So Much Of…
All sorts!!
I am blissfully happy being Mrs Glugster. Seriously. Its ridiculous. The nature of our relationship hasn’t changed much, and our routine is the same except that I am home in the day now, but every now and then something reminds me that I am now married to this wonderful man. Its divine. Our honeymoon was sheer, relaxed bliss. Glorious. I’m working on a series of posts about our wedding that I will publish on my wedding site- Angel’s Weddings- so keep your eyes peeled for those.
I am working flat out on getting “The Cupcake Lady” sorted and started properly. I’m sorting out admin, I have files and printed quotes and invoices and I have a system that should enable me to keep track of quotes and orders, and prevent me from ever forgetting about an order, or not following up on one. This hasn’t happened yet, but I plan on being busy. 
And when I think about all my plans I get this nervous tingle in the pit of my stomach. I have so many ideas… And my darling Glugster has had the brain wave to call my experimentation “beta testing” and offer it as such for sale! I will announce what I have when I test new recipes or ideas, and then it will be available as a sale to whoever wants it, at a slightly “reduced” rate since it may not be perfect! Whaddaya think!? You all wanna be beta testers for The Cupcake Lady!??!
Damien and I being home together all day is definitely a challenge. I will write a more detailed post on this later but right now we’re butting heads almost daily and it breaks my heart. I don’t know how to motivate him or challenge him and its frustrating both of us. But thats a whole post on its own.
My mommy and daddy darling have spent a week away at their timeshare, and my daddy darling has had a really good week. His blood pressure has been good which means he can eat and sleep almost normally. I am so glad their break was a relaxing one. They both have a hectic time with my dad battling with his health and my mommy darling working all day. When they come back, they will also be following up on the possibility of getting him on a transplant list for a kidney. He has already told us, in no uncertain terms, that he will not accept a kidney from any of us. We understand this, but it is a little hard not to be frustrated knowing that one of his children may be a good match… at the same time, with the history of diabetes in our family we may well develop it later in life, and then we’ll need both our kidneys. I am praying he will get on the list and get a transplant quickly, as heartless as that sounds… there are other options, dialysis being the most likely. Its not easy.
This Sunday is my trash-the-dress, or TTD photoshoot with Jeanette Verster! I am looking forward to it immensely! When these photos are done, Jeanette will then start on all the editing and such for our photos. Then begins the laborious process of selecting photos for our designer albums… and I don’t know how we are ever going to choose!! Were her photos not phenomenal!? We were truly lucky to have two such incredible photographers in Jeanette and Kat to cover our wedding day. I simply can’t wait to see them all. We’re building up a wonderful collection of Jeanette Verster DVDs!!
So what are you all up to!?

Glad that you are well. Your wedding looked so wow! And you looked beautiful. Good luck with your new venture.
Welcome back! Glad the honeymoon was good.
I’m up for beta testing! Being at home all day with anyone is challenging (when TSC was on holiday he drove me nuts while I was trying to work and I love him to bits). All the best with finding a way to manage the new dynamics.
Shout if you ever need a break for coffee and a catch-up, now that we’re both our own bosses

MMM…. I would love to be a beta tester – I love cupcakes and love to bake them too when I get the chance!
What blood type is your father? I am AB positive. I am willing to donate if need be. Recently tested – am HIV negative, my iron levels are all normal and all is good…
So please give me a shout if need be…

I so know what you mean with getting things properly set up and ready to run! I’ve got so many things to do and none of them should take an awfully long time but I just don’t have the spare minutes! And yet I *need* to find them because if I don’t, I can’t get going and then I’ll *never* have them because I just won’t be able to afford sending the kids back to school to give me the time to do what I need to do…. It’s a classic catch 22.
So glad you guys are happy & enjoyed your honeymoon!
Totally here for beta testing whenever you need a taster!
.-= MeeA´s last blog ..Ha! =-.
Ag Angel, so happy for you guys. So many exciting things in your future no?!

I am so far behind with post reading, and I was not aware of your dad’s illness – I am truly sorry to hear this. My ex-husband donated his kidney to his brother and my ex-sister in law had her transplant last week, donated by her hubby. I pray that he gets onto a list soon, soon. You are definitely in my prayers and your mum too.

So glad to hear everything is going fantastic, sure the cup cape venture will bloom. I would also like to sign up for Cupcake Lady beta testing. I’m sure things will eventually settle down with Damien. He needs to get used to having you at home, but maybe you should motivate him to find a job – even if it is just part time. I am sure it will do him al lot of good. Your dress was absolutely awesome, whow! Cybelle, I take my hat off to you for being willing to donate a kidney, you rock!!! Thats what I call a real friend!!! Well take care, can’t wait for the next post!
Congratulations Angel!!!!! I am very pleased for you!
Good luck with your venture and enjoy the freedom!
