This just killed me (I just don't handle suspense very well...)
THE REDHEAD
A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead
sitting at the next table.
He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to
talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket
toward the man.
He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air and hands it back.
"Oh my, I am so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in
place. "Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you," she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together and afterwards they go to the
theatre followed by drinks.
They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his.
She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to
her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.
They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings.
The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible!
"You know," he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to
every guy you meet? "
"No," she replies. . . ."

She says: "No…it’s because you just happened to catch my eye."
(Oh shut up, and just forward it!)

:D
The past two days have been hectic. Ok the past week has been hectic - we've been packing and moving stuff and now finally we're IN!!! We took the day off yesterday and we were up about 7am. Quick pack everything rush rush move Dude, and we didn't get a chance to spray the washmachine (we did open it in the new place and there isn't any sign of an infestation). Rush pack box move shift and then the movers came at 9:30. They were done by about 11:30 or so. They really worked hard, managing to bundle the bed upstairs (scratching themselves against a piece of wood with nails sticking out - it's sposed to have another piece of wood hammered into it with a tapestry in between).
They were done, so we went back to the dump to get the fishtank evacuated. It was quite a procedure, but we managed it in 2 trips. Basically as soon as we got there we started to set it up. It took AGES but it's done. I put them in very late at night cos it took that long. One of the female congos didn't make it though - she died during the night :(
Dude LOVES the new place. I love it too. I am just so impatient for everything to be packed away and put in the right place. And then I want to stitch! Warpony has a place to go now!
Ok, now, about Tuesday! I phoned the jewellery shop at about 16:00 to check whether the ring had arrived and YAY it had! So I said we'd come that evening. We RUSHED out of the flat at 18:20. I phoned from the car and asked the lady whether they could wait for us - they close at 18:45. I said we were 5 max 10 mins away and she said "ok I'll wait"... so we got there at 18:46. They were both shocked that we managed to get there so quickly hehe but we RAN through the mall to the shop. Got it. It fits. It is BEAUTIFUL! It is JUST RIGHT! I love it.
That was Tuesday evening. Yesterday we weren't at work... so today was the first time the ppl at work had seen it. I showed it to a colleague who then promptly went around the entire office telling everyone! Felt SO shy but the fuss is over now LOL!
I'm SO impatient to go home and unpack! We didn't actually unpack much at all yesterday because our focus was singularly on the fishtank - we can sleep on the floor but they can't so that was the thing we had to do. YAY I can't believe it! We're OUT of the dump!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to take pics of the place once everything's unpacked. But, unfortunately, we will not have internet for 6 to 8 weeks so I will only be able to post the pics once we are back online. That is the trouble with a monopoly such as helkom. LING!!!!!!!!!!
Latazzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!

News and overexcitement
We met up with the owners of the new place on Saturday... basically went through the place, asked questions, checked stuff out... got the keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Basically all day yesterday we moved stuff. We have a few things left in the junkroom to move out... tonight we're gonna start packing things like clothes in the cupboards (except for clothes for tomorrow and Wednesday!)... crockery and cutlery... odds and ends. We have to get packets to put the fish while we transport them. We've got a moving company, they're gonna come at 8:30 to move stuff. We're gonna get up earlier than that though, to evacuate Dude to the new place and then open the washingmachine, microwave and fridge-back to spray the cockroaches. So we will have had to take all the crockery+food+everything out and empty the kitchen before then. G's gonna sand down the kitchen table and paint it either tonight or tomorrow... we're gonna use it as a fishtank table because it's very strong and the shelves below the tabletop can hold the fishfood and equipment and Dude's stuff.
We're gonna have to move the fishtank last on Wednesday... it's gonna be a timeconsuming process. I just hope G'll get the whole day off!
I CAN'T WAIT. The new place is so lovely! I've already staked out a sunnyspot and put a table there ready to stitch! The violet is already by the kitchen window. I've already put a stool in front of the bedroom window to sit and enjoy the view.
We've found lovely barstools to put at the kitchen counter, and also we've got our eyes on a lounge-suite which is both comfy and affordable. It's gonna be SO EXCITING! Wow! I will have to take photos and stuff once we've moved in. It's so quiet. The garden is cute! The yesterday, today & tomorrow plant is in full bloom. There's a jasmine plant... wow!
The wedding arrangments HAHAHAHA it sounds so nuts to type that... it's only November next year but I'm already getting all ideas, which I think is a good idea since time will go so quickly. I've decided on a colour-scheme, have an idea for flowers, got a dress-design in my mind's eye, it's all so exciting and the whole thing is a little daunting because it's such a big thing and lots to organise but I'm sure it'll be a damn fine blast!!!!!!!!!
In other news: DOOSTYD IS OVER!!! Some poor bastard has taken the place! Can't believe it but anyway, at least we NEVER have to do doostyd EVER again!!!!!!!

News updates!
Here's Warpony, circa yesterday before I stitched a bit more!
.JPG)
We saw Transformers last night... It was more fun than I expected (I loved (old) Bumblebee, I want a car like that hehe)... some parts were rather lame but it was enjoyable enough :D
In other news: the ring is away to be resized. It is the 2nd last in the whole country, they only made 12 of its design. Wow! Now after choosing it and everything and trying it on, I feel weird cos it's so valuable and I am of course getting jittery like "will it actually suit me?" and stuff... but I reckon once it's the right size and I put it on, it'll be awesome. It really is beautiful. A ring to last a lifetime!
I got hold of the owners of our new place to organise when we will get the keys to it, to start moving our stuff. We're gonna get the keys on Tuesday, start moving stuff (all the stuff that we alone can move - clothes, boxes, crockery etc etc etc, basically anything we can fit in G's car). I've taken Wednesday off and G will take half day Wednesday. We're gonna get a moving co in to move all the furniture. It's not a lot - bed, 2 desks, 2 chests of drawers, 2 wardrobes, 3 couches... ). Then, from Wednesday we will be LIVING there!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!
I REALLY CAN'T WAIT!
Saturday we're having Synd as per normal - the farewell for X is NEXT Saturday. We're gonna have Synd on Friday next week, at our NEW PLACE! EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK :D
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had this page open
waiting to come up with something to blog... it's been since about 9am. Nothing's come to mind.
They're getting the ring in from upcountry, it'll be arriving on Thursday so we're gonna check it out on the weekend. I'm SO EXCITED!!
Saturday we're going to X&L's party - X's gonna be in Sweden for 6 months. Might have Synd on the Friday. Saturday morning we're gonna have doostyd, then we're gonna go to the shop to check out the ring!!!
Next week we move. The actual date isn't confirmed (I'm waiting for the owner guy to reply to my email with a date that we can get the keys and start moving). There are 11 days til we've OFFICIALLY moved in... but it's likely that we'll be able to move in before the actual month-end. Can't wait. Need to take a leave day to move everything.
I CAN'T WAIT to be OUT of the DUMP! Everything is so fucking moldy and my allergies are hell. The wash-machine has cockroaches IN IT... we're gonna have to open it up to kill/spray/something drastic to get rid of them. They're probably in the microwave and fridge too. HATE that fucking place with all its fucking problems! Today (as I type this) they're at the flat putting in built-in cupboards. No, they COULDN'T wait 10 days. Fuckers. So G's wasting an entire day there.
I will not clean the place. We're going to be out of there next week sometime, they can HAVE a dirty basin/unvacuumed floor/unwashed floor/unclean sink etc etc etc. Fuck them. Not MY problem if the 'new tenants' aren't happy. *I* don't give a shit. Not doing chores gives me more time to stitch! I was stitching yesterday afternoon right til about 10pm. Warpony looks gorgeous (as usual hehe).
WANNA STITCH!! WANNA MOVE!! WANNA GO GET THE RING!! etc etc etc...
EEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!
We have a LOT of planning to do before November next year - yes, we kinda decided on a date! :D And I've sorta got an idea for a colour theme :D

WTF?!?!?!??!
Today was D-DAY.. Doos-day. Fuckday basically... they came to put in the built-in cupboards... and made a fucking mess. The smell at the flat was so bad the inside of the CAR smelled all gluey from the fumes clinging to G's CLOTHES!
So anyway, they basically arrived at 10:00 and only LEFT at 18:30. Not 17:00... no, apparently they were to work til 18:00. They used the bedroom as a fucking woodworkshop, so there was sawdust EVERYwhere. And they didn't even put the furniture back where it originally was. So WE had to clean up. FOR THE NEW TENANTS. The NEW tenants don't get allergies from the fumes... or raw sinuses from the smell and dust, the NEW tenants don't have to be interrupted with INSTALLATIONS which IMPROVE this DUMP for THEM, the NEW tenants don't have to sit til 18:30 with WORKMEN in their BEDROOM, oh no, WE have to endure it. FUCK YOU PHI. I don't mind saying it over and over. FUCK YOU PHI.
Fuckers!
Oh but what's funny is that they drilled a hole right through the wall through the loo-roll holder brick!
*sigh* FUCK YOU PHI
*sigh*
Dude is high now I guess. Poor thing, I dunno how he survived such toxic fumes. Bastards.
What else is there to blog. Nothing I guess. I'm tired. I'm so tired. Powerlessness tires you out. Is there any payback? Will there be any payback for this SHIT? Bastards getting what is due to them? Mrs Um Green, fuck you, you old crone!

Trrrrrrrrrrring
Kinder Egg, according to the Wisdom of Kit:
"Pull it open and then open the one half and play with the toy and forget the chocolate... and then finish the toy assembly and find the chocolate again and go mmmmmmmmmm"
hehe totally off topic I guess but anyway, what WAS the topic?
Well, on Friday I was "windowshopping" online for bling... teehee calling it that makes it seem less OMG IT'S A RING...................... AN ENGAGEMENT RING GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH like yeah... it's like. Special, not like OMGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH "engagement ring" sounds so clichéd. But ANYway...
so I was looking online and some of them are SO GROSS... totally wrestlers' belts or something you might find in a computer game "collect all the jewels and amulets" CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE COLLECTED ALL 5/5. ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL *tring tring tring ping ping ping*...
So anyway, I found something that I really like, so we went to see if we could find it in the mall nearby. The branch there didn't have it. This afternoon we went to another mall. I'd phoned beforehand to find out whether they have it, and the lady said their area manager was coming in the afternoon and she'd ask her to bring it. But when we got there apparently the area manager hadn't been able to make it. So either they're gonna arrange for her to bring it to us at home after work (I doubt it'd be possible though) or we can go check it out next weekend.
Here's a pic... it's so prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Yes, another post titled AAAAAAAAAAH! (or something similar)
LOCOROCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hehe why am I nuts today...
Well loads of stuff has happened the past *week*... only a week. We flew to Durban last Saturday. EEEEEEeeeeeeeeekkk... so exciting and we got to the airport and checked in - "window seat or aisle seat?" "(eeeek! :D) window please!!!"... and we end up sitting in like the only row withOUT a window. Friggin' of course, roll eyes everyone. Hehehe... but anyway, we got to Durban, it's so cool! Collected our hire-car which was about as powerful as a lawnmower. Brand new citigolf, with 30km on the clock, and superweak. We trundled out of the airport, got lost, and went around again back into the airport and out again to get onto the PROPER national road :D
Hurtled along (hey, the car was trying its best I'll have you know ;) ) through to the place we were staying. Cute place, bigger than we'd intended but they'd already had a booking for their smaller place so they moved us to this one which was still available and gave it at basically the same price as the smaller place.
AAHHH it was so nice to be on holiday. No deadlines/times to be places, getting up early (at least to be somewhere at a specific time - like work), anything. Could stay up late and sit around and have a mug of tea just whenever. Strange thing about Durban: the sun comes up REALLY early, but then it goes down super-early too. So it's pitchdark and only 6pm. And then it feels like you've been awake until 3am cos it's been dark for ages and it's only 8pm hehe. Something to get used to obviously, because everyone around there is up and about at 6am!
Heheheheheheheheheh!!!!!!!!
The weather there "sucked" according to G's family and everyone that we spoke to there, but it was still 10C warmer than at home, so no comparison! It rained and was windy and everything, but I prefer that ANY time to the damp chills of the dump(flat) we're in now.
We checked out the big mall there (Gateway), went to the beach a few times, went out to lunch and to a farm (petting farm) with G's aunt+uncle+cousin and his grandparents, went to supper at G's aunt+uncle and cousins... went to the casino & gambled a little bit (it's really not as exciting as it's made out to be LOL). Went to see the Simpsons movie! SPIDER PIG FTW! Went to see the Umgeni River Bird Park (SO COOL) and Ushaka Seaworld (but they closed early so we basically had a 5min run around the aquarium trying to see everything before they closed for some or other reason). It was so cool learning our way around everywhere, checking out where to go on the map and invariably getting there via a totally different route.
All in all a FABULOUS time! We flew back and got a window seat this time, the view was spectacular - once again I am amazed at the size of the land and just how high up we are in the plane... it's eery. Clear skies all the way til I think the edge of the Western Cape... and then the clouds started... growing thicker until it was solid. And then coming in to land, we broke through the clouds over False Bay and it was GORGEOUS! Greeny blue water with patches of shadow from the clouds. Gorgeous!
Got back on Saturday. Took P out for lunch (after fetching Dude + G's car from his Dad's place after getting picked up at the airport by G's dad... ), he'd been flat-sitting, doing DOOSTYD for us... ((((Oh, on Friday, while we were having lunch at the Casino, rental-asses phoned me looking for G, they want to put in built-in-cupboards... can they come on the 20th... ARSEHOLES! SURELY YOU CAN FUCKING WAIT 10 FUCKING DAYS?? Retards!))))
Can't WAIT... we're gonna be out of the place in 17 days (more likely to be fewer days though!)
And in other news: It was G and my 1st year anniversary yesterday! We've been together for 1 year! :D Love you, my Squishy!
G had arranged "secrets" for yesterday... he's been driving me nuts with curiosity and impatience, I've been dying to find out what they are... and yesterday I did!
He gave me a sparkly shiny little paper bag with three wrapped parcels. They had a particular order to them... so I opened the first box. It was quite heavy, and a nice rectangular shape. The kinda shape you get with boxes that contain such things as a 'user manual' hehehhehehehe. It was that kinda box! It was a PSP box!!!!!!!!!!
MAN it's so cute! So funky shiny small little big colourful (the screen is bright), LOVELy little thing!
Then onto the next parcel. Smaller... lighter. Carefully unwrapped it, and it's LOCOROCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO ADORABLE! Waited ages (ok only 2hrs 20mins but I was so excited it felt like years) for the PSP to charge, and it was about 11pm when it was done and then we loaded the stuff on it and put Locoroco in it and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Hehe, Locoroco is too cute for words!
And the 3rd parcel? Well, that's still a bit of a secret.... all will be revealed soon!
LOCOROCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could stay up late and sit around and have a mug of tea just whenever. Strange thing about Durban: the sun comes up REALLY early, but then it goes down super-early too. So it's pitchdark and only 6pm. And then it feels like you've been awake until 3am cos it's been dark for ages and it's only 8pm hehe. Something to get used to obviously, because everyone around there is up and about at 6am!
Heheheheheheheheheh!!!!!!!!
The weather there "sucked" according to G's family and everyone that we spoke to there, but it was still 10C warmer than at home, so no comparison! It rained and was windy and everything, but I prefer that ANY time to the damp chills of the dump(flat) we're in now.
We checked out the big mall there (Gateway), went to the beach a few times, went out to lunch and to a farm (petting farm) with G's aunt+uncle+cousin and his grandparents, went to supper at G's aunt+uncle and cousins... went to the casino & gambled a little bit (it's really not as exciting as it's made out to be LOL). Went to see the Simpsons movie! SPIDER PIG FTW! Went to see the Umgeni River Bird Park (SO COOL) and Ushaka Seaworld (but they closed early so we basically had a 5min run around the aquarium trying to see everything before they closed for some or other reason). It was so cool learning our way around everywhere, checking out where to go on the map and invariably getting there via a totally different route.
All in all a FABULOUS time! We flew back and got a window seat this time, the view was spectacular - once again I am amazed at the size of the land and just how high up we are in the plane... it's eery. Clear skies all the way til I think the edge of the Western Cape... and then the clouds started... growing thicker until it was solid. And then coming in to land, we broke through the clouds over False Bay and it was GORGEOUS! Greeny blue water with patches of shadow from the clouds. Gorgeous!
Got back on Saturday. Took P out for lunch (after fetching Dude + G's car from his Dad's place after getting picked up at the airport by G's dad... ), he'd been flat-sitting, doing DOOSTYD for us... ((((Oh, on Friday, while we were having lunch at the Casino, rental-asses phoned me looking for G, they want to put in built-in-cupboards... can they come on the 20th... ARSEHOLES! SURELY YOU CAN FUCKING WAIT 10 FUCKING DAYS?? Retards!))))
Can't WAIT... we're gonna be out of the place in 17 days (more likely to be fewer days though!)
And in other news: It was G and my 1st year anniversary yesterday! We've been together for 1 year! :D Love you, my Squishy!
G had arranged "secrets" for yesterday... he's been driving me nuts with curiosity and impatience, I've been dying to find out what they are... and yesterday I did!
He gave me a sparkly shiny little paper bag with three wrapped parcels. They had a particular order to them... so I opened the first box. It was quite heavy, and a nice rectangular shape. The kinda shape you get with boxes that contain such things as a 'user manual' hehehhehehehe. It was that kinda box! It was a PSP box!!!!!!!!!!
MAN it's so cute! So funky shiny small little big colourful (the screen is bright), LOVELy little thing!
Then onto the next parcel. Smaller... lighter. Carefully unwrapped it, and it's LOCOROCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO ADORABLE! Waited ages (ok only 2hrs 20mins but I was so excited it felt like years) for the PSP to charge, and it was about 11pm when it was done and then we loaded the stuff on it and put Locoroco in it and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Hehe, Locoroco is too cute for words!
And the 3rd parcel? Well, that's still a bit of a secret.... all will be revealed soon!

Aaahsum!!!!!
Everything's awesome this week. It's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH (I'm listening to the Chembros' new album and I LOVE IT! a FUNKy song just started as I am typing... hence the interruption)... aaaaaaaaa...
Things have broken through and improved! It's so cool.
The receptionistRETARD has left. I overheard her on Monday afternoon telling someone that she'd be in late the next day cos she had an appointment. Then she left early, saying she had an appointment. She didn't pitch the next day. It was her last day, but she didn't pitch because (silly silly bosses) she'd been paid on payday along with the rest of us. So basically she stole that day's pay from them. What an absolute bitch. I still hope someone drives over her some day.
Anyway, the new girl who is just temping is very sweet. A very quiet girl, very polite and very small hehe. Such a pleasure (in her own right, not just in contrast to The Lady) to work with.
Sis got transferred back to the library she used to work part-time at before. She's permanent there now, which is very cool cos she loved it there and couldn't stand the library she was moved to and made permanent (a very boring, dull place). So things are good there now. Hopefully everything else will fall into step too.
I CAN'T WAIT: We are off on a week's holiday tomorrow. We fly at 13:40 or so. I CAN'T WAIT! I've already packed most of my stuff, just gotta unpack my work bag and take some things from it in my other bag. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
There are 28 days until we MOVE OUT! It's so exciting too! I have this extreme wish that after work we could go home to the new place not the current dump. Too exciting! I'm so impatient to just MOVE and start enjoying the new place. To enjoy the sunlight, to sleep late (no flat viewing shit), to enjoy the carpeted bedrooms/staircase, to enjoy the spacious kitchen, to enjoy the little garden, to enjoy the modern bathroom, AAAAAAAAAH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Hehehe, I must seem like the most impatient person right now but I just am so excited about it.
Needless to say I haven't been stitching much lately... poor 'Pony. Well, when we get back from the holiday, there will be 3 weeks left so maybe I will stitch then. that last week we will be packing everything finally and moving it all so I guess I'll only have 2 weeks to stitch. Ah well, we'll see.
TODAY IS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new CDs I bought ROCK!!!! Absolute Garbage (the remix disk is COOL), Suede (it kinda has been sidelined by the ... ) CHEMICAL BROTHERS! Man oh man I'm enjoying this album!!!!!!!!! Also got the Cardigans' First Band on the Moon. Hey... haven't I blogged about this already? AYYYYYYYYYYYY I dunno... well if I have, I'M STILL GLAD I GOT THE ALBUMS!!
*turns ipod up a bit louder*
I probably won't blog again til we're back from the holiday, so til then HAVE A BLAST!!
