You're the only person that reads this thing, so I thought I'd pop you a quick life update. :)
Life is crazy busy at the moment. I've spent my last two Sundays at work; awesome huh? I think I may also go into the office tomorrow to do a bit more of a catch-up. Our server... wait for it... is getting a format and reinstall, as well as ALL of the computers. Barry has decided to start from scratch, because there are just too many issues happening with the current network set-up. SO the next couple of weeks are going to be... interesting.
How are you enjoying your new job? I laughed so hard when you said that your computer broke on your first day. I hope you're enjoying it at least, and enjoying the very corporate life.
Annie seems to be working out well, although she is very young and very much not used to a full working day :P She'll get into the swing of it though. Her kryptonite is sex the way yours is bums :P Katia, Annie and I were having the most random conversation about brazilian waxes and men shaving their pubes the other day and the most awful thought popped into my head. I wanted to tell Katia "wait til you get your first pube wedged into your teeth, you will be thankful I told you that men should shave" ... but, amazingly my brain kicked in before that could come out of my mouth. Annie would have dropped dead! :P
Speaking of men shaving... Elsa, life has gotten so weird.
Let's start with the simple stuff... Jayson has run away altogether. He deleted me from his friends list on FB and has just run away. I'm not going to chase after him. I'm just not. My life is complicated enough without me running after a man who isn't interested enough in me to keep me as a friend on Facebook.
Here's the complicated stuff... Darren. Actually, on second thought, I can't post this online. And I told you that I resigned from being Barry's online stalker right? He actually called me to tell me that he was sad. Why is it that my life is always full of strange men? I still sms him though, and get the most random and fun answers back.
Poi is so much fun! I'm loving it! It's getting hard though, but I guess it will get easier when I know what heck I'm doing. Faith has baled on lessons... Actually, Faith has resigned! I'm sad :(
I joined a really great poi forum on Home of Poi, and have learned quite a bit and met a nice guy (not romantically - he's 24 and has a gf). But it's nice to meet other poi spinners outside of Robyn's circle. He lives North KZN/Zululand way.
Anyways my friend that's all I have the brain power for this evening.
Missing you and your craziness. :)

TRON Legacy
Saw it and loved it! But it could have had a bit more 3D in the 3D :PWill post some thoughts on it another time.
It's been a while...
How often do I say that? It has been a while... 2010 is over, 2011 is in full swing, and I had the holiday of a lifetime in between.
Elsa mentioned the other week that I hadn't updated this thing in ages, so I thought I'd best. Although, this is going to be a "quickie".
So I started my holiday with having nothing to do and ended up getting a hug that I've been waiting 6 years for... Who says I'm impatient? :P It's a bit of a long story, and now isn't the time to put it all into words. My brain is tired. I did get some sun on the ONE weekend that we haven't had rain. Actually, I got fried by the sun. That's what I get for being a dumbass and going out without sunscreen. I'll post more photies and my holiday update soon :) In the meantime... here I am!

Jay & Ash, or Ash & Jay's photography challenges :)
Jay and I are taking a photo a weekend. So far we've had "Tree" and "Colour". I'm not over-joyed with my tree photograph, but I like my colour submission. Check it out...
My latest gadget...
Is this little shnungie... Yes, in silver :)It's the Canon Ixus 105 - 12.1mp point-and-click. I got it from ORMS in Cape Town via their website. That is one great store. I ordered the camera and a memory card at about 3:30pm, and it arrived at my office by 10am the next day. Thank you to Shawn at ORMS for being so flipping efficient!

A quick life update…
My lack of posts over the past couple of months should be an indication of how my life is going, although not quite where my life is going.
Work is beginning to consume my life, to the point that I’m beginning to miss the odd dance class and the odd appointment. This is going to come to an end though, as I’m going to start forcing myself into a routine of leaving at 5:00 on the dot. Most of the people in the office leave at 4:30…
Leaving work late every night is not conducive to creating a happier, healthier me; which is why I left Evil Corp. to begin with.
Dancing has become a bit of a chore, but I do think that this is due to the fact that I’m over-tired by Wednesday evening and really just want to head home. I actually had a small emotional breakdown last week at dancing and ended up leaving half way through. It (“it” being my life) all just became a bit too much and as a result I just felt completely overwhelmed while trying to learn a new, but basic, step to finish off the dance that we are learning. Anyways, this week there isn’t a class as the school holidays have kicked in so I will get a chance to leave early (or rather on time) and head home to relax for the evening.
“Home” is a stressful environment at this point, and actually has been since my grandfather moved in with us. He has, however, decided to move out again. I think that my mother’s constant misery has finally gotten to him. He’s moving back to the Eastern Cape, although where exactly I am not sure. My mother drilled him on it on Sunday morning, but I don’t know what the outcome of that conversation was as I opted to avoid any inevitable conflict and go shower.
My mother is another story altogether. She and I went to Gateway a couple of weeks (or three, I’m not sure) back and, as always, ended up having an argument about her stupid boyfriend. He really is the human equivalent of Septicemia… Septicemia is a revolting bacterium that spreads throughout your body and destroys your life. He has done nothing but destroy our lives since he came into them. I take heart in the fact that “the wheel turns”. Anyways, back to my original story… we had an argument and as a result both ended up in tears in Gateway when she literally tossed at me the fact that she has had a heart-attack because she is stressed. Actually, she had a heart-attack because her blood pressure and her cholesterol are through the roof, but she won’t do anything about them. Look, she is on medication for both, but quite frankly, unless she changes her eating habits and gets some exercise in her life she’s not going to get any better and, as a result, another heart-attack will definitely be on the cards. What grates me to the bone is that she didn’t tell me when it happened, but instead waited until we were arguing to throw it in my face. I can’t tell you the level of anger I feel towards her and have felt towards her since that day.
This has all motivated me to begin sorting out my life. I’m saving now… hard. I want to move out and the only way I’m going to do that is if I get my finances under control and save for the furniture and appliances I’m going to need when I move, as well as the first month of double rent.
Anyways, enough about my mother…
Jason… Well, I’ve put him and whatever could have happened between us on hold for now. Not indefinitely, just for now. I think that at this point in my life trying to start anything with anyone would be a disaster. I’m not in a happy place and I can’t rely on someone else to be my happiness for me, so I need to find my “inner zen” before I can begin a new relationship. Moving out will help with that. As a result of that though, I cancelled our weekend away. I am sad about that, but everything happens for a reason and I guess that this is just one of those things that needed to happen, even though it’s not the best thing to have done.
That’s my life in a nutshell at this point. I’m also doing the odd bit of beading and making the odd pieces of jewellery, but I’ve not really gotten much further with it than that.
And that’s me for now…

Photies of le moi :)
I thought I'd let you know what my new hair looks like :)
This is the colour. It's brown with blonde highlights and black underneath :)
Below are a couple of pics I went a little crazy with :)
This is what my hair looked like the day I had it done... I can never replicate the style exactly!

Something pretty...
David Delamare is one of my favourite artists, if not my favourite altogether.
This painting of his is part of a collection, which I bought in the form of a book called Mermaids and Magic Shows. It's called Bathing in Moonlight.

Little bif of scandal...
One of the guys in my office has gotten his girlfriend pregnant! Now, as great a guy as he is, surely he must realise that pregnancy before marriage is not ideal?
Thankfully he is a good guy, loves his girlfriend and has every intention of marrying her :) 10 Points to the guy for being a good guy.
OK, back to the grindstone I go!

Oh! Btw...
I had my hair done this weekend, but I keep forgetting to take pics. Maybe after I've had my eyebrows waxed this weekend I'll take a snap or two of the hair of doom :)
I laughed so hard at this...
Check out the TV... Seriously, this seems to be a Wii game!
"Yes, you too could learn how to stick your arm up a horses ass in the comfort of your own home for just 5 easy payments of $19.95!"
WOW - Fat is on the rise
Bare in mind that you are considered obese if you are 30KG's or more overweight. That means that just under 30% of America is 30KG's or more overweight. Hecticals.

Btw... that is NOT my ass :P
Avenged Sevenfold: Nightmare
I picked it up from Look and Listen last night (not cheap at R179.95) and spent my evening listening to it.
There's a bit of a story behind this album because their drummer died last year and much of the album is a dedication to him... from what I can see. You can pick up more information on Wikipedia about it.
Little catch up
September is coming folks! September, in general, is a good month for me. It’s normally a month of new beginnings and new adventures in my life. Let’s hope that this September lives up to the expectations I’ve placed on it.
DoD is going well… well, as well as well could be, I guess. The first week I lost 1.8 kilo’s, the second 0.4 kilo’s (completely disappointing, but what can you do?) and the third (weigh-in was yesterday) 1.3 kilo’s, bringing us to a grand total of 3.5 kilo’s in 3 weeks. I will be skinny yet! Ok, not skinny… I never want to be skinny, just thinner than I am now.
Another busy weekend is looming. Saturday is eyebrow waxing day and Katia and I are going to Tala in the afternoon for the Bridal Fair. Sunday is Pat’s wedding and Monday is a public holiday, which I am going to spend with mom, relaxing.
Tonight is dancing, but to be very honest with you, I’m so not in the mood… But I’ll go anyways, as I need the exercise.
Well, that’s it from me today :)
Have a good one all
