Weekend Learning's

A heavy drowning heart might look like this, perhaps.

Weekends seem to be coming fast and furious these days. Its almost impossible to keep up especially when one keeps so busy. Before you know it, it’ll be Easter again. Gosh. This is what I learned.

• I really hate driving all over the show, spending ample time in the car is not my idea of fun.
• I have decided to stop wasting my money and start saving the little that I have for the bigger picture... Watch this space.
• A relationship with no trust is like a cell phone with no service, all you can do is play games. Thanks for proving that to me.
• Bingo Players was amazing, they really are serious performers! Shame about the venue.
• My girls and I can sneak into any venue. Hearts beating, big smiles and a little giggle can get you anywhere.
• Autumn is definitely on the way, it might still be 30+ during the day but the chill of the wind is so cold. Need cuddles.
• ‘Me Time’ is a divine little mani and pedi spot in Parkhurst. Sitting in a giant massage chair while two people work on you is heaven and a real pamper session. Doing it with your bestie and talking absolute hogwash makes it even more relaxing... Watch out for the paraffin dip, yowza! Hot!
• Bottega is amazing. Sitting in the sun under the water mister loving the beautiful people and sipping on the most delicious cocktails must be one of the best things to do on a Saturday afternoon. The portions are huge so go easy on yourself!
• Sometimes it's hard to figure out who has your back, from who has it just long enough to stab you in it!
• The Fire and Ice Hotel in Melrose Arch is still one of the most gorgeous places in jozi. It really is nippie so go now for a milkshake, nom! Good memories.
• The best things in life are unseen that’s why we close our eyes when we kiss, laugh and dream.
• Mezepoli is a Greek restaurant in Melrose Arch, their tapas are to die for. Munching over little meals of delight and finishing each others sentences makes for silent laughter (you know when you laugh so hard no sound comes out) and very sore tummy muscles. Beautiful!
• When I have a one of The Counter’s brownies in my bag I clutch it that much tighter, you never know what freaks might get a whiff and try nab my bag!
• Some peoples tattoo’s amaze me,must be the ex artist in me. I love the different hue's that the colours make on flesh tones... I wonder what hues I could make on my skin canvas...
• Chilling out in the afternoon sun watching a damn fine drummer, eating Tokyo Star’s divine sushi (Coco highly recommends it! Delicious and reasonable) and sipping on Fat Bastard Sauv B is the perfect ending to a glorious weekend.

Thanks to all who participated, you’re my closed eyes moments.

PS. I was a heavy heart to carry... he took me to the river where he slowly let me drown.

Weekend Learning's

Birds of a feather...

The first Weekend Learning’s for 2012. When I look back at the first Weekend Learning’s of 2011 I cannot believe how much has changed. I cannot believe that January 2011 was when the clumsy started. 2011 was definitely the broken year. The more people I talk to the more I hear how tough it really was. It was by far the most testing and toughest year of my life. But I grew so much and learnt so many things. I am happier than I have ever been and its all because of you. This is what I learned this weekend;

• Detoxing is fun... If you’re a rabbit. No really it is and it saves a lot on the wallet.
• The Baron actually serves fresh Orange juice so its not so bad to go out and not drink at this particular bar.
• Friday night in with the pup is still one of my favourite things to do.
• I am going to do more of what makes me happy this year and if you don’t like it you can stay right where you are.
• Neighbourgoods Market in Juta Street Jozi is wonderful! I think it might be better than the Biscuit Mill one... But to be fair I will have to go at least 10 times. (yes I have been to the Biscuit Mill at least 10 times so what!?)
• Jozi has its own gorgeous Lomography store, I almost lit my eyes on fire in excitement. YAY for meeee! No more fretting about getting film in Cape Town.
• Dancing up a storm on a double shot (of espresso) is too much fun! Especially waking up early the next morning, feeling wonderful and banging out a 6km run. Feeling fab.
• Sometimes I wonder if there are such trivial things as Facebook in heaven. I wonder if my friends are up there reading their Facebook walls while all the poor souls still stuck on earth are writing on their angels walls... Its strange to me.
• I’m completely obsessing over the Drive soundtrack especially Under You’re Spell by Desire... Electro lurve. Ryan Gosling is so yummmy! eeek!
• The Counter’s brownie’s are the stuff dreams are made of... I want to name my first child 'Brownie' after these delectable slices of love. Prr!
• Wolves is still the best place to buy unique gifts and sip on amazing coffee, scrumptious I say.
• No matter how serious life gets, you still have that one person you can be completely stupid with.
• I will happily spend every Sunday night with my family at one of our braai's laughing hysterically about ridiculous matters and strange bread bought at Market on Main and then watch DVD’s in bed with my sister. I Appreciate the love of my family.

Have a beautiful week flowers!

Xoxo

PS. Not All who wander are lost. 

Something to live by in 2012.
