If you ever have a slow day at work there are two fabulous things to make it better.
1. Go out for a latte; and
2. Read other people’s blogs.
Since I’m going out for a latte later, the blog updates have definitely come in handy. I just peaked over at Mrs C’s blog and she has been posting some great stuff that I will now shamelessly steal and post as my own.
So here are my 20 questions!
1. I don’t really think I can manage _______________ today.
Another guy’s hissy fits. They’re worse than girls sometimes.
2. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
The milo cereal. Mmmmm.
3. Share some recent good news.
We are moving out. Apart from that, my skin has cleared up.
4. What was the last movie you saw? What did you think of it?
The Hangover. Hilarious and full of hotties.
5. If you had to, could you do commentary for a sporting event?
Definitely. I’d do it for a soccer game. Talking about boys in shorts, I’d be fantastic.
6. What makes you feel better when you're sick?
Lots of sleep and watching the movie Footloose whilst sipping a chocholate Steri Stumpie.
7. What do you listen to in the car?
This morning it was Keane and then some Air Supply.
8. What were the last five foods you ate?
Milo cereal, chocolate, chicken schnitzel, baked potato and sweet corn
9. Who was your first prom date?
Suppose our equivalent was the matric dance and then it was my gay best friend.
10. What was your first grade teacher's name?
Mrs Correira. She teaches my niece now.
11. How many weddings have you been in?
4 but always as a flower girl. I’d cry if I was a bridesmaid four times over.
12. Who is on your "List"?
At the moment it’s Bradley Cooper.
13. I love you more than _____________.
McDonalds Quarter Pounder with cheese Supersized.
14. Oranges or grapefruit?
Grapefruit.
15. What is the earliest memory you have of your first day of school?
I remember not crying when leaving my mom for the first day. The next day I bawled.
16. Would you ever choose money over love?
depends who’s offering the love ;)
17. Four people who e-mail me regularly:
Blue Eyes, the Gay Best Friend, Blonde Princess and the Sports Fan
18. What were your favorite books as a child?
The Magic Faraway Tree rocked.
19. Never in my life:
Will I wear tye-dye.20. Ever been given an engagement ring?
I didn’t like this question as a result of my singleness so I changed it to
20. What’s your favourite thing to sing in the shower?
And honestly it’s the soundtracks to Disney movies. I can belt out all of The Little Mermaid songs.
Learn to keep my emotions in check. For some reason I can break into tears really easily. I am not particularly sensitive but I don’t like anyone attacking me. Say something about my weight, the fact I’m a pushover or that my dream career is slipping further and further away and I’ll look like a panda from crying. I need to control this. Not only because I haven’t found a good waterproof mascara yet. But also ‘cause no one likes a crybaby. And I want to be one of those strong women who doesn’t back down. I want to be the type of women Maya Angelou was talking about (And still I rise!). I’m going to start by listening to Madonna’s You’ll See while I work out. It’s one of those songs that motivates you to show everyone who told you cannot do something that one day you’ll be great.
Learn to save money. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to have to go and withdraw
R50. It’s even worse when the machine you’re at only gives out hundreds. I shouldn’t have to live like this, particularly when I’m not a student anymore. The days of withdrawing everything in my account and leaving a measly R2.50 should be over. I do admit I have a spending problem. And a weird one at that. I tend to spend all my savings on fancy coffees during the week and sweets when I put in petrol. By the middle of the month, I cannot go out because I spent my entertainment budget on jellybeans and Fair Trade lattes. The next month is going to be a bit of a challenge. It’s the big move, there are four birthdays, Smokey Eyes comes for a visit and it’s Fashion Week. Chances I’ll have that R50 to withdraw at the end are slim. So starting in September because realistically August will be a bit of a money abortion, I’m going to start saving again. Also no more fuel-time sweets. And only lattes twice a week. I have an addiction so go slowly is how it’s going to happen.
Learn to try more. I have a huge fear of rejection so I do not try hard enough. Sometimes not at all. I’m not shy and I have faith yet nothing kills the soul like someone saying no. I’m one of 
those people who need validation in life, someone who needs a well done after a job. So if I do something and someone has something negative to say, I’m crushed. I wish I didn’t view failure the way I do. I wish I could throw caution to the wind and follow every whim I had. I might have my dream career, a boyfriend and complete happiness. This is one is going to be a lot harder than say not crying or saving money. I’ll definitely need a lot more Madonna songs to get to that point. But I think I may be willing to change soon enough because the only thing worse than rejection is regret.
Anything you guys need to learn?
It’s almost the weekend.

Packing up bits of my room made me realize how nice my new room is going to be. When I start 
decorating it. My budget does not allow me to start the “Make Room A Sexy and Sophisticated Place For Men To Wander Into” yet but I have already started thinking of the new things I want. Some of them are things I can afford. Others are not and are the things I can do without for awhile. So here is my new feature, Things For the New Flat. Basically it will detail things I want and things I actually need. Unfortunately I have to make a distinction. So the one thing I really want and will be getting as soon as payday comes around is heart mosaic mirror. My full-length mirror broke when I 
left my window open too wide and it was a really windy day. Doing my makeup in a half-length mirror while I stay with the parents, not a problem. In my new love shack, I do not think so. So I thought what better way to induce some good vibes than by presenting a heart mirror to the universal and in return they’ll send me Robert Pattinson. At some point in my life, I’m turning my bedroom into Moulin Rouge boudoir. And what better way to start than by getting this chaise lounge sofa. This is where I’ll be lounging oh-so-sexy in my dressing gown while watching Robert sleep (Yes this post is getting sadder by the minute).
If you have any suggestions as to where I can find either please let me know. Also if there is anything you think I should have in the new flat, you know what to do.
Thanks Bitches!

This week I will be a victim of a burst geyser no longer
