And the year is almost done

I was looking back at my first post, that included some resolutions. It's now time to see how well i did!
Be healthier - this went relatively well. I got back into gym, though have been a bit slack this month. I have also lost weight, so I'm happy with that! Though i wouldn't mind losing a few more.
Buy a new car - DONE!
Have something that resembles a relationship (longer than 4 months) - Um.... resolution not achieved, in the slightest, though i still somehow managed to get my feelings hurt and my heart a bit bruised.

So while on holiday, I will see if i can come up with anything worth mentioning.

I leave for East London again today! Wooohoooo!!! I am very excited! 10 days of relaxing, no worries and not too much spending.

Hopefully the weather will be good, so that i can get some quality beach time. Otherwise, I will have my laptop with me, with the latest series.

I hope everyone has a fantastic festive season and a fab new year!

Catch you in 2008! Here's to a great year and more good karma!

Blondie: Dont worry - just give me his phone number and I'll do the organising myself - can't let a catch like that loose!
Loulou: You won't regret it!
Blondie: I'm sure - hot tantric sex here i come!!!

I'll keep you updated about whether it works or not.

The excuses men give….

I was sitting on the beach in Cape Town the other day (as you do) letting my mind wander…. I decided a great blog topic would be “The excuses men give”. And believe me, there are some pearlers! Having been in the dating game for 15 odd years, and with the input of my brother, I have come up with my own top 10.

Number 10

I think we are good together and can make it work but you’ll need to first change a couple things about your personality

Number 9

I might be moving to Malaysia. This was said in an email…

Number 8

I don’t see a future for us. What? Are you a psychic?

Number 7

I want to settle down but I don’t think you’re right for that.

Number 6

It’s not you, it’s me. This is a very popular one! It really means it’s not me, it’s you. I've used it a few times myself. When I do, it means you irritate the hell out of me and if I spend another minute with you, I am likely to seriously abuse you, or pull a muscle from rolling my eyes so much.

Number 5

There’s no connection. I'm sorry? Are you an electrician? Have we crossed wires somewhere along the way?

Number 4

My ex has asked me to go back to her (even after she slept with my best friend and father), so I’m going to see if we can make it work this time. Sure... good luck with that!

Number 3

I want to concentrate on my career - as a barman?

Number 2

I don’t want to ruin the friendship.

AND…. Number 1

I just want to be single. I'm not ready for a relationship. Things are very complicated at the moment and I need to sort things out. But here’s the reason it’s number 1… it also means “give me two weeks and I’ll have a girlfriend”

So what is the point of these excuses? I would prefer the honest approach. If there is a reason, just tell me without bullshitting! Most girls I know prefer this because the truth is easier to understand and deal with than some ridiculous, already-heard excuse.

Unless you can come up with an original, believable and mind-blowing excuse, why bother?

Oh! And feel free to add some of the good excuses you've had to endure in the comments bit!

I apologise....

I apologise for going on as I did in previous posts… I fear I was delusional and probably temporarily insane. That really wasn't the usual me and it scares me that I can become that person...Eeewww! :) It happens!

After a reality check, and some disappointing conduct by someone I thought worthwhile and out of the ordinary, I would like to say that I have thankfully come to my senses and promise to revert to my more fun and cynical self.

Here’s to a more fun future! Cheers!

Brazilians are fun!

Before I went to Cape Town last week, I decided it was time to get a brazilian. I have been going for bikini waxes for ages and become used to the pain. Though I suppose it is skin that sees the light of day a bit more than the rest.

So off I speed to my appointment after work. My mother had forgotten to give me the message to take Panado’s before, to lessen the pain. Oh well…

I get there and take it all off. It started out fine, with the usual areas being waxed… not too bad! Yet…

When the time came to take everything off form the ‘undercarriage’ I must admit I was a bit nervous. Though I think the distraction of talking to my beautician, who is also a friend, was ideal. The pain actually wasn’t too bad. I think I got frights more than anything. And I do admit that the hot wax actually felt kinda nice. A different feeling but a pleasant one nonetheless.

After much pulling and manoeuvring, I was done. I did end up with a rather large blood blister underneath, but that disappeared in a day or two. And of course I had to get used to the feeling of wearing underwear. And I admit that it felt really nice, all that smooth skin…. Reminded me of the first leg wax I had. The difference is that it isn’t frowned upon when a girl feels her newly smooth legs.

And of course it is worthy of showing off to other people! Though not always the full show.
