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 🙂

Ask Hein

– A friend of mine,Hein Brown, does a rather funny "advice column" personally I'm torn between finding him funny and wondering what goes on in his head… Funny usually wins here is some of his latest advice:

Alotta people(those that live in my head) have told me I'm good at
dispensing advice, wanted or not, so here is my very own advice
column: Ask Hein(me of course)

CONCERNED MOTHER writes: Dear Hein we have a 15 year old son whom we
think might be in the closet. He enjoys women's clothing and especially
my shoes. What do we do?
DEAR CONCERNED, what kinda parent are you that you can't keep track of your children? Go to your room and check, if not
then he might be under the bed, you know how children love to play hide and seek. Frankly I don't blame him for trying on your clothes, being stuck in a closet really can be boring and your clothes may be his only source of entertainment.

SIR NEARLY HEADLESS NICK
writes: Dear Hein, u may remember me from the Harry Potter movies as the
'nearly headless ghost'…well that's why I'm writing u see. For centuries I have been ridiculed for my deformity and have come to seek your advice on the matter.
ANSWER: Well Sir Nick, firstly amazing performance and it's
uncanny how much u resemble John Cleese. As a ghost u know that u are bound to spend eternity with that problem so my only advice would be to accept it. Face it head on, get your head out the gutter and ask yourself, how are you headed to success? Be
headstrong and remember to always keep head above water.

So I’m determined to see the non blue in this, Monday where I have flu, found out I gained even more weight(I speak about weight a lot for someone who is so over it,lol) and am slightly behind in my work.
People keep telling me to stop and smell the roses (I rather don’t sinus issues and all) I know they mean take time out to appreciate what you have so I thought about it and right now at this very minute, loved ones not included this is a list of things I’m thankful for right off the top of my head.

Here goes:

1. Chocolate cake brought to you by friends who just thought of you (thanx Thulani) even though she gave it to me and said she’d rather have me have the calories.

2. Shoes given to me by someone who understands how difficult it is to find size 3s (thanx Rochelle) thank goodness they did not fit you-just saying.

3. The untag button on fb when people tag you looking like someone inflated, electrocuted you and beat you up.

4. Instant oats – this is probably going to change I’m funny with breakfast food one moment I will offer my undying devotion to cheerios and tomorrow I’ll rather eat my mouse pad.

5. Good news: Some really great people got their dream house, so happy for them, I love it when people who deserve something good in their lives, gets it.

6. My blackberry mainly cause I update my blog from there and check twitter and fb and my emails, you know if it cooked and cleaned I’d marry it, but since it does not, I’ll keep the husband (love you baby)

7. Pay days – which it will be tomorrow and then it’ll go faster than “fat free” cake at a dieter’s meeting.

8. My own little nest to fly home too, ok so it’s more like a rather large garden cottage and I don’t fly as much as a board a train, but you get the gist.

9. My mom’s cooking because I can eat there when my cupboard starts to resemble that of Mrs Hubbard.

10. My calendar which shows that in only six weeks the husband is back home (out of town detective training) he has been away for a year and its about time.

I love this poem

This is one of my favourite poems, it was written by American Sam Levenson. It was one of Audrey Hepburn’s favourites and is often attributed to her, but truth is Sam wrote it for his grandchild and Audrey often read it to her own children.

Time tested beauty tips
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
