St Paddy’s day

So there is nothing Irish about me, maybe part of my surname but that’s it. This does not stop me from sharing my five favourite green things in honour of the day ๐Ÿ™‚

I love green grapes I have gone whole days eating nothing but grapes, yum

I love the feel of (clean) grass under my feet I could sit in a field for hours, really could

Green shoes, I have a pair in this colour (gift from my dad) mine are not boots just pointy heels, I didnt have a pic so I am just sharing colour

I love rich nail polish and this green is SUPER NICE

My pretty green guitar, I can’t play it and it’s not even home at the moment, but I love that thing, so stunning!

I bet I’m not the only one…

I’m finally out of bed after 20 min of trying wake up and bargaining with myself “You can sleep extra few minutes if you eat breakfast at work”, “You can lay here longer if you can figure out a way to brush your teeth and your hair at the same time”.
I’ve been known to employ other cheats during the day and I bet I’m not the only one who…

– has painted only the toes you can see when wearing peep toes.
– has shaved only the part of the leg you can actually see.
– has perfected the art of putting on make-up on the go.
– puts heels in bag till you reach destination because not everyday is a running on heels kinda day.
– convinced myself that a yogi sip is a balanced meal.
– wet my hair because styling is too much trouble.
– worn a scarf because yet again styling is too much trouble.
– convinced myself that I’m not getting cold so I don’t need a jacket when truth is I’m to lazy to go back for one.
– eaten straight out of the Tupperware because cleaning plates is too much of a shlep.
– only bake the day before cleaning lady comes, again because of dishes.

…. The list goes on, but don’t want you to loose ALL respect for me

What I love today

1. Pasta for breakfast, not a everyday thing, but oooh so yummy once in a blue moon, to the chef, RYAN YOU ROCK!!!!!

2. chocolate cake for dessert in the morning, who says you can’t have dessert in the morning, huh huh huh

3. Waking up in a guilt free, who cares about calories, life it great mood— I pity the fool who messes with that

4. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny, because it actually does what it promises, used some of my friend’s (ja ja Robyn you were right)  this morning and will be rushing out to buy my own. Now Paul Mitchell can move in next to Marc Anthony (for when I wear hair curly) and Tony and Guy (for straightening) — many men in my bathroom, hehe
5. Reviewing books because, you get to read the book, tell people what you think and keep the book ๐Ÿ™‚ Books and shoes are my things at the moment they fighting for dominance in my bedroom.
6. knowing that it is only 15 days till I get my husband back, feels like forever ago that he was selected for detective training and we had to adjust to a year apart now its almost time to start annoying each other again ๐Ÿ˜‰

Random quiz

Found this rather weird list of questions so I thought why not – some of the questions are just plain strange (pictures are just random off the net)

1)   Which adult person around you do you want to convert into a baby?
I think Malema and then I’d make his mom hug him more, maybe he’d be a nicer person.

2)   Would you like to step into the shoes of Gulliver in โ€˜Gulliverโ€™s Travelsโ€™?
Being bigger than every one is a novel idea, so yes, but not for too long, they don’t make sushi that big or cute clothes.

3)   What would you like to be- a werewolf or a vampire and why?
I don’t want to be super hairy and I don’t want to sparkle, so can I be like a fairy instead? thanx.

4)   Choose your birthday gift- a tail or a pair of horns?
why can’t I have wings ๐Ÿ™ but if I have to choose I’d say a tail like marusupilami that can do things, horns would just be annoying
 

 
5)   If you were Harry Potter, then who would you inflate?
A bunch of people, I’m easily annoyed

6)  Where would you prefer to hang out- on the clothesline or the tree?
As much as I love clothers I do not see the point of hanging on a clothes line, unless it helps me catch the people who have been stealing my clothes

7)  Which toy of yours do you want to come alive?
Barbie dream house and car – You must be smart about these things

8) If you were to be born again, then what animal do you want to be?
Oprah’s puppy, lol

That was quite random, hehe
Have a great Thursday all and thankyou again to the nice girl who brought back my phone

Blast from the past

So I went to say hey to my parents and got roped into clearing out some boxes I had left in my old room, here are some of my finds. I AM SUCH A HOARDER!

1 – a crate full of fashion mags, I have loads more.
2 – a whole collection of notebooks I used since starting journalism, can't even remember most of the stories.
3 – hot water curlers which I never quite got the hang of mostly because my hair is 80% quantity 20% quality.
4 – a book I received with my first computer, I remember it was a single unit with a green screen.
5 – couldn't begin to guess what is on this.
6 – a nude bra, I stopped wearing this when I was interviewing one of the heads of MAC (how cool is that) and bra fell off into my top (how uncool is that)
7 – primary school diary that proves I have always been a drama queen and I could never spell,lol

Me Moment

These are ten random facts about me…things that are odd, but make me me (10 out of a billion)
1. I snort when I laugh, some people find it annoying, some find it adorable I find it super embarrasing (and it adds to my likeness to Ugly Betty way to much), but trying to stop just makes it worse.
2. I always think my zip might be down seriously I do more fly checks than would be considered normal.
3. I talk to myself ALL THE TIME, its like I’m narrating the story of my life, sad aint it. (Might be why I’m so tired all the time, its like I’m living my life twice)
4. I act like I’m on a cooking show when I cook, an extension of number 3.
5. I often get sad and I can be moody as hell.
6. I love kids, but the idea of an actual human being squatting in you for nine  months freaks me out.
7. I’m deadly shy, like people looking at me makes me sick to my stomach.
8.  In contrast to 7, I like attention, but only when it’s positive so “Nice song Eleanor” beats “Eleanor your zip is down” hahaha
9. Afrikaans is actually my home language , but somewhere along the line I started to sound a bit too much like I was talking to a 5-year-old so I prefer English
10. I complain A LOT, but truth is I wouldn’t trade my life with anyone else’s ๐Ÿ™‚
