I'm sorry I suck at blogging
I've done so well for the most of my trip and now I have no excuse...I've just been slacking...and I'm sorry! Today was my last day of work. Through my work I've actually created a new position in the company and I trained the girl today. On Friday we drove 12 hours back from Mussel Bay. It was a great holiday. We were there for 2 and a half weeks! Our villa had a beautiful view of the ocean and you could hear the waves crashing at night. We spent nearly everyday at the beach (including my birthday--it was the first time I ever got sun burn on my birthday!). Other days we went shopping and we went to a strawberry farm one day (Red Berry Farm). We ate like pigs though! Every night we had spaghetti and lamb and steak and chicken and salad and garlic bread and oysters and snails and prawns and fish and champagne and vodka and on and on and on. I don't even like lamb but once I tried the lebanese dish (Kibbeh), which is made of raw lamb and I LOVED it! I also tried snails for the first time which I also loved. My birthday was very nice. They got me cupcakes and sang to me and I got a watch, a cute pink ladies poker set, and Donovan gave me my official engagement ring! It's a trilogy of diamonds that are kind of in the shape of flowers. Needless to say, it's gorgeous! We played poker nearly every night. The first night I won and the last night I tied for first (well, me and donovan split the pot) which was like $150 each! Thank God because we needed to pay for gas to get home! I am enjoying my last week back in Joburg and am flying out as planned, on Thursday. I think I mentioned that I had a phone interview...well I had another one with the account director while I was away and now I have an "in-person" interview on the Monday when I get back! Wish me luck! I can't wait to see everyone! But I am dreading the cold! I will probably upload all my pictures when I get home and do a final blog entry. I can't believe how quickly these past 7 months have gone but I am anxious to get back to "real life", but I'm sure that will pass after like a week of being home...well, anyway, what's everyone doing Saturday night? (LOL I waste no time)
