Okay, so, I had every intention of writing a review on “Step Up 3D”, seeing as we went to watch it last night and I haven’t done a review in a while, but in all honestly it was a load of shite and my mom always told me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, then you should say nothing at all!

So, all I will say is that if you are a youngster who is really keen on dance and 3D together in a movie and have no particular interest in acting skills or story lines, or if you are someone who loves their eye candy and can take all the other crap to just see 5 seconds of Rick Malambri without his shirt, then this movie is for you!

So instead of that I have decided to post something different – A dedication post to all the awesome people in my life, as I am feeling so incredibly grateful for all of them, while I am getting through this really weird patch in my life.

So using the wonderful Phuza Thursday that it is ass an excuse, I want to do a toast.

*pours out glasses of champagne and passes them around*

This is to all of you – to all the laughs, to all the tears and to all of the really weird conversations that cover all topics from religion, to sex, to politics.

*Raises glass*

You are all AWESOME, and A-MA-ZING and INCREDIBLE! Without you all – each with your differences and ample great advice – I would be completely – to put it simply –  screwed!

So CHEERS to YOU!!

*clinking glasses and big sips all around*

I love you all!

This weekend was a whirlwind of reminiscing and absolute craziness!

So I’ve told you about Bix, right? Well she has bumped up her flight and is now leaving for London TODAY! She told us this on Thursday, so, as you can imagine, this weekend became “The-Best-of-the-Three-Musketeers-Back-Together-One-Last-Time.”

On Friday we went to Doors and rocked our socks off! I am not even kidding! I haven’t danced like that since… actually ‘m not even sure I have danced like that. We were on the floor the WHOLE time. Every time my body would say, “Ok, it’s time for a rest!” a really, really good song would come on and I would just ignore it! It was so AWESOME. I’m sure The Killers would agree. They were coming there for the concert after party, although I gave in to my body before they arrived , so there is no proof in the form of a photo (although apparently there are no camera’s allowed in Doors, at all, ever! So that wouldn’t have happened anyway!).

So after the “Awesomest-Night-of-Dancing-Ever” I woke up and I promise you, I couldn’t move me neck. I just laid there trying to figure out how I was going to get up. Did you know that you use your neck muscles for almost every movement you make? It gives you momentum to move forward or get up. Yes, I know, it was news to me too.

So Saturday was interesting, to say the least. I did still manage so go out with Mr Perfect and get DVD’s but that was about it. We watched “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” (I had forgotten what it was like in cinema… Twilight has that effect), “The Hangover” (which was hilarious… did I mention earlier that you use your neck to laugh too?) and “Ice Age 3″ (which was pretty good too. Who doesn’t love cute baby dinosaurs and Mammoths?).

Yesterday I woke up with a very, very slightly better neck and off we went to The Glen, before going back to Bix’s to have a farewell braai. Shopping was horrific… busy shopping centre’s should not be inhabited by crazy girls who have a sore neck and can therefore not work properly. Needless to say, I was not in the best of moods!

The braai was awesome, as well. Reminiscing about ‘The Good Ol’ Days” can never be bad Except when people keep pouring shooters, on a Sunday, and you have to then be reminded that you are now older and have to actually go to work on a Monday – that sucks! I did leave there with a special something though – “The Holy Grail of the Three Musketeers.” Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but it is our book. It holds the ultimate form of reminiscing and I may even post some of the best ones here You never know.

All in all it was fantastic, but now I have to get to the airport and deal with the not so awesome part – saying goodbye!

Wow, it’s Monday already! But guess what? There are only 7 left of the year (including today). It’s an awesome thought, blady scary, but awesome none-the-less!

This Monday is a pretty good one, for me,though, probably the best one of the year. Come to think of it, this will probably be the best week of the year!

This is because it’s my birthday on Wednesday. I haven’t felt this excited for my birthday for a few years, I feel like a kid again!! I think that has a lot to do with my current obsession with ‘Twilight’. It reminds me of my child obsession with ‘The Lion King’. It may very well be the last crazy obsession I have… although I doubt it!

This week is filled with awesome-ness, actually. Mr Perfect is planning a big surprise. I am trying not to think about it too much because if I get too excited, the time will slow down dramatically and I am not very good at waiting I know that he has spent a lot of time on it and he calls it his ‘special project’… hmmm… the only clue he has given me is saying that I need to be up at least 20 minutes earlier, just for his gift! Ok, I am going to stop thinking about it again… it’s driving me crazy!

In the evening, we’ll have my sister and brother-in-law over for dinner, birthdays are big things in my family – we always make arrangements to see each other and spend the day or evening together!

On Thursday I’ll go for a haircut after work (I always get my hair cut around my birthday – it’s tradition). Then my crazy friend, Doofie, for all intents and purposes, will be coming with me to watch ‘Twilight’ in cinema’s at 20h00 (Nu Metro released it on Friday to prepare for the premiere of New Moon)

And then, Friday is the day of the premiere!! I’m going to watch it with Ducky, Doofie, another friend and Mr Perfect! I can’t wait! We’ll probably only get home around 3am and then I shall sleep until at least 10h00 on Saturday – I don’t want to be tired for the Brutal Fruit party – and if I’m really lucky, I’ll win the trip to LA!! Whoohooo!!!

Ok, so those are my plans for the week – note the reason it’ll be the best one of the year!

I know this is off topic but it was cute… and cute-ness is always relevant!!

America has the Cutest Bunnies!

Happy Monday 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!
