Lil angels: Tay

Leave a comment

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my 2-year-old “niece” Taylor the cutest little thing with the wildest imagination-she actually acts like she cant see, hear or speak if you “take” her eyes/ears/mouth and will continue the game until you give it back and she “replaces it” (surprised her mom let her hang out with Rob and I  again after we accidentally gave her too much sugar and had her running through the supermarket like a defective wind up toy calling out the names of random products). She is one of my five little angels (along with Kameron, Kirsten, Janice and Zoey) and can always cheer me up. So yesterday after she accused me of being the worst imaginary tennis player (I kept missing this ball that doesn’t exist) she comes up to me with one of the little denim gingerbread dolls I made her (yes I’m THAT nerdy) telling me “look the boy cant see” and when I asked her why not, she sweetly replied, “his eyes are in my mouth” so after making her spit them out and promise not to abuse the doll again I fixed it while she went around asking what every little thing in my room was. Rob then comes in and banging his head he says “fucken door” which was fine until Tay sweetly asks, “Fucken what?” we had our work cut out for us to try and divert that one (we might be off the baby sitting list again) but anyway she’s too cute even when she comes to you and says, “My bum is wet, change me” (she is potty trained, but wears diapers at night).
but hey I really love kids specially the kind who go back to mom when you are done playing 😉

I don’t think anyone is truly happy with their looks,not 100% anyway.
I know stunning girls, working as models, who would love a little nip, tuck,inflate or deflate. On my own list of things to change (way before I cared about my weight) were my lips.


They were way too big (Angelina Jolie envy was not big when I was growing up and I read even she thought she resembled a muppet).

Training starts

Leave a comment

So turns out I can’t enter the race 🙁 my cousin is getting married that morning and there is no way I can fit a race into the day.
I decided this won’t change my training as I want to be able to run 5km straight out by then. I know this sounds rather easy,but running has never been a talent of mine.
So I have enlisted the help of “the husband” and this seems to be a win, lose situation.
Win because its nice to have someone to be accountable to and to push you when you wanna give up and lose because I recon all his experience doing basic training army/fire dept/police has rendered him unsymphathetic to the plight of the chronically unfit.
I was half expecting him to call me Maggot as he watched me puffing along while he played time keeper and later when I practically passed out on lounge floor there were no pep talks, just him asking me not to use all the hot water for my shower before stepping over me on his way to kitchen. (You’d think he’d be nicer after almost giving me a blue eye in squash the previous day).
Atleast he made me tea later…Anyway that’s day one gone, wish me luck 🙂

I Asked Hein

Leave a comment

So my friend Hein has been answering some “interesting” questions on the
blog for the last couple of weeks and this time I decided to ask a few
questions of my own. (very random)

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?I am the eldest child in my family so no I was the first to be named

WHICH SUPER HERO DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?Initially like all geeks who grew up in the 80’s I idolised Superman but
lying in the driveway with a sprained ankle, towel around my neck and
undies over my pants I realized I can never actually be him. I was
18 at the time.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH?Between 1 and 2pm, didn,t realize there are others.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?One yes. Riley the magnificent boy wonder. My wife and I made him.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?All my friends say yes I would (this a verrry clever answer, take your
time…)

DO YOU USE SARCASM ALOT?
Nah I prefer swearing, much less confusing, simple, direct and more
fuc%@&$ effective

WHAT IS THE MOST ADVENTUROUS THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE?Swear my mother…silently…while walking away.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?Jack The Ripper because to this day he has never been caught, his
identity remains a mystery ,and he had class and precision in his
killing style…oh u mean porridge…ohhhkayy uhm… Jungle Oats?

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?No I stare at them till they willfully cowar off my feet.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?See previous answer

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNACK?Popcorn for sure…otherwise popcorn even when Im not sure

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE ?If they are not alien; an alien will not know the basics of being human
like walking using one foot in front of the other, using your mouth to
talk or breathing oxygen…be on the lookout for human-looking like
creatures who hop on one leg, talk with their minds and breath farts,
chances are its an alien.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?I can be very indecisive…no wait…I’m not sure…. yes, yes
indecisive it is

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE ?What’s with all these food question?? Ok I’m fat yes, now can we get on

IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?Blue, no red, no wait black…no wait…am I able to question my own
existence as a crayon?

FAVORITE SMELLS?I don’t know, who is he? (only to be understood in a South African
context where we have people named Patience, Holy, Gift, Prominent
etc.)

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?My mom, she foned me from hospital, just admitted. After work I intend
to go straight to her house and jump on the beds, put my feet on the
coffee table, drink juice out the container and chew with my mouth open.
One must seize every oppertunity given.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?In recent times soccer, at school it was Netball lying on our tummys on
the grass next to the court by the hoop. This made me somewhat of an
expert in women’s lingerie.

FAVORITE FOOD?Next question please!

My fave show : The Big Bang Theory

Leave a comment
I’m a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig The Big Bang Theory Fan, I even follow the characters (not actors) on Twitter, been watching it a lot lately so I thought I’d share some of my fave quotes followed by pics of the boys looking unnerdy :)





Penny: (On the phone) We’re putting the play on for one night in this little 99-seat theater. Can you come? Oh great! Do you know 98 other people that might want to come?



Sheldon: (To Leonard)  I think that you have as much of a chance of having a sexual relationship with Penny as the Hubble Telescope does of discovering that in the center of every black hole there’s a little man with a flashlight searching for a circuit breaker.



Leonard: (To Sheldon) Sometimes your movements are so life like I forget you are not a real boy.



Rajesh : (To Leaonard) Excuse me but I don’t think Penny is out of line at all. You don’t own her. It’s like my girl Beyonce says: If you like you should’ve put a ring on it.
Wolowitz: Love is not a sprint, it’s a marathon, a relentless pursuit that only ends when she falls into your arms – or hits you with the pepper spray.
And away from the Big Bang universe: (Raj cleans up best in my opinion)
