine reminds me of an orange one like that that my DS is attached to. So far, though, his has lasted a bit longer!
