A Work In Progress

It has been a very odd week. I started the week on holiday, middle of the week at full day customer workshops and ended the week with no voice due to a bad cold. On top of that, I've said goodbye to someone, reconnected with someone and met someone completely new. Not sure what next week had in store, but I hope it is good!

I'm pretty sure I'm dying. I still have to go to work as I have some client meetings I have to attend. They really should throw me some sort of parade given how staunch I am being. And make a statue of me. I hate being sick. :(

Back to the real world tomorrow, but for now I have one more day to relax.

...you make me look gorgeous with your out of focus options. From now on I will only date shortsighted men who don't wear their glasses so I can look like this in real life.

I am lucky enough to be having a short break in the gorgeous South Island. Plus I get to stay with some fabulous friends who I adore. So lets hear it for wine, divine food, hot springs and laughter. I'm a lucky girl.

I have wonderful friend who has just spent two months in the jungles of Cameroon working with Ape Action Africa.  Anyway, she is now chilling out in Nairobi, and trying to figure out when she can head back to do more work with the wonderful animals she met (as shown in the pictures below). Anyway, here is an email I just received from her. I thought you'd get a laugh out of this, just happened now while eating breakfast in the dining room at my hotel I'm reading "Walking with Apes", a book about the lives of Jane Goodall (Chimpanzees), Dian Fossey (Gorillas) and Orangutan lady Birute Galdikas.  This book is pretty dry balls account of there lives and the ape research they were/are involved with, and of course i like it cause i imagine I'll end up like one of them, only not famous, just living with apes, or sleeping on park benches with guys that look like apes.  Anyway, very dry balls, as I'm reading this, the book is talking about Dian Fossey's lack o...

I am very upset. The event I have feared for several months looks like it is coming true. I can no longer find Revlon ColorStay Overtime™ Lipcolor Boundless Brandy. Yes they still have other colours but NOTHING compares to the lovely balance of dusky pink and brown that is Boundless Brandy. It is my signature colour! And now it looks like it has been discontinued and I am very depressed. I am trying to adapt to Always Sienna or Infinite Raspberry, but they just aren't the same. The best I can do is mix the Perennial Plum with Faithful Fawn to get a similar colour, but it still does not get the exact colour that I love. I am now desperately searching on line to see if I can buy it from anywhere in the world.  If that does not work, I will need to start a campaign to bring Boundless Brandy back.  Please let me know if you see it anywhere and buy up large for me!!!
