Does anyone have any idea why it is, that as soon as it rains people forget how to drive?

I can’t understand it. I mean, you expect to get to work later than usual because you have to drive slower, but to get to work 40 minutes later is just ridiculous.

Once again, the people at the Montecasino Boulevard – William Nicol Drive Intersection decided against following the rules so there was no way to turn into Montecasino Boulevard (unless you were driving a bulldozer or a monster truck – which I am seriously considering as my next choice of vehicle!).

I instead decided to take Witkoppen and go around the other way, only to find that traffic on Witkoppen was hardly moving! Although it was better because at least the people weren’t being retarded.

Well anyway, seeing as 2010 is supposed to be a positive year (I decided this on New Years Eve), I had better stop moaning, you know, with the law of attraction and all!

Hmmm… ok I found a positive – at least I had Gareth Cliff and the Team to keep me smiling!

THANKS 5FM

Have a Happy Wednesday everybody!!!

What a weekend!! I went to a braai on Saturday for my one friend’s, let’s call her bix, birthday. Bix and I were friends since we we’re in grade 8 and on my 21st we had a massive falling out and only recently started chatting again. There were three of us – the three musketeers, as we used to put it – the third of us being Sammy.  We spent almost every weekend of high school together and were each intricate parts of one another’s lives. Until Sammy and Bix had a stupid fight of sorts, Sammy ended up dating one of our friends (they are now engaged) and moved to the little town of Gaansbaai. She only moved back about 2 weeks ago. When I think back, I realize how quickly it all happened!

Anyway so Saturday was the first time in about 5 years that were all together again and I must say, it felt like I had stepped into a time machine and I was in grade 10 again!

It was so much fun. We partied like our lives depended on it and we caught up on everything from “What are you doing now?” to ” OMG! Do you remember that time we….?”. It felt like old times, like absolutely nothing had changed!!

Well except for the fact that my body no longer recovers quite as quickly as it used too. When I woke up, all I could think was Oh yes, this is why I stopped doing this! Man, I forgot what shooters do to a person!! I also forgot about UDI’s (unexplained Drunken Injuries). It was worth it, though, and I’m impressed, I didn’t even think the standard, “I’m never drinking again!” line.

Anyway… so here’s to Monday and to an awesome weekend! I hope there are many more to come!!

Monday advice:

Be positive and Learn to absolutely love what you already have

Happy Monday everyone!

Today is one of those days, you know, the ones where you just wake up on the right side of the bed, where all the robots are green on your way to work and where everything just makes complete and utter sense! They may not happen often, but man, they are the best kind of days! I seriously need to figure out the exact formula to creating the perfect day, everyday!

Maybe I should write a book. I’ll go on a ‘journey’ of sorts in an attempt to figure out the formula and write about it. It could be fun and it could be an interesting read. Maybe I’ll make it big and get to go on the Oprah show. Ok, well maybe not that big, but you never know!

Things to feel good about:

• I’m healthy
• I have a great bunch of friends
• I have an awesome family
• I have a great boyfriend, who, without a doubt, loves me like crazy!
• Life is only just beginning
• I have a pretty cool job
• I get to spend half my day doing anything and everything I want to do
• There are 15 sleeps until my birthday
• There are 17 sleeps until the midnight premiere of New Moon
• Today, in 2 months time, I would already be on holiday
• It is Christmas in just over a month
• The office is probably closing over Christmas, so my holiday will be even longer!

See, I told you, today is one of those days. If you had asked me yesterday my list probably would have looked like this:

• I have hay fever, my nose is therefore blocked. Why does this always happen??
• I don’t go out with my friends enough!
• My dad drives me insane sometimes!
• My boyfriend is so miserable lately and it’s all my fault!
• I am never going to afford to move out and get a new car
• My job is so boring and so far away from home!
• My day goes so fast that I hardly get to do the things I want – I spend most of it driving!
• Time is going so incredibly slowly – typical Murphy’s law rubbish!
• I wish I didn’t have to wait until the 20th
• I need to shape up for our holiday… I probably won’t get it right and end up ruining the whole thing for myself!
• I need to shop for Christmas presents
• Where has this year gone, before you know it I’m going to be 40!

Proof that their is always more than one way to see things – positive or negaitve. The great thing? We get to choose which one!

So choose the right one and let’s all have a Happy Tuesday!

So Ducky and I want to move out. The idea of it gets me so excited, it’s ridiculous. I just wish that things were a bit more simple sometimes. It could be great if we could just find a place right away and be in our own little place by December.

Even though we might starve to death, have no luxuries what-so-ever and I might have to go home to do my laundry, it would be loads of fun. Ducky and I have this unspoken type of connection thing. We just get each other because our minds function the same, so to be honest I couldn’t think of a better roomie

Hopefully this will all just work out magically, like things often do, and we’ll have a place soon enough!

Anyway, enough thinking and worrying for a Friday morning!

Talk about seeing the positive?

This is me when my pc is being sloooow....

Oh how I love LOL cats on a Friday (well anytime actually!).

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Lets all  Whooohoooo for Friday!

There is nothing that boosts the positivity better than winning… even if it isn’t much. It’s so strange when you realize the simplicities of the human psych. It’s not always easy to see – being human myself – but when you realize something as simple as this you realize why so many companies use competitions for advertising and marketing their products. When you win, it feels as though you’re special, like someone thought of you. It’s so strange because it’s not really like that but the feeling can make you feel just as good, as if someone hand picked you!!

Anyway… the reason I thought of this topic is because I found a 1 in 25 lucky token in my COSMO this month Which is just so fantastic…. It’s so exciting!! I have been a COSMO fan for so long. I read the magazine every month and I think being included in their 25th birthday celebrations is really cool!! So THANK YOU COSMO for making me feel special!
