Head and Neck Talk

Pen is finally back from yet another one of his business trips. The best thing is he has returned bearing gifts for me! Erm, I mean next best thing to actually seeing him of course.

On another note, I came across a saying from wise old Lydia, which made a huge impression on me. We were on the topic of mandarin oranges and how Pen peels the skin off for me every time. And to that, the !Kung bushwoman says...

“Hence, the husband is the head of the household but truly, the wife is the neck.”

How true.

And in tribute to that, I have put together a little visual.

But of course, having said that, I'm still a firm believer of God's instructions - "Husbands, love your wives" and "Wives, respect your husbands".

Addicted to Jewellery

I was in jewellery heaven yesterday when Pen took me to Thousand Island Dressing at New Farm after church. My workmates told me I could find heaps of gorgeous AND affordable jewellery there and I've been salivating ever since.

After days of anticipation, you can imagine how mesmerised I was when I finally stepped into the shop. There were shelves and shelves of earrings, necklaces and bracelets, arranged according to colour and racks with bags of all shapes and sizes. Hee hee! I lost count of how many times I "oohed" and "ahhed" as I pranced around the shop.

Needless to say, Pen was the only male "customer" there. He was really patient and quietly followed me around the shop. When he got bored, he politely excused himself - once to get money out of the ATM and once to get a drink.

After touching and trying on every other second thing in the shop, I emerged a happy customer, adding a charm bracelet, a matching necklace and two pairs of earrings to my accessories collection! Which I must add, Pen generously paid for.

Ahhh...the joys of being married... :)
