Mission Log 23 January 2010
Our first mission was today.
We all converged at Head Quarters. All except one who was almost taken down earlier this morning by the evils of General Migraine. As Lady K's luck would have it, Captain Myprodol was at her side and her recovery was swift.
While she was recovering, Lady A and Lady J accompanied me to a potential maker of suitable robes. Needless to say we shall keep looking.
Once done there the two Wonder Women were dropped off at HQ to meet with Lady K while I travelled swiftly to my torture session. It would seem that the trio had much to discuss in my absence. I dare not ask as I fear it may be too much to even consider what plans they may have!
We met up again at the future Hall of Celebrations hoping to eat and be merry while planning the final mission which is only nine months away. Unfortunately we are unable to feast there as the Hall was being prepared for another team's celebration. We did some reconnaissance so that our plans could be put into action more effectively. And then we were off to find sustenance to regain our strength.
It has been a very successful day with many an interesting word spoken. Our team is a strong one. A team to be reckoned with. Already the friendships are strongly forged.
I shall report again soon. For now, I must attend to more planning.

The Wonder Women
I wonder if it's too early to actually start planning so intensely for the wedding. Not that I have much time to do too much at the moment. There should be some sort of list of "things to do", but I haven't actually set one up yet. Kinda taking it moment for moment.
This Saturday I'm going to take my Wonder Women to see a dress maker. After that I'm going to have myself tortured at my beautician while my Wonder Women will start getting to know each other better and perhaps st
art plotting some weird and wonderful things. See, the leader of my Wonder Women trio has constant moments of weird and wonderful ideas and will undoubtedly put them into full use given the opportunity. That's why she is the best friend in the whole world and why I love her so much.
Once I get back from my torture session, I will fetch the Wonder Women and off we shall go in my sexy beast of a car to the venue for lunch. This is going to be an opportunity for us to really get a feel for the place and see what we can do to make the Big Day totally gorgeous! So I'll be throwing out the few ideas I have and seeing if they've got some to share too :)
I really want the four of us to be able to sit down together on the evening and feel like something has been cemented between us. That our friendships have been taken to another level. I have this vision in my head of the four of us dancing and singing to loud music on the dance floor that night, with tears of laughter falling down our immaculately made up faces (one way to test the quality of the make up used).
I also have other visions in my head of that evening, but I'll tell you about those later ;)

A New Year Begins...
Well, 2010 is in full swing and the journey into this new decade has begun. But before I get onto what I'm getting up to this year, I need to tell you what happened in December...
It must have been at about 3am on 12 December 2009 and I just couldn't sleep ... frustrating as hell! So I finished the book I had been reading. I forget which one now since there have been a few over the last few weeks. Eventually it was a decent enough hour and I called my friends Colleen (in Madagascar) and Megan to say happy birthday. Finally my delight woke up and we got ready for a nice day out. We took a leisurely drive over the Helshoogte pass and decided to make a stop at the crocodile farm. Went on a little tour of the premises with a guide - very interesting, definitely want to take the kids there. After that we made our way over to Boschendal for a very romantic picnic lunch. We found our table and took in the beauty around us. Once we ordered our drinks, Gareth toddled off to fetch my camera from the car. Once he got back he sat down and said something that made my heart leap!
... "I want to ask you a question...."
Yip! He popped the question right there as we sat under the shade of the trees on the lawn surrounding Boschendal. I was totally GOBSMACKED! We had spoken about it before, so I knew it would happen one day. Just didn't know when. ...And there it was!!! He chose the most beautiful ring for me! And no, I didn't have anything to do with the choice at all - this just shows how well he knows me!
Oh, and I said yes, just in case you were still wondering :)
So, now we were officially engaged and we started looking for a wedding venue...
OMG what a shock! The prices are HORRIFIC!!! Its almost as if most of these venues are charging rates for those lucky few who fly in from overseas and can afford it. The one place we went to was charging an entry price of R65000 for an evening wedding! Its sad and somewhat insane.
Well anyway, after a few weeks of searching we found the spot. And that led to getting the date set :) :) :)
We've now paid the deposit and the date is set. We're trying to keep the wedding small and rather spend the money we would have on a big wedding on the honeymoon instead! Of course that means a lot of people won't be able to join us on the actual day, but we'll make a plan to celebrate with them when we get back from honeymoon :D
Right now I'm getting my bridesmaids organised to go show them the venue so that they can help me with some of the details ... heaven knows I could use the help. We've just organised an engagement get together to celebrate.
Someday soon I'll put a pic of the ring on here and some pics of the engagement gathering.
Keep you posted!
