Cute Overload

I'm always a bit slow with everything,and I've only just {out of extreme boredom at work} discovered the greatness that is Cute Overload.

This has made me smile a lot the last hour.Which isn't an easy feat in the current mood that I'm in.I think this is going to be my 'go-to' site on stressed out days.This and binge-eating.That always helps too.






See?All kinds of freaking cuteness.It's like when you're eating ice cream,and you get a brain freeze,or your teeth starts hurting from the sugar.But in a good way.

I want to sit here and do nothing...

...all day long.

Wednesday Weirdness

1. What is one thing one of your closest friends does that drives you batshit crazy?

My very close friend is supercalifragifuckingcrazy jealous of her boyfriend.No matter how much he reassures her of his complete love and total fidelity,she refuses to let him out of her sight,and there was a time where he could literally go nowhere without her in tow.It drives me batshit crazy,because I know this is all in her mind,and he would never do anything to hurt her.I've talked to her about it a million times,but she always reverts back to her old crazy ways.

2. When buying a new sex toy, what are the features you look for that you absolutely have to have?

I've never bought one for myself,but I would have to say it should be able to arouse me,but not too quickly.I don't want sex with myself to go by quickly,though it usually does {that's the downside to knowing your body too well}.Just shows,no sex is ever perfect.Or else I'm just a fussy bitch.

3. If you woke up the opposite gender for one day, what would be the biggest downside to that for you?

Having to shave my face.It's horrible shaving all the places {or at least waxing most of the places} we do as women,but I would never want to have to shave my face.It looks really tedious and my skin would probably break out in the worst rashes know to man.

4. Do you use curse words in front of children?

Yes,unfortunately.My niece keeps telling me not to,but it's second nature.I have to mention that,and I might be totally wrong on this,I see curse words as using God's name in vain.You know,using God's name as a curse word,or Jesus.That I never use,and dispise hearing other people use it.Other words like fuck and shit,to me,are man-made words,and was never used in the olden times,so I don't actually see them as all that bad.If I was really upset and used the word 'fudge' instead of 'fuck',it would have the same meaning anyway,whether it's a nicer word or not.

5. If you were zapped with a laser and turned into an animated character, what Disney movie would you hate to play a part in?

Ratatouille,because I fucking hate rats.Stupid Disney,trying to make rats look all cute.

6. How would you react to your partner answering a phone call or text message during foreplay or intercourse?

Well,this has happened,and I wasn't mad,but it was a phone call,so it could've been an emergency.If he had answered a text message,I would've gone Lorena Bobbitt on his ass.

7. What are three things you want to try doing but haven't yet? (They can be sexual or non-sexual, doesn't matter.)

1. Have sex every day for a month.
2. Jog for at least 2km,without falling over,dead.
3. To not be so critical of my boyfriend or myself.

I need some candy...some EYE candy

I am a total loser.Since school I've always had some or other crush on either an actor or musician.Like Brad Pitt,Johnny Depp,Paul Walker,Jon Bon Jovi,Nick from the Backstreet Boys (very long ago!),etc,etc.

Well,I've noticed that ever since JC and I have been together,I just don't crush anymore.There's absolutely no celebrity or hot guy out there that I've been fantasizing or druelling over.When I have sexy dreams,I have them about my boyfriend.How freaking sad is that?I would never be unfaithful,but I do believe a healthy fantasy life is a good thing.All I fantasize about,is my man.I'm officially whipped.

But...

That has all changed in the last month.You see,it's rugby season again.The Super 14 has started,and that means rugby games every single weekend.My boyfriend is a MAJOR Stormers fan,and so I am pretty much forced to watch all these games with him,if I hope to spend some quality time with him.Now,I'm a huge Stormers supporter too,purely out of loyalty,because they tend to lose a lot,and they have some very hot guys playing on the team.But it's in my number 2 team (the Sharks) that I have found my 2 new sexy guy crushes.Francois Steyn and Bismarck du Plessis.Both young and baby faced,yet ripped and total barbarians on the field.The perfect combination.

{Just look at these and tell me you don't agree}

Those eyes,those lips...*sigh*

My weekend by the sea

JC and I had a bit of a getaway this weekend,in an old,tiny,nearly-falling-apart caravan in this really tiny little seaside town,about an hours' drive from our town.It was so nice to just get away and relax,and not have to do anything but just walk around,talk and joke about nothing in particular,have a drink (or 10),etc.

{Here are a few pictures of my weekend}

So early on a Monday?Awesome

I got another award!Can you believe it?The really gorgeous,and fabulous mommy Ashley (from Confessions of a Housewife),gave me this award,and I'm blushing,because I still can't believe I've gotten an award from her.Thanks Ashley!


"This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day."
The rules to follow are:

2) Pass the award to another 15 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Although I love,love,love receiving awards from my fellow bloggers,I find it really difficult to choose who to tag for the awards (I'm a very indecisive type of person,it's just who I am),so I'm tagging all my followers.You all are a melting pot of cultures and personal values,so all of you deserve this award.

THIS I love

Zané and Nico enjoying the bit of cooler weather.She's trying to teach him how to ride his bike


These are all pictures of what the sky looked like yesterday afternoon at 5:30 when I was walking home after work.Thunder clouds were coming in,and by 9pm last night,heavy raindrops had started falling.It must've drizzled through most of the night,because you could see some waterpools in the streets this morning,even though it was 24 degrees celsius last night (yes!at night!).

A good Tuesday...so far

{Here's why}

~ I found out one of my best friends and her hubby are moving into a house that's only about 3 houses down from our apartment!I am super excited,because A and I used to be really close,and would party all the time,along with my sister (who was originally A's friend).We would go out during the week and then spend the next night moaning to each other about our hangovers.It was awesome!Anyhow,she got married 3 years ago,moved away,and we probably only saw each other like,4 times in the whole time since then.She called me yesterday with the news,and I have to say,it was the best birthday present I could've asked for.

~ My best friend,L,sent me a lovely letter and the most adorable (and super comfy) winter socks for my birthday.
She knows me too well,because my old slippers have finally gotten the boot,and come winter time,my feet are always freezing,so this is the perfect present for me.I didn't know I was getting anything,so when I got this package,it was a very fun little surprise.She's the BEST!

~ My boss told me yesterday,that since I worked so hard this past weekend (which was my birthday weekend,of course),they've decided that I should have this Friday off.Can you believe it?It's awesome!

~ Only 4 more days until we go away for the weekend.We are renting a caravan for our stay by the seaside,which is so great,because I love anything to do with a caravan.I don't know why,maybe I have some gypsey blood in me.

So there,like I said,a very good Tuesday so far.

Some more Flickr for me please

I never bothered going onto sites like Flickr or Photobucket,but I've recently started getting quite obsessed with Flickr.I am a picture stalker,especially of other people's homes.I just love seeing how people decorate their homes and how they make their private spaces special (that sounded kind of dirty,it wasn't meant to be).

Here are a few of the places I've found on Flickr,and just love to death.If only I had the creativity to do things like this to my place.Alas,I'm creatively challenged.There should really be some sort of organisation for that,since everything seems to have an organisation these days.

This is what the ego needs on a Monday morning

La Belette Rouge,the elegant and wise blogger and doggie mommy,thought it fit to bestow me with an award.I can't tell you how awesome that is.

I was going to tag some blogs that I heart,but I heart all the blogs I follow,and the list is pretty long,so I'm just going to say to them all ~ I HEART YOU!

February 22

Was my birthday!I had a very quiet,relaxing day,only going out of the apartment to have lunch at my mom's house.She made the most delicious lasagne (which I had 2 plates of) and a peppermint crisp desert (which was totally delicious,as always).


They even laid a pretty table for me.

I got some presents - mostly thing I can use around the apartment,which is great,because I'm usually too cheap to buy these things myself.After lunch JC and I went back to the apartment,and started watching some old movie.I really wanted to sit with him and cuddle,and watch the movie,but after the HUGE lunch I'd just had,all I wanted to do,was take a long nap (in my defence,I had been up since 6:30am - couldn't sleep again once I was awake).

I slept for about 2 hours,and after that I decided to eat some more!

So yeah,that's basically how I spent my birthday ~ eating and sleeping.So,basically,I spent it just the way I wanted to.JC and I are going to a small beach town this weekend,so that will be my real birthday weekend,seeing as I had to work on the actual weekend.I can't wait to go to the beach,with a little cool weather.Heaven!

The lovable Lulubelle

I just had to share this pic of my kitty Lulubelle (who now lives with her Grandma J) sleeping in her very *comfortable* position.I guess she was busy down there,and just decided to take a nap.


And as a side note,here is Mattewis,a loner cat that has adopted the car dealership where I work,as home.My boss buys her the most expensive cat food,and dotes on her all the time.She basically lives in his office (he even has a little cat bed in there for her).This was one night after work,I was walking past my work place,and I saw Mattewis guarding the offices.I swear she's half dog somehow.

The no-make up look

I've been thinking about this for a bit,and I've come to the simple conclusion that I would rather be one of those people who hardly ever wears make up,and when I do,people act like I've discoverd the wheel or something.As opposed to being one of those people who always wears so much make up that on the off chance you catch them without make up,they basically look like someone with a terminal illness or the Ghost of Christmas Past.

I started thinking about this because since it's been so very hot here the last couple of weeks,I haven't really put on any make up at all ~ you literally sweat it all of within half an hour of leaving the house,so it's useless to waste your expensive (or in my case,dirt cheap) make up like that.So now I only put on a little concealer under my eyes (for those extremely persistent dark circles) and a bit of mascara (otherwise I look like a lab rat ~ one of those big white lab rats ~ so not a good look).

I really don't care what people think,the less make up look is much more comfortable in this heat,because if I put on too much make up and sweat so much after that,I tend to get a few zits,which is a definite no-no for me.Otherwise my skin is quite clear,and gosh golly,I wana keep it that way.

Come winter time I'll pile on the beautifying war paint again.But for now the mask will have to stay hidden.And I'm not missing it one bit.


{See?I'd rather be the left side most of the time,so people can get used to it,rather than be the right side most of the time,and freak people the hell out when they see me looking like the left side}

Questions about My Love

Everyone and their uncle has done these questions,but now it's my turn.I stole them from Blogged Bliss.

How long have you been together?
We’ve been together for 3 years and 3 months.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
About 7 years.He used to date my best friend when she and I were still in high school.

Who asked whom out?
We both sort of drunkflirted with each other.I made it very easy for him.One night at the club where he was a barman at the time,I spotted him on the dancefloor,grabbed him and said “Why don’t you come over to my place when you’re done with work?”.I had said this to him many times before,he never took me up on the ‘offer’.That night he did,and the rest is history.

How old are each of you?
I’m 25 (turning 26 on Sunday) and he is 30.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
Mine,but only my one sister,because she lives in the same town as us.Otherwise we see his sisters more often.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Our debt.At least,my boyfriends’ debt.We basically can’t really start our lives until that is all paid off,because I don’t want to keep on making more debt,so I refuse to get married until we are in the clear.

Did you go to the same school?
Nope.

Are you from the same home town?
He moved to my home town when he was 13.I’ve lived here my whole life.

Who is smarter?
I think that we are pretty equal,but if I have to be honest,I think he is.Especially when it comes to math and science.I’m better with useless facts.

Who is the most sensitive?
I am definitely.He is about as sensitive as a dull needle.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We don’t eat out.My boyfriend is not a big eater (he only eats about one meal a day) and prefers home made food.But if we do,we go to this local restaurant just around the corner from us,for pizza.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
LOL,not very far,only about 2 hours from home.What can I say?We’re house bunnies.

Who has the craziest exes?
I don’t really know many of his exes,but I would have to guess his,because he was my first real boyfriend,and he has dated quite a plethora of interesting characters.

Who has the worst temper?
I think my boyfriend does,because he tends to be passive aggressive,and holds everything in,then explodes when he is really mad.I let my anger and stuff out whenever I feel it,so I don’t get too worked up.

Who does the cooking?
I do mostly.My boyfriend can only do chicken and chips or burgers.So I mostly make the food,otherwise I would only get to eat chicken and chips or burgers,ever.

Who is the neat-freak?
Neither one of us is a neat freak,although I don’t like things to be dirty.If you make a mess,you clean it up immediately.My boyfriend doesn’t get this.

Who is more stubborn?
Definitely JC!If he says no,he means no,and there is absolutely NO way to change his mind,at all.

Who hogs the bed?
I do.I like to lie spread eagled on my stomach.I also like to roll myself up in the duvet.Luckily JC is very thin,so he doesn’t need a lot of space anyway.

Who wakes up earlier?
I usually do.Unfortunately.

Where was your first date?
In my bedroom.”wink,wink”

Who is more jealous?
I am.But I wouldn’t get all psycho about it,so long as JC doesn’t compare me to any of his exes,I hate that.

How long did it take to get serious?
After about a year of being ‘friends with benefits’,we became increasingly serious about each other,although we were monogamous the whole time anyway.

Who eats more?
I do,by far.Like I said,he only eats about one meal a day (mostly dinner) and he hardly ever eats seconds.He also doesn’t eat anything sweet.He truly only eats if he is really hungry.Whereas I will eat anything and everything in my path,given the chance.

Who does the laundry?
We both do.He sorts the clothes and puts it in the machine and then I hang it up and take it down and pack it away again.

Who's better with the computer?
Me,although I’m not that good,at all.He however,can’t even type.

Who drives when you are together?
Well,I can’t drive,so JC drives ALL the time.

The cuteness factor just shot through the roof

Too freaking cute!

Postsecret Monday

I'm so saddened by this secret.I visit my dad's grave at least once a month,and don't know how I would feel if my relationship with him was like this person's

I know that I would stay with my boyfriend no matter what,because he would do that for me

This one is super funny,and might as well have been sent by me!

This gives me hope for relationships!

This is the freaking cutest thing!I can just imagine what a cute couple these two are


More secrets to be found on Postsecret,every Monday.These are just some of my favorites.

Thinking of my Dad

This is the way I remember my dad.Reading a book on the porch,listening to FM radio,with one or another cat keeping him company.This particular kitty is Poena,who,much to my dad (and my) sadness,died a few months later.So did my dad
