She's back...slowly but surely!

Alright, alright...may I just start off by saying I am so sorry for the most boring blog over the last week or so...been working when most people are sleeping so my body clock has been out and I've been, well, stuffed!
So that means, I've been snappy and as interesting as a door knob.
I have also taken my "normal" lifestyle for granted. I have taken sleep for granted.
The good news...yes, go on....sit down... I.AM.BACK! Whoop whoop
I feel fantastic. Don't get me wrong... I've loved doing what I've been doing, but I am glad to have my "semi-normal" schedule back!
I had such a lovely chilled weekend- oh man - no debauchery this time *sadly* but I did get loads of sleep.
On Saturday after 12 hours of sleep (more than my body has had in 2 weeks) I got up and the man and I went to a Rib and Heineken braai. I felt like a kid again... I had more marinade on my face than in my mouth...my fingers were sticky, my chin and cheeks were covered in deliciousness and I was in my element.
I was a brat though, because I could be...I went running around with my grubby little paws and plastered BBQ marinade fingerprints...ok...handprints all over the freshly, unopened Heineken bottles and then drank wine.
Oh I amuse myself.
Like I said...I felt like a child again.
We watched the ruby, threw biltong at the referee (unfair bastard) and hoped like hell we didn't scratch the 42" screen.
Good times.
Sadly though...I was in bed by 10pm. Yes. I know.
Damn body clock.
I could not keep my eyes open. I tried stretching them open with my fingers, I tried opening them as wide as I could so that I looked like:

It wasn't a very happening look and I did not feel like coming up with some story to tell the Emergency Room at 10pm why I had had an accident with match sticks and my eyes. I'm accident prone, you see? I'm the girl who trips up stairs.

Sunday was chilly...blankets and hot chocolate chilly. I worked in the morning and then took full advantage of the weather, got back into my pajamas and sat watching E! Entertainment's Denise Richards: It's Complicated. It's ridiculous but I can't get enough and quite frankly, it makes me feel normal :-)

The Weekend Jig

The weekend has arrived and I have never been more excited! I'm literally doing "The Weekend Jig."
It's cutting edge and I'm just waiting for the right party to debut it. Move aside Macarena!
I don't have anything remarkable happening, no debauchery again (here's hoping) but I'm just glad I get to catch up on sleep and watch the Rugby tomorrow!
I am so thrilled.

I really enjoy eavesdropping. I know it shouldn't be done, but let's face it...we all love a good ear full. I find it fascinating and quite frankly it makes me feel normal.

My man took me for a sushi lunch today and there was a table next to us (as there should be in a restaurant) with 3 guys at it. They were dressed in business suits and must have been in their early 30's.
The convo went like this:
Sunglasses dude: "I really am not sure what to do with my weekend. I am supposed to be seeing Holly but Bianca is bugging me to go out with her. Maybe I should do them both."
Laptop dude hi-5's Sunglasses dude. "Why not? Awesome! Holly is hot, but Bianca has a great pair."
Brightly-coloured-tie dude: "I am supposed to be going to my mom just now at 4pm. She's finished all my washing and ironing and I need to pick it up. Where are we watching the rugby tomorrow?"
The waiter then came to take our order and I missed the rest of the conversation but I was literally gobsmacked and yet I do wonder why I am at all surprised.
Here is this guy (a grown man) in a business suit, looks like he's doing well for himself, and yet his mom is doing his washing and ironing!
DUDE!!
Do these men still exist?

Here is my to do list for the weekend:
  • Catch up with sleep
  • Watch the rugby at friends
  • Visit the parentals
  • Watch the Series channel tonight...for all the reality TV shit, I hate to admit I enjoy.
  • See Surfer Girl
  • Sleep
  • Continue with the clearing/cleaning of the garage
  • Organise my wardrobe
  • Sleep

Rivetting, huh?

I personally, cannot wait!! :-)
