I’ve registered my very own domain!! Although I think it is going to take a while to set up everything and get it to work the way I want it to, but I’m learning and getting it done – one step at a time! I’m excited to get it up and running!

Did you watch the soccer last night?? (I recorded Desperate Housewives – that definitely shows my support!) Man, we did so well!! It’s such a pity we didn’t score a goal, our guys deserved it!!

What was it with Daniel Alves’ tattoo of his name on his chest??? That has got to be the height of vanity! It was so ridiculous!

I’m going to Boktown tommorrow. Hopefully we can kick those Lions’ butts properly this time!! It’ll make me feel better after last night Mr. Perfect’s little brother is back from Italy for the weekend so I will be spending the weekend with them. It’s going to be fascinating staying with 3 men, to say the least.

Anyhoo…. the shocking news of the day: MICHAEL JACKSON – DEAD! I think, more than the fact that this calls the end of a pop music era, it was so out of the blue because he had his tour coming up and everything! It’s really hectic and sad for all his family, friends and fans!

Well I’m going to end my post on a happier note: IT’S THE WEEKEEEEND BAAAAABBBBYYYYY!!!

I am full of stupid and forgetful moments, sometimes I’d swear I’m blond – although I must say that it runs in the family, which does make me feel better!

A while back, a one time event, I parked my car at Pick n’ Pay, got out, cheerily doing my thing, until I realized I had locked my keys in the car. Now, I know that “It’s happened to everyone”, but tell me, How many of them had left the car running??

And that’s just one example. I have locked my keys in the car so many times now that I have lost count (and every time I have to find some friendly man who knows how to break into my car, or who happens to be carrying a wire hanger! – How dodgy is that??) Now,let’s get back to the reason I’m writing this post, on Thursday I left my lights on for the second time in less than 2 months. I had to call my roadside assist and explain to them that yes, I have done it again! At least they were decent enough not too mention it.

I definitely need a new car. One that beeps when I leave the lights on and won’t let me lock the car without the keys!

Sometimes I can really frustrate myself. Lately my emotions have been on some kind of crazy roller caster ride and all I want to do is get off!!

I can’t seem to understand myself and I’m not sure how I can expect Mr. Perfect to even try to understand. I’m just in such a weird place and I’m really struggling to figure out why, where, and how to get myself out of it!

I was talking to a friend of mine over the weekend and she said she’s having similar problems… so we have decided that it must be the pill (we’re both on Triphasil and have been on it for 8 years – talk about a common thread!!) I am hoping that I can soon change to a better and much weaker pill and if it is that then at least my moods can stabilize again!

Actually, at this point I’m willing to try anything. I just can’t handle my own unpredictability!

Anyhoo, on a much lighter note… I read ‘Born In Fire’ by Nora Roberts over the weekend and all I can say is ‘Wow! What an awesome book’. My sister has always been a Nora Roberts fan and because we like very different kinds of books I was a bit sceptical when she first gave it to me and told me to read it. I definitely underestimated how well my sister knows me. It turned out to be one of my favourite books ever…. and it’s a trilogy! YAY!! I’m going to get the next installment “Born In Ice” today or tomorrow. I can’t wait to find out what happens next

This weekend we decided to go camping and dubbed it “THE BEST CAMPING WEEKEND EVER”, and was it?

The answer is YES!I had no idea that camping was that much fun – although, in all fairness, I wouldn’t exactly call it proper camping!

The Golden Leopard Resort is what I would call a five star campsite (at a very good price though). The bathrooms are very modern, clean and practical . There’s electricity at certain camp sites and there are even guys that will put up and take down your tent for you.

There is also a shop and a restaurant at the resort (the shop was a life saver considering that we all forgot the firewood and what’s camping with out roasting marshmellows??)

The resort is in the Pilansberg so it’s really a fun, cheap getaway to the bush. It’s definitely a must for nature lovers. While we were there we saw Impala, Monkey’s, Baboons, Warthogs and Mongoose – and that’s just in the actual campsite! We could even hear the lions roaring at night.

The game drives were also absolutely amazing! We saw everything except the big cats – some of the other people there did get to see the Lions and Cheetahs though. We just couldn’t find them.

The early morning drive on Sunday was the highlight of the trip. We saw a heard of Elephant right next to the road and they had a very young baby with them. It was so young that it hadn’t quite figured out how it’s trunk worked yet. I could have watched them for hours but the baby didn’t seem to like us staring at it and started trying to charge at the cars – at that point you know it’s time to move along.

We also ended up right in the middle of a herd of Giraffe. There were about 10 of them all around us – they really are such beautiful and graceful animals. Since we went to the Lion Park a few months ago and got to feed them I have felt this strange attachment to them.

On Saturday evening we also got to see the Brown Hyena- which is really rare. We didn’t get a very good look because it just ran across the road in front of us, but it was awesome none-the-less.

We also saw Rhino, Jackals, Zebra, Kudu, Waterbuck, Wildebeest, Springbuck, Buffalo and a lot of bird life!

All in all it was fikkin’ awesome!! Although we really over shot on the amount of food and other consumables we would need , but oh well… at least we now for next time!

I have a seriously bad procrastination problem!

Taking this half day job, I told myself that I would spend my extra time blogging and building my creative side – writing, drawing, painting, etc… but what have I done exactly?….. zilch.

At the moment this is how it goes: Get home from work, have lunch, watch previous days missed TV programs, surf channels for something good to watch, find crap on tv that “I have to watch now because I have gotten into it and I need to see what happens”, snack on something in the fridge, snack on something in the cupboard, “Oh look it’s 17h00, no point in doing anything now, the days already gone”, “Will try again tomorrow!”…..

And this just continues to happen, so today I brought home my laptop in an attempt to force myself to do something!

And here I am….

Lets hope I can keep it up!
