My baby was very naughty last week and decided to break on me. So for punishment I left her all alone in a parking lot for the night. Thought she’d learn her lesson but she didn’t.
The next morning I arrived, thinking my evil plan had worked. All excited, I put the key in the key hole and nothing… Helpless, it was time to call in some reinforcement, meaning a tow truck. After the longest call of my life I finally managed to get a tow truck to come out, estimated time 1 hour. In tow truck terms that must mean sit tight we’ll be there when we get there.
So after baking in the sun for 2 hours and amusing myself by talking to my car and telling her how disappointed I am and that our relationship will never be the same, i finally saw a huge tow truck pull in and parks in front of me, a little man bungeed out and came to me.
Little man: Eish mam can you start your car?
Me: Yes I can I was just checking your response time. Duh!
My car was pulled onto a flatbed. I’m sure I heard it squeak, while it dangled there and the flatbed was being rolled down and secured. Now it was my turn to get in, which is easier said than done. High heels and all, I climbed up what felt like a rock wall, hanging out the door trying to pull myself up, is definitely a memorable memory. I’m just grateful there was no one to witness my embarrassment.
I am happy to say it was a minor problem and all was fixed in record time and I got my car back the next day. We are both doing good and are now working on our relationship! Therapy might be an option!

It's a competition out there
And the prize is……… to be crowned stalker of the year.
My daily run in with Car dude is becoming a nightmare, my dodging him is no longer working and is a work out all on its own. It goes something like this: get to gym, look over shoulder, run to changing room, when done, sneak peak around the corner to make sure he’s not there, run to treadmill as fast as possible so there’s no opportunity of any conversation. Always looking over my shoulder just in case he appears. Duck and dive while on the treadmill every time he looks in my direction, nearly falling off the treadmill, move onto next torture machine, repeat ducking and diving, move onto next machine, looking down hoping I won’t be noticed. Thinking I’m in the clear once outside, jump for joy only to see that Car dude has upped his game and is now taken to waiting by my car.
If that’s not bad enough he’s got competition, Vest dude.
I went on a horrid date beginning of the year with Vest dude and his morbid personality which bored me till my eyes bled. And at the end of which he proceeded to calculate everything I had on a piece of paper in order for me to pay “my part” (Which was R73.50 on the dot) then asked me to wait with him until his lift got there.. OMG are you freaking kidding me?!?! That’s when i decided there will not be a repeat. Him on the other hand must of thought it went so well and that we belong together, that he now feels the need to follow me around the gym. Literally machine after machine, trying to strike up some kind of conversation like "are you done with this machine, cause I would really like to nest myself in the sweat you leave behind"
I am now either going to find another gym or learn to leopard crawl and camouflage myself the colour of the walls.
Ps: I plan to hold a ceremony in which I will be crowning one of them. Publically.

The big blow
Sunday is always the day I spend recovering from what usually is an awesome weekend! It is also the day I take my dog to the park to mingle, as she is the only child she can get very lonely. The heat wave pasted and I set out for the park with the dog hanging out the window of my car.
In the 5 minutes that it took me to get to the park the weather changed from sunny hot to thundering blow you over wind. While fighting the wind, trying to keep my dress down and my dog from blowing away, I also had two very annoying birds bombing my dog. Yes you heard me right. The 2 of them were flying over my dog and swooshing down on her every chance they got, she’s not the biggest of dogs and does somewhat resemble a rat (a really big rat).
After 40 minutes of hair flying, bird swooshing, dog chasing I was home and had every intention of bathing the dog (it’s my little way of getting her evil a$s back). I couldn’t find her towel so had to climb up my cupboard to get another one. (Climbing up the cupboard is a fairly often occurrence for me as I’m too lazy to get a chair.) Now there’s no harsher ways of being told / hinted you have gained weight than your cupboard shelf breaking under your feet, you falling painfully out your cupboard while it takes all the skin off your arm and proceeds to fall on top on you. I calmly (not loud) screamed at the top of my voice and managed to swear in all the languages that I know, curled up into the fetal position and rocked myself till the pain stopped. At some point I must of alerted the cousin that something had happened. When she came in to see what was wrong, she proceed to laugh at me hysterically. Since when has my pain become her amusement?
I now have a very sore arm with what looks like razor cuts all over it and a broken shelf. But on the brighter side I did eventually manage to bath my dog, that is to say with great difficulty.
Ps: I keep getting looks of disgust from complete strangers, seriously I fell, it's not what you think.!!

Fruit Loops
This is going to be a bit of a low blow. Talking about an Ex is never fun but in my case its freaking hilarious.
That was the first and last time I will ever put myself through the torture of a long distance relationship. You just never know what's coming back to you. People change!
I’ll start where it all went wrong cause that’s the only part I actually remember. While making travel plans to meet up in paradise, Fruit Loops couldn’t even get the simple concept of booking his hotel. All the travel arrangements were left up to me, which was already a big put off when a guy couldn’t take the initiative.
So after all the plans were made and booking was paid, for I was bombarded with emails harassing me and telling me to reply immediately over and over again, never mind the fact that I have a life and don’t spend every waking minute on my email, waiting to reply with anticipation. The closer the holiday got, the worse he got. The guy became needy and obsessive, it became an impossible situation. I was now dreading seeing him, all the excitement disappeared.
The last straw was emails I received and then decided to confront him.
Him: (Name), reply to your mail now
Him: I am still waiting for a reply (Name)
Him: Why are you not replying?
And all this within 1 hour. I was smsed, emailed and Facebooked several times, the worst part was there was nothing much to reply to. When I finally checked my mail I felt like I was being stalked by a one legged woman eating pansy boy. Does he have no shame or self-respect?
My reply was simple.
Me: Hi, I’m sorry, been busy with work and haven’t had a chance to get online, so stop obsessing, will be seeing you in a week.
His immediate response: DON’T USE THAT WORD, I hate it when people use that word, OBSSESSED! I’m not f*cking OBSESSED.
If that’s not crazy then I don’t know what is. What happened to the sexy, confident guy I met? Since when did he turn into a needy pink panty wearing drama queen. Real men don’t wear pink panties Fruit Loops. I knew then this was not going to work.. and told him, that we should rather go as friends and all have a good time.
The first time I saw him, I was in utter shock. In the 8 months that I haven’t seen him, I couldn’t believe that the tanned body of a God turned into, what can only be described as, saggy old man’s skin with droopy nipples and a boep, which he defended (lied) by saying he can't go a day without gym. I wish I was joking but I’m not. I have a picture to prove it. The amazing person that I am :), I still thought the best way to get through this holiday, was just being friends.
Every single day Fruit loops shocked with stupidity!
Fruit loops: I went shopping today and bought a new phone.
Me: oh nice what you get?
Fruit loops: Look.. (Pulls out a Nokia E Series)
Me: mmm.. very nice phone.
Later that day while lying by the pool tanning….
Fruit loops: I bought a Blackberry today
Me: No you didn’t. You bought a Nokia E Series
Fruit Loops: Oh Sh*t!! I’ve just made the biggest mistake of my life. I went to go buy a Blackberry (He actually thought he bought a Blackberry *gasp*)
Me: *Blank look on face* got up and jumped into the pool, Fruit loops followed (Why oh why.)
After my looong swim, well actually I spent 30 minutes drinking at the pool bar… I was in the water, so its technically considered swimming. Standing in the shallow end, about to get out, Fruit loops swims up to me. Stands next to me and just stares without saying a word.
After 5 minutes of silence, Fruit loops stretches his arms out and in the most high pitched voice says: “Hold meeeeeeee!!!!”
I was so shocked the first thing that came out of my mouth was: “Hell, No!”.
Fruit loops even bothered to ask why! My answer was half true: “I just don’t want to!”
(Never mind that you have lost all appeal you might or might not of once had) I'm almost certain that his brain has been eaten away by daily drug use, thats the only explanation i can think of.
After the pool confrontation, Fruit Loops checked out, never to be heard from again. He lasted 4 days in paradise which 2 of them was spent on the toilet with the sh*ts. I’m sure this was a very memorable holiday for him.
Me on the other hand had the best time of my life. Thailand, what a party paradise!
PS: Mr Difficult is still calling and smsing daily, apologizing and wanting to make plans for the weekend? What to do what to do?!
PPS: Met new Guy he’s a Chelsea supporter like me, I see a future already!

Mr Difficult
I have been flirting with Mr Difficult for quite some time now and what I’ve learnt so far is.. It’s not worth it. All the daily messages and phone calls are all talk and no action… The “oh babe I really want to see you” has amounted to nothing and seeing him is next to impossible. I’ll probably have more success seducing Mr Gay South Africa. I’m starting to wonder if I’m being played or is this Guy just a complete and total failure when it comes to making arrangements and sticking to them?
Cancelled date: Rushing home in traffic, hooting like a crazy lady at people to move outta my way and waving my middle finger graciously at all those wonderful taxi drivers. (yes I have a death wish) Managed to get home with just enough time to jump in the shower, put on a sexy dress and some make up, (Not that I need any… Ha-ha) We were supposed to be meeting for dinner , instead I spent 2 hours chewing on my pillow from the intense hunger I was feeling, waiting for him to let me know where we would be meeting up. After 9 I received a message “Babe I’m leaving now, where you want to go?” As if… this guy actually thought I’d still be seeing him! Told him where to shove it, made myself an egg sandwich since I literally had nothing else in my fridge and spent the night mumbling AS$hole while watching a movie.
I have no more patience and refuse to be cancelled on again. So after that I thought enough is enough and decided to play a little game of my own. When he called again, apologizing profusely asking if we can meet up on Saturday, I figured this was the perfect opportunity for some payback. I was more than happy to accept his invite to meet up for some drinks and made all the appropriate arrangements. “Sure hun, meet you there at 2” and having no intention of going what so ever.
When Saturday 2am arrived so did all the messages of “where you” and “I’m already here” I thought the best way to handle this was with total silence. Dear Mr difficult I hope you’ve learnt your lesson.
PS: Lesson learnt, if you are trying to get to know somebody, cancelling or making imaginary plans is not the way to do it, it will come back and bite you in the as$. I am now starting a douche list, watch out boys!
PPS: Spent two hours cleaning my car yesterday thinking I was being super clever: catching a tan, getting a workout, having a clean car and saving money - 4 in 1 , only to find it this morning covered in Birds shit. Will have to take it to a carwash after all! FML!

Indecent exposure
Be ready to laugh your ass off at what i have been getting up to recently!
Yes i do plan to book myself into the nearest mental hospital!
Last week is where it all goes wrong!! Car dude asked me out for dinner, so after annoying the crap out of him with what i thought were super funny jokes i said yes... (oh decided to meet him coz didn’t want him to know where i lived just in case he was a stalker or worse i didn’t want to see him again - had images of him breathing heavily outside my window) so ya decided to meet
him... took me forever to find the restaurant coz he gave me the wrong name... Not a very good sign of his intelligence. Finally got there and he actually seemed like a nice guy (and we all know I don’t do nice) we ordered a bottle of wine.. (he's not much of a drinker) so i ended up drinking the bottle plus a bit more and yip you guessed it tequila - it’s becoming my best friend... i become my alter ego the confident drunk! Dinner conversation was me laughing hysterically at my own jokes, while he sat there with a blank look on his face. Clearly not getting my sense of humour. I would have been better off talking to myself.
Well dinner was done... (in case u want to know what i ate, i had Alfredo - it had ham in it so had to pick it out one by one while Car dude laughed at me and probably thought I was mentally deranged) we ended up going to my car (oh I’m cringing while writing this) ended up smooching him for a very looong time, things got a bit heated and next thing I knew I sitting on top of him and my top was coming off... (all by itself, wasn’t me) all of a sudden the police drove up to catch us in the act.. i mean what the f*ck? Is someone up there against me getting some action? (All I can say is it’s been awhile) we ended up being harassed for like an hour and had to bribe them, isn't there any real crime in SA that needs solving... they wanted to arrest us for indecent exposure (have u ever?) Not one of my best moments flashing the police, but hey that’s what wine does to me especially when it’s in large quantities. Very embarrassing situation! Thanks to the corrupt South Africa police we got away with a R200 bribe (i paid it) if u think about it i paid R200 to take my own top off..!! wahahahaha - ok ok not a laughing matter...Now u know how he got the name Car dude! Got home at 2am... The next day was a blur, i couldn’t even put words together to create simple sentences! What I’ve learnt is that the effect wine has on my general safety knows no limits. I cannot be trusted. And hopefully what happens in the car park, stays in the car park. Along with my pride and dignity.
After this little unfortunate event, I have since found out that Car dude is a member at my gym, where I now run into him daily and am forced to come up with every excuse known to man to get away from him “Sorry I can’t chat my foot is bleeding and my shoe is filling up with blood” and make a run for it before he looks down. I have now discovered that he is an award winning douche bag!

18 hour Cape Town trip
Waking up at 4am is a painful experience especially when you’ve only had 4 hours sleep. I had to convince and bribe my eyes to open with false promises of a full night’s sleep tomorrow.. haha yeah right suckers! Even my dog horrified turned away and went back to sleep, while I flopped around my room trying to get dressed. Still half a sleep I drove myself to the airport at a ridiculous speed since I was running late as usual and there was absolutely no one around, all the clever people were still sleeping.
The airport and my flight was packed with people who looked and felt like me, bleeding eyes and constant yawning. I took my seat and started finding good sleep positions, as there was no way I could possibly stay awake for the next 2 hours, err that is until not one but TWO amazingly hot guys sat in the seats next to mine, the flight was spent with smiling and giggling at absolute rubbish, again my inability to act normal around a good looking guy kicked in and all went downhill from there.
Cape Town lovely as always wasn’t seen by me, all was a rush to get to the meeting, my rental car resembled something that looked like a huge microwave and rattled at a speed of 120km, well after the booking confusion I was just grateful I even got a car. Sat in a boardroom for 4 hours, lost concentration after 2 and the rest was a blur. Back at the airport dropped off the rattling microwave and zoomed off to check in only to be notified that there has been a delay in the flight schedule which resulted in me sitting at the airport for 2 and a halfhours. Oh the joys of flying Kulula. The flight back was spent trying not to fall asleep on the unfortunate man sitting next to me and listening to a bunch of screaming children (I must be one of the unluckiest people when it comes to children, they seem to be everywhere I am, isn’t there like a special cargo hold cage thingy you can put them in?)
The plane bounced on the run way and we were home! Home sweet home!
Looking forward to my next CT trip in December, a whole week of fabulous and no work!!
PS: Sandwich dilemma, the guys I work with decided to go to lunch, so I asked them to get me a sandwich, on arrival back to the office I got the good news: I still have R40 and the bad news: they forgot the sandwich so I am now resorting to eating my table and will be working on the floor from now on!

Babyshower time
The sexy cousin and I were 2 hours late to My Best Friends babyshower, what can I say, you got to make an entrance. Tripping over babies and presents I finally made my way over to the first available seat, made an attempt at some crappy apology and asked if they got any alcohol.. No they didn’t.
While the Best Friend was opening up her mountain of presents, a friend commented on my boobs telling me how big they’ve gotten and proceeded to ask if I’m pregnant.. What??!! Have you totally f*cking lost your mind, what kind of sick joke are you playing.. was my initial thought which I managed to keep in and gently laugh it off while thinking shut up have you looked in the mirror lately! The thing about babyshowers is that its only fun for the mother to be, while she’s opening up presents for 3 hours the rest of us got to sit there and watch, which is a lot like torture.
Observing the party I noticed how the crowd was separated in two… the actual babyshower where the fourth hundredth present was being opened and the younger unmarried “let’s talk sh*t" corner where I should have been! But unfortunately I love my friend enough to sit through the gruelling 3 hour present opening… and a face cringing talk about birth and babies. At some point my eyes got so heavy I might of actually had a 2 minute power nap without anyone noticing. The Sexy Cousin who is anything but a baby lover was thinking of escape plots and of excuses to leave, while fighting the urge to sleep. The one present i did enjoy was an enormous green with black polka dot underwear the mother to be received from her mother, I proceeded to laugh while holding on my chair trying not to fall off, I've seen smaller parachutes...
The screamer – A friend of ours baby has the scream of a thousand razor blades being stabbed into your ears, even the deaf granny on the otherside was horrified to hear again. The screamer spent most of the afternoon screaming blue murder while the mother didn’t seem to notice.
PS: I’m flying to Cape Town tomorrow, unfortunately it’s all work and no play.. Let’s hope I get seated next to some sexy single (or not I'm not fussy) hunk, who will entertain me for the whole 2 hour flight with his charm!
