Budget babe: Splash fest

So at this year's splash festival I was issued a challenge (read: order) by the husband to not spend more than R50(food not included) because apparently I don't need more junk (says him-I like junk) anyway I took up the challenge for two reasons, 1. I like a challenge 2.I'm like constantly broke so bargain buying is nothing new.
Anyways here is what I got:

– A mood ring that actually looks like a fancy teardrop shaped costume ring, but it changes colour (currently trying to remain calm because I like the blue) all this for R15

– Then I got a pair of handmade wire earrings, very Art Deco meets cheap wire, I think they rock for only R20

– Then I had R15 and no idea what to buy, Rob suggested a hair clip because the sea air and I we're not being friends. I smacked him against his head and instead got a cupcake for R10 and even had R5 left for car guard, hehehe

Hair raising story

I really want my long curly mess of hair back, when I was younger I hated how it was just so much damn hair and took forever to style. Now I realise I just didn’t know what the heck I was doing and I let other people’s opinions override my own now I’d like a do-over.

Those who know me well are probably rolling their eyes at this because I’m known for doing all kinds of random things with my hair and being too scissor happy to wait for it to grow, but this time I’m trying my best, I even bought a bunch of clips and things to keep my hair under control while I wait. Truth be told this is latest in a range of hair experiments as you can see below

Penguin quotes

The Husband is off sick, shame I feel both sorry for him cause he looks rather ill and jealous of him cos he is at home and can watch all the cartoons he wants, I’d watch The Penguins of Madagascar, those guys crack me up, heres why:

Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private seem just like four cute penguins living in the Central Park Zoo but they are actually an elite strike force with unmatched commando skills & secret headquarters

Skipper: I don’t like it. What do you make of it, Kowalski?
Kowalski: I’m not sure, Skipper. It could be anything.
Skipper: Oh really? Could it be Alaska?
Kowalski: Nooo… Its probably not A…
Skipper: Are you saying that Alaska might be stuck upside down to the clock tower of my zoo?
Kowalski: I guess…
Skipper: Because I think people would notice if the entire state of Alaska just packed up and moved to the zoo.
Kowalski: Alright! Maybe it couldn’t be anything!
Rico: Wuuh.
Skipper: I’m sorry, boys. I sometimes resort to sarcasm when facing the unknown.
Kowalski: No duh.

Hornet: Hey! Who pokes things? You like poke? I sting your face!
Kowalski: It appears to be a hornet’s nest, Skipper.
Hornet: Ooh, you vin prize! You know vat prize is? I sting your face!
Skipper: Easy, stingtail. We don’t want any trouble. We’re just questioning your choice of locale.
Hornet: I have question for you. Knock knock.
Skipper: Who’s there?
Hornet: I sting your face!

Skipper: Ah, King Julien. I believe I owe you some words.
Kowalski: In random order, they are: told, I, so, you.
Skipper: Allow me to unscramble.

Private: I don’t think he’s buying it, Skipper.
Skipper: Enough with the smoke and mirrors! It’s time we started acting like penguins!
Private: But all we know is the smile-and-wave routine. What else do penguins do?
Skipper: I don’t have the faintest.

Kowalski: Once you escape to the sewer, find an aligator named Roger and give him this secret code phrase: “Help me, oh, help me. Please, please help me. For the sweet love of mother mercy, please help me escape the animal control agent that’s chasing me.” He’ll know what it means.

Skipper: Kowalski, options.
Kowalski: A strategic retreat, Skipper?
Skipper: Explain.
Kowalski: It’s like running away but manlier.
Skipper: Execute.

King Julien: Why are you eyeing my delicious thighs and robust rump? Wait. You are not going to ransom me. You are going to eat me! Eat me if you must, but I will give you terrible indigestion, and gas unlike any ever!
